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.

We got images of early production test shots for some Transformers figures lately and one popped up of Tarn's body with no head and a new sword, on Chinese social media. This has fueled the idea that this is Legacy Bludgeon's test shot. Now it is unclear if this is a work in progress type test shot or a pre production line one, meaning that we don't know if this represents the amount of retooling Bludgeon will have over Tarn but there is now a possibility that this indicates the retooling could - Read More

Hasbro literally flipped the script on the idea of one steps in the Transformers Rise of the Beasts line with the idea of "energon bands". It's a different type of transformation where elements of the toy become all loose and reconnect into the alt mode (and vice versa). While a new take on the fast conversion idea, it removes any articulation one steps may have had and adds the need to lock in, which young kids (those targeted with these) may find not as obvious. These have been out for a - Read More

Coming in hot this Tuesday morning, we have some big news to share-literally! Legacy Titan Class Nemesis is finally revealed in all her purple glory. Via an article on IGN, we get several official product shots, showcasing the largest Decepticon toy and female Transformer ever produced. According to the article, she stands right around 23 1/2 inches, which puts her a couple of inches taller than Earthrise Scorponok (and his Black Zarak retool). She's shown in ship mode as well, faithfully - Read More

So it turns out the insect legs on Legacy Shrapnel, which can double as blasters, are not symetrical. They are instead two slightly different molds with distinct numbers molded onto them and the chance for them to be mismatched is possible since they look almost identical (just like how few people initially noticed that their POTP voyager Elita 1 feet were missassembled). The review below from Chuckdawg1999 highlights what a metched set looks like and the numbered combinations for a matched - Read More

We have images of 2 interesting generations type toys that have just been leaked onto the internet. Both these figures are either in production or undergoing review in China, which is when we get leaks like on this site. However, unlike the Prime toys we previously posted, one of these isn't as far along in production. Below you will see images of a the Siege Megatron toy in a miner deco (like when he was chilling with his buddy Impactor in the café) as well as what is believed to be the - Read More

Big day for Transformers fans thanks to the reveals at Cinemacon.

Well, looks like the Rise of the Beasts film is leaving no surprises for the film, putting Unicron right at the centre of this new trailer as the main antagonist, rather than Scourge. We also finally have a look at Nightbird in action and the army of Scorponoks. There is a severe lack of Maximals in robot mode though. We also have a new poster to share with you of the whole team of good guys except for Wheeljack (who does have fins in the - Read More

There will be a new trailer tomorrow for Transformers Rise of the Beasts, and to tease it, Paramount has released a teaser made up of an avengers type dolly shot of all the heroes lining up. While it's very brief, it does give us our first look at Wheeljack in the actual film as he is featured prominently in this shot. While it made sense for the marketing to show the Maximals in their beast modes, highlighting the novelty in this movie, this shot makes it seem like their beast modes are indeed - Read More

Well, we had warned everyone thinking the Rise of the Beasts film was a full on reboot to temper their expectations since we never had a public confirmation using those words. After all, Hasbro and Paramount are not throwing out their Billion dollar universe away. However, the info we had provided was just an analysis on what was shown, not an actual confirmation, but we have one now, coming from the main producer of the movie no less. In a lengthy interview with Collider, we see what the - Read More

Something rather interesting in the Rise of the Beasts line is how it offers alternatives to the Studio Series line, or vice versa, since all toys are coming out all at once, unlike what was originally planned. For those curious, we have review for the deluxe Bumblebee which is available in a Target exclusive 3 pack and sold on its own. We also have comparison images between that Bumblebee and the SS 100 ROTB Bumblebee, its counterpart in the Studio Series line. Knowing that both are - Read More
