Twinferno is an Autobot from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family
Someone explained the idea of being a "robot in disguise" to Twinferno once. He told them to blow it out their exhaust port.

Twinferno has two minds that rarely think alike. At least they agree on "Great minds think alike" when it comes to destroying Decepticons.<ref>Hasbro.com Warrior Class Twinferno bio</ref>

Double the awesome in half the volume. That's, like, four times as awesome!
  • Autobot Twinferno (Legion Class, 2017)
Part of the thirteenth and final wave of Legion Class figures (and the only figure in the wave), Twinferno is functionally a downsized version of the Warrior Class toy, but with less articulation. As such, he changes from dragon-jet to robot in a few simple steps. His scan badge is located on the underside of his left wing and is easily scannable while in-pack...no, you can't even scan it with the Mobile Game due to the app's lack of recent updates, rendering the badge ornamental and purely useless.
As a tail-end release, this Twinferno never saw release in many (if not, all) toy stores in Asian countries like Malaysia, so fans must rely on a very small number of hobby shop dealers to get him. In December 2018, a number of Legion Twinfernos (along with a reissued Sideswipe and Groundbuster) is later available in a 6-day event held by a shop, and later in April 2019; He and the entire wavemates is finally released at retail...in limited numbers at Popular Book Stores, in a discounted price of RM15.90 (approx $3) as part of the "Must Buy!" offers.


"We accidentally flew over a third-world country back there. The local inhabitants saw us and mistook us for a vengeful dragon god, so now they're burning everything to appease us."
  • Autobot Twinferno (Warrior Class, 2017)
  • Accessories: 2 flame effects
Released as part of the third wave of the Combiner Force subline of Robots in Disguise, Twinferno transforms from a robot with dragon heads as arms into a futuristic dragon-headed stealth bomber. His flame accessories can attach to the dragon mouths or jet thrusters by a square peg, or held by other figures by 5 mm posts. There are also 5 mm holes in the bottom jaw of both heads. There is additionally a standard sized port only available in vehicle mode, as it is blocked by his cockpit in robot mode.
His rear stabilizer fins are only held on with friction, and are prone to popping off.
His scannable badge is located on his right shoulder, and is available in-package. Scanning it with the Mobile Game unlocks 8 Ultra Sparks and 2 tickets for Cryostase instead of unlocking the character.
While his rendered package art shows him as a maroon shade, his final release is a magnificent, Willis-pleasing shade of orange.
