This week on the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast, host Scotty P is joined by Megatronus, Aaarnhide19, and Kuhlio to attack the most controversial of topics - is "Lio" pronounced like Mario's green suited brother, or like Simba the majestic Lion. There's other fun stuff awaiting, like imaginary reissues and chat about Missing Link Arcee before the full reveal even happened. Just don't expect Toy Fair coverage of any sort, we definitely forgot it was even happening.

Episode #370 “Leo, Lio” 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:

Death Cobra has been unlocked for the HasLab Liokaiser.
T-Spark 40th Selection Lio Convoy has been delayed.
Black Repaints invade the MPG Line with Nucleon Quest Super Convoy and Silver Rathos from the Monster Hunter Cross Over.
At the time of discussion there was a Missing Link. The cast discuss the new Arcee and Dramatic Capture Origin 3 Pack based on only their teaser image reveals.
Reissues of Prowl and Trailbreaker spark discussion on what else should be re-issued.
Finally, bragging rights finishes up this episode.

I'd default to the I-O instead of the E-O pronunciation. Not because I care a whole lot, but because of the katakana on his Japanese name: ライオカイザー Raiokaizā

If it was the other way, it would be written リイオカイザ

Again...I don't care. It's just IF I were going to press the point, I'd base it on this.

^ Yep, fair. My brain sees lion-faced combiner, "leo" comes out of the mouth. Also agreed that it ain't no big deal, "lye-oh" just feels harsh to pronounce and listen to in English when it gets emphasis, imo.
