Do you like repaints? Do you dislike repaints? How about villains? Seekers? Clones? The color red? Eh. Just listen to this episode with ScottyP, Megatronus, Rotorstorm and Tigertrack as host ScottyP hands out repaints for everyone!

"You get a repaint, and YOU get a repaint, and Yooouuu get a repaint! Everyone gets a repaint!" One lucky random podcast host also gets a new shiny red, super-charged Lamborghini!

Time to get your listen on.

Episode #249 “It's Repaints” 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.

Here's what's discussed in this episode:
- Seekers and clones and Target Villains... Oh my! Target Earthrise Exclusives in box images show some expected goodness in Skywarp and Thundercracker versions of ER Starscream and a two-pack of the same allegiance clones with Pounce and Wingspan (in Takara colors (YES, we're sure now).


-SG MP Tigertrack is a thing! No not really, but the beautiful red Diaclone Sunstreaker is! MP Spinout is amazing and a total surprise! Even though it is a mall exclusive, preorders are already live on Hasbropulse and other wonderful online stores.


-And finally, we end the conversation with discussion of yet another movie teased, but this time it's ANIMATED and directed by Josh Clooney, a known name in the realm of Disney Pixar.


We hope you enjoy this episode, and William James, please don't hate us!

A Starscream's crown falling off? Can't say I've had that happen, but I did only just get a crown.

Cybertronian Villains being a theme with the Cyberverse toys too is pretty neat, nice to see this sort of cross branding for exclusives.

Claire, I fully feel that Seeker burnout. I'm tired of them too. I just want the coneheads, Hotlink, and maybe the other few named ones left, and then put them to rest.

I now really want to call Spinout SG Tigertrack.

There was a club story that made Spinout the cook, it was the Toxic Transformer one for Toxitron back in the combiner days of Thunder Mayhem. He took over after the 48 bots in front of him were killed in the chain of command.

I'm surprised Cordon hasn't gone on sale, I haven't noticed any price drops from him at all.

The amount of people I have seen who think the new movie is related to Transformers Animated on first reading only to find out, disappointedly, that it is something entirely separate as a prequel is astounding. I haven't seen a lot of excitement for this movie, it seems the prequel stuff has just tired everyone out.

No joke, I saw a dude flipping out on a Facebook group last week about Unicron updates. He was ranting about cancelling the credit card payment and getting his money back (he bought 5). It was hilarious to watch.

I'm glad some of you have found the Netflix bots! They were not at my local walmart last week, but hopefully they'll be here soon, then I can cancel my Hotlink.

Thank you to all of your for the great weekly content!
