Doubleheader

Doubleheader is an Autobot Pretender from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Two heads are better than one...I think.

Some warriors, even the most seasoned veterans, have been known to collapse under pressure. Doubleheader, however, has developed a unique solution to that particular dilemma: divvy up the duties with a second noggin. His right head sees, smells and overall analyzes his surroundings, while his left head listens, speaks and makes all the decisions. By dividing his workload between two separate heads, Doubleheader always remains cool and collected in the tightest situations.

He also likes to burn things.

Fiction

Marvel Comics continuity

Doubleheader was stationed on Cybertron, working out of Autobase under Emirate Xaaron's command. He oversaw the repairs to the trans-dimensional portal which had been damaged when the Mayhem Attack Squad ambushed Bumblebee's Pretenders at their headquarters. Primal Scream

Later, he accompanied Pincher and Longtooth on the Matrix Quest, which took them to a harbor on Gottlieb. Hearing about the supposedly miraculous resurrection of the last of a race of whale-like creatures known as the Klud, Doubleheader (and Doubleheader) believed it could be a sign of the Matrix's life-giving properties at work. During the search, however, the Klud crippled Longtooth, which drove him into a killing-frenzy to find the beast and exact his evenge on it. Pincher and Doubleheader chased after their deranged comrade, but were intercepted by a new group of Mayhems, who were trying to get to the Matrix before them. Doubleheader held off the Decepticon flyers -- Needlenose and Spinister -- while Pincher attempted to reason with Longtooth. After determining the Matrix itself was long gone, the Mayhems pulled out, and Longtooth ultimately left the Klud alive. Deadly Obsession

In an alternate future 2009, Doubleheader was one of the Autobots withdrawing from Cybertron to Earth. He was shot down by a Unicron-possessed Rodimus Prime. The Void! (UK)

Doubleheader's inner robot transforms into a Cybertronic twin-cockpit jet. When folded up into his Pretender shell, the red wing-section of the jet forms a jetpack for the shell. Even though he has two heads on his shell, the helmets for said heads are a single piece.
