I always find topic_tools/transform very useful, but somewhat difficult to use. I always helps me to write the expressions in a text editor, so that you can experiment and jump around a little bit more. I think this is the transform you are after: I am not able to test it right now, but you'll get the idea.

rosrun topic_tools transform /ts /tsnew geometry_msgs/TwistStamped 
  'geometry_msgs.msg.TwistStamped(
    header=m.header, 
    twist=geometry_msgs.msg.Twist(
      linear=geometry_msgs.msg.Vector3(
        numpy.linalg.norm([m.twist.linear.x, m.twist.linear.y, m.twist.linear.z]), 
        0.0, 
        0.0)))' 
   --import geometry_msgs

I have split it into several lines for clarity. Few notes, the imports can be a bit finicky and it's useful to test with the python interpreter.
