Courtesy of our very own 2005 Boards member Banshee we can share for you our first in-hand images of the recently revealed Transformers Legacy Voyager Metalhawk & Twincast.
To our surprise, both figures have showed up at some specialty stores in Canada. We have clear shots of Metalhawk in both robot and alt mode and good comparison shots next to Kingdom Cyclonus. Metalhawk proves to have his own personality and it’s hard to identify that he shares some parts and engineering with Cyclonus at first sight. Twincast is a nice Kingdom/Legacy Blaster redeco inspired by the G1 Japan character. He comes with his cassettebot partner Rewind which is molded in clear gray plastic.
Not much left to say, so enjoy the mirrored images attached to this news post and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Soundblaster sure took the brunt of the damage in his matchup with Twincast.

Lovely collection and display! And on that note, what kind of cabinet is that? I've been shopping for display case options.

Welcome to the Supreme Commanders Metalhawk! Loving this alot on this Cyclonus retool.
Which gave me a Japanese g1 retcon idea: like Sixshot becoming Greatshot later(from recent retcon), what if Fortress recognized Cyclonus' loyalty to a cause and made hike into the Autobot Metalhawk and honoring his former rival Ultra Magnus. And also taking a jet mode like his former seeker life prior to being remade by Unicron. And what if the Earth was actually going to be destroyed by Devil Z & minions in which Fortress gave Metalhawk & pretenders a mission to time travel to prevent the deception Pretenders from messing with the timeline and to prepare for the battle against Devil Z

Does anyone know the product numbers for Metalhawk?

Despite how dumb using the gun for an antenna is in terms of an "evo-fusion" gimmick, I actually prefer that to the regular storage method in Baster's instructions

Because those figures practically only had that as paint and very little else. Meanwhile Metalhawk has a varied paint scheme and a not insignificant amount of paint apps on him.
I have both Studio Series Sideswipes and Soundwave also. There isn't much paint detailing on them thanks to how much silver is used. Laserbeak himself is just that gray plastic with just eyes painted in and that's it.

Alternate explanation: space guy has Buzz Lightyear syndrome. Needed extra precautions to keep him subdued.
Music man just chillin'.

Compared to Blaster:
– it is not possible to have a tie across the chest, because of wings complicating things. They remediated with two ties above and below the intended one;
– it not possible to have a single tie across the legs, because of… wings complicating things. In this case, it's the winglets attached to the calves. As before, two ties are replacing the intended one.

Metalhawk has 5 twine ties to secure him to the box. Yes, 5. Hasbro taking extra precaution.

Highly recommended
