Transformers Studio Series Topspin Review

[@Tjadimax]

I have mixed feelings about this figure. I have the original dotm figure, and I still think that its better. The ss figure is way better when it comes to vehicle mode, but robot mode, no. The original figure had waist rotation, claw articulation, and ankle tilt, as well has up and down movement. In the articulation department, studio series falls short. In the weapons department, studio series also falls short. The guns are molded in this grey plastic that stands out way too much. The rubber is weird too. The original had a darker grey color for the guns, and they were not made of rubber. Honestly, if hasbro just reused the original figure and molded it in better plastic, maybe downsize it just a little, It would be fine. But of course the studio series figure isn't bad and serves as a pretty good representation of dotm topspin. Just my thoughts.

[@uainjansun]

Hey atleast it's accurate the transformation unlike the original one who it's front lights are his tights

[@CJAX67]

Cliffjumper Studios I agree with you

[@legonstuffs4314]

I also have the original and I can agree that the robot mode was really good! When I get these I’m going to keep them in there vehicle modes next to the original figures!

[@noodlefire64]

Couldn’t agree more! They shoulda just released the original figure with better paint apps 😒

[@andreyofdoom]

@@uainjansun that's because in the movie art the headlights were there on his upper legs. So the original is accurate

[@joebiden613]

Still not sold on this guy. In a customizer's perspective, the original DOTM figure completely wrecks the ss one. Sure the ss one has more molded in detail but i can careless because the original has enough to compete.

I already have the original DOTM Deluxe Topspin. Should I order the new Studio Series figure?

[@andreyofdoom]

@@aleximusmagnus I would say yes if you got Road buster from studio series and if you want the more accurate car mode

I disagree. I think the SS one is vastly superior, but I’m not a customizer. Pretty sure the majority of consumers aren’t, unfortunately.

[@drinxyz454]

Same. I’m actually really looking forward for the review because I have never gotten a good cliffjumper figure.

[@CJAX67]

MTgamingYT 2005 what about leadfoot

[@RingoLoadagain]

Nice review! I'm shocked at how good he looks, considering he's the least prominent of the three in the movie. I'm relieved that he has less kibble than Roadbuster. Only downside seems to be those rubber guns. It's getting a bit silly how they assume kids will gouge out their eyes on every piece of these things haha! Can't wait to add a few touches of yellow and silver to mine!

[@meep1998]

His weaponized mode makes it look like he has null rays

[@7140noI]

You watch primevsprime? Awesome

[@NovexusNui777]

I still think the OG one is the better figure and more accurate. not saying SS is a bad figure, it's good but my reasons for me not liking the figure are the same reasons for why I don't like SS Sideswipe and thin the OG DOTM figure is better. except instead of inaccurate swords, Topspin's claws were inaccurate, Topspin had some pretty big claws and weren't arm mounted rather they were more like scorpion claws. also the car mode, SS looks like a hatchback from sideview rather OG more proportionate to the actual Nascar Track Car. The SS makes the claws look like small tasers or weird armblades, as for articualation, OG has it beat even having options to pose the cannons and for the guns, the fact that all 4 were removable and he had 7 avialable ports in bot mode, I could go WFC siege crazy on him for the weapons if I wanted to. in short I rather get the Original Topspin figure and just give him repolabels. *Update: I no longer hate the SS Sideswipe figure after owning it for about 2 years now, and grown to love it. But after owning the OG DOTM Topspin for about a year, yeah the SS "Update" is a bad figure. And is Definitely my least favorite figure in Studio Series.*

Jimmy Johnson's car (back when Lowe's was his sponsor) was always my favorite NASCAR because it was blue, which is my favorite color. Seeing that the car (well a similar looking one) was used as a Transformer blew my mind when I was younger and this toy still gives off that vibe (even though he doesn't have the Lowe's sponsors as due to a disasterous season for Jimmy Johnson).

When did they take down Devcon in the movie? To me the original Deluxe class DotM version is still superior in robot mode at least. No rubber parts, less or no fake alt mode parts in robot mode, ledss kibble, it is a bit taller/has better proportions and the shoulder cannons look way better.

[@isaandreso215]

@Swindle The Combaticon I hate Roadbuster. An ugly transformation, ugly robot mode with a silhouette f*cked by his ENORMOUS backpack and basically no accesories. I think his only good thing is his car mode, wich I like a lot

[@isaandreso215]

@Swindle The Combaticon Don't compare the gorgeous Masterpiece Sunstreaker with this mediocre piece of backpack. At least Sunstreaker has gimicks and more display options, he has an interesting transformation and the backpack don't affect his modes. Roadbuster literally has nothing

[@isaandreso215]

@Swindle The Combaticon Well, it truly is my opinion, but I'm not saying anything far from the reality :T

[@bahrahfahofficial1158]

I am so happy with how his back-kibble was handled; the fact that it folds up above his waist and packs itself in unlike Roadbuster, Ratchet, and Jazz who have car-roof-capes. Seriously, HasTak. No more CRC (Car-Roof-Cape).

[@fakename5307]

Being a pretty big Jimmie Johnson fan when I was younger, this just feels off to me. No Lowe's logo is one thing, but the font they went with for the #48 is just killing it for me.

[@drakenman4256]

Just got him today and Overload yesterday, so Devastator is complete. Honestly I didn’t expect for Topspin to be so short and squat, but I like it. I did have Roadbuster, but the arms were so loose I returned him.

I'm sick tired of rubber parts in accesories,I get it when you have some pointy/sharp like blades or similar but heck here all the weapons are made of that.I can give it a pass on the exhaust on the torso,but the claws or the guns,that`s a no no.The figure looks nice (unlike the upcoming Leadfoot) but could use more paint (I guest reprolabels will do something about it).

I don’t know why they didn’t give Roadbuster his armored mode back then. At least Leadfoot got his armored mode even though he didn’t make it to America. I also don’t know why we didn’t get a Human Alliance Topspin.

[@DetectiveBarricade]

I think the original idea was that they wanted to release "stock" and "weaponized" versions of all three, but the glut of first couple of waves of DOTM figures retailers ordered prevented that from panning out.

[@V1r4ge_]

i don't get why many people like the original one more... yes, it's more proportion accurate, but the paint, sculpt and size just doesn't feel like studio series, and the wheel placement on the original one, it's just... *bad*
