Sinnertwin (G1)
- 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.

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

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.

- Unlike Hun-Gurrr, whose two heads spoke simultaneously, Sinnertwin's monster alt mode had two heads that spoke independently of each other and even had two different actors provide the voices. At one point, they even seemed to argue with each other over which head got to kill an Autobot.

Sinnertwin transforms into a yellow and green Orthrus. He comes with a small pistol for robot mode and a large gun for beast mode. He can form the leg or arm of any Scramble-City type combiner, and can attach to Metroplex' robot mode.
Due to a design flaw, the gap in the chest where the head swings down is just too narrow, and because of this, the head breaks off at the hinge very easily.
