Twinstrike (Prime)
From MediaWiki
| This article is about the Beast Hunters Predacon. For the Bot Shot, see Twinstrike (BS). |
- Twinstrike is a Predacon from the Aligned continuity family.
Shockwave had hoped that giving Twinstrike an extra head would result in a higher intelligence stat. Unfortunately, it just doubled the Predacon's violent rage and seething impatience.
Though Twinstrike isn't smart or particularly good at anything, he is amazingly courageous and strong, and his Piston Hammer isn't anything to sneeze at, either.

His dragon head hands can hold the weapon via the latter's multiple 3mm posts, and he and the weapon feature numerous 3mm mounting points.
