    They have much simpler transformations and are much more floppy because there are fewer points to tab the parts.

    And I know this because I own most of those Targetmasters.

    As much as I'd prefer the Jumpstarters get new, non headmaster molds, I'm guessing we'll just have to make do with these for the foreseeable future. The colors do look good. Too bad it's likely gonna be a floppy, frustrating mess like all the other TR molds I own.

    If only I could get the normal colored versions though. This and his brother will go on my Rodimus era Wrecker shelf lead by Springer, but I still need the normal ones for the Impactor lead Wreckers.

    The legends targetmasters all have translucent parts for no reason however which means there durability is in inferior. Shrekmate

    I hope to get this mold. Never saw this wave at retail and not willing to pay the current prices for this mold. It would be great to have this with my original g1 version and saltman version.

    Yes, that's another flaw.

    Wish they had remolded him to have ankle tilts. That's the biggest bummer with all of these pre-WFC chug figures. So glad that pretty much every figure, deluxe and up, is getting ankle tilts these days

    Looks great, but the price will determine whether or not I’ll get him. I just got Skids and paid nearly double what a TR Deluxe did, so I’m not keen on paying the same for a figure that I already have. Especially since they’ll do Topspin eventually.

    I morn the loss of saltman, but I do really like that classic Diaclone Super-Robot color scheme. And yeah, with the titanmaster pilot gimmick, it makes sense to lean in to Diaclone theming for these guys.

    I wonder if his Headmaster is Flameout or a new character.

    One of the best TR molds, I reccomend anyone who missed out to get him, he holds up to any Deluxe from the last few years IMHO.

    As someone who missed out on the original Titans Return Twin Twist, I\'m preordering this the second it goes on sale, cause I am not about to pay the aftermarket prices on him.

    It’s nice and all but can’t we just get a rerelease of the elusive wave 3 bots?

    TR Twin Twist is such a great toy and its a shame hasbro never did re-release Wave 5 of titans return deluxes. I paid like 60 for mine in 2018 and do not regret it.

    I will definitely get this for my diaclone collection.

    I get that TR Twin Twist was hard to find but is giving the Diaclone deco really going to satisfy those who missed out the first time?
