:''Sinnertwin is a [[Decepticon]] [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. He is sadly sometimes known as '''Twinstrike'''.''
[[Image:Sinnertwin.jpg|right|250px|thumb|My name is WAY cooler than yours.]]
Like his fellow Terrorcons, '''Sinnertwin''' is a horrific insult to nature itself. Sinnertwin frequently patrols the Terrorcons' lair with the hope of finding anything unfortunate enough to be alive in his presence. Then comes the killing, and what with his multiple heads and sadistic nature, this is not something one would like to witness. Ironically, he's terrified of small creatures.

He has the most awesome name in Transformer history.  No matter what [[Slayride]] says.

Sinnertwin can combine with his fellow Terrorcons to form [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]].

===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[David Workman]] (English), [[Jered Barclay]] (English), [[Tomomichi Nishimura]] (Japanese)|[[Hans-Rainer Müller]] (German, left head, "Grimlock's New Brain"), [[Reinhard Brock]] (German, left head, "Money Is Everything"), [[Ulrich Bernsdorff]] (German, right head, "Grimlock's New Brain", "The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1"), [[Bernd Simon]] (German, right head in "Money Is Everything", left head in "The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1")}}
[[File:MoneyIsEverything Sinnertwin and Cutthroat.jpg|thumb|left|200px|He's on the left.]]
Sinnertwin, along with the rest of the Terrorcons, was first encountered when the Autobots went to [[Unicron]]'s head to stop Galvatron from acquiring [[anti-electron]]s. During the battle, he menaced [[Kup (G1)|Kup]], who claimed to have fought bigger monsters than Sinnertwin. When the Terrorcons seemed successful in overpowering the Autobots, Grimlock ran off and quickly created the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]]. Meeting these new opponents, the Terrorcons formed into Abominus and fought the Technobots' merged form of [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. Unfortunately for them, the highly intelligent Autobot [[Combiner|gestalt]] defeated Abominus by vibrating, forcing Abominus to separate back into his component Terrorcons. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

[[File:MoneyIsEverything Sinnertwin picks up Marissa.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]
He and the other Terrorcons aided the [[Quintesson]]s when they were dealing with smuggler [[Dirk Manus]] for a secret weapon. The Quintessons had installed a timer to regulate their activity as Abominus. When Computron defeated them again, this time by shorting out that timer to separate Abominus back into the individual Terrorcons, they were freed enough to escape back to the Decepticons. {{storylink|Money Is Everything}} Later, Sinnertwin was one of the [[Primitive]]s summoned to fight [[Tornedron]]. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}} 

Sinnertwin and the others were victorious over the Technobots when the latter attempted to stop the Terrorcons from stealing [[Mark Morgan|Dr. Morgan]]'s new heat resistant alloys from his lab, injuring his daughter [[Jessica Morgan|Jessica]] in the process. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} Sinnertwin was last seen fighting the Autobots both on Earth and later on Cybertron during Galvatron’s full-scale attack on the Decepticons' former homeworld. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Masashi Ebara]] (Japanese)}}

In [[2011]], Sinnertwin and the Terrorcons journeyed to Cybertron over the long-abandoned Decepticon [[space bridge]]. They were part of the first wave of Galvatron's siege, hoping to gain control of [[Vector Sigma]]. Sinnertwin's team combined into Abominus to battle [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Later on, Abominus teamed up with his fellow combiners to wage war on their Autobot counterparts. Their victory seemed assured until the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]] swooped in and scattered the Decepticon combiners. They barely survived the encounter. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} On Earth, Sinnertwin and the Terrorcons intervened on [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]]'s search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] and the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] kept the Terrorcons busy so that Hot Rod could complete his mission. Even after the Terrorcons formed Abominus, the Headmasters stood against them, and the arrival of Computron swung the odds firmly on the Autobots' side. Abominus was last seen with his head buried in the sand, being kicked in the side by Computron. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

When Galvatron launched a [[Metamorphose|metal-warping meteorite]] at the Autobots on [[Athenia]], he brought along Sinnertwin and the Terrorcons to occupy the Autobot forces. Linking up as Abominus, they once again battled Computron and the Headmasters. {{storylink|Approach of the Demon Meteorite}}

Scorponok devised a scheme to harvest [[plasma energy]] from the planet [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] by setting off a series of explosives that would utterly destroy the planet, releasing its stored energies. Sinnertwin and the Terrorcons were responsible for planting the bombs. Hun-Gurrr was spotted by [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]], [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and [[Shouki]] of the Trainbots, but Sinnertwin caught sight of them while on sentry duty, and managed to take them hostage. Hun-Gurrr left [[Rippersnapper (G1)|Rippersnapper]] and Sinnertwin in charge of the hostages, while he took the other Terrorcons to finish planting the charges. They caught an amusing show as Wheelie and Danny fought in their cell, but the tussle was actually a feint to hide a homing signal Danny sent out to his father. The Headmasters soon arrived and drove off Sinnertwin and Rippersnapper, freeing the hostages. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} Regrouping, the Terrorcons managed to get two of the three sites set before being set upon by [[Raiden]] and the Headmasters. By forming Abominus, Sinnertwin's team held their own until Scorponok arrived with his mighty [[Transtector]], MegaZarak. The giant scorpion occupied the Autobots long enough for the Terrorcons to finish their work, and Mars was consumed by the resultant atomic inferno. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}}

Soon after, Sinnertwin and the Terrorcons joined Sixshot the returning Galvatron on an energy raid. They sought to prevent the Autobots from re-energizing the distant world of [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]], and steal the energy for themselves. Sinnertwin's team formed Abominus for yet another in a series of battles against Computron. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}} Sinnertwin was present when Galvatron announced his plans to leave the galaxy and loot the energy resources of other solar systems. {{storylink|Daniel Faces His Biggest Crisis Ever!!}} He was later seen helping [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gurrr]] gather energy together on the planet Paradise. {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}}

Sinnertwin returned with Galvatron and the other Decepticons, setting up shop on Earth under Sixshot's command. He joined an enormous offensive against the Autobots' facility in [[Miami]], drawing out the troops from Autobot City so that Sixshot could kill [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]. Body-slamming Computron as Abominus was just icing on the cake. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} The warfare on Earth continued, as Sinnertwin and the Terrorcons assembled as Abominus in part of a five-fold simultaneous strike on Autobot interests engineered by Sixshot. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} As Scorponok assumed control of the Decepticons again, Sinnertwin was seen at a rally being held in his honor on Chaar. Sinnertwin and the Terrorcons later joined a Decepticon strike on the Kamchatka Peninsula, seeking to gain control of the [[Pacific Ring of Fire]]. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}}

As Scorponok abandoned Earth in favor of conquering [[Master (planet)|Master]], Sinnertwin was one of his many troops seen attacking the planet's fortifications. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}} As part of Abominus, Sinnertwin participated in the final battle with the Autobots at the North Pole. He escaped into space with the rest of Scorponok's Decepticons. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

====''Zone'' cartoon, comic and story pages====
Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violen Jiger]] gathered together the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]], upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets.  Sinnertwin was one of those summoned, but only as a part of [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (manga)|Zone}} {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
[[Image:ColdWar-Horribullleads.jpg|left|thumb|300px|]]
Sinnertwin and the Terrorcons were among the ranks commanded by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], and came to [[Nebulos]] along with the rest of his soldiers. They attacked the city of [[Splendora]] along with the [[Horrorcon]]s, but even after assuming their [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] form they were driven off by the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] and the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]], [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] and [[Brainstorm]]. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}} Later, Sinnertwin and his comrades were assembled by [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]] to accompany him and Scorponok in a raid on [[The Nursery]], although they ended up stalemating in battle with the new Autobot [[Targetmaster]]s. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

Scorponok eventually brought his crew to Earth, and Sinnertwin and the Terrorcons came with him. While attempting to "break bread" with [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s Earthbound Decepticons, a fight broke out between the two factions. Sinnertwin charged into battle against the other Decepticons, following [[Horri-Bull]] into the fight. {{storylink|Cold War!}} Later, the Decepticon factions joined forces with the Autobots against the [[Underbase]]-empowered [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. Joining [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] on the ground in [[Buenos Aires]], the Terrorcons were barely into the fight before Starscream casually annihilated them in mid-air while falling off the tower at [[Avenida Nueve de Julio]]. {{storylink|Dark Star}}

====Marvel UK future timelines====
[[Image:Rippersnapper sinnertwin time wars.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
In [[2009]], Sinnertwin and the Terrorcons were terrorizing the human population of Earth during the raging timestorm. He demonstrated rather poor manners by talking with his mouth full. 'Course, it was the ''other'' mouth that was full, but still...

After a battle with the Autobots, Soundwave and the Terrorcons followed them [[time travel|back in time]] to [[1989]], where they became cursorily involved in the conflict with their old commander, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. However, Soundwave made a point of keeping Sinnertwin and the rest of his men out of the direct line-of-fire, letting their allies take the heat. They then time-jumped back to the future when things got desperate, without so much as a "by your leave". {{storylink|Time Wars}}
{{-}}

====''Classics''====
In the 21st century, Sinnertwin and the Terrorcons were repaired and rejoined the Decepticons under [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s control. One day, they were working in the armory when Hun-Grrr summoned them for battle. Sinnertwin and the others joined as Abominus and fought against their fellow Decepticons without even knowing why Hun-Grrr was angry. They ended up getting impaled by [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]], blasted into stasis lock, and taken off to wherever [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]] and [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] dispose of old waste.

And yet, they probably had no regrets. {{storylink|At Fight's End}}

===''Transformers in 3-D''===
The Terrorcons and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] intercepted [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s team during the search for [[Metascan Alpha]]. The Terrorcons united into Abominus, but the Autobots ignored them and continued with their mission. A short time later, Abominus came under attack from the [[Destructon]]s and was blasted apart. The Terrorcons began a retreat and found themselves being aided by Ultra Magnus, resulting in Cyclonus agreeing to a truce between the two factions. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
Following [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]]'s first defeat at the hands of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]], [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] banished him to the planet [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]]. The Terrorcons, however, preferred a more lethal punishment and set out to finish the job.  {{storylink|Wreckage (issue)|Wreckage}} When they found him, Megatron proved to be stronger than they expected and ripped Sinnertwin's left head off after he'd only got to have one bite of him. After all the Terrorcons had been defeated, they realized the best move was to swear loyalty to Megatron and follow him back to Cybertron to overthrow Scorponok.  {{storylink|Prey (issue)|Prey}}

[[Image:SpotlightSIxshot Sinnertwin.jpg|left|200px|thumb|"My mint condition Sixshot! N-"]]
Sinnertwin later became the acting treasurer of the [[Sixshot]] fan club. He wasn't too good at the job, but he tried harder. He and the other Terrorcons were sent to [[Mumu-Obscura]], but were taken prisoner by the [[Reaper]]s to lure Sixshot to the planet. The Reapers offered membership to their little club so long as Sixshot destroyed the Terrorcons. Sinnertwin freaked out when he thought Sixshot was really going to kill them. Of course, they weren't killed, and the Reapers allowed the Decepticons to leave in peace. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sixshot}}

Sinnertwin was among the Decepticons living on Cybertron with the Autobots and the [[NAIL]]s after the war had ended. When [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] returned from the wilderness, the Decepticons began rioting in the streets. {{storylink|City on Fire}}
{{-}}

===3H comics===
On [[technorganic]] [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the [[Quintesson]] [[Rexian]] found himself surrounded by a large group of surprisingly non-technorganic robots. They claimed to be Decepticons and explained that they were the stolen sparks [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] had in captivity and that they were also several of the ancient Decepticon warriors who fought in the Great war. However they soon started fighting over which one was [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]]. Eventually the Decepticons decided that whoever can smash the most Sharkticons has ''got'' to be a big-time Decepticon hero like Thundercracker and if it's a tie they'll flip for it (loser can be [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]]), so the competition started. Rexian escaped but was assaulted and killed by a smaller Decepticon who wasn't part of the bigger group and didn't care who was Thundercracker.

Because he was ''certain'' he was Sinnertwin. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

Twinstrike was one of several Terrorcons cloned by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] based on ancient [[CNA]]. When they proved uncontrollable, Shockwave sent Predacons [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] and [[Divebomb (G1)|Divebomb]] to capture them. In the end they recapture the Terrorcons and return them to Shockwave's control. For now. {{storylink|Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Unleash the Beasts}}

:Sinnertwin transforms into a yellow and green [[wikipedia:Orthrus|orthrus]]. He comes with a small pistol for robot mode and a large gun for beast mode. He can form the leg or arm of any Scramble-City type combiner, though he is nominally Abominus' left leg. He can also attach to Metroplex' robot mode.

:Due to a design flaw, the gap in the chest where the head swings down is ''just'' too narrow, and because of this, the head breaks off at the hinge very easily.

:There is a variant of Sinnertwin which does not have the [[rubsign]] indent.

:Sinnertwin was also available in a [[giftset]] with the rest of the Terrorcons.

==Notes==
*Unlike [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gurrr]], whose two heads spoke simultaneously, Sinnertwin's alternate mode in the ''Transformers'' cartoon had two heads that spoke independently of each other and even had two different actors provide the voices. At one point, they even seemed to argue with each other over which head got to kill an Autobot.
