Blaster calls him "Mini-Me".

• Twin Cast & Autobot Blaster (Leader Class, 2016)

• Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro)

Part of the first wave of Titans Return Leader Class figures, Twin Cast is a Titan Master, a tiny robot that transforms into a head that can attach to any Titans Return-style Deluxe, Voyager, or Leader Class figure. They also feature ports in their feet that allow them to peg onto a wide variety of Titans Return figures and accessories.

Since he's nominally meant to form the head of a Leader Class toy, his head-mode face takes up a considerably larger portion of real estate, with a much smaller top-of-the-skull area. This is so the built-in helmets of Leader-class toys can fit around him and give the big robot more properly-proportioned noggin.

He was only available packaged with Blaster, who he is obviously modeled after.

Twin Cast was redecoed to make Legends Twincast, and was retooled into Titans Return Soundblaster, Legends Soundblaster, and Bumblebee Doombox.

Notes

• Twin Cast is named after Twincast (obviously), Blaster's rebuilt form from The Headmasters. Titans Return Soundblaster follows a similar pattern.
• Twin Cast's head mode is based on Alternators Skids, who was redecoed in Japan as Binaltech Asterisk Broadcast.
