Twincast / Podcast Episode #369 "Gattai-Funding"

Gattai-Funding - It’s time once again for the Seibertron Twincast Podcast to take an in depth look at the latest Transformers Haslab. The reveal of a Haslab Liokaiser combiner as well as the first Deathcobra toy starts the discussion with the group providing their opinion on the potential upcoming figure as well as its crowdfunding goals and tiers. Toy discussion continues with looks at upcoming Age of the Primes Heatwave and Skybyte releases. Hearts of Steel exclusives that were also revealed by the brand team are talked about next, followed by Earthspark Deluxe Class figures of Soundwave and Hashtag, as well as the gimmick toy Swapticon line. Bragging Rights closes the show with each cast member sharing their most recent Transformers related product acquisitions.

Twincast / Podcast Episode #368 "Paint by Numbers"

Paint by Numbers - A catch-up on Transformers toy news items is in order for episode 368 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast, beginning with the Generations Selects Titan Class redeco of Trypticon. In-hand images from one of the designers of the smaller upcoming Titan Star Convoy prompt more discussion on that before several smaller releases are talked about, including an Amazon 2-pack and several Studio Series items such as Age of Extinction Optimus Prime and Que from Dark of the Moon. Takara Tomy's revealed items from a recent T-Spark themed event are next, with AMT Predaking, Missing Link Arcee and MPG Nucleon Quest Convoy analyzed. Kotobukiya's upcoming Optimus Prime girl model kit is next up in the chat, with MPG Rattrap leading in to Bragging Rights, which conclude the episode.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #367 "2024 Year in Review"

Twincast / Podcast Episode #367 "2024 Year in Review"

2024 Year in Review - Episode 367 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast is the first show of 2025, but it provides a lookback at the best and worst of 2024 in our annual superlatives episode. The show begins with the best Transformers toy of the year, objectively - independent of any sentimental value or emotional connection, what toy takes the top spot? This is followed by the subjective best toy of the year from the main collector lines (i.e. Legacy, Studio Series, Masterpiece) as well as choices for favorite toy outside the mainstream. The show pivots slightly to favorite media of the year, and the cast is torn between Transformers ONE and the Studio Trigger 40th Anniversary PV. We take a turn for the worst - worst toy of the year, that is, followed by the worst of anything else that isn't a toy. The cast ends this 2024 look-back with a look inward at their greatest collecting achievement of the year. As we do every year, the Twincast makes two predictions: each cast member makes an obvious prediction, alongside a prediction that is much more of a reach. We end the episode with our regular bragging rights segment, where each cast member reviews what they've acquired since the last episode.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #366 "Swap Meet"

Twincast / Podcast Episode #366 "Swap Meet"

Swap Meet - The final 2024 episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast starts out with a speculative discussion about the leaked upcoming Swapticons which, in the presence of sparse actual information, evolves into a deeper look at the appeal of the Transformers brand for younger audiences and its place in the current media landscape. After that, a listener question about Pretenders sparks a look back at that gimmick of the past, with forward thoughts about how it could possibly be revived for today's market. The final installment of "40 for 40" has the crew looking back to the recent history of 2023 before the regular recurring "Bragging Rights" segment closes the show with the cast sharing their most recent Transformers toy and product acquisitions.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #365 "13 and Me"

Twincast / Podcast Episode #365 "13 and Me"

13 and Me - The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast returns to discuss the recent Cybertron Con reveals for the upcoming Generations Age of the Primes series. Discussion starts with Star Convoy reimagining the Titan Class before hammering away at the other reveals such as Solus Prime, Wasp and G2 Grimlock, among others. A new set of Aerialbots and their main torso bot Silverbolt receive some additional consideration before the toy talk moves on to the Sonic and Tails Collaborative figures. The recurring "40 for 40" segment reminds the cast of the best toys of 2022. Finally, "Bragging Rights" closes out the show in the usual fashion.

2025 MegaCon Hasbro Panel Videos and Breakdowns

Posted 6 days ago by Sabrblade - 35,737 views

Video of the Hasbro Pulse panel at MegaCon: Sounds like the video missed the Liokaiser reveal part of the panel as the beginning of the video sees them talking about Liokaiser like they've already shown it off. They also keep mispronouncing his name as "Leokaiser" instead of "Liokaiser". Sky-Byte is very articulated in shark mode, they wanted to replicate his cartoony "Muppet" qualities from the cartoon. Heatwave is a "partial" of Legacy Bulkhead. The fact that the mold looks like - Read More

Transformers Hearts of Steel Optimus, Starscream, BB and Megatron Revealed + Heatwave and Skybyte

Posted 7 days ago by william-james88 - 44,588 views

Megacon had some beautiful reveals today for Transformers fans. Not only did we get the Haslab announcement but that LioKaiser is available to back now. The order only goes through after the backing period is over so placing an order now is no different than placing an order in two weeks. But back to the reveals, we got a look at the 4 Hearts of Steel toys. They come in two packs of Optimus/Starscream and Bumblebee/Megatron. We also got a good look at Age of the Primes Skybyte (new mold) and - Read More

Via IGN @ MSN, confirmation that LioKaiser will be the next HasLab figure! From the renders, it looks like the set will include not just the core 6 members of the team with their respective Breastforce Chest-Force animal partners, but also the first official toy of Deathcobra. The product images show Deathcobra forming a shoulder-mounted weapon for LioKaiser, and the HasLab page confirms that he WILL also be able to take Hellbat's place as the left arm. The HasLab page is now live with a - Read More

Pictorial Review for Transformers Swapticons Wild Jungle Mission 5-Pack

Posted 9 days ago by william-james88 - 48,775 views

Pixelmaster posted a pictorial review about the new Swapticon 5 pack what includes Optimus Primal, Apelinq, Gator Megatron, Skullcruncher and Scorponok. We also have additional pictures from Cybeast. Only set of Swapticons that came out in retail here. It goes for 199 HKD here (25.54 USD in the exchange as we speak), but for some magical reason there was a discount so I only paid 139 HKD (17.84 USD). As the gimmick suggests, this is just a kiddy version of the deleted Baboon-cat hybrid - Read More

I got permission from him to share those pictures here as well. He also gave a few notes on the figure itself, which I’ve summarized here: - He gave Que an 8/10 overall and recommended it for anyone - Read More

First Look at 2 New Deluxe Earthspark Toys: Soundwave and Hashtag

Posted 13 days ago by william-james88 - 71,469 views

Looks like Earthspark is going out with a bang as Hasbro will be releasing 2 new molds for their deluxe line up: Soundwave and Hashtag. Unlike what may be reported elsewhere, Hashtag is not a rerelease of the Takara retool, it simply looks the same at first due to the fact that the toys represent the same character in her season 2 alt mode. Soundwave is a nice blend of the G1 character and his Cybertron self. His calves are turned so that they can fit in the box, his legs will look sleeker when - Read More

For those anticipating the new Hot Wheels Track Fleet Ultra Magnus, it has been found at Target in the US. It was found by Lody666 in Texas. Speaking of Trackfleet, we now have images comparing the new 2025 Optimus Prime Hot Wheels toy to the 2024 Trackfleet Optimus Prime. As it turns out, the Trackfleet version's cab is much smaller. The 2025 mainline Optimus Prime also has more details, like vents at the top of the cab. You can check out comparison images below, courtesy of GT2 who got a - Read More

Hasbro Enters the Video Game Market with a New IP, not Based on their Existing Brands

Posted 14 days ago by william-james88 - 47,218 views

Our earlier editorial created quite a stir in the Transformers community because even though it was just sharing previously known facts, Transformers fans were not in the know of Hasbro's shift in focus. As Chris Cocks says, Hasbro is now a Game and Toy company, not a Toy and Game company. And while it was assumed this was about things to come, it turns out Hasbro already revealed their first game to be released. And interestingly, it not about Transformers or other brands of theirs, it is a - Read More

2025 will be a Transformative Year for Hasbro as they Focus on Games while Producing less Toys

Posted 19 days ago by william-james88 - 62,471 views

Hasbro is undergoing a huge shift at the moment and while it started in 2024, we will be seeing that shift happen this year, in 2025. Chris Cocks, Hasbro's CEO who used to work at Microsoft, has been diverting assets to video game development and publishing. All the while, some major Hasbro toy brands will no longer be manufactured by Hasbro and instead will be produced under license by other companies. While Transformers won't be hit as hard with this shift, we are already seeing repercussions - Read More
