The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast picks up where they left off in Episode 392. Host Scotty P is joined by Megatronus, Aaarnhide19, and Kuhlio to discuss the reveal of Missing Link Grimlock and MPG-20 Hotrod before digging into some reissues and listener questions.

Episode #393 “Been There” 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:

• Missing Link Grimlock stock images surface. The team decides if the new installment is Beryllium Bologna or Caesium Salami.
  
• Takara has the team asking MPG- don't we already have this? The team gets to the root of how different this Hot Rod is from the original MP release.
  
• Hound and Scourge join the Target Exclusive More than Meets the Eye Collection. The crew decide how they feel about straight reissues that seem to continue to return to Target.
• Kurthy, Perceptor 1996 and D_Maxmal_Primal help kick the discussion into high gear with some incredible listener questions. The cast gambles on seeker repaints, robot theology, and more.
  
• Bragging rights then brings this show to a close.

I f***** knew a 6-7 joke was coming, goooooooooooooddddddddddddddddddddd.

That price on Grimlock is so stupid, I will still buy it cause I love this line. But that is only because there is so long between each release.

MPG hot rod feels completely redundant, it looks just like an oversized SS86 Hot Rod, nothing more.

I will finish tomorrow.

OK, time to finish!

Someone actually thought about buying 2 animated leader bulkheads for 2 hands? Never thought about that.

I do not mind the re-packs, allows me to skip stuff, which I am OK with.

Scotty, I totally feel the anniversary thing, I totally agree.

I really hate that I have to agree with Ari on the over/under on the new seeker mold. I have to say over.

But then, the price point conversation is also very true, the voyager price point I think is in big trouble.

I thought Thundercracker was a very nice figure, I really enjoy him. I don't intend to get any more of this mold, but I really like Thundercracker by himself.

Ari, I would have a hard time choosing between ER and 86 seekers. I sold a lot of my ER ones, so I do not want too many of them, but I also feel the same with this seeker mold, it's not one I feel I need an army of, or want an army of. Ironically, my favorite remains the Siege one.

Hearing these predictions now that we know what Nexus is, if only one of your ideas had happened, it would have been more interesting than what they actually did.

I should have seen Scotty's traffic light mudflap answer.

I feel like there has been a somewhat fundamental mis-understanding of the question for the others. It's not "who do you want retooled into who", it is "keep the character the same, and the toy mechanics the same, which alt mode do you want to see it retooled into"

Man, Ari REALLY didn't get it

Bob still catching strays all these years later

Ari being quick but efficient, wonder how many times his wife has said that...

The lack of ankle tilts is such a huge downside to SS Alpha Trion, he should have had those.

Dr Wu Broadside is such a fun toy, I love that guy. I believe I have him on the Lost Light shelf with my TR one with the Wreckers.

Scotty, can you share a photo of the Skybound thingy you mentioned in bragging rights?

Titans Return Alpha Trion is still one of my all time favorite toys, it is hard to beat him.

Megatronia is a hard one to get, she is the last UW figure I want, and she is EXPENSIVE
