Encore 22 Twincast (MISB), Transformers by Hasbro
For long-time Transformers enthusiasts and collectors of Japanese G1 lore, Takara Tomy’s Transformers Encore #22 Twincast set represents a rare and celebrated piece of history. Originating from The Headmasters anime continuity, this release pays tribute to one of the franchise’s most intriguing arcs—Blaster’s dramatic resurrection as Twincast—and brings it vividly to life with impeccable detail and faithful recreations.
Twincast: A Hero Reborn
In the Japanese Headmasters series, the beloved Autobot Blaster sustained grievous damage during fierce combat. Rather than fade into legend, he emerged anew as Twincast, donning an updated blue and yellow color scheme that set him apart from his earlier form. This Encore figure captures his distinctive look, complete with the vintage, boxy cassette-deck body style that defined the original G1 era. Every detail—from the crisp faction insignia to the tactile cassette compartment—evokes nostalgia and authenticity.
Nightstalker & Stripes: Exclusive Cassette Allies
Accompanying Twincast are two elusive cassette partners: Nightstalker and Stripes.
• Nightstalker: Modeled as a sleek, panther-like ally, Nightstalker carries the stealth and agility of a dedicated scout. Its intricate design and solid black finish bring a formidable presence to your display, while its transformation into a cassette perfectly complements Twincast’s tape-deck functionality.
• Stripes: Distinguished by a bold, vibrant hue, Stripes shares similarities with classic Autobot cassette warriors, channeling their fierce loyalty and combative spirit. Its transformation is both intuitive and reminiscent of the era’s hallmark engineering.
Encore Quality & Presentation
The Takara Tomy Encore line is renowned for its commitment to faithful reproductions and careful enhancements of classic molds. In this set, Twincast and his cassette cohorts benefit from crisp paint applications, top-tier materials, and packaging that evokes the look and feel of the 1980s toyline. The result is a collector’s item that merges the essence of the vintage original with the precision and quality expected by modern aficionados.
A Definitive Addition to Your Collection
For fans who cherish the extended Japanese G1 storyline or those aiming to complete their Autobot cassette roster, Twincast with Nightstalker and Stripes stands as a must-have treasure. It is more than a figure set; it’s a tangible link to the rich narrative tapestry and design ingenuity that defined the golden age of Transformers.
