Twincast / Podcast Episode #364 "Headless Observations"
Headless Observations - Toys with no heads kick off episode 364 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast as leaked images of headless test shots of Age of the Primes Voyager Class Prima and Red Alert prompt the show's first discussion. After that, speculation abounds due to the news of Hasbro no longer financing film projects based on their intellectual properties. The cast ponders what this could mean from a practical standpoint when it comes to future Transformers films. After a very brief, impromptu look back at the defunct Wizards of the Coast Transformers TCG, the limited recurring "40 for 40" segment re-visits 2021 and the arrival of its massive Haslab project, Unicron. The "Bragging Rights" segment closes out the episode as each participant shares their latest Transformers toy and product acquisitions.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #363 "Studio Anything"
Studio Anything - Transformers toylines may be getting rid of numbering, but the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is here to deliver episode 363. Discussion starts with some very brief Transformers One talk now that the movie is available on digital services. Leaked images of what appears to be Prima from the upcoming Age of the Primes toyline keeps the conversation going before the excitement ebbs during talk of the recently revealed Studio Series Deluxe Optimus Prime, sporting a design inspired by the Transformers Devastation video game. Changes in the theming, packaging, and overall branding of the Studio Series line provides material for a lengthy discussion about what the line really means for consumers anymore. The limited recurring "40 for 40" segment re-visits the tumultuous year of 2020 before the regular "Bragging Rights" segment brings the episode to a close.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #362 "Devastation Part Deux"
Devastation Part Deux - Episode 362 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast begins with the cast sharing their thoughts about the just-revealed 2025 Generations Age of the Primes lineup, opining about both the fully revealed Megatronus and the partially revealed Liege Maximo from the side of the packaging - plus, a mystery Prime. After that, the Studio Series 86 Devastator gets time in the spotlight given its recent full gray model reveal, plus first releases Bonecrusher and Scrapper. A plethora of other new Studio Series releases is also looked at, including Galvatron, again, before the team engages in some Wildocking. The limited recurring "40 for 40" segment stops by 2019 before the episode finishes up in its usual fashion with the crew sharing their most recent Transformers toy acquisitions in Bragging Rights.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #361 "Doppelganger"
Doppelganger - In episode 361 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast, the conversation kicks off with new Walmart G1 Retro releases of Bumblebee and Gears, which feature modern Deluxe Class toys in packaging that homages the characters' '80s releases. The crew then takes on recently revealed Transformers crossovers with Naruto and Star Wars’ The Mandalorian. The discussion moves to in-hand impressions of Studio Series 86 Commander Class Optimus Prime, which two cast members have acquired. Everyone offers their choice for 40 for 40 - our limited segment where each cast member chooses their favorite release from a given year from the last 40 years of the franchise - this year, it’s 2018. The episode wraps up as it usually does with a round of Bragging Rights.
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.

NEW! Ok, so there is A LOT to get through. Hasbro is making China's Cybertron Con the place to be for reveals and exclusives. Here is what we have to share with you so far: - The exclusive SS Commander Class Optimus Prime turns out to be the regular release in a new box with an exclusive sticker sheet that lets you make him as show accurate or toy accurate as you want, with 4 different pair of chest windows.

NEW! We have a (blurry) look Age of the Primes commander class Superion and titan class Star Convoy revealed. Though not great images, these are our first look at the toys. They are screenshots of a leaked Hasbro Pulse video. So that means we should be getting our first good and full look soon. Star Convoy has the typical chest so he isn't the same look we saw on AOTP Megatronus' box. JT Prime 17 said that this titan class figure should cost $40 less than this year's titan, but the price is yet to - Read More

A properly colored version of the prototype/test shot of Age of the Primes voysger Red Alert has appeared on Baidu: No view of the head here, it's probably still missing (like the uncoloured test shot seen previously) but could just be hidden by the chest panel being flipped - Read More

We have rumours for some 2025 exclusives coming from WreckGar and JTPrime. As stated, these are RUMOURS and may not all come to pass. Target will have a 2 pack with Animated Nemesis Prime from the Legacy Animated Optimus Prime mold ( the image in the thumbnail is a digibash) and Horribull from the Titans Return Skullcruncher mold. The code for that set is G1374. There will be NFL crossover projects but very little is known at this point. There will be a selects G2 Dinobot 2 pack of - Read More

We have some sad news to share with the Seibertron community tonight. Morgan Lofting, who voiced Moonracer in the G1 cartoon, has passed away at the age of 84, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter. Ms. Lofting unexpectedly passed away at her home in California on Wednesday November 27th, the day before Thanksgiving (in the U.S.), said her agents. While she was known to the Transformers community as the voice of Moonracer (and possibly Firestar), one of her biggest roles was that as the - Read More

It’s a Missing Link extravaganza. We have new images of Transformers Missing Link Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Sunstreaker, and Cordon. For the last 2, this is our first stock images of them. As for the minibots, these are in hand images from TF fan Throwaway. They show how articulated the figures are along with their - Read More

We have even more images of Prima coming to us from Baidu. While one shows the body with the head, the others have a random Megatron head as substitute to show the articulation and scale. We also see how some of the joints work with the arms being attached to the clear plastic - Read More

Cybertron Con 2024 will be happening December 6th to December 9th at the World Expo Creative Show Club building in Shangai. This is where we are expected to get quite a few Transformers reveals. Apparently, there will be exclusives too, though everything is very vague right now. The hint at exclusives are all due to images popping up of new exclusive packaging for SS 86 Commander Optimus Prime, Masterpiece Brawl and Legacy Magmatron. It is unknown how much the figures themselves are different - Read More

Reading any message board will show that while fans love the Transformers brand and celebrate it, they are often unhappy with how certain aspects are handled. And what usually follows is how it might be better if the brand was handled by someone else. Well, how about Elon Musk? On one of his recent rants, he showed major displeasure towards Hasbro's apparent disregard for the creators of Dungeons and Dragons in the 40th anniversary making of DnD book. He then followed that by "How much is - Read More

After getting images of headless test samples of Transformers Age of the Primes Prima, we finally have a test shot that includes the head. It first showed up on on Baidu. Unlike the body, which was inspired by the Alligned Continuity design, the head is an homage to a character from the G1 Episode, "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4". This character was known as "Powerful Robot" and shared Cyclonus' body, but was later retconned to be "G1" Prima. Now we know that there are at least 2 different - Read More

Via @CsbiaoO_ again, here are some new pictures of the AOTP Armada Red Alert test shot, giving us our first look at the figure in robot mode (still minus the head). He's shown standing next to Legacy United Silverbolt (Voyager) and next to the AOTP Prima test shot, so this also gives us a relative size reference for them. Quite a difference given that they're both listed as Voyager class in the waves leak! The original images come from - Read More

Via @CsbiaoO_, we have even more images of Prima, this time focusing on their alt mode. The view from the side shows us that it is more functional than some fans thought, with rolling wheels. It ends up being more along the lines of what we’d see from a Cybertronian Ironhide or Ratchet alt mode. The front of the truck appears to be mistransformed though with a panel for the bumper not properly lifted. But that’s just a guess. Now that we have a better look at the altmode, let us know if - Read More

Hasbro is going through massive changes. Brian Goldner’s vision was of Hasbro becoming a multimedia company, big on brand content, like Disney. However, the corporate vision has changed since Chris Cocks became the CEO. Since the film division was not working out (several of their bigger investments were not profitable, including Transformers One), it was sold and now we have confirmation from Bloomberg that Hasbro will stop investing in films, Transformers or otherwise. For us fans, that - Read More

Via @CsbiaoO_, we now have images of the colour version of the Prima prototype we previously saw. Now we see that the chest does indeed open up to store a matrix. We also have a shot at the alt mode (kinda), which would be a cybertronian vehicle truck similar to Kup. We also have an image of a test shot of Armada Red Alert, coming within the same line. Unlike what many fans feared, it is a fully new mold AND it has a minicon port, which can be spotted around the back of the vehicle. We - Read More

Rassoul Edji was one of the lead VFX designers on Rise of the Beasts, and is responsible for, among other things, the head face and battle mask of Optimus Prime. He took to Twitter to discuss at length about the process and studio notes he received from Paramount, including how the film was meant to be a soft prequel to the 2007 movie. Read on for all the info. I modelled the head, face, and battle mask for Optimus Prime for #Transformers ROTB. I also designed his new "centurion" open - Read More
