Velocitron Rush - The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast presents episode 303 which begins with thoughts on the recently revealed Transformers Collaborative product Tonkanator, a mash-up between the Transformers and Tonka toy construction vehicle brand. After a related listener question, discussion shifts gears to recently uncovered store listings that provide information on Transformers Generations toys likely to be released in 2023, including a Voyager Tarn and Leader Class Skyquake. Impressions of the now-officially-revealed Legacy Velocitron sub-line come next, with thoughts shared on upcoming toys such as Road Rocket and Cosmos. The Walgreens exclusive Minerva takes a beating before the cast trips over SG Slicer and his companion Weaponizer Exo-Suit. In-hand impressions are shared of the just-released MPG-01 Shouki from Takara Tomy's Masterpiece Gattai lineup. Listeners questions prompt some discussion on Rise of the Beasts, Earthspark and other Transformers fiction before the episode wraps up with Bragging Rights.

Fire on the Mountain - The 302nd episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast begins with analysis and impressions of the now-fully revealed Masterpiece MP-57 Skyfire coming next year from Takara Tomy. The MP combiner project for Raiden has also had its third member revealed and made available for preorders with MPG-03 Yukikaze, so it comes up next in the discussion. After that, thoughts about other recently revealed upcoming toys are shared with both the Transformers x GI Joe Collaborative Bumblebee A.W.E. Striker with Stalker and the Legacy Velocitron Blurr, inspired by early IDW Publishing designs, under the microscope. Initial impressions from the first wave of Super7's Ultimates non-transforming figures comes next, accompanied by opinions on the just-announced fourth wave. A listener question prompts a lengthy discussion about the phenomenon of "collecting fatigue" as the cast searches for solutions before the episode concludes with the recurring Bragging Rights segment.

New Galleries: Beast Wars Returns Megahead Megatron, Noble Savage and Jetstorm

Beast Machined - Here's a blast from the past! Check out these new galleries from the Beast Wars Return toy line. This line was Takara's 2005 run of Beast Machines, which was sold exclusively at Toys R Us stores in Japan. Beast Wars Return featured many extensive "show-accurate" decos (though debatable) of the primary characters from the Beast Machines cartoon. The new galleries below feature Megahead Megatron, Noble Savage and Vehicon Jetstorm who are redecos of RID Megatron Megabolt, Beast Machines Beast Changer (aka Savage Noble) and Beast Machines Ultra Class Jetstorm.

Mistaken Identity - Episode 301 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast starts out with listener questions, beginning with one about collection displays and how to upgrade them. Theoretical, multiversal teams of Transformers characters are discussed next as answers to the second question. The last pair of questions relate to the potential future of combiner characters in the Generations lineup, starting with thoughts about torso design in light of the upcoming Menasor before landing on six character combiner teams like Monstructor. Leaked video reviews of upcoming Walmart exclusive Generations Legacy toys for Black Convoy (or Scourge) and Cybertron Override prompt reaction from the cast. Hasbro's own video tour through the upcoming Haslab Victory Saber project spark some further discussion before the episode concludes with the typical, recurring Bragging Rights segment.

Listen in to hear about the origins of the new story, details on the characters within and much more. Toy discussion topics with the regular cast of the show follow, starting out with a look at the upcoming Masterpiece Trailbreaker toy. Amazon's exclusive Wreck 'n Rule collection comes up next with all the reveals and preorders having hit throughout the week for toys such as Impactor, G2 Leadfoot, Springer, Twin Twist, Mr. Bones and another incarnation of Bulkhead that no one wanted. A brief chat about the new Studio Series figures headed our way leads into a talk about LEGO, who officially unveiled an Optimus Prime set that has fans buzzing. More toy repaint talk, a listener question about a hypothetical end of all Transformers comics and then bragging rights follow, but that's not the end of this one. For this special 300th episode, we dive deep into our memories and storage bins to figure out what our 300th most favorite Transformers is and why.

The Rumoured SS Laserbeak Turns out to be a Bumblebee Pre-Deco

Posted 22 hours ago by william-james88 - 10,119 views

On September last year, we gave you a preliminary list of case assortments for 2022's Transformers Studio Series line. You ca find it HERE. While wave assortments slightly changed for which figures would get repacked, it gives us a good idea of what is left to be seen in 2022. One of those was core class Laserbeak. Many assumed it would be a robotic bird of some kind, as we saw in the films, but no. Instead it turns out to be based on when Laserbeak turned into a pink Bumblebee toy. Takara - Read More

MP-57 Masterpiece Skyfire / Jetfire Review Shows a Different Scale Interpretation than Siege Line

Posted 1 day ago by william-james88 - 12,959 views

A few of you have written in letting us know of a video review for Transformers MP-57 Masterpiece Skyfire / Jetfire. This is from Wotafa, a Japanese reviewer, who was given a copy by Takara. The review of, of course, in Japanese, but it gives us a detailed look at all that this toy brings to the table. What might be most important though are the comparison shots since it shows that how MP Jetfire scales with the Autobots and Decepticons is different than how Hasbro interpreted the scale in the - Read More

This little bugger is a fun surprise. Prime vs Prime just uploaded images of the previously never before seen Core class Studio Series 86 Ratchet. This is technically the first time we get a SS 86 character at this smaller scale (not class, scale), though you can surely mix him with the Legacy and Kingdom core class figures. What is most interesting about this news is that these official images are out there, somewhere. Maybe it's in preperaton for the SDCC reveals, meaning that it would be - Read More

Kotobukiya Teases Bishoujo Bumblebee as Optimus Prime Pre-Orders Open

Posted 2 days ago by Emerje - 13,659 views

The figure line that sees Autobots and Decepticons transform in an entirely different way is teasing a third figure to joint Optimus Prime and Megatron. Kotobukiya announced over on Twitter that Bumblebee will soon be added to the lineup in what appears to be a horned hoody and shorts? It's hard to make out much from the simple silhouette, but Koto knows their fanbase (as evident by comments on Twitter and MFC) so she'll likely have an appealing design. Meanwhile pre-orders have - Read More

Posted 2 days ago by william-james88 - 19,849 views

While we knew these were coming through a list of rumours from reputable sources, we now have the product listings from Walmart for the three leader class Transformers toys coming out in the Studio Series line. They are 86 Snarl, ROTB Scourge and ROTB Primal. Remember, these are meant to be in scale and Primal should be the same size as Prime in this rendition, so expect him to be similarly sized as the previous Studio Series Optimus Primes with some additional accessories. We do not know how - Read More

First Look at Transformers MP 48 + Black Lio Convoy

Posted 2 days ago by william-james88 - 16,131 views

The Beast Wars Masterpiece line has returned with a black repaint of MP 48 Lio Convoy. Unlike previous evil Convoy black redecos in the MP line, Black Lio Convoy is an actual show character from the Beast Wars II anime. In fact, he was the first Black Convoy, with black, grey and teal as a deco. This release, MP-48+ Black Lio Convoy, is however based on the Toysrus exclusive toy from 1998 and not the show. That's because the show had a black mane on a grey body while all Black Lio Convoy toys, - Read More

New Transformers Studio Series Nest Voyager Figure Coming

Posted 5 days ago by william-james88 - 30,670 views

Thanks to Voltrace and JTPrime17, we can share with you a new listing from Target's database. The listings states "Transformers Bumblebee Gen SS Voy Nest 2" with an MSRP of $33.99. Another form of the listing shrinks the "Bumblebee" to just "BB" which is what has been used for Studio Series figures like Brawn and Wheeljack. So this means it would be a voyager class figure (this means a voyager price point, the size could be anything as we now know) with a Nest type deco of a character/mold from - Read More
