Deja vu, G2. Out of Middle Earth comes sightings of Shadowstrip, the first of what we anticipate will be a full set of G2-deco Velocitron Stunticons. Let's not forget Crasher, too.
The Transformers Hall of Shame, er, Fame fan vote is open and it's... a Google Form? And includes a category for Legacy toys, many of which have not been released yet? Oh, brother.
In more interesting news, Super7 ReAction line boasts an upcoming Unicron toy - their version of the never-produced G1 prototype. Move over Ultimates, there's a new (old) game in town.
You asked and we listened: it's time for another retrospective. We cover the odd transition from mainline Generations and Combiner Wars, starting with GDO and extending to Fall of Cybertron and the TFCC releases. What's notable, what hasn't held up, and what still has a place in our collections?

Episode #285 “Monster Mashup” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher Radio and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
Here's what we discuss in this episode:
HasLab watch: as of our recording, Victory Saber has surpassed 9000 backers. We discuss the likely trajectory from here out, and the strong possibility of unlocking all tiers, including the accidentally revealed shield.
Leak Lists: Retailer Exclusives, Beast Wars Reissues, RED, Shattered Glass, Generations Selects, Legacy, and Studio Series, to name a few. We sift through and point out the notable characters we're most excited about.
Two Target exclusives have gone up for preorder: Kingdom Road Rage and Crossover Universal Monsters Draculus. We're oddly into Draculus and the possibility of additional Universal Crossovers. Draculus is sold out, but Road Rage is available here.
"Classics Retrospective" continues. This time we're looking at 2011 and 2012, up until Botcon 2012. That includes Reveal the Shield, ongoing Generations releases, and the weird, tail end of United - and even the stray exclusives such as United Target Masters, Million Publishing Stepper, and Amazon's 25th Anniversary Unicron. We have our favorites.
Bragging rights! What has everyone gotten since last time?

The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is back in your podcast feeds as ScottyP, Megatronus, and Mr Starscream tackle the latest Transformers news and more.
Episode #284 “Welcome to 2010” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher Radio and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
Here's what we discuss in this episode:
The Victory Saber HasLabcampaign is live - so we come hat in hand about our wrong predictions, but fail to learn our lesson by speculating on stretch goals and what this means for future releases.
Also: more prototype images straight from Boston Fan Expo.
Studio Series 77 N.E.S.T. Bumblebee is here, and gosh darn it, this release makes zero sense, which may be why they threw spellchecking the packaging to the interns.
It took 7 years, but we have a Transformers Phi Slama Jama in the form of Kingdom Slammer, who joins the ranks of "My Titan Aint Complete Unless I Buy This" club along with Cog, Brunt, and Sixgun.
That catchy jingle means Listener Questions. Meanguns asks re: the Ark: "(heavy sigh) it's gonna get redone as Tidal Wave, isn't it?" and of the plasticizer issue discussed in 283: "does anyone have any specific or personal examples?"
It's been TWO YEARS since the last retrospective, but we're finally picking up the torch as we dive into red-carded Generations, Reveal the Shield, Welcome to 2010, and more.
Bragging rights! What has everyone gotten since last time?

Episode 277 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is ready to help fill your long holiday weekend with Scotty P and Megatronus laying down thoughts on the latest Studio Series toys revealed at last week's Fan Friday. The alliteration ends there but the fun is just beginning, so tune in to hear our views on all the latest like Wreck-Gar, Sharkticons, Shattered Glass Starscream and even those terrible looking new Cyberverse toys.
Episode #277 “Daring to Be Stupid” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher Radio and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
Selects Artfire, and precisely which Ricochet or Stepper you're supposed to pair it with.
We haven't found Playstation 5s yet either, but at least we're already working on our 4k collection by buying The Transformers: The Movie for a thousandth time.
Bragging rights close us out again, this time featuring no Bumblebees.

The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is back as our host ScottyP along with miscreants Megatronus, Mr. Starscream, Rotorostorm, Counterpunch, and Seibertron himself stumble their way through the Transformers news of the day - including some new Fan Friday reveals, upcoming Kingdom toys, and lots of futile Black Friday hopes.
Episode #264 “Kingdom Come” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher Radio and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
Here's what we discuss in this episode:
A few Hasbro Fan Friday reveals have hit the Transformers-sphere, including Afterlife Ectotron, and Studio Series Cybertronian Bumblebee... but the real star, of course, is Dino! We discuss the import, or lack thereof.
Seibertron breaks his embargo - he received wave 1 of Kingdom early (and legally) and is ready to show us the down and dirty in-hand photos. Hype & anticipation await.
The last Galactic Odyssey set is up for preorder on Amazon: Botropolis Rescue Mission. Meant to integrate with Earthrise Skylynx, the Twincast reception is decidedly mixed.
The next Transformers Collaborative project is up for preorder: Ultimate X-Panse. Jokes about naming conventions and pants aside, the Twincast struggles to place this X-Men crossover in the context of previous Collaborative releases.
As is tradition for the show just before Thanksgiving, we share our "Black Friday-ish Kind-of-weekend-but-really-all-week-now" wish list. Some is realistic, others totally dumb. We're in for a good time either way.
We close out this episode with an entertaining round of bragging rights. Enjoy!

With 2019 wrapping up and an entire decade in the rear view mirror, the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast winds down the last 10 years with trivia, highlights, and more. Join Scotty P as he catches up with Megatronus, Counterpunch, Cobotron and Seibertron himself look back at what has been and make bold predictions of what the next 10 years might bring.
ScottyP kicks us off with a sinister game that tests the crew's mastery of this past decade's events...
It's the 2019 year in review - each member recounts their favorite Transformers toy, favorite piece of Transformers media, and what they disliked most about the past year.
The crew looks forward to their most anticipated known Transformer of 2020, and make one for sure it's-gonna-happen prediction.
Looking back at this past decade, we use Transformers: Prime as a jumping off point, discussing both the show and what it represented, as well as the spottiness (and triumphs) of the toy line.
Our review would not be complete without a movie discussion, starting with Dark of the Moon and extending to Transformers The Ride and the Wahlberg-era films.
This decade has seen a sea change in how Transformers is marketed - we cover the highlights, lowlights, and how the brand has evolved with time.
Also essential to the 2010s: IDW Phase II, including the critically acclaimed More Than Meets The Eye and other works that fundamentally changed the reach of the Transformers brand.
We end with our personal highlights: favorite Transformers moment & bragging right of the decade, and what we look forward to most in the next decade.

The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast sits on the sidelines and armchair quarterbacks its way through the massive gauntlet of Transformers toy product news from both Toy Fair and Wonderfest. Counterpunch, Rotorstorm, and Scotty P bring the rain and talk about what looks cool, what looks blase, and what just kind of exists in the Siege, Studio Series, Masterpiece, and Cyberverse product lineups hitting shelves sometime this year.
Bragging Rights take us to the end of another year's Toy Fair weekend.

The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is gearing up for another year of Black Friday goodness. Your host Megatronus along with xRotorstormx discuss their plans for Black Friday as well as all the latest Power of the Primes, Siege, and Bumblebee Movie news.
Episode #212 "Countdown to Black Friday" is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
Here's what we talk about during this episode:
o We start the show off with a discussion on how Black Friday has changed over the years and if the TRU closing or Cyber Monday impacts our spending habits.
o PotP Optimal Optimus has been sighted at Target, Studio Series ROTF Starscream has also made it to store shelves, and Siege Micromasters have started to show up in stores as well.
o Our very own Seibertron has been working non-stop to provide us with some amazing Galleries for the latest Siege Micro Masters, Battle Masters, Deluxes and even fan favorites Optimus and Megatron.
o We have a bit of science afoot with a mass analysis of Siege Optimus & Megatron versus their Titans Return counterparts, and the result may surprise you.
o More information has come to light regarding the runtime and rating for the Bumblebee Movie, as well as a new trailer featuring some Optimus on Thundercracker action on Cybertron! #JoinTheBuzz
o Of course we close out this episode with a short round of Bragging Rights.

Turn on your cloaking device because it's time to Wreck 'n Rule once again with the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast. This latest episode features the G2 host Scotty P as he's joined by Aligned Megatronus and Binaltech Asterisk Car Robot RodimusConvoy13. With the fan vote done for another year and the malaise of the springtime upon us, get ready for some takes on all the latest in Transformers that aren't quite hot yet because they need some time to thaw before we can bake them, ok?
The results are in for the latest Generations Fan Vote, with the winning duo of Deluxe Class figures (each sold separately) announced as Impactor and Mirage. Despite the presence of Classics Mirage, Combiner Wars Mirage, Generations Impactor, and the TFCC Subscription Service Impactor, it seems fans can't get enough of certain characters - or want a proper Transformers toy of Impactor at any rate. Is it the power of comics, or is it something else altogether? Hang on tight as this topic journeys into the wild and goes for quite a long time, with opinions and musings about why some characters keep coming up in plastic form time and again.
Third time's the charm?
Wave 2 of Power of the Primes has been out for at least a couple weeks now, and with our impressions of the Voyagers cut short during the last episode we take some more time to examine them in detail. RodimusConvoy 13 also tells us about the pair of Deluxe Class figures he's had the opportunity to find and purchase in Rippersnapper and Moonracer. Even Rodimus Unicronus and his questionable facial hair decisions get a mention as we hang out and chat about our newest toys.
There is a question of "u"s and "r"s still at large.
As the G1 line of the week winds down, another line is winding up in the form of the Movie Studio Series. Listeners of our last episode may remember that Scotty P was one of the early adopters over Toy Fair weekend when the Movie Studio Series Wave 1 Deluxe figures went up for a limited time sale on Hasbro Toy Shop. With these figures in hand, the team discusses the highlights of the wave and even some of the drawbacks too. Plus, we pretend we know anything at all about marketing, but really we're just disappointed that these aren't quite the premium line-up they're hyped up to be.
The idea gets full marks, the execution not so much.
The toy talk carries on further and into the latest releases and rumors in the Masterpiece lineup. MP-40 Targetmaster Hot Rod has arrived with a fun new deco and another shot for collectors to pick up the Targetmaster Firebolt accessory that was included with the older Hasbro release of the first Masterpiece Rodimus Prime. Of course, there are also comparisons to be made to MP-28, the first Masterpiece Hot Rod.
Then we pick up on the "basically news" that a third version of a G1 styled Masterpiece Optimus Prime is on the way. No one is surprised and the cast is encouraged, as we discuss other incarnations of the character from the Masterpiece lineup such as the first release of MP-1 Convoy. Of course, there is also some talk about room for improvement that could be available when considering MP-10, the first Masterpiece of the bygone "Super Car" era for the line.
"Next time on Car Talk..."
We go full on 90s next, with ad-hoc Recommendations From Another Time! This new segment covers some toys you may have overlooked, and possibly even some you'll never be able to afford. We follow the trail set upon us by the ghost of a dead Battle Beast to go off the beaten trail once again. What on Cybertron is this paragraph talking about? You'll have to tune in to hear the sort-of rules for the segment before you hear our random recommendations.
Acesmcgee wrote:So I saw the video by Gotbot, I think, where he modded his POTP Rodimus. So my question is, what is the most extreme modification you've made to your transformers, if any?
Broken necks everywhere, if it ain't about the money Puff he just don't care.
The hour gets a little late, so before we fall asleep in front of the microphones we pick up the pace and mention our favorite art and story moments from Optimus Prime 16. This second part of "The Falling" story arc has excited us and continues to build the excellent character of Soundwave within IDW's Transformers comics. Listen in to hear about what great moments there are in store within this latest chapter of the series.
Ironhidensh wrote:If, say, a content provider that is actually good, like Netflix or Amazon, decided to put out an adult/older fan oriented cartoon, would you want an all new story line? Or one based off of past or current comics?
Jelly level: Can you see if there's another seat on the bus to Jelly School?
While the 16th issue will be upon us soon, that means it's a good time to again go through our favorite parts of a comic with Lost Light #15. The Scavengers' part of the tale comes to an end, with answered questions, new mysteries, and significant developments for at least one classic character. Join us as we roar to the rescue and explore answers definitely not provided by any Magnificence.
You know, this means all the Dinobots are Dads to Protoforms now. Just sayin'.
We wind down with the Twincast doing something it promised it would never do: break news. Well, kind of. Maybe. Let's not actually call it that. Rumors and hearsay that have a chance of being right are presented for your consideration, and time will tell if they end up being the ultimate plan. What are we talking about? Here's a hint.
Will anyone else attempt to fill IDW's shoes? This hint is terrible and not useful.
