Blaster is destroyed in the Japanese The Transformers: Headmasters series during a fight with Soundwave (who also perished in the fight) and rebuilt two episodes later as Twincast, with a blue/white color scheme as opposed to the red/yellow previously.

Aside from the blue/yellow color scheme, the Twincast toy also differs from the Blaster/Broadcast toy in that the tape compartment can hold two cassette Transformers simultaneously. In the United States and Canada, this figure, like all Vintage G1 releases, is exclusive to Walmart. Like nearly half of the toys since Earthrise, Blaster is a victim of photodegradation, as his unpaintable joints are prone to yellowing.
