Who's got The Touch? You've gotta touch the dowload button for episode 340 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast! Host Scotty P is joined by Megatronus, Mr. Starscream, Kuhlio, and Aaarnhide19 to talk all about everyone's favorite blowhole Titan Class Tidal Wave as well as box car Wheeljack. Haslab Deathsaurus, however, leaves no room for speculation now that he is in the hands of collectors. If Legacy Jhiaxus is an A and Shadowstriker is an F, this guy is off the grading scale altogether.
Episode #340 “Victory Lap” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts 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:
Tidal Wave. Tidal Wave. Tidal Wave was showcased as the Titan Class figure for Legacy United.
Recently revealed Cybertronian mode Wheeljack completes the pairing with Origins Bumblebee!
A leaked listing of a possible Studio Series 86 Commander class Optimus Prime calls for much speculation.
Haslab Deathsaurus is finally here! The crew shares their thoughts now with the figure in hand.
Transformers Issue #3 is out from Skybound. SPOILERS are abound as the issue is briefly discussed.
The Machine Wars and the Beast Wars are in full gear in this week's 1997 episode of the 40 for 40 segment.

Here's what we discuss in this episode:
PulseCon 2023 reveals are upon us - while not all of us were able to watch the stream live, you can catch the replay embedded in Seibertron's coverage here:
We pass judgement on the surprise art-based reveal of Commander Magmatron and not-so-surprising reveal of Titan Ark... I mean Tidal Wave.
We pass judgement on the product reveals. Animated Universe Optimus Prime? Oh yea. Beast Wars Tigerhawk. Bring it on. Rescue Bots Chase? Laser beams shooting out of our eyes. Rock Lords? Feed them to the sharkticons.
We pass judgement on the year: 1991. 40 for 40 continues, and the crew selects their favorite toy from this relatively sparse year, with some crew-members using the "it was re-released in Europe that year!" workaround.
We pass judgement on the new toys we've bought, as we wrap up with a round of bragging rights.

Here's what we discuss in this episode:
HasLab watch: as of our recording, Victory Saber has surpassed 9000 backers. We discuss the likely trajectory from here out, and the strong possibility of unlocking all tiers, including the accidentally revealed shield.
Leak Lists: Retailer Exclusives, Beast Wars Reissues, RED, Shattered Glass, Generations Selects, Legacy, and Studio Series, to name a few. We sift through and point out the notable characters we're most excited about.
Two Target exclusives have gone up for preorder: Kingdom Road Rage and Crossover Universal Monsters Draculus. We're oddly into Draculus and the possibility of additional Universal Crossovers. Draculus is sold out, but Road Rage is available here.
"Classics Retrospective" continues. This time we're looking at 2011 and 2012, up until Botcon 2012. That includes Reveal the Shield, ongoing Generations releases, and the weird, tail end of United - and even the stray exclusives such as United Target Masters, Million Publishing Stepper, and Amazon's 25th Anniversary Unicron. We have our favorites.
Bragging rights! What has everyone gotten since last time?

BLAM! KAPOW! ZOWIE! Next up in our new galleries featuring the upcoming Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom toy line is none other than WFC-K6 Warpath.
This deluxe class action figure of Warpath is the most G1 cartoon accurate version of this character to date that also mixes in some design elements from his G1 toy. Warpath even has a new shield accessory that forms the front underbelly of his tank mode. Don't forget to get this piece out from the backside of his interior packaging when you remove the toy from its packaging.
This massive gallery also features many comparison pics with other prominent versions of Warpath from his Takara United toy to even his Bot Shots toy. In addition, there are many pics comparing him with the rest of Kingdom Wave 1.
Warpath, along with the rest of the Kingdom toy line, is due to hit retail stores in the near future. Will you be adding him to your collection? After you finish checking out his full gallery by clicking any of the sample images below, make sure to stop by our forums to let us know what you think of this new version of Autobot warrior Warpath.
The battle heats up as the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast returns with another round of temporarily weekly musings on all things Transformers. This week, Cobotron, Megatronus, Rotorstorm and Scotty P catch up on Cyberverse's TV show, new toy acquisitions and some of your burning questions. Get ready for kid appeal characters, wishful thinking and a whole bundle of Repugnuses.
Things finish off with time for Bragging Rights - and somehow, another Armada Inferno update.
Stay tuned next week as we bring you another episode that might be more of the usual bi-weekly length.

Hi Jim. Thank you for taking time to answer some questions for the staff of Seibertron.com in which we thought our users might be interested regarding your upcoming book Transformers: A Visual History, which is scheduled to come out on November 12th, 2019. You can pre-order Transformers: A Visual History on Amazon.com or by clicking on any of the images below. Without further ado, let's jump right in!
Seibertron.com: Are there any pieces featured in A Visual History that were brand new to you even after all your years of deep curation and involvement with Transformers?
Jim Sorenson: Oh, absolutely. That's part of the joy of a project like this one. Much of the production artwork from Chapter 5, “The Films,” is from deep in the vaults. To my knowledge no one outside of Hasbro or Paramount has ever seen much of the material presented here.
Seibertron.com: If yes, any that stand out for any particular reason, perhaps due to their being a surprise discovery or something that has a fun story around how it was discovered?
Jim Sorenson: A couple of pieces come to mind. On page 269, we have a couple of Rescue Bots sketches that are just brimming with emotion. They really capture the feel of the series, and I'm delighted that we found room to include them. On page 346, there's an important piece of movie concept art called The Ice Man, by James Clyne. It's one of the first pieces that Michael Bay fell in love with and helped set the visual language for the entire film franchise. The challenge for the production staff was that it's a portrait piece, and of course films are landscape, so they had to figure out how to translate this piece to the big screen.
Seibertron.com: Are there some new items or surprises in this upcoming book that most fans haven't seen before?
Jim Sorenson: Yup! Tons. I won't give away all the surprises, but we've got the never-before-seen alternate modes for Elita-One and Orion Pax from the original series episodes The Search for Alpha Trion and War Dawn, which I'm super proud to bring to the light of day. You'll find them on page 226, in the “Animation” chapter. There's also an amazing sketch by Doug Heart, who did virtually all of the Beast Wars package art, for a 15th anniversary box set that would have included Beast Wars and G1 toys. Alas, it never came to be, but you can see the art here for the first time on page 44.
Seibertron.com: Was there a particular piece that was difficult to come across or that you hadn't seen before?
Jim Sorenson: There were several pieces that I fought hard to procure. On page 334 we've got the promo art from BotCon 1997, High Stakes, which was my very first Transformers convention. It's a gorgeous piece by Andrew Wildman, who was my very first favorite Transformers artist, with modern colors and inks by JP Bove and Stephen Baskerville. There's also a couple of images on pages 106-107 featuring the Siege Starscream vehicle and robot artwork that was a very late addition that I advocated passionately for, because I'd realized we were a little light on both Siege and Starscream. Two birds and one stone later and it's an absolutely gorgeous spread. And you wouldn't believe the lengths I went to in order to procure the Pat Lee Back to the Eighties piece originally published in Wizard Magazine. (Suffice to say, a former editor had to dig it out of a semi-inactive email account.)
Seibertron.com: Of all of the artwork shown in this book, what piece stands out to you the most as your personal favorite?
Jim Sorenson: Which of my children do I love the most, you ask? Jeepers. I'm not even going to attempt to pick a single favorite. But some pieces that have great personal meaning for me are the classic Shockwave cover to Marvel #5, my first comic book EVER, on page 127, a two-page spread of every Gobots character ever in Cybertronian bodies on 294-295 that I commissioned when I was working with the fan club, and a series of Transformers homages to classic comic covers on pages 208-209 headlined by a Liefeld-on-Liefeld recreation of the cover to New Mutants #87 he did for the Dark Cybertron storyline.
Questions pertaining to the Transformers franchise:
Seibertron.com: Since the scale charts shown in The Complete Ark do not address it, how large do you think the individual Scramble City style combiner characters are in relation to other established characters? Are the individual limbs similar in size to the ‘84 cars? Are the torso characters Optimus Prime and Megatron sized? Would enjoy hearing your thoughts on this debate!
Jim Sorenson: This feels like a question that would require research to answer well. WITHOUT having done said research, my gut is that guys like Motormaster are as big as a large Autobot car (think Ironhide Trailbreaker, five meters according to the internal scale guides) and that limbs are probably closer to regular car height, about four meters. But the real answer is that these guys are whatever size the plot required.
Seibertron.com: What was it like to come up with fiction for the TFCC (Transformers Collectors Club) characters? Is there any story that stands out to you as a favorite, or that you're particularly proud of?
Jim Sorenson: Incredibly satisfying. There's something magical about starting with a blank page and building up the robot zombie apocalypse 500 pages later. I think the last two Beast Wars Uprising stories, Derailment (a 179-page novel!) and The Inexorable March, stack up favorably to any other Transformers fiction you might care to read.
Seibertron.com: What's your favorite aspect of the franchise?
Jim Sorenson: The community it has generated. I've got friends on all four corners of the globe, and I'd never have met most of them if not for the incredible franchise that is The Transformers.
Seibertron.com: Transformers fans miss their time with Jim Sorenson at past BotCons! Will you be signing books anywhere in the future or when can fans get some time with you?
Jim Sorenson: I try to keep my dance card full, but I've got no specific plans I can announce yet. This year I did TFCon in Burbank, NYCC in Manhattan, Bubonicon in my hometown of Albuqurque, and TFNation in the United Kingdom. Fingers crossed I'll be able to maintain a similar schedule for 2020. But I'm easy enough to get in touch with. Facebook is pretty reliable (https://www.facebook.com/jimsorenson) and Twitter (https://www.twitter.com/jimsorenson) are two good means of reaching out. So please, don't be a stranger!
