This episode is available directly and in our RSS Feed and should appear on iTunes within 24 to 48 hours of this news post.

Twincast / Podcast Episode #73 "Beast Hunting"

A little ol' convention called WONDERFEST happened, and there was some big yellow plasticy Scorponok thing shown on display next to G1 Fortress Maximus. The crew speculate, and wonder what does it actually mean? And then we talk dolls... like CM Corps new addition in Spike and Daniel Exosuits.

Then there's the hunting. Beast Hunters 'Rise of the Predacons' Exclusives, Target resets, Generations comic packs, and more seemed to magically appear all at the same time. Is Target the most consistent retailer for releasing similar toys at similar times in so many stores?

Not only are Beast Hunters toys making news, but the Beast Hunters cartoon showed its final episode, and we share a few thoughts on its finality, Bumblebee speaking, and what comes next for Transformers cartoons.

Believe it or not, the Twincast also had a few moments to talk about the SDCC TF/GI JOE Exclusive Set and how separate entities are having trouble playing nice when it comes to a certain white jet with black and red details, and super-cool fast pack jet engines.

And finally...

Do you like free stuff? If so you may want to tune in as the crew of the podcast announces a bit of a contest. Details are in the show, and will be expounded on in this podcast thread. We're looking forward to your creativity. The winner will receive a new Generations deluxe class Transformers toy. Only U.S. residents and non-Seibertron.com staff members are eligible to win.

Thanks for tuning in! If you get a chance, please leave us some feedback about this episode. We really like to hear from our listeners!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Harmony Gold is the worst company. It squats on the Macross license doing nothing with it. Macross 7, F, Zero? Nothing. No other valks have come out in the US. Studio Blu, Bandai and Yamato have fought tooth and nail to get back those rights for Macross localization. Alas, Harmony Gold is just a real estate company that squats on anime licenses from the 80s.

The card art is where they got in trouble because Harmony Gold has the rights to the likenesses of all Valkyries. It sucks. No one likes it and I hope that if this lawsuit goes through, Hasbro wins. Who knows though.
