Twincast transforms from a radio cassette recorder to a robot, and Rewind transforms from a cassette tape to a humanoid robot. The chest grew larger when Blaster powered up into Twincast and is recreated with new parts. Rewind in cassette mode stores inside. The set costs 27,500 yen and is scheduled for late May 2027.","whyItMatters":"The set ties Twincast and Rewind to the separately sold MPG-24 and MPG-25 releases, so the line's buyers are being asked to assemble a Headmasters and 2010 display across four purchases rather than one.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eTwincast is the communications officer who was powered up and revived from Blaster in the anime Fight!
