    I think he'll probably be apart of that four-pack I heard about.

    The four pack is not in the Wreckers subline, it is a part of Buzzworthy. It consist of Ransack, Goldbug, Scorponok, and Parasite.

    Nope, Diaclone Top Spin is also part of the Wreckers subline. The only 4 pack I'm aware of is the upcoming Buzzworthy World's collide 4 pack with toy Scorponok, Parasite, Ransack and Goldbug

    Sorry, you replied while I had multiple pages open and hadn't refreshed the page. No need to be snarky.

    My current theory is based on the idea that the Amazon Exclusive Wreckers capsule(?) at 9 "known" (rumoured) figures, thus matching the sum total of figures (excluding Battlemaster Sights) of the prior Amazon Exclusive B.A.T. and G.D.C. sets rolled together may be something like this:

    (Taking the B.A.T. breakdown of 1 x Voyager + 1 x Deluxe 2-pack , and one 2 x Deluxe 2-pack put out, added to the GDC releases of a 2 x Deluxe 2-pack, a 1 x Deluxe Plus 1 x Battlemaster, 1 x Voyager recolour (+ new head), and 1 x Deluxe-with-a-disk (I have now typed "Deluxe" enough times that I'm starting to think I've spelt it wrong) as the model thus assuming they follow the same release format exactly)

    1 x Voyager + 1 x Deluxe 2-pack = Springer + Fossilizer
    2 x Deluxe 2-pack 1 = Impactor + Fossilizer
    2 x Deluxe 2-pack 2 = Leadfoot & Fractyl
    1 x Deluxe Plus 1 x Battlemaster = Topspin (Diaclone Recolour) + Smashdown (in a Silver grey/Steel Metallic-ish deco, guessing they might crib from the Mech Idea Crüe Mallets)*
    1 x Voyager recolour (+ new head?) = Bulkhead (Recolour), seeing as Tigatron got a new bonce but was the same dude (pretty much). Possibly a g1-ified Beast Hunters styled alt noggin? Maybe in Roadbuster colours 'cause that's a Wrecker deco, and Bulk's worn it before? (This is my "Mutant Tigatron Gambit", that once again one of them will be in orange, & green, with a new head!)
    1 x Deluxe-with-a-? = Twin Twist (Diaclone Recolour) plus extra pack-in accessory?**

    This theory may soon, or even immediately, be blown out of the water as Hasbro Logic often seems to defy standard! :p 

    * = Punting on this as Smashdown has yet to be half-inched from the factory seconds bin whilst Twin Twist has been.
    ** = Maaaaybe a WWII 'Bee warhammer, though honestly I feel that's a lot more mass than Terrorsaur's disk so maybe something else Wreckers-adjacent I haven't thought of?

    I was also reffering to the the fact that I have been posting information about the 4 pack and the two sublines for the past several weeks.

    No matter how many times it feels I say something(we know to be fact)someone else will come along and say the opposite.

    It just feels like it’s pointless.

    I just hope it's not that one.

    The Blue and light blue looks more appealing.

    Diaclone is known for it’s infamous Red and Blue shade “Hero” colorscheme.

    Umm you're worn. The plastics on the Siege version are dull, inferior. Plus I have had mine longer than the siege versions so I would love to see an actual comparison to actual owners, not speculators.

    But having the alt color scheme helps to differentiate Topspin and Twin Twist a bit more.
