Sinnertwin (G1)
| This article is about the evil Decepticon Terrorcon. For his heroic mirrorverse counterpart, see Sinnertwin (SG). |
- Sinnertwin is a Decepticon Terrorcon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
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.
- French-Canadian name: Bipêcheur
- Italian name: Bifrontbot

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-electrons. During the battle, he menaced 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 Technobots. Meeting these new opponents, the Terrorcons formed into Abominus and fought the Technobots’ merged form of Computron. Unfortunately for them, the highly intelligent Autobot gestalt defeated Abominus by vibrating, forcing Abominus to separate back into his component Terrorcons. Grimlock's New Brain
He and the other Terrorcons aided the Quintessons 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.

Hun-Gurrr left 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. 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.

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 back in time to 1989, where they became cursorily involved in the conflict with their old commander, 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". Time Wars

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, blasted into stasis lock, and taken off to wherever Crankcase and Gutcruncher dispose of old waste.
And yet, they probably had no regrets. At Fight's End
IDW comics continuity
Sinnertwin is the acting treasurer of the Sixshot fan club. He isn't too good at the job, but he tries harder. He and the other Terrorcons were sent to Mumu-Obscura, but were taken prisoner by the Reapers 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. Spotlight: Sixshot
