Ahem. This episode of the Twincast finds the crew returning to our recent toy roots with another dive into classics and now driving the bus to henkei-land where a brand new way of collecting 'the best of the best' began. We also look into thee, for some, new Siege Leader Optimus Prime, and talk about the current comic series with possible spoilers from issue #5.
Episode #223 "Symmetrical Docking" is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
Here's the list of what we banter about:
- CP and TT have SIege Leader Optimus Prime in-hand. Should ScottyP cancel his order and send it back to where it came from or is it a worthy piece to add to the collection? Also, how does one get around specifically targeted stores that hold to street dates (like has been found to happen with this bad boy).
- Takara Tomy Binaltech talk for a hot second.
- Botcon 2007's collector's set and convention exclusives - the betrayal or ultimate kindness - you gave us complete seeker sets - and many of us hated you for it.
- Takara Tomy Henkei takes collecting your classics to a whole new level. Is the chrome just shiny fluff, or do some of these represent ultimate versions of your classics toys? And what about those store exclusives and KOs?
- Hasbro Universe 2.0 - Onslaught and Silverbolt - Combiner leaders that don't combine - Are the individual characters enough to warrant this type of release?
- And.... CYCLONUS - Just the best new figure in a long time? How does it hold up now?
Prowl, Hound, Ironhide, Ratchet, Jetfire, Grapple, Inferno, and Galvatron (the supposed to be voyager that had a third walking tank mode planned). Sure was a mixed bag... and we didn't even talk about Cheetor or Dinobot. - Transformers (the bold new era) Issue #5 came out. The three chatter-bots discuss their favorite moments so far, and what they think might be developing in further plots...SPOILERS ARE PRESENT for those avoiding, and there's a review of it, too. This is approximately 1:24 - 1:39 on the time.
- Braggers Brag, but they have rights, too. And we brag a little bit about our recent-ish purchases.
One of these is the IRONFIST that ScottyP is talking about...and one is not even close.
