For their part, Ask Vector Prime Tumblr assigned Diaclone Twin Twist the identity of the barely-visible background character Borebit from Marvel The Transformers #18. Ask Vector Prime Borebit - Transformers Wiki They also designated Borebit's fellow driller Corkscrew as Diaclone Topspin despite the alt-mode discrepancy. For my part, I think of Borebit as the package art deco, red torso with blue limbs, while Corkscrew is the variant deco, blue-grey torso with blue limbs.
Not a "Gobot", it's Zetar one of the Powerdashers, and they were originally early Diaclone figures that were released as a special mail-away offer direct from Hasbro like the Omnibots.
Why do people call this a Diaclone redeco? Last I checked the Jumpstarters were never in the Diaclone line. Isn\'t this some brazilian repaint that came out during G1 times as Salt Man Z and X?
The cool thing is with the Wreckers logo already there he can go in with the other Wreckers I currently have in my collection (Kingdom Ultra Magnus, TFCC Side Burn & Dion, and TFA Leader Bulkhead)
Lesser known, but distinct from the Saltman/Roboman decos (although this deco is based of an alternate colorscheme not used in the ad)-
I can’t find my post, but I said that was going to call him that anyway. I didn’t think the Topspin as Corkscrew made sense, but that’s what he’s gonna be! Thanks! Yeah I had Zetar the drill dasher. I quoted both for context.
As weird as it is...I'm usually all about Diaclone repaints but this one leaves me flat and wishing we were getting the Saltman colors.
Well hasbro really knows how to get my money. Wreckers, titans return, and a diaclone repaint, this feels like it was made specifically for me.
Borebit is the Twin Twist repaint and Corkscrew is the Topspin one. Sure, other molds would be better, but this kills two birds with one stone (non-toy and Diaclone)
Heh, for my Diaclone Twin Twist system of Borebit + Corkscrew to work, I guess I will have to find two Autobot flyers to graft onto Diaclone Topspin, haha!
I like it. It saves me from the nightmare of trying to track down the originals twice over. I really wish they would re-release the originals and the Targetmaster jets while they're at it.
