(0:5:38)

We've now seen more images of toys for the upcoming TF4 movie line. Dare we say another round of fast action battling action! See what the crew thinks of these new figures.



(7:50)

Next up we discuss the new leader of the decepticons..err I mean the new Platimum Edition Year of the Horse Starscream!



And who can say no to a clear Prime trailer?




(13:34)
Star Saber was announced as the winner of the Takara Tomy Masterpiece Fan's Choice. Is anyone surprised by this annoucement? Some of us aren't and are pretty excited about the news!




(20:06)
Ahh Calvin Johnson, the star of the Detroit Lions. Ever wonder how you could become Megatron and the hero of your football team? Well all you need to do is drop $550 for a set of shoes (oh oh and a bonus toy!) See what the twincast thinks and see if this will be making it into your collection.

Oohhh look at all the purple

(26:03)
The new Transformers Cloud figures have been revealed, how are you feeling about these figures so far? I'm feeling a bit nostalgic with Megatron being a tank (editor's note: Rotorstorm just got Counterpunched into buying the GDO G2 Colors).




(31:24)
Switching topics now to some new issues of the IDW comics that have come out. Dark Cybertron Issues 2, 3 and 4 have hit and we'll talk about our thoughts so far and where we think it will go from here.


Regeneration 1 Issue 96 has also hit. What's your opinion, Yay or Nay?




(51:08)
Don't we all just love movie reveals! Some plot details have surfaced confirming that TF4 is a soft reboot.

...and we also get to see a pretty cool image of Prime in robot mode on the from cover of EMPIRE magazine.

(1:00)
In this episode we take a few listener questions about the total number of people that could be in the fandom worldwide to the most epic question of the night, is awesomesauce and man-gravy the same thing!?! The world may never know... (thanks mooncake623 and Kibble!).

(1:31)
The Twincast crew closes out the night with the braggin' rights, which is just chock full of Kreo goodness!

Thanks everyone for listening and we appreciate the continued support! Don't forget to keep the discussion going on the Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums!

You know, I'd been wondering why the Year of the Horse toys haven't included a bunch of slight Mach Kick repaints to finally give us the lost Thoroughbred Corps. Sure we didn't get any new Quickstrike, Cohrada, or Night Viper in the Year of the Snake, but none of those molds have precedents for army buildin'...do they?

Then again, if that toy suffered any remolding comparable to Ultra Mammoth's, the resulting reissue could be a total disaster.

I think it'd be really neat to do a box set of repainted Beast Wars figures in Chinese Zodiac sets.

I'll gladly take a Beast Wars Ox or a Cow mold along with a Rooster. Come up with some awesome color schemes for these guys, give them new names if desired, and I'd be a pretty happy Transformers fan.

The link for "new figures" doesn't seem to be working properly. It takes me to an ERROR 404 page.

Thanks for pointing that out! Fixed it up - one typo broke the whole link.

That episode was awesomegravy! You're welc...I mean, thanks.

This episode was awesome sauce. It's 10 degrees out and I just made some man gravy. If you'll excuse me I have to now go change my shorts because this show just made my legs split and open my matrix! Talk about lighting my darkest hour!
