Twincast / Podcast Episode #324 "Unicrumbs"
Unicrumbs - Transformers movie season is underway with the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast starting out episode 324 with a look at the latest trailer for the soon-to-be-released Rise of the Beasts featuring the surprise appearance of Unicron. Opinions and speculation on the live-action movie give way to further speculation for next year's animated installment, Transformers: One, in light of its cast announcement and plot teasers that have been shared by the studio. Toy discussion follows with reactions to the preorder drop of this year's Generations Titan Class entry Nemesis and her pricing reflecting yet another increase. Images of pre-production versions of the Legacy Evolution Voyager Junkion, an unknown "Miner" Megatron and upcoming R.E.D. series entries for Grimlock and the Prime version of Starscream spark further discussion. The cast reflects on the Transformers themed Ark restaurant in Hong Kong before the episode concludes with the recurring Bragging Rights segment.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #323 "Collective Thinking"
Collective Thinking - Life's biggest mystery is, for some, what to collect or what doesn't belong on the shelf. Episode 323 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast attempts to answer that question, but first, new reviews of Rise of the Beasts mainline Optimus Prime and Primal are discussed to warm things up. Studio Series War for Cybertron Barricade has finally appeared to us in figure form and takes the spotlight next in the conversation. Next, we discuss recently released Seibertron.com galleries of G1 Metroplex and Trypticon along with the Street Fighter collaboration figures. Changing gears, the crew checks in to discuss their Transformer collecting approaches at the moment and give some very late advice to our younger selves. This discussion leads into Bragging Rights which, as usual, closes out the episode.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #322 "I Saw Two Ships"
I Saw Two Ships - Episode 322 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast begins with a discussion of Hasbro's fanstream which showcased upcoming Generations Legacy Evolution and Studio Series products. Thoughts about Commander Class Armada Optimus Prime and Megatron start things out before shifting over to Deluxe Class entries Beachcomber, Axelgrease and Devcon. The Decepticon battleship Nemesis will be the next to join the Titan Class lineup, so the cast provides their thoughts on her before quickly reflecting on "Space Bridge" reveals of Studio Series products. A brief overview of the dearth of products hitting store shelves in support of the upcoming Rise of the Beasts movie follows. After that, the penultimate entry of the long-running Classics Retrospective segment takes a look at late 2014 and early 2015 releases such as Generations Brainstorm, Chromia, Arcee and Windblade. The recurring Bragging Rights segment then closes out another episode.
New Galleries: G1 Trypticon, Metroplex and more!
City Bots - Seibertron.com has just released brand new galleries featuring some of the most iconic figures from the Generation 1 era - Metroplex with Six-Gun, Scamper, and Slammer, and Trypticon with Full-Tilt and Brunt. Check out the galleries here.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #321 "Errial"
Errial - The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast begins episode 321 by sharing in-hand impressions of the latest Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution toys, including Leader Class Skyquake, Deluxe Class Animated Prowl and the other new Deluxe motorcycle, Crashbar. This toy-centric episode continues discussion with the surprise reveal of the soon to be released War Dawn set recently discovered at a Canadian Gamestop store. Rise of the Beasts movie designs provide opportunity for a brief discussion on expectations for the film and the impact its marketing cycle has on fans. A look at the new Walmart G2 line that was recently revealed comes up next. After that, a listener question on a possible Studio Series 86 Commander Class Ultra Magnus is addressed before a short continuation of the long ongoing Classics Retrospective segment closes out the discussion topics. As usual, Bragging Rights finishes up this episode.

Our previous news of Transformers Rise of the Beasts Funko Pops had no traction and mainly negative comments. So we get it, most of the TF fans community does not like Pops. But, what if I told you one of the Rise of the Beasts Pops was ... an exclusive? That's right, Rhinox, who is in his beast mode looking rather cute, will be a Target exclusive. You can see the images - Read More

We have some good news and bad news. The good news is that two new Takara exclusive Transformers figures have been unveiled. The bad news is that they will be very hard for people to obtain as they are linked to a national level promotion. The figures revealed are Transformers Studio Series SS-EX Nemesis Prime and Kingdom KD-EX Burning Optimus Primal, who is based off of the Burning Convoy deco we've had before for Primal toys in Japan. These two figures are tied to a promotion where you - Read More

Hasbro revealed two 2-packs today, both IDW comic themed. They both sold out on Pulse but are available on Amazon.com. However, there is a pricing error. The product codes do not match the images, names and descriptions, they have been inverted. Which means that what you see as the Megatron/Ratbat set has the price for the Orion/Senator Shockwave set and vice versa. That means that there is potentially a great deal to be had for the Megatron set where you get 2 voyagers for $55 instead of $70. - Read More

Anyone reading this a Pops fan? Well if you are, then you'll love this news. We now have images from Funko themselves about the set made for the Transformers Rise of the Beasts film. However, they are based on older designs, which is most apparent with Mirage and Primal. Let us know if you will be getting - Read More

Looks like fans of the IDW comics are going to be eating well. Thanks to someone over at Australia's Amazon page making a mistake, we now have info of another IDW centered set to go with the Megatron/Senator Ratbat set. And that set is another two pack featuring Senator Shockwave and Orion Pax. In the IDW comics, Shockwave was once a senator with a normal head and two hands, but he was punished into having his hands and head removed and replaced, turning him into how we all know him. This - Read More

By this rate, we'll see all the key scenes of the Rise of the Beasts film before the movie comes out as Paramount is holding nothing back in the marketing (and I don't blame them, competition at the cineplex will be fierce). In this latest TV spot, we have a shot of Optimus Primal talking while Optimus Prime an Stratosphere are in the background in their robot modes. Now we knew Stratosphere had a voice actor and we had seen his bot mode in promotional material, but we didn't know if we'd - Read More

We have something really cool to share with you today. JTPrime 17 has uploaded images of the Rise of Tyranny 2 pack which includes Miner Megatron and Senator Ratbat. Both are redecos and retools with Megatron being a retool of the Siege Megatron toy and Ratbat being a retool of Studio Series Scourge. These are rumoured to be part of this year's set of Amazon Exclusives. The box itself is reminiscent of the Wreckers 2 packs we got last year. This may also be available at an upcoming convention. - Read More

Paramount and Hasbro are going all out with what they are ready to show us leading to the release of the Rise of the Beasts film. So anyone wanting to avoid most spoilers won't have a chance unless they stay away from any site discussing the film. Case in point, we have a brand new TV Spot below that shows us more bot shots. And not just that, but we see what is probably a new Maximal. While it is also a gorilla, it doesn't share the same details as Optimus Primal. A recent list of movie - Read More

While it has been said in the past, it does look like this new Transformers film is finally focusing mostly on robots. At least in the marketing, with this latest tv spot being mostly shots of the robots. And the robots transforming, no less, which is significant since previous films were criticized for obscuring and limiting transformations. In this new tv spot below, we see new shots of Scourge Transforming across rooftops and a big money shot of Mirage Transforming as he is creating - Read More

While the Transformers Earthspark show has been around for months, Megyn Kelly, of Fox News fame, only learnt now that the show includes the non-binary character Nightshade. She doesn't watch the show but commented on a clip featuring Nightshade discussing their pronouns with a human, calling it "disgusting". The reason this is being brought up here is because with Transformers being a franchise from the 80s, it rarely gets discussed in the older demographic (60 and up) and now Megyn has raised - Read More

There's been rumblings of a live action Multiverse through rumours and wishful thinking but it's finally officially mentioned. It is part of Unicron's official bio, where he is mentioned to be the most omnipotent "force in the multiverse." The bio also mentions his intention for the Terrocons to get a key that "opens a portal in space and time". You can read all the bios below.

Transformers core class Studio Series 86 Ironhide was found today at a Gamestop in the province of Quebec by me. There is a picture of the sighting below. We also have reviews from our community members Thundertron and Chuckdawg, who even gives us a quick written review, that you can see below. It is unclear who else is being released with this Ironhide since Gamestop either gets solid cases or just certain items within a case per store.

Marketing for the Transformers Rise of the Beasts movie is ramping up with just a month to go before its release. While we got a lot of content for the maximals in their beast modes, and the autobots, we didn't see much of the terrorcons or the maximals in robot mode. Well, this new TV Spot rectifies that by starting with a shot of Scourge transforming while he rams into Optimus Prime. We then get a shot of Rhinox in bot mode charging with Cheetor transforming in the foreground. There's bot - Read More

Transformers are a HUGE brand. While the Transformers name proper originated from the US, we saw that the brand resonates with people from across the world, as is made evident with global box office for past films, the new Ark Café in China and now a major project underway in Saudi Arabia. The project is a partnership between Hasbro and Saudi Entertainment Ventures (called Seven for short) who will make Transformers-themed indoor entertainment centres. These will be 10,000-square-metre - Read More

We have our most comprehensive interview yet with Transformers Rise of the Beasts' director Steven Caple Jr. While it reinforces many elements which fans have expressed disliking, like the push for diversity, rap culture, Michael Bay helping with the film and ensuring the preservation of the Bayverse, it does give us something very refreshing compared to all other Transformers films: a focus on the robots as characters the audience can truly care about. While we did have that with Bumblebee, - Read More

We saw that the next wave of Studio Series voyagers were ready for distribution and someone got their hands on Rhinox. They made a quick review showing that the shoulders are mistransformed on the box. We also get a look at the Rhino mode from different angles, some less flattering than others. Let us know what you - Read More

Let's face it, continuity in the Transformers franchise is out the door and it is not in any way something that Paramount gives much importance to. However, they do want to highlight chronology when looking at this franchise as a whole, so that the general audience knows where they are situated in this franchise's timeline. So in this official clip from Paramount below, the director reassesses where this film fits chronologically within the live action film series. The clip also highlights - Read More
