It's Oops all Hot Rods in the first installment of 2026 with episode 392 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast. A double whammy of a new version of 86 Hot Rod as well as a new MPG offering for him tells us the real fire horse is probably just Hot Rod. Host Scotty P looks at those alongside Aaarnhide19, Counterpunch, Kuhlio and Rotorstorm, and the whole crew also gets into shenanigans involving upcoming teased releases from Takara. All that plus the annual prediction segment await.

Episode #392 “Year of the Rod” 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:

• The shadow drop and quick sellout of a Hot Rod from the MTMTE Collection fulfills the wishes of crew members wanting an animation "accurate" version of the mold
  
  
• The Roddy talk continues with a Takara tease of an upcoming MPG Hot Rod
• Even more reveals from Takara include both silver and red Movie Masterpiece Sideswipes, another entry into the Missing Link line in the form of Grimlock, and a "New Legends" Lio Convoy sporting the green colored transformation from the anime for the first time!
  
  
• It's that time of year! Time for the cast to give their layup predictions for 2026 as well as the shot in the dark hot takes. Is it finally the year for Haslab Metroplex or will Megatronus never rest?
• A listener question from Perceptor1996 has the crew discussing which characters from the Power Core Combiners toyline they would bring back to use in a piece of media.
• Bragging Rights finishes things off as it usually does
