Twincast/Podcast Episode #37 "Sub-Prime"

Postby Razorclaw0000 » Mon Feb 06, 2012 3:06 pm

Motto: "Know that I am Razorclaw, that my reality is not yours, and while I share Tigerhawk's dual Spark and Vok heritage...
I am NOT he!"
Weapon: Ion Particle Blaster
Grab your energon pitchforks and plasma torches faithful listeners! On the latest episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast/Podcast, your host Counterpunch tries to find the silver lining in the disappointment the fandom has encountered over the last few weeks. Throwing gas on the fire is repeat guests Razorclaw and Tigertracks. As always, you can download the Twincast directly from iTunes or here at Seibertron.com's Twincast RSS feed.

Kicking things off, we discuss the launch (and relaunch) of the TFCC Exclusive Over-Run and Shattered Glass Drift figures, as well as the problems the Club managed during the sale.

Image

We discuss the issue with preorders, offer suggestions for the future, and discuss the figures themselves.

Next up, we lament the unexpected end of Transformers Prime: First Edition toys. We analyze the problems with store exclusives, discuss the costs involved, speculate on reasons, and get rather salty about the whole affair, including the shortage of Takara First Edition toys to compound fan desire.

Image

Moving on from First Edition to Robots in Disguise, we give our thoughts on the recently revealed Ratchet and Optimus Maximus, as well as some of the other, upcoming figures.

Image

Image

We then jump to other side of the world, and review the just-released United Rodimus and give our thoughts on his over-the-top paint apps.

Image

We have some Micron talk up next for those collectors with a tiny figure predilection, with the recently announced Arms Micron line.

Image

Finally, we discuss a few pieces of excellent art floating around from the likes of Jim Sorenson and Guido Guidi showing us some new sides to the art we've come to know and love.

I hate negativity, but I'd love to hear all of your opinions on where Hasbro failed. They seem to be doing that a lot recently. Good job by the way on the podcasts. I enjoy them!

How do I use this RSS feed on my Android? I'm dumb. Also the RSS page just looks like code.

Most browsers should format the RSS page properly. If it's not displaying in a friendly manner or all you see is code, you need an RSS reader. If you're using an Android product, just go to the market place to find an RSS app that you prefer. Once you have the RSS reader, you will be able to view it properly. The RSS feed's url is a fairly easy URL to remember: seibertron.com/podcast/rss. The direct URL to the file download is at http://www.seibertron.com/media/audio/podcasts/seibertron-twincast-037.mp3. Maybe we need to start putting the direct download link in the news stories going forward since some of you seem to be having difficulty with this recently.

I actually rather like the negativity lol. Conflict keeps things interesting, and I think that Hasbro and all parties should be called out on their bullshit.

Bitching is the right of all sentient beings!

Another excellent 'cast, guys! I especially enjoyed the ending "Why are you still listening" bit with the Figma (Ymir, I would assume) fighting Perceptor. Awesome.

I gotta admit, even though I'm Canadian, I'm still pissed about this Prime First Edition crap. The whole thing, to me, reeks of poor planning all around. I still don't quite understand the rationale behind making two deluxe Cliffjumpers, Bumblebees OR Arcees... it hardly seems cost effective for a company that's all about making money to produce two different molds of the same character, from the same show, in the same size class when engineering the toys and making the molds costs so damn much.

Anyway, I could go into that forever, as I'm sure many of us could, so I'll just depart saying: Awesome job, guys, keep it up, and if you ever find yourselves shorthanded again, hit me up on Skype, (I think CP has my username from when you guys did the call in show) I'd love to fill space and shoot the shit with you guys again. 'Til next time, keep on rocking in the increasingly more expensive world!
