Twincast / Podcast Episode #268 "Call Me 2020"
Call Me 2020 - On episode 268 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast, the cast begins with a 2020 retrospective, starting with the objectively and subjectively best Transformers of the year - your mileage may vary. Continuing on, the crew carries on with the "most 2020" Transformers moment and the worst Transformers anything of the past year. The cast lightens up the mood with a volley of predictions for 2021, both reasonable very-likely-to-happen predictions as well as predictions that might be considered wishful thinking. Next, the crew talks about the latest installment of the Netflix War for Cybertron trilogy: Earthrise. Specifically, episode 6, which includes plenty of setup for the third and final installment: Kingdom. On a side note, the crew eagerly awaits the Quintesson Drone version of Ironhide that appears in the series. The show moves on to the reveal of Masterpiece Thundercracker, which, while eagerly anticipated, surprised no one, and the crew shares their opinions on the direction the Masterpiece line seems to be taking. As per usual, the podcast ends with a round of bragging rights, where everyone shares what they acquired since the last episode.
New Galleries: Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom WFC-K3 Vertebreak and WFC-K7 Paleotrex
WFC-K3 Vertebreak and WFC-K7 Paleotrex - The next toys from the upcoming Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom line to get the gallery treatment are WFC-K7 Paleotrex and WFC-K3 Vertebreak. Deluxe Class Paleotrex is a Fossilizer, similar in functionality to the Siege Weaponizers (which become accessories and weapons that are compatible with other Transformers). His alternate mode is the fossilized bones of a Tyrannosaurus rex. Core Class Vertebreak, while her alternate mode is a fossilized dinosaur that resembles a Dracorex, is not a Fossilizer. Both figures are part of first wave of War for Cybertron Kingdom products which will be available at brick-and-mortar retail soon and have already begun showing up at online retail.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #267 "Netflix Earthrise Reviewed"
Netflix Earthrise Reviewed - A special episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast brings listeners an in-depth breakdown of the first five episodes of Transformers: War for Cybertron, "Chapter Two: Earthrise". This episode does spoil the content of the Netflix streaming series and listeners need to be aware of this beforehand and may want to consider watching the soon-to-be-released series before listening. The podcast talk goes episode by episode, beginning with the first one which feels like a natural continuation of the previous chapter, "Siege". For the second episode, the Mercenaries group and usage of a Quintesson character are discussed along with their relevance to the plot of the show. The third and fourth episodes introduce split opinions between the cast with varying impressions of the pacing and characters found within the show's middle episodes. A lengthy breakdown of the fifth episode, including some of its possible connections to other much older Transformers media, rounds out the episode-by-episode breakdown. Throughout the podcast as well as at the end, general thoughts on the show's quality, plot, characters, voice acting, voice direction, score, and much more are shared.
New Gallery: War for Cybertron Kingdom WFC-K8 Optimus Primal
WFC-K8 Optimus Primal - Next up to get the Seibertron.com extensive gallery treatment is none other than Kingdom Voyager Class K-8 Optimus Primal. The Maximal leader gets what might arguably be the best representation of him released at regular retail to date. Hasbro and Takara Tomy really outdid themselves with this amazing action figure. While keeping with scale, Optimus Primal is a tad smaller than most Voyagers. However, what he lacks in size he more than makes up with features and posability. In addition to his iconic shaped swords, he also features his shoulder cannons and forearm cannons as well. While his robot mode harkens back to his Beast Wars cartoon look, his beast mode is a more realistic gorilla appearance this time around. It is a fantastic update to a much beloved character.

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian Dominus Prime, we have a video review for you today of a highly anticipated figure, that of DOTM Dino! TonTon Reviews brings us our first full look at this figure. While not a licensed Ferrari, as in the movie (Hasbro doesn't have the license for Ferrari toys), he does transform into a slick sports car mode. He does have a bit of a backpack, and unfortunately, no waist swivel (due to how he transforms), he does have quite a dynamic range of motion for a - Read More

There's another headline I never though I would write. @Jalaguyon Twitter posted some really cool photos. A comic shop in Pennsylvania has found some vintage G1 Transformers costumes from the 80s in a closed warehouse. These are rather involved costumes of Jazz and Thundercracker worn in commercials for theme parks like Great America and for other promotional purposes in the 80s. The same footage from the Great America commercial was also found in OJ Simpson's Pioneer Chicken commercial. You - Read More

While we have had one or two before, there hasn't been a Transformers themed monopoly game available at retail for a while now. Hasbro is of course rectifying that.

We learn that the is UPC: 630509993444 and that it will feature the evergreen designs, which makes sense given the name of these designs. You can see the small image below.
