The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast returns with ScottyP channeling the spirit of J.J. Dillon by summoning his four horsedudes - Counterpunch, Megatronus, Tigertrack, and Rotorstorm - as their plastic visages pave the path for the end times and some world championships of cigarette smoke laden explanations. Grab some nucleon and your Action Master partner, we're about to Super Collect Figures based on the Transformers franchise brand from Hasbro.

Episode #254 “Redlining Sixth” 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 we discuss in this episode:

• In Hasbro's first Transformers Fan Friday (on June 26th), they revealed the latest Generations Selects: Rotorstorm and Tigertrack. Rotorstorm and Tigertrack react.
  
• Selects Centurion Drone was also revealed; the real story is the weapons pack to help you complete ALL the figures. More please.
  
  
  
  
  
• Selects Exhaust and Greasepit are reaching some fans. Some minor critiques, but overall the crew is happy these are coming.
  
• Alternate Universe Optimus Prime, AKA Dead Prime, is available for preorder on Amazon. We slap Prime around a bit while ultimately looking forward to his July 15th release date.
  
  
  
  
  
• Transformers RED Series is coming, and some of us are seeing red. We apologize for that joke. But actually, this is where we get into some philosophical deep cuts, especially with more on the way.
  
  
  
  
• Another G1 Reissue is dropping at WalMart - this time, it's Blaster. We talk about what's new, what's different, and what's weird.
  
• Speaking of new, different, and weird, how about the Transformers collaboration with Back to the Future? The bots seized the day on the limited Walmart exclusive; humans will have to wait until the October fan channel release.
  
  
  
  
  
• We close out this episode as we often do, with a round of bragging rights.
  
  
  

Good show all!

I agree the rotorstorm head is disappointing, I really want a Last Stand head for that figure.

Turbomasters with mechtech weapons is a nice idea! i looked at BBTS, only 2 gold ones left. Might still do it.

Tigertrack looks pretty good. I didn't pre-order him initially but did later, sort of regretted passing on him.

Exhaust/Greasepit: maybe they are SDCC exclusives? maybe Pulse release in 2 weeks?

Mercenary badge is kinda cool, and with it i might put Exhaust with my Quintessons.

Greasepit: the new sign and arm piece are cool uses of a slight retool, instead of it being just a head. i like that little bit of work. He needs his micromaster now.

Thanks to the cheetos comments, now I am thinking of the KFC cheetos chicken sandwiches...

Marvel Legends rocket is a cool little dude. I need to get him a Groot to go with.

I also think I should get Death's Head 2. How is he scotty?

RED: not sure I am into it. Prime Arcee will probably be my litmus test. If I really like her, I will be in for more like her. If not, then I will be passing.

RED is perfect for MTMTE/IDW too! BAF Ten would be really sweet, he and bob don't really have any way to work otherwise.

I'm really tired of all this being walmart exclusive though.

Gigawatt looks pretty cool, but that hood chest is definitely funky. So will we get a siege Astrotrain as the time train as the companion piece? And the head on gigawatt is definitely sideswipe with Rung glasses, cannot unsee now. his pre-order was super dumb too, way to blow that.

Ari: G1-Bee-1 stuff is why they are doing soundwave and Arcee next for 3-zero. I'm willing to bet it's going to be a while before Shatter and Dropkick come. But I really want those 2 too.

Scotty: glad you finally got alternity Skywarp. I think that color on him is superb. And I need /want a Magnaboss. GPS is probably the only reason i don't have him yet.

CP: nice Tako Tank! So, can Puma hook me up too? I've been checking him out and haven't really been satisfied with the listings I've seen.

Scotty, I'm sort of trying to catch up on kits too. I'm only 3 Flame toys kits away from having them all done finally!

Great show again all! Glad to hear a full cast this show

I had an interesting idea: What about a Jurassic Park crossover? They could make a mini line out of it, with Hound as one of the park Jeeps and the Dinobots as various dinos from the film, like Sludge as a Brachiosaurus.

this is an awesome idea.

Could also make a BW Megatron Rexy

Just think about this:

the crossover of the century. We have the jurassic park jeeps, who can have a robot mode based on hound, or an all new robot mode, no limits!

Said character is on the run from a time traveling Megatron, who is stuck on Earth and stuck in his dino mode. As time as wore on, he has colored himself to look like Rexy. He has taken up scaring humans in the park, waiting to break free. And sure enough, when a cybertronian disguised as a park jeep shows up, it gives him hope of going home again. And so he attacks, intent on finding the other cybertronians, so he can finally return home and be rid of the organic world of Earth

But little does Megatron know, that Jeep-bot has come to enlist the help of the Dinobots, who have also been chilling in the park after Hammond unknowingly built it on their dinobot island. Terrified by Megatron's attack, Jeepster pleads with the (now very comfortable and unmotivated) Dinobots to help him be rid of this not-so-purple terror...

The ultimate showdown: dinobots vs. Megatron.

Or, maybe Terrorsaur and Dinobot are somehow involved too, with Dinobot being one of the park Raptors, maybe the Alpha

Ooooh, I like it. Maybe Megatron, Terrorsaur and Dinobot time traveled from before Dinobot left the Predacons?

Also, a bit of a stretch, but how about Paddles as the mosasaur from Jurassic World? Sure it wouldn't really fit but this is a thinly veiled excuse for more Paddles.

Paddles is acceptable! Heck, they could even add some toy only characters in there to fill out the ranks, maybe have Grimlock either be his G1 T-Rex or BW white Raptor!

I really think BW might be the best JP crossover source Terminator, there are great alternate options!

As it was brought to my attention a while back by our old friend Va'al, apparently I am the construction mascot for a convention center in Detroit.

But, I like Megatronus's idea better. Definitely a Diaclone!
Hope that's not in reference to my age!

I do hope you all enjoy your COBO experience though!
