{{disambig2|Transformer twins in general|[[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] in particular|the Twins}}
Transformer '''twins''' often share a closer connection than other forms of Transformer [[relatives]].

==Generation 1 continuity==
[[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] were fraternal<ref>Sunstreaker's [http://www.tfu.info/1984/Autobot/Sunstreaker/sunstreaker.htm ''Universe'' bio].</ref> twin brothers.<ref>Sideswipe's toy bio.</ref> Fiction at the time never explored the details of this relationship, or if there was such a thing as identical twins.

Later fiction (incorporating the concepts of [[spark]]s and [[protoform]]s [[retcon|retroactively]]) revealed that brothers were formed when a spark that was being introduced to a protoform naturally split. {{storylink|More Than Meets The Eye (G1)|More Than Meets The Eye}}

[[Rumbler (G1)|Rumbler]] and [[Sprocket (G1)|Sprocket]] were twins, despite their personalities being completely dissimilar. According to Rumbler, they were twins because they were built at the same time, with the same blueprints. {{storylink|A Team Effort}}

==''Animated'' continuity==
[[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]] and [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] were born with identical circuitry which is what made it easy to operate on them. Apparently they seemed to be two components of one [[Safeguard (Animated)|true form]].{{fact|Is Safeguard his true form, or does it just seem to be.}}

They also had twin telepathy powers which meant each actually knew what the other was thinking. {{storylink|First (and Second) in Flight}}

[[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] thought [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] and [[Captain Fanzone's car]] were twins but they really weren't. {{storylink|Velocity}}

==Live-action film series==

Two Transformers that were twins had a special relationship to each other. The two were intimately linked. Their relationship was so close, they considered the other to be their other half.

When one twin died, the other felt a temporary surge of pain, but continued on afterwards by himself.

===Twin Link===
Twins could communicate in a way that was almost psychic. This was instantaneous and worked even at a distance. Twins could use this to coordinate battle tactics.<ref>Skid's and Mudflap's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm battle bios].</ref>

78.148.23.190: /* Prime */

[[Image:PrimeDirective4 Cover SunstreakerSideswipe.jpg|right|300px|thumb|You, Artist! Make me shinier!]]
Throughout the [[Transformer|Transformers]] multiverse are many Transformers who consider themselves family and refer to each other as such. The most common case is when two Transformers regard each other as siblings. Transformers even occasionally express familial relationships with non-Transformers.

Given that Transformers are not organic life and likely do not [[Reproduction|reproduce sexually]], the origin, distinction, and exact meaning of many of these terms is frequently unclear.

== Possible explanations ==
The [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] ''[[More Than Meets The Eye (G1)|More Than Meets The Eye]]'' guide provides a partial possible answer. According to the guide, when a [[spark]] naturally splits as it's being introduced to a [[protoform]], it creates two robots who are "brothers", (or [[twin]]s), such as Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. When such a spark division is artificially induced, the less balanced and self-reliant pair created are referred to as [[Cloning|"clones"]]. (This definition of "brother" may or may not apply to [[Optimus Prime (RID)| RID Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (RID)| Magnus]], whose brotherhood was said to result from the special circumstance of having been created simultaneously by [[Alpha Trion (RID)| Alpha Trion]]).

However, the "[[Beast Era]]" widened the issue of reproduction with [[Rattrap]] referring to his "great-aunt" [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] and in general the practice of [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] referring to the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s as their respective "ancestors", as well as themselves as being their "descendants", implying a direct [[DNA|genetic]] (for want of a better term) lineage. Various sources of debatable [[Canon|canonicity]] suggest that [[Optimus Primal]] is specifically descended from [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], usually through the phrase "his ancestor Optimus Prime." In the absence of [[Reproduction#Sexual_reproduction| sexual reproduction]], the use and meaning of these genealogical references is difficult to explain. One possible explanation might be a situation such as when [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] is brought to life. Her spark and protoform are heavily damaged, and [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] allows some of his parts to be used as replacements while [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] guides the procedure. {{storylink|The Spark}} To compare to [[human]] procedures, this is something like assisting with childbirth and donating blood or organs. It seems unlikely that this happened enough to cause two large societies to consider themselves "descendants" of two other large ancient societies.

Other family designations exist as well. [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] has "parents" who were lost in his crash on [[Quintessa]], according to [[The Story of Wheelie, the Wild Boy of Quintesson|some background material]]. The Mini-Con [[Twirl]] very specifically calls [[Falcia]] her "mother" (which Falcia ''hates'') and seems to treat [[Redline]] like a father, since the two's spark frame energies went into constructing her [[Structure| physical form]]. {{storylink|Linkage Part 7}} In the ''Armada'' cartoon, [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]] refers to [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] as his brother after Hot Shot saves his life, suggesting at least an understanding of the concept; on the other hand, the ''Armada'' cartoon is originally Japanese, and in [[Japan]], 'brother' and 'sister' can be used as terms of affection or respect to an unrelated person. The [[Unicron Trilogy]] universe has also used the term "cousin" for certain Transformers on occasion. The [[Victory (manga)| ''Victory'' manga]] from the Japanese Generation 1 era features Decepticon wives and children. Even the [[Transformers (2007)|live-action movie]] features an [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] who are brothers, and it is mentioned in [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|the related Nintendo DS game]] that Megatron "took the spark" of their father.

In the [[Dreamwave Generation One continuity]], [[Getaway]] remarks that his proto-hatcher would have been proud of him for making the most wanted list. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}}

The [[IDW Generation 1 continuity]] has [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] mentioning that his ''"batch proto-initiator '''told''' me there'd be moments like this''...", when he was wondering if he should take the humans and investigate the bunker in Nebraska. {{storylink|Infiltration issue 3|Infiltration #3}}

[[Ironhide (Animated)| Ironhide]] mentions that [[Brawn (Animated)| Brawn]] is ''"his brother from another batch proto-initiator''..." {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II}}
