Jayson Napolitano of Scarlet Moon Productions sent us a message to inform us of Vince DiCola's newest work. Mr. DiCola is well known in the Transformers fandom due to his quite excellent soundtrack for the 1986 Transformers: The Movie. A deluxe edition with extended and unreleased tracks debuted as a BotCon exclusive in 1997, titled "Til All Are One".
His newest work is called "Christmas Adventure", for the Saturday Morning RPG video game available on Steam and mobile devices.
Here's what Mr. Napolitano had to say
Hello!
Thought you might be interested to hear composer Vince DiCola has just released a Christmas medley that's featured in his soundtrack for Saturday Morning RPG, which will be released in its entirety next month.
Vince has long been a supporter of the Transformer community, and even though this news doesn't pertain to Transformers itself, I think it's relevant to his fans, and he'd love your help spreading the word!
I'd love for you guys to cover it and maybe even talk to Vince about it (there's plenty of Transformers-esque themes in the game, and even some Transformer-esque robots!).
It's true, Vince, much like Stan Bush (who has been covered many times here), has been a supporter of Transformers for quite some time.
Saturday Morning RPG is an episodic role-playing game set in world heavily inspired by 1980s Saturday morning cartoons. Players take the role of Martin “Marty” Michael Hall, an average high-school student who has just been granted an incredible power. This power leads him to attract the ire of the world’s most notorious villain, Commander Hood.
The Seibertron.comTwincast is back with another episode, featuring host Counterpunch along with regular crew Razorclaw Zero Zero Zero Zero, ScottyP, Jon3.0, and another brand new voice – Rotorstorm! The episode is newly available with chapters in .m4a format, but may not work in all media players. If you wish to try out the new chapter enhanced version, it is available from here. As always, the episode is available directly and in our RSS Feed and should appear on iTunes within 24 to 48 hours of this news post.
Episode #76 educates your brain on the following topics:
(00:00:00) Intro
(00:01:12) Getting to know Rotorstorm
(00:05:54) We got our Circuits closed, just in time to open up discussion on this latest club subscription figure.
(00:15:47) The cast raves about the inclusion of Microns in Transformers Subscription Service 2.0, except for Jon 3.0, who takes the time to instead crush our hopes and dreams of a never ending road into Micron glory.
(00:27:19) We take some time to discuss the other recent reveals from the Club: Fisitron, Rewind, and the idea of Eject.
(00:35:40) Seibertron recently sat down with the Club and interviewed them. Also: are we Pasadena bound next Summer?
(00:47:28) We Thrustinate deep into this topic – the final reveal from FSS 2.0!
(00:52:14) Another venture in to the wild world of Michael Bay is upon us. Dinobots, Titles, and villains galore! Spoilers within.
(01:10:36) Everyone drools over the upcoming Masterpiece Transformers. Or is one of them drooling at us?
(01:23:54) Metroplex and other Takara Generations toys are upon us. Who in the cast will take up the challenge of collecting them all?
(01:26:44) We stumble in to picking a winner of our Photo Contest, and Scotty comes up with the worst idea ever on how to do it. Thankfully, this idea is ignored.
Congratulations to our winner, Jackstraw!
(01:43:03) Jelly pants are had all around as an epic amount of bragging rights are unleashed. Will Scotty cry? What has Mike gotten into lately? And has Jon 3.0 got cool news to share?
(02:07:06) We wrap up the show as awkwardly as we can.
(02:09:03) Outro

A big thanks to everyone who participated in the BotCon 2013 Costume Contest and congratulations to our winner... Soundwave! Once again, Superior!
Saturday night at BotCon unfolded like many previous BotCon Saturday nights. After the traditional dinner reception, many BotCon attendees partook in a fun Casino night accompanied by drinks and other entertainment. Many of us headed to Town & Country's Charlie's bar afterwards. Once the bar closed down, we thought it'd be fun to do an impromptu Seibertron.com Twincast/Podcast recording because, you know, that's always a good idea after a night of drinking and tomfoolery.
Many regular Seibertronian BotCon attendees were present ... some of the roster includes Joevill, El Duque, ScottyP, his girlfriend Candace, Rated X, Flux Convoy, Claire, Prime Evil, Mr and Mrs Delicon, and many others. If you were there, please feel free to join our conversation to share your thoughts about the first ever official SEIBERSOCIAL!
A word of caution about this episode ... it's a pretty raw episode. It was recorded around midnight on a Saturday night at BotCon after the bar closed. We were all having a really good time. During the episode, there are some ramblings, repeated questions, etc. And we all continued on with having fun while we were recording. It's a light hearted episode that some of you will find very entertaining while some of you will find it very annoying. It's just a carefree episode with a group of Seibertronians recording a moment in time at BotCon 2013. You've been officially warned!
This episode is available directly and in our RSS Feed and should appear on iTunes within 24 to 48 hours of this news post.

Our own Twincaster and voice actor Jon Bailey in association with BlastardInc and Gabriel Jean have produced yet another BotCon exclusive video for the 2013 Fan Film Festival. In this episode of TRANSFORMERS: GENERAT1ON, the Autobots prepare for their 30th reunion but Prime runs into some opposition from some familiar faces from the 80's.
This week on the Twincast podcast live from parking lot of the Circle K, we join a dynamic uno and his partner as they discuss recent Transformers related stuff. Air guitars ready? "Excellent!" Let's hope we don't run into any evil robot us's. (cue riff)
As always, the episode is available directly and in our RSS Feed and should appear on iTunes within 24 to 48 hours of this news post.
Listen to host Counterpunch S. Preston Esquire and his sidekick tigertracks24 Theodore Logan as they jam on a WILD STALLION something near-and-dear to ol' tt24's heart, Masterpiece Tigertrack(s), as well as the most recent developments about Transformers 4 vehicles and setting. What results is a bit of love for Lamborghini's and a geography lesson...
Also the awesome pair with the great hair shares thoughts about other toy news like the SDCC Exclusive GI JOE Transformers Crossover Set ("Whoa..."), the Beast Hunters exclusives ("Heinous..."), and Generations Trailcutter ("Station!").
Our trip in the phone booth concludes with some Botcon talk including a final wrap on the exclusive figures set and it's 'totally awesome' box and the guest lineups, which then transitions to some bragadocious bragging rights when the twosome becomes a threesome and ends the jam session as the wily Jon 'RUFUS' 3.0 pops in just in time to say, "Adieu!"
"No way!!"
