[edit]
- Twin Cast & Autobot Blaster (Leader Class, 2016)
- Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro)
- Part of the first wave of Titans Return Leader Class figures, Twin Cast is a Titan Master, a tiny robot that transforms into a head that can attach to any Titans Return-style Deluxe, Voyager, or Leader Class figure. They also feature ports in their feet that allow them to peg onto a wide variety of Titans Return figures and accessories.
- Since he's nominally meant to form the head of a Leader Class toy, his head-mode face takes up a considerably larger portion of real estate, with a much smaller top-of-the-skull area. This is so the built-in helmets of Leader-class toys can fit around him and give the big robot more properly-proportioned noggin.
- He was only available packaged with Blaster, who he is obviously modeled after.
- Twin Cast was redecoed to make Legends Twincast, and was retooled into Titans Return Soundblaster, Legends Soundblaster, and Bumblebee Doombox.
Notes
[edit]- Twin Cast is named after Twincast (obviously), Blaster's rebuilt form from The Headmasters. Titans Return Soundblaster follows a similar pattern.
- Twin Cast's head mode is based on Alternators Skids, who was redecoed in Japan as Binaltech Asterisk Broadcast.
