We're back with another exciting episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast. As always, you can download the Twincast directly from iTunes or here at Seibertron.com's Twincast RSS feed.

This week, host Mike, and regular members Matt, Bob, Jon and Ryan continue our discussion of BotCon, started in last week's episode.

After getting up to speed with Ryan and Jon, we launch into the latest BotCon reveals:

Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus




Metalhawk




Shattered Glass Octopunch



What does the crew have to say about head molds? What did we say about the color schemes of this year's figures? What are our thoughts on molds used? Tune into the Twincast to find out!

Next up, we discuss the registration process. Find out our thoughts as well as listen in to find out who's going to the customizing class and what we think the figure may be.

Next, we discuss the recently revealed Transformers: Prime toys, although our full coverage of the main line will be in a future show.



Be sure to check out our full coverage of the UK launch of the main line, as well!

Finally, we discuss something very important out in the real world: SOPA and PIPA. On Wednesday, January 18th, 2012, Seibertron.com and many other large websites, including Reddit and Wikipedia, took part in a massive blackout to protest the US Goverment's proposed censorship and anti-piracy laws. See more about the topic in our extensive article. If you aren't familiar with these pieces of legislation, we recommend a few minutes of reading on these topics that could threaten your civil liberties!



We wrap up with some light-hearted bragging rights!

Stay tuned for another exciting episode of the Twincast/Podcast, and remember that Seibertron.com is your ultimate Transformers resource!

Skype was badly behaved this time around. There may be some audio issues.

We apologize. It was unavoidable.

How does a person download the podcast who doesn't use itunes or know a thing about RSS feeds? Got a direct link to the file?

Regarding Gigatron, Emperor Gavlatron made a gorgeous custom out of the Universe Silverbolt mold (which many think would have been the better mold choice).

The Decepticon Pretender Stanglehold had a human head (and a scantly-clad human body).

Color Changers were Generation 2.

In addition to Keven Micheal Richardson, both Steve Blum and Frank Welker have also voiced a few Vehicons.


W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-WHAT?! A review of the Japanese Collection DVD set? Oh, I am there! I am SO there!

I too am looking for a Japanese BW Metals Jaguar (Ravage) figure for a good price. Saw one at BotCon 2010, but it was out of my price range. Gonna be on the look out for one again at this year's BotCon. Any assistance would be appreciated.

It made the arguments sound more heated and chaotic than they probably were.

Nice podcast.Since i dont much collectors,it nice hear from you guys.
I wonder if the botcon toy will look different once they are in hands.
Man,the third party was heated!I agree mostly with Seibertron on this.
Besides just because hasnt done a figure yet,doesnt mean they never will.
Could i see these Facebook pictures you guys have talked about?

About Sopa:
Did yo know in portuguese "Sopa" means soup and "Pipa" means kite?
People have rights to defend their copyright,but this isnt the way.
Also:

Okay, so what? I've download a couple of thousand songs off the internet. Who hasn't? Who hasn't?!

Nice show guys.

Fantastic show, guys! You pretty much read my mind when it comes to this year's Botcon exclusives. I have to admit, the ones I'm most looking forward to are the ones we haven't seen/confirmed (namely Kickoff and the SG Junkions).

Great discussion on SOPA/PIPA. People need to understand what these bills would do to our fandom (and, you know, their other civil liberties too I guess). Although, given the 3rd Party discussion, I wonder how Hasbro feels about SOPA/PIPA.

Ryan, your bragging rights haul makes me green, lol. Nice catch on that black Lioconvoy. The regular original version is on my Botcon shopping list this year.

The CDN dollar is weaker at the moment. Distribution is just a huge wtf

Uhm, I tried that. There is no "play now" link on the page for me. Is there supposed to be?

Click this link, then click the little orange text that says "Play now" right under the the blue heading.

Another great podcast gang.

The running time of these things is killing my day though! But I love it.

Again good work.
