The Energon Pub

Welcome to the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast, where the HasLabs are aplenty, and the listeners come prepared to ask away. Your host ScottyP is joined by xRotorstormx, Aaarnhide19 and Megatronus as we tackle the greatest beast of all: the fans.

Episode #402 “Liokaiser” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Here's what we discuss in this episode:

• Haslab Liokaiser has arrived, and Megatronus doesn't know where to begin.
  
  
  
  
  
• The crew takes a musical interlude to cover the TFTM Soundtrack re-release, heavy metal edition.
  
  
  
  
  
• Fan channel exclusive Age of the Primes Sentinel Prime is so forgettable ScottyP left him off the agenda.
  
  
  
  
  
• Listener Perceptor1996 asks: "You are in charge of making a new Transformers series and your starting line up of Decepticons are Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Frenzy, Rumble and Ravage, but no Soundwave. They are all their own (normal style) bots with new alt modes, but what do you think those alt modes should be?"
  
  
• Listener Whiskeyjack46 asks: "If you could take any storyline or major plot event from any transformers comic series and have it turned into a Michael Bay live action movie (staying true to the storyline), what would you choose that you think Bay would actually make dynamic and awesome? Part 2 - same question but a movie developed and stylized like the TF One movie."
  
  
• Listener Lexomatic asks many questions, including: "How do you keep track of the deluge of characters in each toyline" and " Pretend you're a show planner with the remit to pick three-vs-three from outside the all-stars: who else would you draw from the roster?" and "Should a Transformers toyline have human action figures?" and "Similarly, should it have playsets, if the locations are important?" Good ones!
  
  
• Listener kurthy asks: "Who's your favorite transformer that only has one official toy and that toy isn't a remold/repaint of another character?"
  
  
• We wrap up the episode as we always do, with a robust round of Bragging Rights.
  
  
  

Only 3 behind now, slowly but surely making up ground.

Hey now, Deathcobra is a wonderful little figure, he is my individual 2nd favorite of the group! And the tail is cartoon accurate!

Jallguar is definitely my favorite of the group, followed by Deathcobra and Drillhorn.

Ari using only 1 joint, and not even the primary intended joint, very on-brand there buddy

I am torn on Sentinel, he is kinda lame and very overpriced, but I want the accessory.

Scotty totally should've just ordered pizza so we can track how long it takes to deliver.

I know it's not Perceptor1996's question perse, but I like having Movie Laserbeak, Alternators Rumble and Ravage, Universe Ratbat, Prime Frenzy, and TR Buzzsaw together for a reinvented team.

Michael Bay should direct an adaptation of any of the Decepticon Civil War comic arcs, they would suit his style well. TFone style could be a Wreckers style adaptation.

I wish for more stuff like Prime/DotM era Cyberverse, those ships were fun!

I also want humans, it sucks when you like a human character and cannot get them in any capacity.

I remain grateful for Megatronus selling me his blokees, it worked out perfectly that he had the first 4 waves and I had not jumped in until wave 5, synergy!

G1 Gunrunner and Roadgrabber are my 1 mold dudes. G1 Slapdash and G2 Turbofire also really cool!

Scotty, that is a shame you don't like Shield-D-Prime. I really do love that thing, it may be one of my all time favorite crossover figures.

all 3 of the 13 whom were released as Leaders were good toys. They were all very strong and enjoyable.
