Twincast / Podcast Episode #360 "Full Circle"
Full Circle - Episode 360 of the Seibertron.com Twincast begins with a belated look at Studio Trigger's recently released, all-encompassing Transformers tribute video for the 40th anniversary, which even features Bump of Chicken's quirky Optimus Prime figure. An upcoming release of a Titan Class Star Convoy has been leaked along with quite a few other exciting names. In an interesting collaboration, Transformers will be teaming up with Monster Hunter for the upcoming T-Spark Rathalos Prime figure, so the crew takes a moment to chat about that despite being decidedly uninformed about all things Monster Hunter. In this week's "40 for 40" segment, the cast makes a pit stop to check their oil before driving off into 2017. The episode wraps up with another round of Bragging Rights.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #359 "One"
One - In Episode 359 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast, we kick off with a robust discussion of Transformers One that you won't want to miss! The cast sits down with Jon Bailey, the voice of Soundwave, and Evan Michael Lee, the voice of Jazz, to explore the on-set experience and get the inside scoop on the movie's production. Following the Transformers One conversation, the crew takes a quick look at PulseCon reveals, before diving into the new Missing Link reveals of Sunstreaker and Arcee. The crew transitions into our regular 40 for 40 segment, where each member of the cast discusses their favorite or most impactful release in a given year of the last 40 years of Transformers. This year is 2016, where Combiner Wars concludes and transitions into Titans Return. The episode concludes with bragging rights, where each cast member shares what they acquired since the last episode.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #358 "Size Wars"
Size Wars - Transformers are crossing over, but the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is here to discuss all of the recent news. Discussion starts with the first crossovers with Godzilla, Zoids, Diaclone, and Macross 7. Japanese toy release talk continues with the Dramatic Capture Triple Takeover set which has been revealed. Excitement returns to the crew with the Trigger PV promo video before the limited recurring “40 for 40” segment revisits the year 2015. The cast ponders upcoming Transformers One Studio Series entries for Elita One and Bumblebee, then Bragging Rights follow before Mr. Starscream provides some domestic feedback on his recent trip to the UK-based convention, TF Nation.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #357 "Dear Prudence"
Dear Prudence - The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast's 357th episode starts up with the first of several listener questions, this one about an ongoing and classic fandom argument on who really became Cyclonus. Then the cast very briefly talks about the recent promotional scene releases for Transformers One. A second listener question prompts a quick round-table about favorite Transformers that wear another, smaller Transformer on their chest. The limited recurring "40 for 40" segment picks up from there, with the Generations and Masterpiece lineups from the year 2014 overshadowing the featured movie lineup from Age of Extinction. A final listener question probes into the cast's print media collections, with an emphasis on guidebooks and reference material. As usual, the "Bragging Rights" segment closes out the episode.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #356 "Rev It Up"
Rev It Up - Episode 356 of the Seibertron.com Twincast starts with a full house, with ScottyP, Kuhlio, Aarnhide19, Megatronus, and xRotorstormx all in attendance.

The conversation pivots to 40 for 40, our regular segment that shines a light on our favorite toys from the last 40 years of the brand; this episode it’s 2013, the year of IDW thrilling 30, the first Titan, Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters, and more.

Not only do we have the Naruto reveal to day but Walmart also revealed their new subline which has Generations toys in a retro packaging with colors and some tooling based on their G1 toys. The two they revealed are Bumblebee and Gears.

Remember "Project tails" which referred to a Transformers collaboration project? While people thought it was Sonic, it turns out it was referring to a 9 tailed fox, which is what Kurama turns into in this upcoming Naruto collab. The mold is based on the Cheetor mold but extensively retooled. There are also effect parts specific to this set to simulate the powers seen in the show. This collab will be a two pack as there is an accompanying core class Gamakichi figure which turns into a - Read More

The Transformers Legacy United line has had an odd release schedule with confusing waves. Initially, there were meant to be 3 core class and leader class waves with new characters, meaning wave 4 would only have deluxe and voyager class figures. But now that the line was extended into 2025 with 2 more leaders, the numbering gets all over the place. Hence why we are describing these new sightings as part of the initial fall wave which was just deluxes and voyagers. And both these classes have - Read More

Catching up on the Wonder Festival which took place in Shanghai, Blokees showed prototypes of upcoming Transformers model kits. They are branching out in size classes and media type. While it was all G1 and Movies so far, they revealed an IDW Megatron. He looks pretty cute in this slightly chibi design. He will be released in one of their standard blind box lines. They also showed their classic class TF One model kits, which are not blind boxes and come with more parts, and they introduced the - Read More

Looks like Canada and the US are getting Transformers Studio Series 86 Commander Class Optimus Prime all at once. It was found at Gamestop Canada in limited amounts (since most of the allotted stock went to preorders) and now it's shipping from Amazon.ca. In the US, the toy is now out at Target. We got a few scattered reports from California, Louisiana, Ohio and Iowa, but it may be in other states as well. Pretty cool to see a commander class toy on retail shelves.

It looks like word of mouth did no favors for Transformers One in its second weekend. It opened very poorly last week and has plummeted in its second weekend, ending up third place at the domestic box office behind The Wild Robot and Beetlejuice. While it was expected that the Wild Robot would get first place this weekend, it lays the smackdown on Transformers One’s candy ass by opening 10 million dollars higher that the later did. Which means that the reason Transformers One did less - Read More

We got a teaser for this not long ago, now the orders have opened for Rathalos Prime representing a crossover between Transformers and the Monster Hunter franchise. The figure itself is a heavy retool of Kingdom Airazor, perhaps the most frequently retooled figure in modern history. Alt mode is a pretty good representation of the Rathalos, probably the most iconic monster in the game. The bot mode, on the other hand, well, that's really going to depend on you. It's based on the Rathalos armor - Read More

We have more images of the Transformers One cards. Turns out these are Chinese physical cards, some with holographic effect. While the Primes were the biggest news, since they were not clearly depicted in the film, it is nice to see other chars like Brawn, Sunstreaker and Ironhide. These characters have cogged and non cogged versions. There are a lot more cards than the ones shown below, as we can see from their indicated numbers. Hopefully the rest of the Primes subset will be found and - Read More

The past week-end was disappointing for Transformers One at the box office. As many Hollywood pundits have said, it's unfortunate that a film that had such a great reception did so poorly. Especially when this is in the same brand where films that were panned by critics and fans made over a billion dollars. All this just goes for domestic numbers because the film has yet to open on major markets internationally (like China and the UK). Now that the week-end is done, we know that the - Read More

A part of Transformers One that a lot of fans have rallied behind is the handling of the 13 Primes and turning them into legendary heroes, along with their new designs. Fans have wanted a better look at them, since the movie rarely gave a clear shot of them, and now we have a great look at Micronus and Quintus. These character models are on cards though its unclear if these cards are physical or digital. We also have a screenshot of the thirteen from the film with their names - Read More
