"'''Twincast'''" is a [[cloning|clone]] of [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] created by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]].<br />
<br />
==Fiction==<br />
===Dreamwave ''Generation 1'' comics===<br />
Twincast was one of several clones created by Shockwave in the same program that produced [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. While in a tube, he was discovered by the [[Battlecharger]]s, who released Sunstorm. The laboratory the clones were stored in was soon destroyed by Sunstorm. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}}<br />

===IDW ''Heart of Darkness'' comics===<br />
A Cybertronian resembling Twincast's alternate mode was seen being deployed (alongside several unidentifiable tapes) as part of Galvatron's army. While he is not seen after the initial deployment, it is unlikely that this TCybertronian survived the ensuing battle. This may or may not officially be Twincast. {{storylink|Heart of Darkness}}<br />

:Twincast is a repurposing of the original Twincast toy, which was intended as a new form for Blaster. For this Japanese-exclusive release, the first Blaster toy was [[redeco]]ed into a rather cacophonous new blue, yellow and red color scheme. Like his contemporary redeco Soundblaster, his chest door was [[Retool|retooled]] in order to accommodate two cassettes at once, and changed from colorless clear plastic to translucent red as part of a gimmick with his pack-in partner, Steeljaw. This version of Steeljaw sports a new decal depicting [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], which reveals the Decepticon's weak spot when placed behind Twincast's red door, working in the same manner as a [[Tech Spec]]s decoder.<br />
<br />
: In 2006, Twincast was reissued as an [[e-Hobby]] [[exclusive]], this time packaged with the new character [[Flip Sides (G1)|Flip Sides]].<br />
