The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is back to discuss the latest news out of San Diego Comic Con and PulseCon 2025 panels. Your host ScottyP is joined by Counterpunch, Kuhlio, and Megatronus to drink from the SDCC firehose, and decide what collaborations are hot (wheels) and what's not MOTU be.

Episode #380 “SDCC 2025” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Here's what we discuss in this episode:

• We begin - and spend the bulk of our time - discussing the Age of the Primes and Studio Series reveals, including combiner team members, Primes, TF:One, and Bayverse. But one reveal in particular is SURE to please:
  
  
  
  
  
• Beyond Titan Age of Extinction Grimlock, the biggest surprise came in the smallest package: a mini-con Star Saber team packaged in with an Armada Nemesis Prime. He seems a bit blue.
  
  
  
  
  
• We didn't expect to love the freshly announce Hot Wheels collaboration, and the potential for new ideas this crossover represents. We did, however, expect the MOTU costume party to fall flat.
  
  
  
  
  
• An honorable mention for the G1 Retro Brawn, and especially the new mold of Seaspray.
  
  
  
  
  
• We wrap up the episode as we always do, with a robust round of Bragging Rights.
