The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is looking to make big moves while not jumping the shark. Sort of. Join host ScottyP, Megatronus, Epic Voice Guy, Kuhlio, and Aaaarnhide19 as we peer into the abyss, I mean future, of the latest Legacy: Evolution toys, the Rise of the Beasts movie, and more.

Episode #318 “Junkion Thunderdome” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher Radio and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Here are the deep thoughts we discuss in this episode:

• We start with reveals from the recent Pulse livestream, and boy were we pleased to have made the cut. This podcast, coming to a store near you.
  
  
  
  
• We answer a listener *ahem* cast-member question from Kuhlio: what's a figure from an older line that needs a chance to be Evolved like Hot Shot, and what's a figure that doesn't need to be updated, like Armada Starscream?
  
  
  
  
• We move on to the surprisingly faithful Rise of the Beasts mainline, and some of the more fun-looking gimmicks. Special mention to Cheetor and Scourge, who are both looking mighty fine indeed.
  
  
  
  
• The next 8 episodes of Earthspark Season 1 (part 2 of 3) drop on Paramount+ March 3rd, with a juicy trailer building our excitement. TM2 Tarantulus, Grimlock, Breakdown, Shockwave - this show is shaping up.
  
  
  
  
• Listener kurthy asks: "With Legacy giving us a bunch of reimagined pretenders, what would you you all think if Hasbro did a line that had the articulation and polish of Marvel Legends or G.I. Joe Classified but used it mostly for pretender shells and action masters?" RED & Super7 need not apply.
  
• We wrap up the show with everyone's favorite segment: Bragging Rights.

The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is back as our host ScottyP and motley crew Megatronus and Rotorostorm stumble their way through the Transformers news of the day - including some grainy reveals, vague press releases, and questionable rumors.

Episode #271 “Meh-pisode” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher Radio 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 long rumored Commander Class Rodimus prime is revealed. Kinda. Sorta... but that's not going to stop us from talking about it.
  
  
  
  
• New images of MPM12 Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime are up: it's meh. The cast gets into silly things like design philosophy and line comparisons, all in the service of avoiding the question: are we expecting too much from this toy?
  
  
  
  
• Naturally, we transition to prototype images of Masterpiece Skids, who looks amazeballs, and is clearly a deviation from the recent trend of Sunbow accuracy.
  
  
  
  
• Two new cartoons have been announced as part of a partnership between Hasbro's eOne and Nickelodeon: Bot Bots and something entirely vague and probably different. Will Hasbro finally achieve total brand awareness??
  
  
  
  
• Beast Wars reissues! Beast Wars reissues? Beast wars reissues.
  
  
  
  
• Super7's Transformers Ultimates line has announced waves 2 & 3, with a variety of interesting choices, including Pretenders, Dino-mode Grimlock, and IDW Tarn. Have they piqued our interest? Yes. Yes they have.
  
  
  
  
• We end the show as we always do - with a round of bragging rights. What have we all acquired since last time?
