Twincast / Podcast Episode #354 "Identity Crisis"
Identity Crisis - AMT Rodimus pre-orders have now opened as we kick off Episode 354 of the Twincast Podcast. Our 40 for 40 segment continues as we dive into the year 2011. Cast members Aaarnhide19, Mr. Starscream and xRotorstormx discuss their experience at this year's Botcon which was held June 27-30th in Ft. Wayne, IN. Overwatch 2 is joining in on the collaboration fun with a new game that came out on July 9th, and the cast takes a short few moments to take a look at the trailer for this add-on content. For the next topic, Shattered Glass is back in the latest MPG announcement with Optimus Prime in a now familiar purple, with Jetfire joining in as Tomy Mall exclusives. After that, a look at the Amazon exclusive 2 pack featuring Stormbringer Bludgeon and Ruckus has the crew checking out G1 toy galleries before we close out this episode with another impressive round of bragging rights.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #353 "Fractured Friendship is Magic"
Fractured Friendship is Magic - The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast starts its 353rd episode with commentary on the rumors abounding in regards to the end of the Core Class assortment of Transformers toys. Hasbro's offerings for this year's San Diego Comic Con are discussed next, with the Legacy United "Fractured Friendship" two-pack of Orion Pax and Megatron taking center stage alongside a long-awaited 6" version of Death's Head from the Marvel Legends lineup. The crew reaches 2010 in the limited recurring "40 for 40" segment, with the cast making their favorite selections from an eclectic set of lines like Hunt for the Decepticons. An extended Bragging Rights segment closes out the episode, featuring in-hand thoughts on some newer releases such as the Titan Class Tidal Wave figure.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #352 "Revenge of Buzzsaw"
Revenge of Buzzsaw - Go-bots on store shelves in 2024 proves The Fallen shall indeed rise again in Episode 352 of the Twincast / Podcast. The episode begins with a discussion of not The Man of Iron, but a Comic Edition 2-pack of Xaaron and Flame piquing the interest of the crew. A number of repaints are discussed next with Legacy United Animated Motormaster, Slipstream, and a Leader class Buzzsaw with Soundwave and Rumble accessories being particular standouts. Talk of some disappointing Go-Bots repaints as well as Deluxe G1 not-Missing-Link Prime and Quake then leads into a not so disappointing review of Skybound's Transformers Issue #9. A brief look at a transforming Lego Bumblebee set has the cast wondering how far the line will go before the overcomplicated transformations of 2009 toys get revenge and wreak devastation on the Twincast in this week's "40 for 40" segment. As usual, Bragging Rights brings the show to a close.

Twincast / Podcast Episode #351 "Ask Your Dad"
Ask Your Dad - The Twincast / Podcast starts out episode 351 with quick chat about the fast sell-out of the Hot Wheels version of Optimus Prime. Leaks of a possible Autobot Ark 3 pack as well as new redecos signaling the MPG line being just a rebrand of Masterpiece going forward are discussed. Takara may have defunded Prowl, but also still plans to put out a slew of other new Earthspark figures. The classic "Man of Iron" Transformers UK comic is discussed next giving the cast some alien abduction vibes. Tune in for an in-depth look at one of Transformers' oft-forgotten but highly important foundational works. Next, this episode's installment of the "40 for 40" segment keeps the movie toys coming in 2008, with some major Animated flair. As always, Bragging Rights brings the show to a close.

NEW! The first half of the 2024 box office has been incredibly underwhelming for the movie industry. Films could not even crack the 100M mark domestically. However, with the summer season came two big hits and they both happen to be animated films. We have Inside Out 2 from Disney and Despicable me 4 from Universal and both have been strong right out of the gate, with Inside Out 2 on its way to become the highest grossing animated (looking) film in history, and inside out 2 being on par with - Read More

The street date is August 1st, to have these on the shelf in time for the film coming out a month later, but Meijer broke the street date and are selling both the COG changers (one steps) and Prime changers (deluxes). The case distributions are not standard with different assortments being shipped to different retailers. This particular assortment of Prime changers just - Read More

Another figure we got our first look at during the Shizuoka Hobby Show recently was the extensive repaint of MPM-3 Bumblebee for the new 40th Selection imprint, abbreviated as TF40A (Transformers 40th Anniversary) for reasons only Takara Tomy could answer. TF40A Bumblebee doesn't appear to have any physical modifications but has fixed any and all color issues that the original had. The yellow is darker, the metallics are brighter and the painted details are more accurate. If you have the - Read More

He's priced at 6,600JPY or around $41USD, but will be - Read More

Back at the Shizuoka Hobby Show a few months ago the Transformers figure that seemed to get the most attention was Takara Tomy's new transforming Adamas Machina AMT-01 Rodimus based on Flame Toys' design from the Kuro Kara Kuri line (which itself is built up from his design from the IDW comics) under their new T-Spark banner. Despite being a high end figure based on an official third party design it's proving to be rather affordable. Early speculation placed the figure over $300 considering the - Read More

If you were hoping for God Bomber to be announced soon in the MPG line to accompany God Ginrai, well, the wait continues. Takara Tomy is really front loading 2025 with a heavy amount of repaints in the MPG line by adding a mass retail MPG-12 Shattered Glass Optimus Prime and Takara Tomy Mall exclusive MPG-13 Shattered Glass Jetfire. What's particularly interesting about MPG-13 is Takara Tomy bucking their own trend of not using in-line numbers for exclusives where they previously added letters - Read More
