Twinferno

This article is about the Aligned Autobot. For the Generation 1 Autobot sometimes called Twinferno, see Doublecross.

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.

Double the awesome in half the volume. That's, like, four times as awesome!

• Autobot Twinferno (Legion Class, 2017)

Part of the thirteenth wave of Legion Class figures, 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.

"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: Flame decorations (2)

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 5mm posts. There are also 5mm peg 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 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.

Notes

• Twinferno is an obvious homage to Generation 1 Doublecross, yet is presumably not named "Doublecross" for trademark reasons.
• His name is glorious. Eat your heart out Slayride!
• It is definitely strange that we got two toys of a character who didn't appear on the show, given that many show characters never got toys.
