[megatronus]

The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is back as our host ScottyP and motley crew Megatronus and Rotorostorm stumble their way through the Transformers news of the day - including some grainy reveals, vague press releases, and questionable rumors.

Episode #271 “Meh-pisode” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher Radio and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Here's what we discuss in this episode:

• The long rumored Commander Class Rodimus Prime is revealed. Kinda. Sorta... but that's not going to stop us from talking about it.
  
  
  
  
  
• New images of MPM12 Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime are up: it's meh. The cast gets into silly things like design philosophy and line comparisons, all in the service of avoiding the question: are we expecting too much from this toy?
  
  
  
  
  
• Naturally, we transition to prototype images of Masterpiece Skids, who looks amazeballs, and is clearly a deviation from the recent trend of Sunbow accuracy.
  
  
  
  
  
• Two new cartoons have been announced as part of a partnership between Hasbro's eOne and Nickelodeon: Bot Bots and something entirely vague and probably different. Will Hasbro finally achieve total brand awareness??
  
  
  
  
  
• Beast Wars reissues! Beast Wars reissues? Beast Wars reissues.
  
  
  
  
  
• Super7's Transformers Ultimates line has announced waves 2 & 3, with a variety of interesting choices, including Pretenders, Dino-mode Grimlock, and IDW Tarn. Have they piqued our interest? Yes. Yes they have.
  
  
  
  
  
• We end the show as we always do - with a round of bragging rights. What have we all acquired since last time?

I’m pretty sure we did see Optimus Prime on earth with Bumblebee in the Bumblebee movie but it was them talking in a forest at night.

I’m pretty sure we did see Optimus Prime on earth with Bumblebee in the Bumblebee movie but it was them talking in a forest at night.

Between that, the OP message early in the movie and iirc a deleted scene, all the wires get crossed for me when it comes to OP's scenes in that movie. That's probably a good thing since it means I remember it more for its actual plot and characters rather than an Optimus cameo.
