Toys
- Topspin (Jumpstarter, 1985)
- Twin Twist (Jumpstarter, 1985)
- Both Jumpstarters are notable for their autotransforming feature. Their alternate modes are spring-loaded, and held into place by a catch. Equipped with pull-back motors, they race forward when released, tripping the catch, which allows internal springs to snap the robots' bulky legs into place, which are balanced so as to leave the robot standing upright on its rather broad feet.
- On the back of both figures' heads is a device resembling a switch, which actually controls the position of a small internal weight. If a Jumpstarter won't stand upright when its legs snap out, but falls over sideways, the switch can be moved to the other side to compensate.
- Jumpstarters were made in sufficient numbers to fill the toy boxes of the entire known universe.
