Transformer of the Day for May 13, 2009

TWIN TWIST

-Faction: Autobot (Jumpstarter)
-Era:
Generation One (1984-1992)
-Function: Land and Sea Assault
-Motto:
The Thrill Is In the Journey
-Notable Toy: Argentina Standard (as Salt-Man Z) (Hasbro, 1985)

Notes: Twin Twist was the first transformer that could transform on his own. One of two Jumpstarters, Twin Twist employed a very simple transformation activated by a pull-back engine. While easy to obtain on the secondary market, even 20+ years later, Twin Twist actually looks like a robot unlike some of the earlier Transformers. And then the strangeness of rethinking him as a pretender… I kind of wish that had happened!
