Title:
Twincast With Eject
Description:
Twincast & Autobot Rewind (Voyager Class, 2023)
Accessory: Electro-Scrambler rifle
Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro)
Legacy: Evolution Voyager Class Twincast is a redeco and new-head retool of the Kingdom Voyager Blaster as the character’s revived form from The Headmasters. He still includes a cassette bot partner, this time being Rewind—who is similarly cast in translucent plastic. He also includes an electro-scrambler rifle, which is the same black coloration included with Blaster and not a toy-accurate red. Unfortunately, unlike the original toy above, his namesakes’ cartoon appearance and the Siege/Generations Selects Soundblaster, Twincast doesn’t feature a retooled larger cassette door to house more than one cassette.
In a revolutionary move, Twincast’s Evo-Fusion ability is… putting the rifle on the back of his radio mode. Notably, this does not use the special tab originally designed to store the rifle, but rather one of the 5 mm ports on the back, perhaps intended to replicate the look of a radio antenna.
Ben MacCrae introduced Twincast in his Hasbro Pulse stream reveal as "a clone that didn’t work out so well for Shockwave as planned.” So he’d be this article’s topic, right? Right? Look, BMac said it.
Twincast became available at Canadian retail in early February 2023, less than a week after his initial reveal.
