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.
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.

All through October Big Bad Toy Store has been celebrating their 25th anniversary with a month of weekly exclusives ending on the 25th. There have been silhouettes teasing some obvious Super7 ReAction figures for today in the even more obvious shapes of Unicron and Grimlock on the site all month. The reveal is at once disappointing and intriguing. Grimlock is the same metallic Grimlock that was revealed this week as part of the regular retail line while Unicron is the same figure released - Read More

Feels like forever ago that we first fond out about Hasbro and Walmart's next batch of cartoon colored G1 reissues, but the day has finally come! As part of Walmart's latest Collector Con orders have finally opened for Optimus Prime and Bombshell with Ramhorn. People concerned about the pricing of Prime with his trailer in particular will be happy to know that he's priced at $75, that's quite the contrast to the 2018 reissue of just Prime without the trailer that was $50 on its own!

Today Hasbro gave us our first look at the upcoming Transformers Collaborative STAR WARS: The Mandalorian N-1 Starfighter! Interestingly, unlike other Collaborative releases that gave the figure a new name Hasbro decided to go old school and do what they did with the preview Star Wars crossover line and simply gave the name of the character it looks like and the alt mode. In this case the box simply states it's the Mandalorian and the N-1 Starfighter. The MSRP is $55, a little more than other - Read More

Super 7 will have a reveal today for 6 new figures and this will probably be one of them. Found through Diamond by Crazybarkz, we have our first good look at what appears to be Diaclone Devastator. What makes him Diaclone as opposed to G2 is the fact that not all Constructicons are yellow. We have an image of the artwork for the original Diaclone figure for you to compare. The other reveals we should get later are Rumble (red) Ghost of Starscream Grimlock Metallic Arcee - Read More

Fans were all in on the new Transformers comic. Not only did it sell very well, by consistently being one of the 10 most sold comics every month, but it also won the highest prizes for comic books. Well after its first year, the comic is now dipping in the sales charts with last month being the first time to not feature in the top 10. And while in previous months it was outselling every DC book, it's no longer the case. To recap the past 3 months, here has been its positioning: 5th best - Read More

A listing had shown up for an Ark Playset from Super 7, the company that makes the ReAction figures. At $75, we couldn't expect too much, but it turns out people had to set their expectations real low. The "Ark" element of the playset is just a piece of carboard for the background, no different than what comes free with Studio Series figures. The bulk of the $75 goes to the Megatron and Optimus figures that come in the set along with the base acting as terrain. This is similar to previous Super - Read 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. Gears is the Legacy toy that we just got with a new toy accurate head while Bumblebee is a rerelease of the Walmart exclusive Netflix toy which keeps that head as this toy so that both can match the looks of the G1 toys Walmart released in 2018.

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
