Toys
Beast Hunters
- Twinstrike (Cyberverse Legion, 2013)
- Series / Number: 3 / 002
- Accessories: Piston Hammer
- Part of the first wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Series 3 Cyberverse Legion Class toys, Twinstrike transforms into a twin-headed dragon, and comes with a "Piston Hammer" which can also be used as a cannon. His dragon head hands can hold the weapon via the latter's three 3mm posts, and he and the weapon feature numerous 3mm mounting points.
- His instructions neglect to mention that his feet should be rotated during transformation. Also not called out in the instructions, Twinstrike combines with Cyberverse Hun-Gurrr, Windrazor, Predacon Rippersnapper, and Blight to form Abominus, with Twinstrike forming the left arm.
- Abominus (Giftset, 2013)
- Accessories: Piston Hammer
- Part of the Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising subline imprint, Abominus is a giftset of Cyberverse Hun-Gurrr, Windrazor, Predacon Rippersnapper, Twinstrike, and Blight, slightly redecoed by way of translucent plastic replacing a main color of each character, as well as translucent purple weapons.
- The back of the packaging mistakenly switches their names, resulting in, among others, Hun-Gurr getting Twinstrike's name, and Twinstrike being called "Predacon Rippersnapper".
- This set is a Target exclusive in the United States and Canada, and a Tesco exclusive in the United Kingdom.
- Twinstrike (Deluxe, 2014)
- Accessories: Piston Hammer
- Twinstrike is part of the first wave of 2014 Beast Hunters Deluxes. He is functionally an upsized copy of his Cyberverse toy, though with minor detail differences and the replacement of ball joints with more robust universal joints. As such, his parts count, complexity and articulation are all significantly lower than in previous Deluxes.
Notes
- CAUTION: DRAGON HEAD HANDS
- Twinstrike is an homage to the G1 Terrorcon, Sinnertwin.
- According to Hasbro's Transformers: Prime - Beast Hunters Guide Book, Twinstrike was Predacon experiment #SW81617.
