Twincast (06-24-09)
Transformer of the Day for June 24, 2009
TWINCAST
-Faction: Autobot
-Era: Generation One (1984-1992)
-Function: Communications
-Motto: “Takes a Lickin’ and Keeps on Tickin’”
-Notable Toy: Ehobby Exclusive (Takara, 2006)
Notes: Destroyed in an epic battle with Soundwave in the Japanese cartoon continuity, Twincast was literally recasted from the ashes of Blaster. With colours heralding back to one of his original Microchange, he’s an incredible addition to any collection, one that is much more readily attainable thanks to the relatively recent eHobby reissue. In fact, that reissue is the toy in the spotlight here because it brings with it a new character, Flip Sides, an Autobot cassette warrior who is literally a sleeper agent for the Decepticons.
These are so adorable, Diana! You shulod make some with little wires on the back, because I could see hanging them on the wall in a little girl’s bedroom - wouldn’t that be cute? Also, on a Christmas tree! Weeee! I’m with you in busy bee having fun mode.

Laura The 61 on each animal renetsrpes the year the Animals of Africa campaign was introduced (1961). Maybe one of the readers knows what the other number renetsrpes? (Unfortunately I don’t!) However, I do know the 21 animals in the set; they are: baboon, buffalo, cheetah, crocodile, eland, elephant, gemsbok, giraffe, hippo, hyena, impala, kudu, leopard, lion, lioness, rhino, sable, springbok, warthog, wildebeest and zebra. Thanks Phil
