Wow, nice to see Topspin and Twintwist, though no one really likes them...

Hehe. I really liked it. My brother and I had those guys. They were the ones that you let run, and they jump from vehicle form into robot form, right?
Anyway, loved the comic. Very well drawn, and the lines are cool.
"You two are on artillery." Love their smirks when they are given the chance to join in.

The Jumpstarters were actually released in the second year of the Trans Formers toyline being on sale.
Another good Mosaic.

I had never heard of those two guys up until recently, then they start showing up in comics I'm reading. Interesting gimmick, those Jumpstarters...

Heh, the smirks on their faces on the last panel.
Springer looks as old as Kup... X3 *runs away*

I absolutely adore the art. It's simple, but detailed and very, very expressive.

Topspin and Twintwist.
They were the pull-back jumpstarters that everyone's mum could afford, but they were non-cartoon so not as cool.
I always loved them, though.
Great to see 'em in a mosaic.

You backed the toys up then let them go. the speed up then a spring-loaded latch releases and their legs kick out. If your lucky the toys lands standing on its feet. Thats about all they were good for. You can still find commercials for them on YouTube.

Really? How many, in TOTAL, were there? And which factions did they belong to?

There were only 2 in total, the ones you see in the comic here. I guess they really didn't catch on, they were released just about at the end of the G1 toy line.

Hardly near the end - they were part of the second wave, simultaneous with characters like the Constructicons, the second batch of Autobot cars (Tracks, Smokescreen, et al) and the Dinobots.

Ok, my bad. I had just never heard of them before too long ago. I figured that if they spent time developing a jumpstart gimmick that they would cash in on it more by creating some Decepticons.

The Decepticons got the Battlechargers (Runabout and Runamuck) as a response

Indeed, Twin Twist was the first one my parents got me as a child.

Topspin and Twintwist. They have a history with Springer as being part of the Wreckers. This comic appears to be how they joined up with that crew.

Ah. I understand now! They're like identical twins! Kinda like the Autobot clones, only different!

Er, not really. The toys are actually quite different looking, except that they have the same gimmick and proportions so they can make their gimmick work.
