Today's update in the ever-growing Seibertron.com galleries brings us back to Transformers: Robots in Disguise and the new incarnation of the Minicons - entirely different from those of old, and using both old and new names! In this particular gallery feature, we see the first wave of Mini-Cons Slipstream, Divebomb, Sawback, & Dragonus, two Autobots and two Decepticons, intended to be used with Deployer figures Drift and Fracture.

Slipstream and Divebomb are directly from the show, in their vaguely humanoid robot forms, while wolf-like Sawback and unsurprisingly dragon-esque Dragonus are expansions to the Deployer figures. In addition, each Mini-Con pack comes with coloured clear plastic armour pieces, applicable to a variety of figures outside of the one the come with, and can combine with other pieces for an entirely new teeny tiny robo-creature. Check it all out by clicking on any of the images below!

Continuing our Robots in Disguise galleries, we now present some of the most anticipated figures of the entire line: Warrior Class Megatronus and Fracture. While both had two toys from other classes previously out (which you can see in the images below), all fans were waiting for these more traditional releases. These two start off the year almost as a statement that Hasbro is aware of the lack of Decepticons in the line and aims to rectify that. These two figures are a good example to show that there are still toys which can interest collectors in a line made predominantly for younger fans. Let us know what you think of these and if you have had a chance to pick them up yet, or if you now plan to!

We recently brought you galleries for the Warrior class counterparts of these figures, but for comparison, other than the images already present in those, check out below Seibertron.com's latest additions to the Transformers: Robots In Disguise photo bank, with 3-Step Blizzard Strike Drift, Thunderhoof, and Night Ops Bumblebee!

Simpler version in the line, in both articulation and transformation, these figures literally do what they say in the title, and change in three steps, though are also known under the Hyperchange Heroes monicker. In addition, Bumblebee is the inevitable black redeco of a previous figure, found here.

And just because one (of several) Thunderhoof isn't enough, also included in the update is Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure TED-12 Thunderhoof, the Japanese counterpart to the Hasbro One-Step. Check out the comparisons, poses, pics and more by clicking on any of the images below!

Twincast / Podcast Episode #135 "The Road To Multiverse"

Welcome to the latest episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast! This episode features your host ScottyP, Megatronus, RodimusConvoy13, and Jon 3.0 - listen in as we discuss the latest news, toys, and more.

Episode #135 “The Road To Multiverse“ is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on iTunes and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

We kick off 2016 with a couple intriguing listener questions. First, SillySpringer asks a very relevant toy-related query: Which four deluxes from Combiner Wars are the best? I want to maybe get Cyclonus and slap some random and good limbs on him.



SW’s SilverHammer blasts us with a comics question: Do you think there will be a point in the story continuity, where the transformers galactic civil war ends? I don't mean where we are now with insurgencies, but a point where there is finality in the war. Or alternatively, do you believe, or would you prefer, that the writers continue the Cybertronain civil war in perpetuity?



Next, the Twincast tackles the reintroduction of the Head, err, Titan-Masters gimmick in the Titan Returns line, notably on traditionally non-Headmaster characters. In the words of Rung: how does that make you feel?



We turn to the Robots in Disguise animated series. Season 2 looms in the distance, and the Twincast has some strong opinions on what direction certain characters, and the series as a whole, should take.



After the TFCC’s announcement of Shattered Glass Unicron in the Club comic, we thought it would be fun to ask: what do you think of the "multiverse" concept in Transformers? Chaos ensues.



We polish off this episode with some bragging rights. This week's theme: your most brag-worthy acquisition from the past month that is not a Generations or Masterpiece.




Don't forget, the show only gets better if you tell us how. Drop us a review on iTunes and be sure to tell us what you love, what you hate, and what you want to hear!

Not on the show to give your take? Probably not, so don't forget to keep the discussion going on the Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums by simply replying to this post!

Got a question for the Twincast? We take all of them, we just don't take them all seriously! Leave a question in the Ask the Twincast thread and, if it makes the cut, it may get read and answered on the show.

We have shown you the in-hand images of at least one of these Transformers: Robots in Disguise redecos, we've shown some comparisons, but it's now time for Seibertron.com to show the full galleries for the latest additions to the Warrior class: Blizzard Strike Drift, Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime and Night Strike Bumblebee!

All three are straight-up repaints of their previous incarnation in the line, which can be found as comparison in the galleries (and also here, here, and here), though to varying degrees of extent: Drift and Optimus have a complete shades of blue overhaul, while Bumblebee receives some highlights and minor touches. Check them all out by clicking on any of the images below!

We had a nice sneak peek the other day but now it's time to give you the full galleries of both Robots In Disguise Warrior Class Quillfire and Thunderhoof. These are really looked forward to by fans since they help fill the Decepticon ranks of a line which was very Autobot heavy in the first year. A few things to note is how well the animalistic designs have been integrated in these toys. Every previously released Thunderhoof figure (ie the one step and legion class toy) have both a rake for tractor mode and antlers for robot/beast mode while the show design clearly has both of them as the same piece. This toy fulfills that design by having his vehicle rake become his antlers.

With Quillfire, a bunch of quills can be flipped out of his back to give him a show accurate look. He even comes with an extra quill (along with a gun) that can be held as a knife and stored onto his back among his other quills.

These two figures are from Wave 6 of the Robots in Disguise Warrior Class and are due for retail release between Q1 and Q2 2016. Feel free to click on any picture to be brought to their extended gallery.

We recently brought you the latest release in the Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece line in the plastic form of Road Rage, but it is now time to step back one place, and focus on the first iteration of the mold: MP-25 Tracks!

Inlcuding pretty much all of the same accessories as its successor, the figure features the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray vehicle mode in luscious blue, red and yellow (for the flames), plus some added white for the robot features and 'flight mode' - and the inclusion of a Raoul minifigure and Blaster in boombox mode to boot. But if that is not enough, this gallery update also brings you an addition to the Q Transformers galleries in its superdeformed Q-17 Tracks. Throw in some comparison shots with pretty much every Tracks that Seibertron.com could find, and you have more blue dandies than you can shake a rose at. Click on any of the images below to view the full works!

After the latest gallery in the Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece line over the weekend, Seibertron.com is ready to bring you not one but two more additions to the gallery collection - and it's two variants of existing molds: MP-21R Bumble Red Boby Body and MP-14C Clampdown!

The former is the inevitable red repaint of the Bumblebee figure, whose gallery you can view here, and features the excellently hilarious typo on the collector coin, though not the Daniel exosuit. The latter is the latest in a long series of repaints and retools for the MP14 mold, with a white, black, red and light blue paint apps to bring it closer to its police car look. You can check out both galleries by clicking on any of the images below!

She has three toys to her name including the original e-Hobby exclusive Road Rage, BotCon 2012 Turbo Tracks (Come on despite the name, this is Road Rage) and the subject of this newest gallery entry, Masterpiece MP-26 Road Rage.
