Twincast / Podcast #185 "Carnage in Troja Major"

Carnage in Troja Major - Welcome to the latest Twincast/Podcast Mainframes episode featuring Lost Light Issues 8 and 9 discussed in-depth by the team, with full spoliers of each issue to be expected within. We discuss whether the book is getting back on track to the main story from More Than Meets The Eye, how this issue develops characters and relationships, and some of the more obscure breadcrumbs being left for future stories by James Roberts. We examine the pacing and parallels in the books and how plot threads are converging to the climax, and what the implications of that climax are. The main plot involving characters Velocity and Nautica in their attempt to revive the deceased Skids is looked at from a visual storytelling perspective, as well as through other means of analysis. Anode and Lug's continuing adventures are also discussed, with some of the cast finding a purposeful "heel" nature being used in their characterization. The mysterious Flame and his presumed leader Scorponok come up as well, with Lost Light's overall mytharc being furthered by their appearances in these issues. Before the episode ends, the cast also speculates on the upcoming action aboard the Lost Light as we see where the mutineers, lead by Getaway, have gone and where the story heads next.

The Search For Alpha Trion - In the latest episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast, "The Search For Alpha Trion", the latest Transformers Generations Power of the Primes products revealed at Hascon 2017 are analyzed in depth. This starts out with a look at the upcoming new versions of the popular Dinobots; Grimlock, Slag, Snarl, Swoop, Sludge, and newcomer Slash. The cast discusses their initial impressions of each figure, and also debates the merits of the combining feature as it relates to this team of characters. The Leader Class Evolution Orion Pax to Optimus Prime toy is talked about next, with a focus on the "evolution" feature allowing the smaller Pax robot to transform into the larger Prime. Revealed products from the Saturday night Hasbro VIP and Hall of Fame Dinner were also on the agenda, including Leader Class Optimus Primal, Voyager Class Hun-Grrr, and Deluxe Class entries Rippersnapper and Moonracer. IDW Publishing's upcoming plans for Unicron in their Transformers and Hasbro Universe comics is also discussed, with recent releases such as First Strike, Optimus Prime #10, and Lost Light #9 having quick analysis after that. The episode wraps up with a listener question about the potential for reissues of toys from the Transformers: Animated series as it approaches its tenth anniversary.
