The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is back at it with your host ScottyP, along with Megatronus and xRotorstormx. With the snooze button pressed on the beasts' rise, this episode endeavors to fill the space on toy shelves for 2022 while also looking at Studio Series and Kingdom toys already set for next year. There's even some Cyberverse discussion related to the most recent special, so tune in, won't you?

Episode #288 “Filler Episode” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher Radio and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Here is what's on the agenda:

• First up, we have some disappointing news out of Hollywood with the announcement that Rise of the Beasts will be delayed until 2022.
  
  
  
  
  
• With the delay in Rise of the Beasts and product most likely sitting in a warehouse, we gaze into our crystal balls to come up with some crazy ideas for a purely imaginary 2022 "filler" toy line.
  
• With no leaks to curtail our excitement, Hasbro revealed the 1st wave of the Studio Series toy line for 2022 with characters from the iconic flashback scene in Transformers: Bumblebee.
  
  
  
  
  
• We finally get to see images of the upcoming Blaster figure for the Kingdom line.
  
  
  
  
  
• Next, Hasbro released the first of two Cyberverse specials directly to their Youtube page.
  
  
  
  
  
• Up next, we have answer a listener question from Mr. MicroMaster on the TF ongoing comic from IDW.
  
  
  
  
  
• Closing out this episode is another earth glass shattering round of bragging rights.
  
  
  

The other night or so I had dream where there was a new episode of the podcast and then I woke up and was like yeah there's a new episode and then I was like wait a sec no that was a dream. Can't wait to give this a listen.

So many things to say on this one, I really need to listen again and take proper notes to respond to it.

I will say this one thing for now though: Cyberverse redeemed Volcanicus. That character finally got a proper fictional display, and honestly, it was a lot cooler than the previous iteration could have hoped to be.

I can see what Scotty means by the dinobots combining losing the purpose of the dino modes, but lest we forget, the Terrorcons are cool only because of the beast and combined mode, and in this case, the Dinobots were still using their dino modes as well as the robot modes and combined mode, they didn't really seem to lose too much with combining.

Do it. Write all the words. Express all the thoughts.

i took notes!... and promptly left them at work.

Later this week!

OK Scotty, can you go into more detail as to why you really don't like the Exarchon story? For me at least, that seems to be the most interesting thing this comic is doing, and we are getting into it even more, and I am actually enjoying that storyline more than the rest
