Wow dude! I have been waiting for an updated Jumpstarter to show up. Excellent job.

So, when can we expect to see Topspin?

thanks for the comments guys!
to answer a few quickies...

• the main reason i used the grey color is because i didn't want to crack open a new bottle of white,while i had a almost finished bottle of tamiya grey
• @jourdo..... soon enough my friend...soon enough(just gotta find another junker astrotrain first)

i also may want to see what can be done about the decepticon battlechargers and their "billboard" like bot modes.

i was thinking about using rotf lockdown for the battlechargers if i can figure out a way to eliminate the goat legs completely

nice job on twin twist, not sure if i like the grey, but it looks great nonetheless

I really like how the gray brings out the mold details, so nice job!

Also, the Jumpstarters' feet were joined by a plastic flat strip. This was just screwed into both feet making it very easy to remove. (correct me if I'm wrong)
This proves that the original designers did this for you to customize 24 years later!

The Battlechargers may have looked better in alt mode for fans who enjoy alt modes that look like real cars in our time.




I thought about that too. Is it because the gritty black on gray look makes him look cool, but on white it would make him look dirty?

same thing.
They were the decepticons equivalent to the jumpstarters. I've been collecting from TFs since the start and have always lumped them together because they had almost the exact same gimmick. The autobots were better IMO, more articulated and well more fun to play with.

are you planning to do a twin twist as well?

OoooooOOOOoOOOOOoOOOOOOOoooo!!!!

Me loves it!!!!

You probably shouldn't bring that one to TFcon, it might "disapear" from the display table.

Cheers!

[Nocturn]

Why twintwist? Why not the rest of Fort Max?

[Bruticus82]

Great job Chans! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. Now if only I could find the time to do something half as impressive myself!

[Ultra Maverick]

Great work!!!
