Experience a classic piece of Cybertronian history with this original G1 Transformers Jumpstarter: Topspin. Released in 1985, the Jumpstarters were famous for their unique pull-back motor "instant transformation" mechanism. While this unit shows its battle scars, it remains a fantastic piece for parts, restoration, or as a nostalgic shelf filler for fans of the original Autobot line.

Topspin is known for his futuristic Cybertronian jet alt-mode and his role as a brave, if somewhat reckless, member of the Wreckers in expanded lore.

Product Features

  • Original 1985 Tooling: This is an authentic Hasbro/Takara G1 release, featuring the classic decals and molding that modern reissues can't quite replicate.

  • Auto-Transform Mechanism: Designed with the signature "Jumpstarter" pull-back motor that triggers a spring-loaded flip into robot mode.

  • Iconic Alt-Mode: Transforms from a robotic warrior into a twin-nosed Cybertronian aquatic/jet vehicle.

  • Restoration Potential: An ideal candidate for a collector looking to practice "Customizing" or for sourcing original vintage parts like the arms, head, or internal motor components.

Item Details

  • Brand: Hasbro / Takara

  • Year Released: 1985

  • Series: Transformers Generation 1 (G1)

  • Sub-Group: Jumpstarters

  • Character: Topspin

  • Format: Loose / Action Figure Only

Item Condition

This figure is in Battle-Damaged / Repair-Needed Condition.

  • Structural Note: The front clasp/latch is broken. This is a common issue with the Jumpstarter mold. Because the latch is broken, the figure will not stay locked in its "vehicle" mode and will spring into robot mode automatically.

  • Pull-Back Motor: The motor mechanism has been tested; it still winds and pulls back, though the automatic flip-up is permanent due to the broken latch.

  • Paint & Decals: Original factory stickers are present with significant vintage wear and edge-peeling. The white and blue plastic shows honest play-wear and minor scuffing consistent with its 40-year age.

  • Joints: The arm joints remain functional.

  • Accessories: This listing is for the loose figure only. (Does not include the Twin Ion Impulse Blaster).

  • Storage: Kept in a smoke-free, climate-controlled environment.

“Twas the Night before Christmas” illustrated by Matt Tavares
Format: Hardcover
Clement C. Moore - “Twas the Night before Christmas” is a perennial holiday favorite of mine. Matt Tavares’ monochrome illustrations are incredible! Mr. Tavares’ version remains true to the text within the original 1823 poem, ”A Visit from St. Nicholas”. As noted - two original reindeer names – Dunder and Blixem. I highly recommend Irish illustrator PJ Lynch 2021 version and American illustrator Matt Tavares 2022 version of Moore’s “Twas the Night before Christmas”.

This beautiful story of Saint Nicholas completely unedited!
This is the complete story, a visit from Saint Nicholas! Also known as twas the night before Christmas! This is the original how it was written and the classic that has lived and will continue to live on forever in everyone's heart! This is not the edited version by the thought police. This is the classic in all its Glory celebrating Saint Nicholas and Christmas and the beauty of Christmas and Saint Nicholas. That has been enjoyed by generations since it was first written before it's destruction by editing. Buy this book! This is the original as it was intended that generations have enjoyed young and old alike!

Tavares' beautiful craftsmanship brings Moore's poem to life
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas: or Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas is a beautifully illustrated edition of the famed Clement C. Moore poem. Using the original anonymous version of the poem (later attributed to Moore), artist Matt Tavares crafts a series of elegant black and white illustrations that captures its enchantment and whimsy. Additionally, the book’s layout has a simple yet classic design with green trim and subtle pieces of shading that give it a majestic look and feel. One of the best editions of the poem ever published, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas: or Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas has a bit of magic all its own.

Beautiful book
I purchased this book for my kids to read as it gets closer to Christmas. I specifically chose it because of the old world charm it has. I love the black and white sketches and the fact that the outdoor scenes of brownstones were illustrated from Boston brownstones, where we used to live. This book is just a classic and the illustrations have such depth and emotion. There is that quality and detail you can only get from black and white..and from an amazing illustrator. Lovely book. I'm very happy to own it and have it as part of our Christmas tradition..a lot more special to me than Elf on The Shelf..which was last years Christmas book purchase.

Impressive
I have not yet received my order, but just by the two illustrations that I have seen in this ad, I would like to say that - As an artist, I am VERY impressed by the pencil drawings in this book by Matt Tavares. I was looking for a SPECIAL 'Night Before Christmas' book to give to my sons so that they could continue the tradition that we had of reading the book every Christmas Eve to them. Now they will have their own book to read to their children, to continue our tradition. One that is unique and timeless.
