I've never seen those before. That's not a bad Megatron.
Exquisite.
Not a big fan of Hot Wheels. Don’t hate them or anything; just ambivalent. I do remember having a Bone Shaker back in the day and all my classmates being envious. Think they ended up stealing it.
I also remember when I started getting into Transformers thinking how cool it would be if some of my Hot Wheels could transform and how they would look like as robots. I think me and some of my friends went so far as to draw some probable robot modes for our favorite Hot Wheels or Hot Wheels we wished we had. Or it may have been an assignment for an art class or something.Anyway, I genuinely outgrew my Hot Wheels phase and could have cared less to go back to it. That being said, the concept for these guys is really cool and I’m glad they exist, and at least this guy’s alright. The proportions of the arms are hella weird, but it’s pretty solid overall. And the transformation engineering is incredibly smooth, which I always really appreciate in what I’d consider a “good” Transformer. Not much parts massaging needed at all and hardly any fiddly bits whatsoever.
Don’t have Twinmill yet, but I had pre-ordered it on Amazon when it got sold out on Pulse. I think it’s arriving a little later this week.
There’s an undocumented feature where you can attach the stick shift to the car mode where stick shifts normally go in cars. It looks goofy as hell, but it’s there.
They obviously prioritized the car mode (as they should) and it is absolutely fantastic as an upsized Hot Wheel. Absolutely no notes. Astounding car mode.

Looks awesome, I can't wait to get mine.
I know that other companies never want their I.P. to be the "bad guy," but there is no way that this guy is an Autobot. Luckily, the "Autobot logo integrated into a skull and crossbones motif" can be reinterpreted as more of a "Death to Autobots!" sort of thing.
I like to think of him like an anti-hero. Maybe a former bad guy that is partially reformed that occasionally helps out when its convenient for him.
Or just the Cybertronian equivalent of Ghost Rider.
So long as the shanix holds out...
I'm fine with Boneshaker being an Autobot. I just figure he's either related to or a huge fanboi of Big Daddy. Twin Mill on the other hand I made a Decepticon because I like the way the purple symbol coordinates with his shades of blue.
Apparently never knew any car guys OR metal heads either.
It could just be the vehicle he happened to scan. It doesn't have to have anything to do with his personality.
Come to think of it, for what possible reason would someone want a disguise to have their personality written all over it?

Ask the likes of Sunstreaker, Tracks, Hot Rod, Cheetor, Knock Out, etc.
I’m just disappointed that his robot head is so normal. And that it has a faceplate, rendering his lollipop accessory useless.
Unless you're Universal Monsters, apparently.
"Frankenstein's monster was, in Marry Shelly's original tale, a confused and tortured soul who longed to be accepted by a world that shunned him. He did monsterous things, yes, but only when his attempts to find peace led to tragedy, and his father rejected him."
"Lame. Evil Decepticon."
-John Hasbro
This is why Skids is the best.Autobots are notoriously bad at disguises
I guess Megatron saw value in him where everyone else only saw a monster. And like any calculating villain, Megs must have preyed on Frank's tortured feelings of rejection to turn them into hatred and use him as a weapon for chaos and destruction. In that light, it's kinda tragic.
So, does Bone Daddy Shaker have any place to keep the gearstick thing in vehicle mode that doesn't look like a cross between the world's second-biggest antenna topper and a Tesla coil?
