Happy Thanksgiving everyone! It's time for a new episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast/Podcast, featuring Counterpunch, Jon3.0, Tigertracks, Seibertron and Razorclaw.

We have another week thick with news, but first we do a bit of housekeeping, and discuss the emails that Razorclaw received at ihaterazorclaw@seibertron.com regarding the last episode's discussion of TFC Toys' Hercules and Maketoy's Giant figures. We answer some listener emails from joevill, rpetras, and Ariel Brenman. Will Razorclaw be swayed? Listen to find out!

In terms of news, we get angry at Counterpunch for finding the brand new Transformers Prime Arcee, Bumblebee, and Starscream deluxe class toys at his local Toys R Us.



We then discuss the upcoming and highly anticipated Encore Constructicons / Devastar (Devastator), as well as a few flaws that have been reported.



We then turn our attention to the latest version of the Dark of the Moon Leader Class Optimus Prime toy which Takara Tomy released a couple of weeks ago: Striker Optimus!



After that, we turn our discussion to the first ever official China exclusive: "Year of the Dragon" Ultimate Optimus Prime.



Speaking of products coming out of China, we also share our three cents about the latest news in the unofficial 3rd Party world: Minibots, Battle Tanker, and TFC Toys Heavylabor customer service.







After a month hiatus from galleries, Ryan launches some all-new Seibertron.com galleries. We discuss these galleries for MP-10 Convoy (Optimus Prime) and Toys'R'Us Exclusive Rodimus Prime with Offshoot.






Finally, we discuss our featured topic for this podcast - "Holy Grails", hot on the heels of Seibertron's recent purchases of Grand Maximus and Black Zarak. Ryan's purchase of Grand Maximus ends a 15 year hunt that began back in 1996.





The Podcast staff follows suit discussing each of their currently owned and desired Holy Grails.

Good episode. LOVED the Grail discussion. Favorite moment: Ryan said he is looking for a figure I have! Holy Schnikeys! Good work guys.

[TulioDude]

Nice podcast!

I didnt get to write a message to ihaterazorclaw

Face aside,you guys dont like anything in Wheeljack?


Nice story of the Holy Grails.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

I agree. I would definitely buy 3 3/4 human figures. Not only movie, but G1 figures as well. A Marissa Faireborn would be awesome!

It does look better in those colors with a different head, but the Einstein head is too much...too awful.

[Sabrblade]

Que/Wheeljack didn't always have that head.



You got it, Jon. Grand Maximus is the younger brother of Fortress Maximus.

In addition to hacking DVD players, one could watch the UK/Australian DVDs on a computer.

Hey Ryan, will your BlackZarak gallery include images of his Dakatsu Mode?

Oh, I hope the recording of the next podcast is at a time convenient for me to call in. It's gonna be tricky working this in around work and school.

But come on, Wheeljack/Que comes with a handheld power-drill. That's awesome

I actually sold my 20th Anniversary Optimus. He was unstable, and way to tall compared to my Grimlock and Skywarp. He was worth some money, and I wanted it.

Always look forward to the podcast guys.

My holly grail: BW MISB Grimlock, or BWII Gigastorm

Which figure do you have that is on my list?

Glad you guys liked the Grail discussion. I think it's a topic that should be revisited from time-to-time as this group obtains some of the special sought-after items that we wish to obtain. If Bob or Mike ever gets Shining Unicron or if Matt obtains his Lucky Draw Fire Convoy or if Jon lands a MIB Scorponok ... we ought to use that moment to cover this conversation again.

This was a turning point in my collection. It feels weird after all of these years to not be on the hunt for this item. It was just the right time, the right moment, the right price, and the right place. It just all fell together and I love that I did it by selling extra TFs that I've obtained along the way. That made it even more special ... and the only way I could rationalize all of this craziness to my wife. I'm a very lucky man that she is so understanding of this hobby.

Nice story of the Holy Grails.

If Wheeljack had a more Wheeljack head a more Wheeljack color scheme, I wouldn't be so opposed to it. He was just a mess in the movie. Thank goodness Soundwave solved that problem for all of us.

[Seibertron]

I agree. I would definitely buy 3 3/4 human figures. Not only movie, but G1 figures as well. A Marissa Faireborn would be awesome!

I agree. Hopefully one day they'll realize that we'd all love to have this. Heck, it'd be really awesome if the BotCon folks could figure out a couple of human homages with the GIJoe toys.

One day maybe we'll get this!
