The staff of Seibertron.com would like to wish all of you Seibertronians a safe and Happy New Year! The 30th anniversary of the Transformers brand is officially upon us at long last.

It seems 2014 is poised to be on one of the greatest years yet in the world of the Transformers. Many new products will be released throughout 2014 with Transformers Generations, Transformers Age of Extinction, new Rescue Bots cartoons, BotCon 2014 Pasadena, TFCon Chicago, more 3rd party products, more exciting comics from IDW, and I'm sure there'll be a few surprises along the way that will please everyone! Please stop by to share your New Year messages with your fellow Seibertronians by clicking here. Stay safe friends ... 2014 is here at long last! Happy New Year!

Welcome to the latest edition of the Seibertron.com Twincast! This episode features auxiliary host ScottyP, Seibertron, Rotorstorm, Razorclaw and El Duque.
Episode 81 "Fixit" is available directly and in our RSS Feed and should appear on iTunes within 24 to 48 hours of this news post.
Dark Cybertron is upon us. You've read Va'al's review, now see what the Twincast crew thinks of the culmination of years of plot threads finally being drawn together.
Special topic: cleaning and repairing Transformers! The crew delves into some tips for fixing and improving everything from junker G1 figures to modern figures with factory defects.
Next, we take a keen eye toward the recently revealed Hasbro Product Listings. We discuss the code names, the cancelled figures, and our thoughts on the future. Are we excited? Miserable? Are our bodies ready? Find out!
From the list of things to come, we shift our focus to some figures coming very soon but discussing the in-hand images of Waspinator and Skids. Check out our thoughts before a thought bullet undoes them!
Can a thought bullet undo the oddity of the upcoming simplified Deluxes? We look for the bright side and finally settle on some hope in the Simplfied Voyagers.
We answer a listener question from mooncake623, discuss our latest bragging rights, and then close out the show with some thoughts on Optimus Prime Riding Grimlock[/url
Join the Twincast crew as they embark on Episode 79! This episode’s party crew consists of Counterpunch, ScottyP, Seibertron, Rotorstorm, and Tigertrack. While this episode has nothing to do with Old School, it does feature a discussion about Masterpiece Streak and even has the return of Listener Questions!
Episode 79 "Streakin'" is available directly and in our RSS Feed and should appear on iTunes within 24 to 48 hours of this news post.
FUNCTION: Gunner Masterpiece Bluestreak is in many collectors’ hands at this time, and he looks fiiiiiinnnneeee. New MP galleries on the site get discussed, too.
And of course, galleries lead to more galleries...we look at Magnificus, a very worthy repaint of a pretty good figure. And it’s black. My class picture...I looked so young there.
Guess what?!? More micron arms exclusives are on the way from TakaraTomy. Whoa! Pretty colors.
My favorite topic, black exclusives. Black exclusive, black exclusive black exclusive Hunter Optimus Prime, black exclusive black exclusive Leo Prime...BLACK EXCLUSIVE!
TOPIC du JOUR What happens when a brand gets so popular it has major motion pictures, many comic book titles, cartoons, and not one, but two toy companies that produce toys in the name of it? Why, we have a bit of a topic of discussion with the podcast crew as we try to figure out just what a Transformer is these days. Something for everyone? Or no seeming direction to the brand?
Not to be outdone, we talk about IDW’s TRANFORMERS MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE #22 which finally answers the question, “So what the hell does Rung transform into?” Just when you’d had your fill of Transformer big names showing up and being all high and mighty, another shows up and does the same...
Oh and there’s a little Transformers comics event coming soon, DARK CYBERTRON #1 is coming soon, and we give a quick breakdown of some preview pages courtesy of iTunes.
Hey, the Twincast would be nothing without our community of listeners, and we answer some questions from the listener mailbag that ask about displays, mixing your lines, waffles, and outrageous ideas for the upcoming Whirl toy's repaint/retool. Thanks for the questions!
Ryan turns a blind eye to our next discussion about third party toys, and what is the future of the toys, the companies, and the popularity. Anybody been priced out yet?
Speaking of third party toys we finally get into bragging rights where more unofficial product gets mention.
Thanks for listening to the Twincast podcast. We love doing this for all you who give it a listen.
Seibertron.com is proud to present our newest gallery: MP-17 Prowl!
The first of the three Datsun Fairlady Z releases, the one that started it all. Instantly recognizable, Prowl the strategist makes a splash in Masterpiece form for the first time. Much like his brother Bluestreak, Prowl is a highly detailed replica of the Datsun Fairlady Z, with yet another gorgeous paint scheme.
Prowl, as a character, was kinda boring and by the book, while this Masterpiece figure is anything but. Takara Tomy's attention to detail continues to wow with this guy, because he looks like he stepped right out of your screen, and looks like a work of art. Much like the Lamborghini mold (gallery coming soon!), each Datsun figure has their own individual face, making each figure unique and not just a simple redeco like the figures of the past.
If you're still sitting on the fence about these, we hope our galleries will sway you. These beautiful gems will look great in any collection. Want to see more? Check out the pictures below before heading to the full gallery (which can be accessed just by clicking any of the pictures) and then come back and share your thoughts!
Seibertron.com is proud to present our newest gallery: MP-18 Streak! (AKA Bluestreak)
The second of the three Datsun Fairlady Z releases, with Prowl previously released (come back tomorrow for our MP-17 gallery!) and Smokescreen soon to follow. Most people see the Datsuns and recognize Prowl or Smokescreen first due to the former being a police car and the latter being a very bright red, white and blue race car. Both stand out, while Bluestreak looks like your run of the mill automobile and tends not to, but this isn't a weakness, this makes his the best disguise of all!
While Bluestreak, as a character, isn't exactly memorable, except for his attitude and mouth (both of which got him into trouble), his masterpiece figure certainly will be. Takara Tomy's attention to detail really shines with this guy, because not only does he look like his animation model, he also shows off every fine detail of the real Datsun Fairlady Z, with a painstaking paint deco that's deserving of covetous stares.
If you're still sitting on the fence about these, we hope our galleries will sway you. These beautiful gems will look great in any collection. Want to see more? Check out the pictures below before heading to the full gallery (which can be accessed just by clicking any of the pictures) and then come back and share your thoughts!
We proudly present our newest Seibertron.com galleries, the TFCC Subscription Service Ultra Mammoth and Big Black Convoy! These are redecos of the Beast Wars Neo Big Convoy mold.

You can see the galleries of the previous subscription releases here: Convention & Club Exclusives Subscription Service - Transformers Toy Galleries
