The original Twincast toy was repurposed as a clone of Blaster.
- For this Japanese-exclusive release, the first Blaster toy was redecoed into a rather cacophonous new blue, yellow, and red color scheme. Like his contemporary redeco Soundblaster, his chest door was retooled in order to accommodate two cassettes at once, and changed from colorless clear plastic to translucent red as part of a gimmick with his pack-in partner, Steeljaw. This version of Steeljaw sports a new decal depicting Scorponok, which reveals the Decepticon's weak spot when placed behind Twincast's red door, working in the same manner as a Tech Specs decoder.
- In 2006, Twincast was reissued as an e-HOBBY exclusive, this time packaged with the new character Flip Sides.
