The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is back for a special escape-from-family-interactions-post-Thanksgiving episode. Listen in as ScottyP, Counterpunch, Mr. Starscream, and Megatronus dive head first into the latest Transformers news you can use.

Episode #289 “No Thanks Given” 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:

• We kick off our show with the latest rumors of an Amazon exclusive series of Wreckers. The Twincast proceeds to do what it does best: speculate wildly without accountability or consequences.
  
  
• The Jurassic Park Crossover 2-pack revealed back in June has arrived and still available on Amazon. The reviews are... not great. The Twincast takes aim at this negativity, as we ask important questions about hats.
  
  
  
  
• The strangest mashup of the year is here: J. Balvintron, an exclusive to the video shopping site and app ntwrk, has the Twincast crew seeing rainbows as we give candid impressions of this louder than life figure.
  
  
  
  
• Special Topic: If you could bring back one gimmick that either never took off or got abandoned, what would it be? The crew shares their insights and deepest desires - we hope the Transformers Brand Team is listening (they are not).
  
  
• Transformers Cyberverse: The Perfect Decepticon is now streaming on the interwebs. ScottyP shares his thoughts on the season finale as the Twincast asks what makes good fiction, and how to reach a segment of the fandom (ours) that would appreciate the strong effort this show represents. Seibertron review here.
  
  
  
  
• Bragging rights! What has everyone gotten since last time?

• We move on to Cyberverse Deluxe Slag, who looks a lot better than other recent Slags of similar size. Look what happens when comic nerds get to design Transformers?
  
  
  
  
• Masterpiece leaks abound as Shouki enters the realm of the prototype. The crew attempts to puzzle out the transformation as we look towards the next member of train combiner Raiden.
  
• Speaking of leaks, Masterpiece Cliffjumper is looking mighty fine, if a tad green.
  
  
  
  
• We get to the latest Fan Friday reveals as Coronation Starscream, Sweep, and Perceptor grace Studio Series, and what to expect at October's PulseCon (not much, yet).

• We open up listener questions with Mr. Micromaster getting a long-delayed answer on the next round of product reveals.
  
• D-Maximal_Primal starts a volley of questions by asking about reissues we'd want to see from Armada, Energon or Cybertron.
  
  
  
  
• We answer a pair of Cyberverse-related questions from the same listener.
  
• Hydrargyrus asks us about standard decos that might not need to be standards, then we move on to their second question about decos that are just plain ugly.

Another day, another Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast with host Scotty P being joined by Counterpunch and Rotorstorm to look at the latest in Transformers stuff. That's right, stuff! Bumblebee toys, Headmasters, model kits, the Netflix show, comic books, non-transforming figures and even videogames comprise the content in a multifaceted couple hours of nonstop Transformers talking action.

• Counterpunch helps us figure out what's up with the next round of Walmart Titans Return Headmasters redecos in "vintage" G1 style packaging.
  
• Earthrise is almost here and Scotty P reminds us why expectations for something set on Earth are kind of oblivious.
  
• Is this new Flame Toys Rodimus model kit looking at Agustin Padilla's MTMTE art, Phil Jimenez's stuff for Dark Cybertron, or none of the above?
  
  
  
  
• Told you they were Mega SCF reborn.
  
• Cyberverse Deluxe figures continue and at least one of us is pleased.
  
  
  
  
• IDW's Transformers #25 - caution, spoilers within - but it looks like most of you stopped reading anyway.
  
  
  
  
• Scotty provides brief thoughts on the Transformers: Battlegrounds videogame released a couple months back.
  
• Bragging Rights take us to the end of another episode and one step closer to the end of another podcast year.
