Talk:Twin Twist (G1)

so, I kinda wanted to add something about twins twist's sort of odd scrappy relationship with the fandom, possibly as a note/trivia bit. but I'm not really sure how I'd go about doing this. I understand that he is one of those figures that, along with some the other jumpstarters, is one of those figures that every collector has, but has no real value. I also understand that the poor bloke gets killed a LOT, both in official fiction and whenever else a character needs to be grievously injured or killed. the fandom just seems to like picking on the dude. but how would I make a point of this, or should I even try?

I haven't seen anyone single Twin Twist out as the subject of mockery. As for his incessant dying... that kind of comes with the territory of being a Wrecker. --Detour 02:04, 30 January 2011 (EST)

Hmm, me neither. Am I just not hanging around the same boards? --abates 02:16, 30 January 2011 (EST)

I've seen fans kind of generally crap on the Jumpstarters as toys, but it's almost always counterbalanced with "But the characters are pretty cool 'cause they're Wreckers." In the earlier days of the online fandom when the Wreckers weren't as well known, there was a bit more dumping on them for "never appearing in anything" but now we know better. -hx 08:44, 30 January 2011 (EST)

Yeah, but the OP is singling out Twin Twist exclusively. I've not really seen that happen anywhere in the fandom. --Detour 08:50, 30 January 2011 (EST)

"Twin Twist sucks" is some kind of TFW2005 board meme, I think. I remember someone getting Colton Derring (kid who was in some TF: Cybertron toy commercials) at BotCon 2005 to sign "Twin Twist sucks" on something-or-other, and the guy being amused by this. It might be relevant for frequent TFW2005 users, but as I haven't seen it spread amongst the greater fandom, I wouldn't say it's worth noting on Twin Twist's page. We don't cover the Allspark's "such and such is reversed for Classics Kup" meme, either. --Monzo 10:09, 30 January 2011 (EST)

I believe it's kind of a dual needling of TFW2005 poster Twin Twist as well, but I'm not sure. - Chris McFeely 10:37, 30 January 2011 (EST)

Should we rename this page Twin Twist (G1), and rename FOC Twintwist's page to Twintwist (FOC)? I mean, G1 Sixshot and Energon Six Shot have their pages named Sixshot (G1) and Six Shot (Energon) respectively, so why not these pages as well?--CyclonustheWarrior (talk) 18:27, 12 September 2020 (EDT)

Legacy Twin twist head is still flameout

https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/s/8Mn1j79u2p someone asked mark about it, and he confirmed that twin twist didn't switch partners in the interim.Poliwag06 (talk) 20:25, 30 June 2025 (EDT)

Added to relevant pages. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 20:56, 30 June 2025 (EDT)
