Twincast / Podcast Episode #370 "Leo, Lio"

Twincast / Podcast Episode #370 "Leo, Lio"

Leo, Lio - Episode 370 of the Siebertron.com Twincast Podcast opens with a conversation about the latest Transformers HasLab, Liokaiser, meeting the Tier 1 milestone of 13,000 backers to unlock the exclusive Death Cobra figure. Following that excitement, the cast discusses the delay of the Takara Tomy's 40th Selection Lio Convoy due to major factory misassembly. Next, the episode moves to redecos, including the MPG Nucleon Quest Convoy and the Monster Hunter crossover Silver Rathalos Prime. In other news, Missing Link Arcee and a Dramatic Capture Series 3-pack featuring Origins Bumblebee, Jazz, and Wheeljack are in the offing, and the crew has thoughts. This is followed by the question: "if you could reissue one toy, what would it be and why?" The cast's answers range from big to small to spite. The episode ends as it always does, with a round of bragging rights, where everyone on the show highlights the toys or other Transformers products they've acquired since the last episode.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #369 "Gattai-Funding"

Twincast / Podcast Episode #369 "Gattai-Funding"

Gattai-Funding - It’s time once again for the Seibertron Twincast Podcast to take an in depth look at the latest Transformers Haslab. The reveal of a Haslab Liokaiser combiner as well as the first Deathcobra toy starts the discussion with the group providing their opinion on the potential upcoming figure as well as its crowdfunding goals and tiers. Toy discussion continues with looks at upcoming Age of the Primes Heatwave and Skybyte releases. Hearts of Steel exclusives that were also revealed by the brand team are talked about next, followed by Earthspark Deluxe Class figures of Soundwave and Hashtag, as well as the gimmick toy Swapticon line. Bragging Rights closes the show with each cast member sharing their most recent Transformers related product acquisitions.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #368 "Paint by Numbers"

Twincast / Podcast Episode #368 "Paint by Numbers"

Paint by Numbers - A catch-up on Transformers toy news items is in order for episode 368 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast, beginning with the Generations Selects Titan Class redeco of Trypticon. In-hand images from one of the designers of the smaller upcoming Titan Star Convoy prompt more discussion on that before several smaller releases are talked about, including an Amazon 2-pack and several Studio Series items such as Age of Extinction Optimus Prime and Que from Dark of the Moon. Takara Tomy's revealed items from a recent T-Spark themed event are next, with AMT Predaking, Missing Link Arcee and MPG Nucleon Quest Convoy analyzed. Kotobukiya's upcoming Optimus Prime girl model kit is next up in the chat, with MPG Rattrap leading in to Bragging Rights, which conclude the episode.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #367 "2024 Year in Review"

Twincast / Podcast Episode #367 "2024 Year in Review"

2024 Year in Review - Episode 367 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast is the first show of 2025, but it provides a lookback at the best and worst of 2024 in our annual superlatives episode. The show begins with the best Transformers toy of the year, objectively - independent of any sentimental value or emotional connection, what toy takes the top spot? This is followed by the subjective best toy of the year from the main collector lines (i.e. Legacy, Studio Series, Masterpiece) as well as choices for favorite toy outside the mainstream. The show pivots slightly to favorite media of the year, and the cast is torn between Transformers ONE and the Studio Trigger 40th Anniversary PV. We take a turn for the worst - worst toy of the year, that is, followed by the worst of anything else that isn't a toy. The cast ends this 2024 look-back with a look inward at their greatest collecting achievement of the year. As we do every year, the Twincast makes two predictions: each cast member makes an obvious prediction, alongside a prediction that is much more of a reach. We end the episode with our regular bragging rights segment, where each cast member reviews what they've acquired since the last episode.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #366 "Swap Meet"

Twincast / Podcast Episode #366 "Swap Meet"

Swap Meet - The final 2024 episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast starts out with a speculative discussion about the leaked upcoming Swapticons which, in the presence of sparse actual information, evolves into a deeper look at the appeal of the Transformers brand for younger audiences and its place in the current media landscape. After that, a listener question about Pretenders sparks a look back at that gimmick of the past, with forward thoughts about how it could possibly be revived for today's market. The final installment of "40 for 40" has the crew looking back to the recent history of 2023 before the regular recurring "Bragging Rights" segment closes the show with the cast sharing their most recent Transformers toy and product acquisitions.

Transformers Swapticons found in Canada + Video Review Showcasing Gimmick

Posted 2 days ago by william-james88 - 12,124 views

The Transformers Swapticons fidget toyline has been found in Walmarts across Canada. They retail for $9.97 CAD. While they are sold under the Transformers brand, they are more fidget toys than they are transformers, and have a lower age range (5 years old), so that's what they should be seen and judged as. These have been purchased by me, your news editor, and they work very well for what they are intended to be. Both my 2 year old and 7 year old really like them. Though the locking - Read More

In Hand Images of Walmart Exclusive Retro Bumblebee and Gears Show Changes to Packaged Look and Comparisons

Posted 8 days ago by william-james88 - 41,935 views

Some collectors were looking forward to adding the Retro Gears and Bumblebee to their mint in box collection since one of the ways these toys are going for a retro look is the packaging. However, it turns out that even though they are in a plastic bubble, the Gears toy will still have the chest piece detached. This is different than the mock up of the packaging we saw and is still being used on Walmart's site. The in hand images do give us our best look yet at the finished products. They come - Read More

Coming to us from Collider and Toyark at the 2025 Toy Fair, we have the big reveal of the Cyberworld line. The line is for a young audience with very limited articulation.
