Twincast / Podcast Episode #349 "Agent of Chaos"
Agent of Chaos - The Chaos Bringer takes control of Episode 349 of the Twincast / Podcast to force the crew to spin the discussion wheel of fate. The episode begins with another edition of the "40 for 40" segment, setting the target on the year 2006. The toy talk continues with an early edition of Bragging Rights robbing us of a concluding segment for the episode. Celebrating Christmas in May, a December listener question from OptimusBrat about a possible redo of commander class Rodimus Prime is considered. As promised in the last episode, in hand opinions of Legacy United wave 2 are now given including Commander Magmatron before wave 3 reveals are discussed. Robosen Megatron then has the crew less than thrilled, but the reveal of Movie Masterpiece Brawl lets us give our tanks. The chaotic episode finally comes to an end with Missing Link Bumblebee and Cliffjumper leaks prompting the crew to wonder which G1 toy could use this update the most.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #348 "Uno"
Uno - What a day for Transformers! The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast has let the dust settle and discusses a world where the trailer for Transformers One has debuted in episode 348. From space, back to Youtube, and all the way to Cybertron a surface dissection of the scenes of the trailer travels to several topics, including the appearance of a "Xerxes-like" Starscream. After more talk about the upcoming Masterpiece Ginrai, the death of Masterpiece as a brand is briefly mourned before its glorious rebirth into MPG is noted, with some interesting theories arising about the future of Masterpiece G as we know it. Issue 7 of the Skybound Transformers series has the cast pondering the fate of a few bots. A new listener question about an obscure line of toys is tackled and the 2005 edition of 40 for 40 reminds us of some great classic toys. Bragging rights is abridged but we keep it quick with some Korean KOs, the Reflector 3-pack, some 90s European market exclusives and the world's best Transformers Convention report from Dairycon 2024.
Twincast / Podcast Episode #347 "Swooped In"
Swooped In - Episode 347 of the Twincast / Podcast swoops in to look at all the latest in Transformers while looking back once again. The episode begins with onsite commentary about the Wondercon Studio Series toy reveals such as Bumblebee Movie Shockwave and the highly anticipated Studio Series 86 Leader Class Swoop, plus Bumblebee Movie Sunstreaker and Gamer Edition Sideswipe who are already in the hands of the crew for discussion. The toy talk continues with an unsurprising leak of Legacy Sideburn, a new Target 4 pack, leak of a possible Masterpiece God Ginrai giving new life to the MPG line, and yet another Collaborative reveal with the TMNT Turtle Van challenging the dais to buy 4 copies for the display. This week's installment of the "40 for 40" segment takes us to the year of 2004 with Energon leaking all over and the crew taking the podcast into the shop for a new Alternator. As always, the joy of Transformer collecting is shared as Bragging Rights brings the show to a close.

NEW! Mattel creations is doing something unheard of, they are releasing a licensed Transformers toy that actually transforms. Hasbro had put a stop to that a long time ago, which is why McDonalds Happy Meal toys haven't transformed for over 15 years. But they are letting Mattel release their version of G1 Optimus Prime as a 1/64 scale fully die-cast transforming toy within their Hotwheels line. This special figure will cost fans $80 though. Below are images and the product - Read More

Today's Hasbro Pulse livestream on YouTube was Studio Series heavy when it came to in hand reveals, but at the end of the stream during their Spacebridge portal reveals they gave us our first look at some long leaked figures making up Wave 4 of Legacy. Surprisingly instead of using random art they used the actual package art that will appear with the toys at the end of the year! We also got a few tidbits about what to expect from some of the figures: Core Class Energon Galvatron (obvious - Read More

The Transformers Reactivate game has gone through multiple iterations. It was initially called Transformers Rise and now the opening cutscene that was originally made for that initial iteration has leaked. It is a series of slightly moving images, which we’ve seen in low effort online coop or multiplayer shooter games. This will probably not be the cutscene we get when Reactivate finally comes out but it gives a sense of the kind of game it is and its budget. More importantly, it reveals - Read More

While Apelinq did not have a robot mode in the movie, there was a fan design for one and Yolopark will be using it as a basis for their officially licensed Apelinq mode kit/figure. They are going all out on this one by having extra weaponry, a lengthier model kit experience, and a magnetized base. You can even choose to give Apelinq extra hair or not. If you want the lowest price, the figure can be ordered from their website. Shipping isn't cheap though. BBTS is also importing this model kit, - Read More

A lot of new Transformers One toys were revealed today. This line is bringing back a lot of gimmicks that a lot of their audience was not around for then.

There are many more toys, some for very little kids, like a non converting Optimus figure that goes from "no - Read More

The latest warrior class figures from the Transformers Earthspark line appeared in Canada a little while back. However, no one posted a video review addressing the combination aspect of these toys, until now. While it isn't a mind boggling combination, remember that this is just a third mode for either toy, and a child still has a complete Transformers toy experience with owning just one of them as either can go from robot mode to vehicle mode as traditionally expected. The combination is just - Read More

Following initial word of an assortment of Hot Wheels cars in decidedly non-Transformers based vehicle options we have our first look at two somewhat more accurate takes on two recognizable characters. First up we've got a listing for Hot Wheels Track Fleet Optimus Prime straight from Big Bad Toy Store. This isn't just a random semi truck painted up like OP but a new model complete with the instantly recognizable removable trailer design. This is a 1/64 diecast vehicle and at least BBTS has - Read More

It isn't just G1 celebrating an anniversary in 2024, it's the 15th anniversary of Transformers: Dark of the Moon as well! With the lack of Bayverse figures in Studio Series this year you wouldn't be wrong to think Hasbro would forget, but thanks to Jtprime17 it seems they remembered after all. A new listing was found calling for a new DotM four pack featuring Studio Series Optimus Prime and Jetfire along with two yet to be named Deluxe Autobots. Tra Gen SS Multipack ROTF 15th Autobot - Read More

Everyone has been wondering what's next for the Takara Tomy Missing Link line after two stellar figures of Optimus Prime and we may have our answer.

Like Prime both figures are shown as being fully articulated, but also unlike the originals will include weapons. If these end up being real and not an elaborate prank then we should see official - Read More

In the video below you get a rundown of all the features, including voice clips, commands, and even a firing gimmick. They also highlight how he breathes when he's not commanded anything, which is a bit of an odd feature they keep including, since robots don't - Read More
