Doublecross, or as he is known of late, Twinferno, has been getting a bit of buzz with the announcement of his impending Japanese release in the Transformers Legends line, so here is a photoshoot of the double-dragonbot!
Twinferno is a leftfield choice for the Titans Return line, but we’re not complaining. Both robot and dragon modes are very cool updates of the original’s design, which benefit from the increased molded detail a modern Transformer offers while staying faithful to the look of the original. He’s by no means perfect – there are problems with getting the dragon mode legs to lock in, the robot mode arms could really have done with a wrist swivel, and the 5mm ports for the guns on the “hands” are way too tight and stressed when putting the guns in. But in spite of these flaws, Twinstrike comes out with a cool look, solid poseability, and a nice choice outside of the obvious candidates for the line. Shoutout also goes to the inclusion of the Battle Beast White Lion for the Headmaster figure – a nice nod to Doublecross’ appearance in the Japanese Headmasters series.

I liked twinferno. He's a nice figure. Robot mode is where its at and having dragon heads for hands is cool.
Must have a hard time opening anything with those hands though lol.

It's nice to finally have a modern toy of Twinferno. I think he is a really solid figure. I love his double headed dragon mode. I also love how the titan master is referencing White Leo from Headmasters. It makes me wish that Hasbro or Takara will make modern toys of the Battle Beasts. I'd say that Twinferno is one of the most inspired toys in Titans Return so far.

Yes, I find it isn't intuitive that is how it is meant to go, but once they are in it holds together great. Not the easiest to get it to peg in, granted.

Mine tab in so solidly that it almost feels like they shouldn't be able to tab there. But they do and are rock solid once clipped in.

Thanks to both of you I was able to find the tab and now Doublecross legs aren't a flimsy mess anymore.

Not very well, though.

They do tab in dragon mode. There is a slot in the grey shin piece that tabs in the torso.

I don't think so.

I got a question, how are his dragon legs supposed to tab in I haven't managed to do it yet.

I love this character so damn much , love the nods to planet beast / Beast masters ect ….. Now I need to buy DOUBLECROSS again to bring all that MONSTERBOT goodness come flashing back

Far from perfect but I love this dude to bits. Just hope his teammates get proper updates as well.

It's also at least a hundred dollars and looks 'roided out. Not to mention it isn't Twinferno or Doublecross; it's Feilong.

Do yourself a favour and get the Fanshobby Doublecross, it's great and looks way better than this.

Can his dragon arms hold his guns?

I really can't stand the Twinferno name… like it's trying a little too hard to be clever (plus awkwardly close to Inferno who's a more iconic character…) and I liked that Double Cross was kinda his personality as well as his name.
Great gallery as always!!! Surprised how much better I feel the G1 dragon looks.
Sol Fury
He's Doublecross to me. Forever.

Twinferno, guys. Not Twinstrike. Excellent gallery though and an awesome figure.

Since it's all about dragons lately – and dragons with more than one head, no less – here is a photoshoot of the Titans Return version of Doublecross, or as he goes by these days, Twinferno.
