    And twitch turned into Wheeljack's drones, she's his creation in alt mode, there is enough in the show to make this clear and important to her.

    She’s got really cool bot and alt modes. At least with my copy, however, the process to get back and forth is pretty fiddly as nothing wants to stay tabbed and held together. She is aptly named.

    What Megatron is that?

    I've found Twitch much easier to get into alt mode if you attach the weapon right after transforming the arms. The weapon is basically wedged between the chest and shoulders, holding the chest in place while you do the legs.

    If you don't like the weapon attached in alt mode, you can remove it once the legs are done, and the tabs on the feet will hold the chest in place.

    Are the deluxes worth it? Only interested in the deluxes. Been on the fence if I should get them. They seem like a lot of fun.

    I have Twitch and out of the 9 bots I’ve gotten this year she’s either number one or two depending on the day.

    I can’t speak on the others as I’ve not had in hand experiences with em.

    Twitch is pretty fun, I’d say she’s just about on par with other Generations deluxe.

    I’m only collecting the new characters from the show though so I can’t speak on the others.

    I might get twitch. And Nightshade whenever they’re revealed. Wish the Earthspark had incorporated voyagers and leaders even if it happened or not.

    They are. And they are :) 

    Megatron, Bumblebee, and Twitch are all nice to fiddle with (and a flying Megs makes a nice change - very swooshy). Shockwave will be too, and so will Grimlock if he's similarly a re-painted Cyberverse toy.

    And I expect that, like Cyberverse, some of the non-deluxe toys will be surprisingly interesting. Not all of them, of course, but warrior Thrash looks rather promising.

    I wish this line got Core Class figures because I'd love to get a Twitch at that size. Overall it's been nice seeing these figures get out in stores.

    Yeah, is kind of funny putting Twitch with my other figures who would probably be way taller than her. I'm at least hoping all Terrans get at least a deluxe.

    Think there's a third party modeler out there making a 3d printed Twitch at Core scaling.

    I’d say yes. Costing $5 less than a SS/Legacy deluxe, they are fun to fiddle with. If they go on sale I’d jump on them. I’d say my fun tier is Bumblebee>Twitch (if you shave the chest nubs to make transforming less annoying)>Megatron> Twitch with no modifications. Warrior Optimus is another fun-ish one, but I’m sure most will prefer the deluxe. Not a bad stand in for now though. Other Earthspark figures are forgettable, but I’m biased for the 1 step flippers and haven’t dealt with the tacticons yet

    One thing keeping me from buying into this line is the classes for some of the figures. The deluxes all look pretty good, but man I'd love to get a Core class Twitch and Voyager class Megatron from this series. A large deluxe/small voyager Elita-1 SUV would also be awesome.

    Yeah, main thing keeping me from Megs is his size in comparison to all my other Megs atm.

    Know it's unlikely since Legacy's only done previous/not current continuities but am kind of hoping one of the new characters could be slotted in for whatever the third year branding will be. Would kind of fit, thematically or whatever, to have it cover even the most recent TF show.

    Yea, it's a great Megatron design (though I do think the fusion cannon looks a bit weird). It definitely needs a larger figure.
