I think the scale between Soundwave and Blaster is pretty accurate. In the show and I believe the comics, Blaster is actually shown to be a bit taller than Soundwave.
In the original story from Headmasters Twincast and Sound Wave got blown up so only their heads remained. The Headmasters from planet Master were able to build new bodies for them and with those new bodies came with the new names.
The colours is kinda growing on me as it's like a sporty theme you see on Adidas, Puma or Reebok etc! Granted I can easily buy Blaster for £15 over here in the UK!
Fantastic review PrimeVsPrime!!! I have been waiting for years for a modern day Twincast figure, and this repaint of the Kingdom Blaster figure is beyond impressive, worth the long wait. :D Keep on being amazing.
Here's hoping we get a Gen Selects (or whatever they're calling it now) four pack of cassettes, featuring Eject, Rewind, Ramhorn and Steeljaw. Even better would be them remolded in solid plastic.
That is NOT a Shockwave experiment... Twincast was the rebuilt Blaster from Transformers Headmasters after he and Soundwave killed each other in a duel. Blaster was rebuilt into Twincast and Soundwave was rebuilt into Soundblaster.
To be honest, I have this in my list. Not only I skipped Kingdom Blaster, but I want to reunite a main scale collection of all the Lost Light crew, which means this is the perfect chance to get a Rewind
Not even upset by it not having room for 2 Cassettebots. Finally can get a version of this guy. Already got TR Leader Blaster, nice to finally get a Twincast. We need more obscure characters getting their due, less gimmick toys of the same few Core Characters.
idk where that Decepticon clone story comes from, but Twincast was the rebuilt form of Blaster from Transformers: The Headmasters after both he and Soundwave killed each other in battle (with Soundwave being rebuilt into Soundblaster)
just got him and i love it! after months of search for any cassette player Transformers, i found this. paid 40$ but definitely worth it. i also wish there was more mini-casettes though.
If you’re a fan of the Japanese G1 Headmasters you will pick this up in a heartbeat if not I could see why this is a pass. I have Blaster and the Decepticon Sound Blaster so to have Twincast in the collection will be awesome.
Twincast look amazing. I never knew that Shockwave cloning this robot 🤖 that supposed to be as Decepticon, however, unfortunately Twincast become as Autobot similar to his original counterpart, Blaster. I love the reverse transformation because this segment does help me to remember to transform my Transformers figure turn into robot mode and alt mode 😁. For Rewind, i love Rewind in Shattered Glass version. Yeah, Hasbro and Takara Tomy should be give us Steeljaw and Ramhorn 🦏, not give us another Rewind 😅. I still choose Blaster because each area on Blaster it's always painting 🎨🖌️ compared to Twincast some area is not painting, so terrible. However, i try my best to pick up this clone in near future rather than later, great video, PrimevsPrime 🤗.
In The Headmasters anime (part of the Japanese G1 cartoon continuity), Twincast was a rebuilt Blaster rather than a failed clone of Blaster, due to Blaster and Soundwave having a battle that costed their lives, causing Soundwave to be rebuilt into Soundblaster and Blaster be rebuilt into Twincast. However, he is a good figure despite his flaws.
Twincast is the regenerated/repaired Blaster after his final battle with Soundwave in the Japanese Headmasters. That ended in a stalemate. Soundwave became Soundblaster, and again, Blaster became Twincast.
Twincast is just Blaster upgraded. In the Headmasters anime, he and Soundwave had a battle that destroyed them both, leading to each of them being revived and upgraded/recolored.
You know me bro cassettes equal must have always for me lol. I'm enjoying this recolor but we need MORE cassettes. I only have 40 wfc sized cassettes lol good review man.
The poses you can make are amazing, no matter how much the transformers community complains about articulation we can still, (to an extent) get some pretty incredible poses out of them that far differentiates them from regular toys. Great review as always PvP!!!
Absolutely adore this mold for Blaster in G1 accurate it is. Missed the Kingdom release but ordered the Legacy as it's about as good an update as Blaster has ever gotten. Twincast is a really nice repaint though I know next to nothing about the Headmasters timeline. Definitely would get on a deep discount but for now I'm good with the solitary Blaster.
In Japanese headmaster series twincast is the reborn version of blaster after his legendary battle with soundwave. Blaster here like optimus prime had suffered heavy injuries, but in this case soundwave is blown up in pieces.
I'll be picking this up as I have a big Headmaster shelf with Soundblaster on italready, but I think some fans would be upset if they gated access to his other cassettes behind buying an obscure redeco of Blaster that they would otherwise pass on. His other cassettes are probably better reserved for core class releases.
Twin cast is actually a rebuilt version of blaster after his death in the Japanese version of the G1 cartoon. Soundwave also dies in their final battle to be rebuilt into Sound Blaster. I’ll be perfectly honest I much prefer Sound Blaster being a different character, separate from Soundwave. I personally like to say that Twincaster is the brother of Blaster who looks like him but has a slightly different personality. Xx
Its been awhile and I want to know if the white plastic on your copy has yellowed yet?.. the white plastic has me kinda concerned about picking up a copy
Hi. I noticed that Twincast has wrist-locking tabs, but the others do not, so their wrists can easily collapse into the forearm cavity. Can anyone else confirm this?
Actually twincast is from the headmaster line where soundwave and blaster pretty much kill each other ala prime and megatron then blaster get rebuild as twincast and soundwave get rebuild into soundblaster
I've already got Blaster and love him. He's a fantastic figure. I'm not a fan of recolors (except for seekers) unless I like the character, and I have no such connection to Twincast. I do like the headsculpt, with the smirk and slight expression in the eyes. I'll pass on him though. I, like PvP and others, really do hope they release a new Soundwave. I'm not paying for that Netflix version and we deserve plastic that won't discolor so badly.
I don't get why they feel the need to recontextualize Soundblaster and Twincast as clones rather than the rebuilt forms of Soundwave and Blaster, what's to gain from that?
Shame he cant hold 2 cassettes like the original. Also would have been awesome if theyd given us steeljaw with the special sticker that revealed skorpinoks weak spot
I really like the colours, but the yellow on the face is throwing me off a bit. I think it would look betternif the face was white or silver, or that there was more yellow around the arms and legs, becouse it looks a bit strange to just have all of the yellow gathered so closelly together. Other than that, um reslly digging him
I’m not gonna pick this up even though it may look a bit better than blaster because I don’t really want to buy another voyager that’s just a repaint and minor remold but maybe if it’s on sale
Hasbro being lazy again when it comes to Blaster/Twincast...the original they barely did anything about the cassettes yet Soundwave had all 4 of his main ones available in separate packs. Rumble getting a SS86 release too! Aside from Rewind, I have no interest in this figure, not a fan of the blue deco and yellow face.
I just wish there's going to be SS86 leader class blaster and soundwave with having all their cassettes Or they could just sell core class blaster's cassettes like soundwave's
Twincast and Soundblaster are the remade versions of Blaster and Soundwave after they died killing each other
But Soundblaster was released only (for now) as a Core Class
@@varonman7283Soundblaster was already released in Siege.
Thanks Mr Obvious.
@@SuperMookles 🤣🤣
He is a clone in the Dreamwave comics. In the Headmasters cartoon he's the rebuilt form of Blaster
I think the scale between Soundwave and Blaster is pretty accurate. In the show and I believe the comics, Blaster is actually shown to be a bit taller than Soundwave.
Probably because the original blaster figure was huge
i thought the same..
always felt like Blaster was taller.
Almost the same as Optimus Prime.
@@goatintuxedo2206 hell, in toy scale, blaster absolutely towers Optimus
So excited for Rewind! My poor Chromedome has been so lonely.
Rewind matches his original G1 colors.
In the original story from Headmasters Twincast and Sound Wave got blown up so only their heads remained. The Headmasters from planet Master were able to build new bodies for them and with those new bodies came with the new names.

my rewind’s joints cracked n broke like 2 months after i got blaster, so both his arms just fall off at slight touch. I love clear plastic!!!!
@@kaboomerty1638 Clear plastic looks cool but should never be used on moving parts.
That is NOT a Shockwave experiment... Twincast was the rebuilt Blaster from Transformers Headmasters after he and Soundwave killed each other in a duel. Blaster was rebuilt into Twincast and Soundwave was rebuilt into Soundblaster.
Actually it depends on the continuity in Headmasters he is a reborn Blaster in some of the comics Twincast IS a Shockwave experiment
He is a clone in the Dreamwave comics. In the Headmasters cartoon he's the rebuilt form of Blaster
To be honest, I have this in my list. Not only I skipped Kingdom Blaster, but I want to reunite a main scale collection of all the Lost Light crew, which means this is the perfect chance to get a Rewind
Love the reverse transformations sequences. Keep it up!
Love the reverse transformation segment, helps a lot
If they had to make up an evo fusion gimmick; I think having rewind fit in the chest compartment would of made a more plausible one
Not even upset by it not having room for 2 Cassettebots.
Finally can get a version of this guy. Already got TR Leader Blaster, nice to finally get a Twincast.
We need more obscure characters getting their due, less gimmick toys of the same few Core Characters.
Absolutely love the reverse transformation segment you have becone my main source of transforming my own collection please keep them going
Beautiful repaint of already a great mold
Your intros are always great
He's doing the dreamworks face
Why wasn’t Soundblaster in the video, they were arch enemies 😭😭😭
cuz the video would have been double length.
pretty sure it was covered in another video.
Love the reverse transformation as well. Would like it to be a regular feature
im not a fan of Twincast's colours. but i still want to get him for Rewind.
Yup, im going to get it for rewind and sell twincast
i wish they would release a pack for the cassettes as well
Really?
@@b-retrogamer2324 yeah, so you can pare Rewind with Chromedome
twincast reused blaster original blue diaclone toy color
It’s basically after heavy damaged from Soundwave now Soundblaster.
He is a clone in the Dreamwave comics. In the Headmasters cartoon he's the rebuilt form of Blaster
Love the reverse-transformation. I think that would be especially helpful on the MP-scale figures, even though that might be a hassle to film.
Legacy Evolution Twincast looks terrific.
Fun fact, Soundwave is actually supposed to be about a head shorter than Blaster.
The "Evo-Fusion" "gimmick" for this guy is that the gun acts like an antenna that you would see on boom boxes, which is kinda neat!
Jazz would be jammin with this guy.
I hope we see blaster/twincast minions in the 86 line
I really like the new headsculpt and colors👌
Can't wait for 86 Blaster and Soundwave
This is absolutely incredible!
idk where that Decepticon clone story comes from, but Twincast was the rebuilt form of Blaster from Transformers: The Headmasters after both he and Soundwave killed each other in battle (with Soundwave being rebuilt into Soundblaster)
He’s not a Clone, he’s a rebuilt Blaster
He is a clone in the Dreamwave comics. In the Headmasters cartoon he's the rebuilt form of Blaster
Good job man can’t wait to get him👍 , do prowl next, we know you already have him because you teased him a while ago lol 😁
just got him and i love it!
after months of search for any cassette player Transformers, i found this.
paid 40$ but definitely worth it.

Already pre-ordered him. Got Kingdom Blaster and Shattered Glass Blaster, so it's only right 😁
The sound you made after "EVO Fusion Capability" made me LMAO

Yes
Started rewatching the Japanese Headmasters series so to see Twincast figure is awesome timing.
Twincast is the regenerated/repaired Blaster after his final battle with Soundwave in the Japanese Headmasters. That ended in a stalemate. Soundwave became Soundblaster, and again, Blaster became Twincast.
Hey Prime, do u know when the RoTB tv spot is coming out
Twincast is just Blaster upgraded. In the Headmasters anime, he and Soundwave had a battle that destroyed them both, leading to each of them being revived and upgraded/recolored.
Reverse Transformation FTW!
Amazing recolor of a Great figure!
Found him and metalhawk at Walmart here in the USA 2 days ago … guess distribution is getting better
Im gonna buy him!!
You know me bro cassettes equal must have always for me lol. I'm enjoying this recolor but we need MORE cassettes. I only have 40 wfc sized cassettes lol good review man.

Yknow honestly I’m not fond of twincast but jeez I need Rewind
Congratulations about Transformers Legacy Voyager Class Twin Cast and Rewind Accurate Figure Toy
Twincast & rewind review looks like a radio boombox cassette player deck. The transformation to robot mode from boombox mode.
I’m sticking with the Japanese season four Headmasters for Twincast’s backstory. The Shockwave clone was a single panel cameo in a Dreamwave comic.
I might get this figure PrimevsPrime but idk man
Absolutely adore this mold for Blaster in G1 accurate it is. Missed the Kingdom release but ordered the Legacy as it's about as good an update as Blaster has ever gotten. Twincast is a really nice repaint though I know next to nothing about the Headmasters timeline. Definitely would get on a deep discount but for now I'm good with the solitary Blaster.
Now we need Rosanna and flip sides from the eject mold
“Evo-fusion” hahahaha. Ya, right 😂😂😂
We need a mainline 86 Soundwave in my opinion. It would especially make sense because we've already gotten the 86 Rumble.
In Japanese headmaster series twincast is the reborn version of blaster after his legendary battle with soundwave. Blaster here like optimus prime had suffered heavy injuries, but in this case soundwave is blown up in pieces.
He is also called billy
@@prithvishyamalan824 please don't remind of the English dub. It's mankinds worst atrocity
Rewind is supposed to be colored black. That a lot like his g1 which I love. The only reason I bought twincast is to have rewind for my blaster.
I'm getting him for Chromedome's bf .
I'll be picking this up as I have a big Headmaster shelf with Soundblaster on italready, but I think some fans would be upset if they gated access to his other cassettes behind buying an obscure redeco of Blaster that they would otherwise pass on. His other cassettes are probably better reserved for core class releases.
Tom Jones quoting Think I'd better dance now...

As for a fourth use of the mold, I’d go with Toaster who would be a purple repaint. He’s super obscure though so check the TFWiki.
Who wants a repaint of Blaster for an actual boombox version of Soundwave?
@PrimeVsPrime thank you for your wonderful review. Question: Does the shattered glass has the same plastic quality as Twincast?
The blue cassette that came with blaster is actually eject. The black one is rewind
Its been awhile and I want to know if the white plastic on your copy has yellowed yet?.. the white plastic has me kinda concerned about picking up a copy
Man I would love an 86 version of sound wave
Do you have another core class Dinobot coming anytime soon?
This review is booming!
What shockwave was that in the intro? I want it
Hi. I noticed that Twincast has wrist-locking tabs, but the others do not, so their wrists can easily collapse into the forearm cavity.
Can anyone else confirm this?
Shattered glass eject all day
I always just saw Twincast as Blaster wearing Soundwave's colors. Not to say I hate it though.
Actually twincast is from the headmaster line where soundwave and blaster pretty much kill each other ala prime and megatron then blaster get rebuild as twincast and soundwave get rebuild into soundblaster
BETTER THAN BLASTAR😀 in my opinion i like the blue!
im only gonna get it for rewind

Awsome figure 🔥❤🔥🐈
So *Rewind* can _not fit_ into the deck when *Twincast* is in alternate mode? 🤔
Personally I thought thismis what blaster would look like as a decepticon and reverse transformation section yes yes one thousand times yes
I might just get Twincast for the rewind 🤷🏻
Crazy thing I have all three of them 😂
Just picked up this figure yesterday at a Ross for 15 bucks
I don't get why they feel the need to recontextualize Soundblaster and Twincast as clones rather than the rebuilt forms of Soundwave and Blaster, what's to gain from that?
So, are we ever getting a Soundblaster from the new Soundwave mold?
What new soundwave mold?
@@DisasterEnby Think he's talking about Netflix WFC Soundwave mold
@@DisasterEnby Netflix Soundwave
@@tsu_kiyomi that mold's not new, though
@@DisasterEnby I guess. I’d still prefer a Soundblaster from that mold.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Remember when Transformers had actual gimmicks to sell the figures. This whole Evo Fusion really blows tailpipe.
Shame he cant hold 2 cassettes like the original. Also would have been awesome if theyd given us steeljaw with the special sticker that revealed skorpinoks weak spot

Legacy Evolution Plastic Quality is WORSE than Kingdom?!?!?! How many more waves before they shatter like glass for real?!?!?!
Has PrimeVsPrime never seen the Japanese Headmasters series? Twincast is Blaster reformatted after being killed by Soundwave.
I’m not gonna pick this up even though it may look a bit better than blaster because I don’t really want to buy another voyager that’s just a repaint and minor remold but maybe if it’s on sale

1:38 no in transformers the headmasters blaster had a brutul fight with soundwave and both died and got revived as twincast and soundblaster
