Titans Return

Mortal enemy of the Human Torch.

• Flameout & Twin Twist (Deluxe Class, 2017)

• Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro), Mark Maher (deco artist)

Flameout is packaged with Twin Twist, part of the fifth wave of Titans Return Deluxe figures. He is a retool of Freezeout and transforms from a robot into Twin Twists's head, and can fit into the neck socket of any other Titans Return Deluxe-or-larger figure.

This figure was redecoed into the Headmaster stage of Legends Twin Twist as well as the unnamed headmaster of Legacy "Diaclone Universe Twin Twist". It was also retooled into the Headmaster stage of Legends Roadfire.

Legacy

• Diaclone Universe Twin Twist (Deluxe Class, 2022)

• Known designers: John Warden, Mark Maher (deco artist), Evan Brooks (deco artist)

Released in Legacy as part of the Amazon-exclusive Wreck N' Rule Collection, this version of "Diaclone Universe Twin Twist" is a redeco of the Titans Return toy in a Diaclone-inspired color scheme (duh). All the accessories and features are the same as in the Titans Return release. Sadly, the "Headmaster" module redecoed from Flameout is not called out by name, but we will mention it on this page as Freezeout's analagous release strongly implies the Jumpstarter quartet retain their Titans Return identities and there is not actually proof of it being anyone other than Flameout.

Transformers Trading Card Game

• Flameout (2020)
  • Wave 5: Titan Masters Attack
  • Rarity: UT
  • Card Number: T21/T46
  • Stars: 3

Flameout is one of forty-six double sided character cards included in Wave 5 of the Transformers Trading Card Game, Titan Masters Attack. As a Titan Master, Flameout begins play in head mode on a character with a body mode. When that character is KO'd, Flameout is deployed in bot mode. In order to represent Flameout's size as a Titan Master, the card is the size of a battle card, about half the size of a normal character card.

The card's art is based on the Flameout Titan Master included with the Titans Return Twin Twist toy. The head mode artwork is reused from said toy's packaging artwork.

This card's set was originally set for an April 2020 release, however due to the global COVID-19 pandemic the release was pushed back to May 29, 2020.

Notes

• Flameout thematically mirrors Freezeout, Topspin's partner.
