The white areas on both of them were yellowed due to sun discoloration. These parts were repainted Light Gray. Top Spin was in the best shape - his arms are a little loose, and the Jumpstarter gimmick doesn't work like it should. Twin Twist had his gun broken off in his hand at one point, and the catch that holds him in vehicle mode has broken off (I used a rubber band to keep him in vehicle mode in the pictures, it's a very noticeable red rubber band).
The stickers are not original, since I had to take off whatever stickers the figures still had in order to paint them. I ordered them from http://www.reprolabels.com/ and I think they add quite a bit to the figures. Something I always enjoyed when I was little was applying the stickers to the figures.
I used Model Master Acryl paints - Flat Black, Gunmetal, Silver, Light Gray, & Gold.
Now, if you don't know what the original figures looked like, you can check out a full picture gallery for each one: Topspin, Twin Twist.

Nice job of painting, etc. You always were good with stuff like that.
Sigh.
That is one thing that I remember about you was your transformers craze.
Here is a question for you. Does the movie Transfomers give an accurate description of the original characters or were there some differences?
