Collecting cassettes just got a smidge more fucking insane.
TakaraTomy has supplied us with plenty of “WTF?!?!” moments this year and here comes another!!! The Transformers Encore Series is BACK and weirder than ever as it becomes home to Soundblaster and Twincast again. Don’t roll your eyes just yet though, they sure found a way to make you get plastic scratch fever: Soundblaster now comes bearing a never-before-seen BLUE Cassette door much like his Headmasters appearance. THERE’S MORE THOUGH – 4 apparently brand new cassetticons! A red Ratbat, red autobot Ravage, black autobot Steeljaw, and best of all, OFFICIAL TRANSFORMERS ENEMY!!! Enemy is a weird hold-over from the Microman days. The original Frenzy/Rumble mold was released in Microman as a red / blue amalgamation.

No changes to the Twincast mold as far as I can see. I guess that’s why he comes with the batshit crazy cassette repaints.
TFsource put the preorders up just now so check it out now if you must – Soundblaster – Twincast.
