• We’ve been investigating more issues with walls and the battle engine. This is still very much work in progress so we cannot share any details at this stage

• We received a large number of player reports regarding First Aid/Reflectorshealing stat not matching the amount they actually deal.
  This issue was caused by the healing and bot power values being artificially high on the bots profile screen.
  • We have adjusted these values on the profile screen so they now match the effective power and healing of these bots on the battlefield.These changes are purely cosmetic and won’t make any difference for these bots healing or attacking power. 
     
• We fixed several issues affecting bots equipped with G1 Cores making them appear as the opposite faction bot in some specific situations.
• We fixed an issue getting bots stuck on the spot walking.
• Huffer and Lockdown's Special Ability turrets will now inherit a percentage of the health and damage stats from their creator. Please check the details on the wiki.
• Solved bugs affecting Blaster and Soundwave’s minions making them die immediately after deploy.
• Combiners could be previously be stunned by the Thunder Towers in Raid. This is now fixed.
• After triggering an outpost and entering stealth mode, outpost bots were targetingSlash/Rippersnapper without attacking them, pushing the bots off canvas. It is now fixed in most cases.

• We kick off the show with the latest figure to be revealed from the Siege line, Leader Class Optimus Prime.
  
  
• The cast also discusses some of the non-G1 homages we've seen over the years and which ones we hope to see in the future.
  
• Next up, ScottyP has the G1 Reissue of Optimus Prime in-hand - do Megatronus and xRotorstormx need convincing when it comes to adding this to their collections?
  
  
• Now, we've heard about a lot of new products hitting store shelves this year but what does the cast feel is the one they are most looking forward to?
  
• Break out those genie hats, its time for us to make some bold predictions for this upcoming year.
  
  
  
  wait...not that type of prediction?
  
  
  
• Moving on, the cast buttons up their restrospective on the Masterpiece "Super Car" era with MP-22 Ultra Magnus and the beautiful 'vettes Tracks, Road Rage and Loud Pedal.
  
  
  
• We close out this episode with a short round of bragging rights

• Players have reported that the amount of healing provided by First Aid/Reflectordoes not match the value displayed on the character’s screen. We are working at aligning these values in a future content update.

• G1 Prowl ＆Brawl power core
  We have updated the description of the G1 Prowl and Brawl power core. It now reflects more accurately the amount of extra damage dealt for every level of the core.We have fixed a bug affecting the duration of the fire effect created by the G1 Prowl/Brawl power core. Previously, it could last up to 12 secs doubling the amount of damage provided over time. It now lasts for 6 secs as per the description.
   
• White Kremzeek
  We decided to disable the ability of White Kremzeek to target the HQ directly. Taking down the HQ easily from afar goes against our design idea of battles and unfortunately the Adaptive Shielding core did not prove to be a sufficient counterbalance. We are putting the White Kremzeeks in line with similar strong effects like Death Ray. The White Kremzeeks will stay as they are in any other aspect and will still be very useful against other targets than the HQ or in raids.
  • This balance update will go live at some point this Thursday.

• We kick off the show with Siege Leaders Shockwave & Ultra Magnus - ScottyP and Megatronus have them in hand, and do their best to make the other cast members drool.
  
• ScottyP similarly got his paws on the newly released MPM6 Ironhide, and provides some tips on how not to break yours.
  
  
  
• On Studio Series, we discuss how we're going to fit the delicious #38 Bumblebee Movie Optimus into our collections, and compare the #31 Battle Damaged Megatron with its tidier predecessor.
  
• The cast pines after the upcoming G1 reissues - Soundwave, Gears, and Warpath are all on the horizon - and gear up for the hunt at Walmart.
  
  
  
• ScottyP is obsessed with Energon Igniters Soundwave, which totally isn't the beat up van your uncle used to sell Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead t-shirts out of in the 70s. Now the rest of us are obsessed too.
  
• We answer illustrious News Crew member william-james88's question: "Have you noticed any improvements in distribution this year over other years? Were toys that you wanted easier to get than before?"
  
• Coming out of nowhere, we wildly speculate about dropped hints about a potential Beast Wars animated movie. If you couldn't tell, we are fans of the idea.
  
  
  
• We talk briefly about the IDW reboot, and some of the plot points and core concepts revealed thus far. We also take a look at some of the cover art revealed thus far, and hope for some strong stylistic choices going forward.
  
  
  
• Of course we close out this episode with a short round of Bragging Rights.

• At the start and throughout the episode, we're extremely proud that the Twincast's own Jon Bailey was brought in to voice Soundwave and Shockwave in the film. Listen in for insight and insider information you won't hear anywhere else!
  
  
• We take the best look we can at the opening sequence featuring a battle on Cybertron.
• A general overview and discussion of the entire movie's plot occurs throughout, with looks at new characters like Dropkick and Shatter, as well as new human friends (and foes) like Charlie and Agent Burns.
• We take time to reflect on not just the pop-culture references - including many to previous Transformers works of all kinds - but also on the characterization provided along the way which is found at an unprecedented high level for Transformers live action movies.
  
  
• Listen in for our thoughts on movie continuity.
• Why? How did we let this happen?
  
  
• With plenty of fuzzy information about the future of the Transformers film franchise out there to fuel us, we speculate about what might come next. Forget a reboot, could there be a remake?
• Is the toyline another poorly timed missed opportunity? Is the execution the problem? Either way you can probably guess we don't have nice things to say about Hasbro's merchandising contributions.
  
  
• We conclude the episode with our holiday season bragging rights.
