Twincast / Podcast Episode #361 "Doppelganger"
Doppelganger - In episode 361 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast, the conversation kicks off with new Walmart G1 Retro releases of Bumblebee and Gears, which feature modern Deluxe Class toys in packaging that homages the characters' '80s releases. The crew then takes on recently revealed Transformers crossovers with Naruto and Star Wars’ The Mandalorian. The discussion moves to in-hand impressions of Studio Series 86 Commander Class Optimus Prime, which two cast members have acquired. Everyone offers their choice for 40 for 40 - our limited segment where each cast member chooses their favorite release from a given year from the last 40 years of the franchise - this year, it’s 2018. The episode wraps up as it usually does with a round of Bragging Rights.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #360 "Full Circle"
Full Circle - Episode 360 of the Seibertron.com Twincast begins with a belated look at Studio Trigger's recently released, all-encompassing Transformers tribute video for the 40th anniversary, which even features Bump of Chicken's quirky Optimus Prime figure. An upcoming release of a Titan Class Star Convoy has been leaked along with quite a few other exciting names. In an interesting collaboration, Transformers will be teaming up with Monster Hunter for the upcoming T-Spark Rathalos Prime figure, so the crew takes a moment to chat about that despite being decidedly uninformed about all things Monster Hunter. In this week's "40 for 40" segment, the cast makes a pit stop to check their oil before driving off into 2017. The episode wraps up with another round of Bragging Rights.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #359 "One"
One - In Episode 359 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast, we kick off with a robust discussion of Transformers One that you won't want to miss! The cast sits down with Jon Bailey, the voice of Soundwave, and Evan Michael Lee, the voice of Jazz, to explore the on-set experience and get the inside scoop on the movie's production. Following the Transformers One conversation, the crew takes a quick look at PulseCon reveals, before diving into the new Missing Link reveals of Sunstreaker and Arcee. The crew transitions into our regular 40 for 40 segment, where each member of the cast discusses their favorite or most impactful release in a given year of the last 40 years of Transformers. This year is 2016, where Combiner Wars concludes and transitions into Titans Return. The episode concludes with bragging rights, where each cast member shares what they acquired since the last episode.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #358 "Size Wars"
Size Wars - Transformers are crossing over, but the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is here to discuss all of the recent news. Discussion starts with the first crossovers with Godzilla, Zoids, Diaclone, and Macross 7. Japanese toy release talk continues with the Dramatic Capture Triple Takeover set which has been revealed. Excitement returns to the crew with the Trigger PV promo video before the limited recurring “40 for 40” segment revisits the year 2015. The cast ponders upcoming Transformers One Studio Series entries for Elita One and Bumblebee, then Bragging Rights follow before Mr. Starscream provides some domestic feedback on his recent trip to the UK-based convention, TF Nation.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #357 "Dear Prudence"
Dear Prudence - The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast's 357th episode starts up with the first of several listener questions, this one about an ongoing and classic fandom argument on who really became Cyclonus. Then the cast very briefly talks about the recent promotional scene releases for Transformers One. A second listener question prompts a quick round-table about favorite Transformers that wear another, smaller Transformer on their chest. The limited recurring "40 for 40" segment picks up from there, with the Generations and Masterpiece lineups from the year 2014 overshadowing the featured movie lineup from Age of Extinction. A final listener question probes into the cast's print media collections, with an emphasis on guidebooks and reference material. As usual, the "Bragging Rights" segment closes out the episode.

NEW! A new Transformers line from Takara Tomy has been leaked by TFW2005 user lord ginrai called Transformers Wild King.

The line is built around a play feature called "Wildoking" (wild + dock + king) - Read More

Not only does he appear on the side of Megatronus' box, but we're also getting an early look at what appears to be Liege Maximo who hasn't been leaked as part of the - Read More

Toys Are Russ has even more Hasbro sponsored content for us, now for figures under the SS86 banner. The Galvatron review gives a great look at how different the colors are this time around.

Many fans claim these are very similar to the combiner wars iterations so this video could shed some light on how different (or not) they are. - Read More

They are now focusing on becoming a « digital play » focused company under their new CEO, Chris Cocks. These changes in goals are because they feel there is less money to be made in physical - Read More

While the recall is true, the reason is just a rumour, and that rumour is that it's been recalled due to the words "punish and enslave". Western retailers are now selling the complete set as a pack of 4 and not 5. - Read More
