Did they ever release Twincast as an original G1 toy, or is the E-hobby one the only one ever released. I know they made a Soundblaster originally.

Soundblaster had a toy in Japan but Twincast did not.

Thanks. I wonder why they would release one and not the other?

Actually you are wrong, Twincast DID INDEED get released in Japan in 1987.

It is. I saw go on Ebay for big money a while back.

I have the E-Hobby Twincast, great figure.

The E-Hobby release has made it a little easier for people to own one.

I've got the Ehobby Twincast also. Does anyone know why he has an Autobot rubsign or is mine an error?

He is an Autobot.

It's the packaging that is the error.

Ok, but Flipsides is a Decepticon. How is Twincast an Autobot but his cassette minion is a Deception?

Flipsides is supposed to be a sleeper agent.
