- Collaborative Twin Mill is a Deluxe Class figure that transforms into a new version of the 1969 Hot Wheels original-design "Twin Mill" racer, using the classic "Spectraflame" blue color. The twin engine blocks of the car form arm-mounted guns for the robot mode, complete with flame-exhaust fire blast effects that slot onto the long exhaust pipes (and are curved so they go around Twin Mill's wider-at-the-back contours).
- Undocumented in the instructions, but depicted in the card artwork, the air intakes of the engine blocks are attached by 5 mm posts and can be held as pistols (or mounted wherever else you like that's 5 mm compatible). The exhaust pipes are also removable 5 mm-post attachments, though they also have long, low stabilizing bars at the base to keep them properly positioned on the car-chunks, which can interfere slightly with their use as hand-held weapons given the shallowness of the pegs.
- Twin Mill (Deluxe, 2026)
- Accessories: Left & right engine guns, 2 air intakes/pistols, left & right exhaust pipes, 2 exhaust Fire Blast effects
- Twin Mill was re-released in a red deco the following year, matching the "Spectraflame" red variation of the 1969 Twin Mill car. He retains all of the features of the original.
