I suspect if we get them in a two pack, it'll be different decos, either reissues of G1 or something like the Argentinian decos

Twin Twist - Transformers Legacy (Deluxe class, 2022)

A lovely deco on a great toy. Buying this convinced me to get the regular colours version for my Generations collection.

Ultra Magnus as Delta Magnus - Transformers Shattered Glass (Leader class, 2022)

I got this toy purely because he's a spot on version of Delta Magnus. He's the centrepiece of my Diaclone Car Robot collection.

Deep Cover - Transformers Generations Selects (Deluxe class, 2021)

His special ability is to shrink down to 1/40 of his normal size, which means his toy could be 1:1 scale!

Road Rage - Transformers War for Cybertron: Kingdom (Deluxe class, 2021)

Gets her name from how turning into a car makes her personality change into a profanity-spewing menace to anyone else on the road.

Tigertrack - Transformers Generations Selects (Deluxe class, 2020)

He's the Transformers version of Daredevil, who can see normally in the dark, bad weather, and even see through holograms.

Lift-Ticket - Transformers Generations Selects (2022) & Botcon (2015)

I like to think Botcon Lift-Ticket is the character in his youth, while Selects is the character in the modern day.

Cordon - Transformers Generations Selects (Deluxe class, 2020)

He's kind of a tragic character - he's super-skilled, but he frequently loses all memory of who he is.

DK-2 Guard - Transformers Generations Selects (Deluxe class, 2022)

I dislike the way this guy's name is simply "Guard", so I prefer to call him "Mudguard". Regardless, it's an awesome deco.

Megatron - Transformers Studio Series (Leader class, 2024)

An utterly awesome robot design that blends classic and movie aesthetics, let down by vehicle modes that look like an incoherent jumble of parts.
