    Can't zoom. Does he have the smirk?

    Nope, couldn't find anything through image search either. Could be fake, but seems real enough to me.

    Damn, Rewind is clear too. (Well, I'm not that disappointed since now I won't be tempted to get a $34 figure for the tiny guy it comes with.) Hopefully they can release a solid black version as a Core-class later on (or better yet, a new-mold Core IDW version).

    For those who don't know- I LOVE Rewind. He's my favorite character, no contest. And I love the Eject mold sooooo this might be my favorite reveal ever? I hope it's real.

    I wish his thighs were white, but he looks pretty sharp. Glad Rewind is in translucent plastic as well, just because of how weird he would look in solid black next to Eject.

    No double tape chest is a bummer after we got it with Soundblaster. Real sharp deco though, might have to pick this up for my Japanese G1 setup.

    did the original twincast have the double tape chest? If he didn't I don't know people would expect it for this one.

    I'm a bit surprised to see the Cyclonus mold for him, but I think it works.

    Only interested for Rewind so hopefully this guy sticks around long enough to go on sale.

    Looks great! Thrilled he has the smirking mouth (even if it makes my variant Blaster a little less special now!) for a different look, just a bit disappointed he doesn’t have the remolded chest to hold 2 cassettes.

    Not a dealbreaker by any means, but I always liked that as a further way for Twincast / Soundblaster to differentiate themselves from their earlier Blaster / Soundwave selves.

    Also think the heads were ‘swapped’ too, Twincast was always more stoic / ‘serious’, whereas Blaster’s smirk is directly taken from when he’s in the crow’s nest tower in Transformers the Movie.
