The Energon Pub

Don't let the shut downs and distancing give you the blues, because the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is here to get you through the rust plague like Rodimus Prime never could. Join Counterpunch, Megatronus, Rotorstorm and Scotty P as they talk at you from more than six feet away about Transformers topics ranging from the new manga reprint to yes, more Earthrise.

Episode #243 “Mega Teeth” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Worn out and weary from a whirlwind weekend of wonderful reveals, here's what we discuss:

• Viz Media's release of Transformers: The Manga Volume 1 has us excited.
  
  
  
  
• The crew that wasn't present last time to talk all about Generations WfC Earthrise takes their turn telling Scotty all the ways his opinions were wrong. We promise this is the last episode with Earthrise wave 1 as a topic.
  
  
  
  
• Bragging Rights show up earlier than experienced listeners may expect!
  

Stay tuned next week as we bring you another episode about comics, cartoons and a certain miniature Inferno.

You know Tom Brady moving to the Bucs is big news when it even gets mentioned on the Twincast Podcast.

I wasn't planning to get any Soundbarriers... but now I want to build a Soundbarrier gaga ball pit for other figures to use.

Cliffjumper is a good example of why I think forward-backward ankle tilts are often better in-practice than side-to-side ones. They aren't as flashy, but they're needed for a lot of poses for figures with big, long feet.

And you guys shouldn't feel bad about this episode. I enjoyed it, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. It was definitely a breath of fresh air after the insanity of the last couple weeks. Can't wait to hear about a certain miniature Inferno next week.

Tom Brady news to me is good news right now, I cannot wait to watch him get DRILLED into the ground!

this manga sounds pretty dang cool, I might add it to my Amazon cart once they start shipping stuff out again.

Glad to have more Earthrise discussion, was glad to hear some more opinions on the figures. didn't convince me to buy the voyagers or leaders, but made me more excited for deluxes. And maybe I'll get more than 1 Soundbarrier.

Ari, at least keep that SS Megatron. The Movie 1 voyager is a really good figure, just keep him.

I need to get Astrotrain too, i keep forgetting about him.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys have in store next week!

I keep hearing this but have yet to have anything sit around unshipped, and it's mostly movies, comics, manga, etc.

I looked at Amazon tonight and ordered 2 things that say they will ship on time, so I personally didn't experience it, but I did have a coworker go to order stuff and Amazon told them it wouldn't ship until towards the end of april, so

The offical word was that anything Fullfilled by Amazon was going out as normal. If the order is coming from an offsite location and sold through Amazon Market place, they were holding orders. They likely don't want to be liable for Joe Blow getting a contaminatwd package from some place they cannot control. Oy.

Now, I am hearing today that they are paring down again and only shipping essential items lime medicine and food, and that supposedly will start into affect on new orders tonight or tomorrow. We shall see.

I got a shipping notice last night for my Ghostbusters comic, but nothing for Cliffjumper yet, so make of that what you will as well
