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?

Back for the 285th time, the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is here with episode #286 in the final stretch of an assured... Victory! Scotty P and Mr. Starscream catch up on Haslab Victory Saber one final time then proceed to disagree on everything else the rest of the night.

• Your miles per gallon don't matter when you're on a train - It's MPG-1 Shouki!
• At least one of us can't wait for Legacy's Titan Class Cybertron Metroplex
  
• Something about a stand and strings, I guess?
• Golden Disks everywhere as we ponder Puffer and Ranger, Jackpot with Sights, Tony's cousin Tigatron and Terrorsaur's cousin, a flying box.
• Bragging Rights fly us to the moon, or at least into the sky on an F-15 Eagle. Ignore when Scotty says F-16, he's tired.

The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is back with points and counterpoints as ScottyP, Megatronus, and xRotorstormx tackle the latest Transformers news and more.

Episode #285 “Monster Mashup” 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:

• HasLab watch: as of our recording, Victory Saber has surpassed 9000 backers. We discuss the likely trajectory from here out, and the strong possibility of unlocking all tiers, including the accidentally revealed shield.
  
  
  
  
• Leak Lists: Retailer Exclusives, Beast Wars Reissues, RED, Shattered Glass, Generations Selects, Legacy, and Studio Series, to name a few. We sift through and point out the notable characters we're most excited about.
  
• Two Target exclusives have gone up for preorder: Kingdom Road Rage and Crossover Universal Monsters Draculus. We're oddly into Draculus and the possibility of additional Universal Crossovers. Draculus is sold out, but Road Rage is available here.
  
  
  
  
• "Classics Retrospective" continues. This time we're looking at 2011 and 2012, up until Botcon 2012. That includes Reveal the Shield, ongoing Generations releases, and the weird, tail end of United - and even the stray exclusives such as United Target Masters, Million Publishing Stepper, and Amazon's 25th Anniversary Unicron. We have our favorites.

The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is back in your podcast feeds as ScottyP, Megatronus, and Mr Starscream tackle the latest Transformers news and more.

Episode #284 “Welcome to 2010” 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 Victory Saber HasLab campaign is live - so we come hat in hand about our wrong predictions, but fail to learn our lesson by speculating on stretch goals and what this means for future releases.
  
• Also: more prototype images straight from Boston Fan Expo.
  
  
  
  
• Studio Series 77 N.E.S.T. Bumblebee is here, and gosh darn it, this release makes zero sense, which may be why they threw spellchecking the packaging to the interns.
  
  
  
  
• It took 7 years, but we have a Transformers Phi Slama Jama in the form of Kingdom Slammer, who joins the ranks of "My Titan Aint Complete Unless I Buy This" club along with Cog, Brunt, and Sixgun.
  
• That catchy jingle means Listener Questions. Meanguns asks re: the Ark: "(heavy sigh) it's gonna get redone as Tidal Wave, isn't it?" and of the plasticizer issue discussed in 283: "does anyone have any specific or personal examples?"
  
  
  
  
• It's been TWO YEARS since the last retrospective, but we're finally picking up the torch as we dive into red-carded Generations, Reveal the Shield, Welcome to 2010, and more.
  
  
  
  
• Bragging rights! What has everyone gotten since last time?

Episode #283 “Awaken! Victory Leo” 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.

• By the time this Twincast is posted, the Victory Saber HasLab campaign has been announced and is well on its way - so listen to our outdated speculation and totally wrong predictions.
  
  
  
  
• 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).

Here we go! The podcast crew gives their thoughts on the recently released on Netflix show. This is the 3rd installment (and final) in the War for Cybertron series. How did the mixing of vehicles and beasts fair? Was the ending of the series satisfying? We'll share our ideas and we'd love to hear yours.

Episode #281 “Netflix Kingdom Reviewed” 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.

Wazzpinator say spoilerzzz ahead… biggezzt spoiler… WAZZPINATOR iZ not in show. Makes Wazzzpinator angry. Stupid rat bot, and bird bot are in it, even car and truck bots, but NOOOOO not the beZt bot. Two cat botzz, but no wazzzp bot.

Wazzpinator reviewz thizz show and givezzz it one star…

Puny human hozt ScottyP reviewzzz and dizcuzzes thiz non-showz episodezzz with silly ghozt bot, Mzr. Starscream, and another stupid cat or car bot, Wazzpinator not know, Tigertrack… they say watch and share…Wazpinator not agree.

Silliness aside, if you want to actually listen to the review by the human crew with each episode broken down by ScottyP with insights and comments from guests- the radiant Mr. Starscream, and the long-missing Tigertrack- give the show a listen despite the fact that Waspinator hates KINGDOM and that there is indeed, no Waspinator in any of the episodes. We do not hold back, so other secrets of the series are spoiled as well.

SPOILERS A PLENTY LISTENERS!



Specifically we talk discuss topics related to voice acting, animation and transformations, character expectations versus character realities, and of course, how does it fair as the capstone to the WFC series. Plenty of things to like and also some things to criticize, as well. And yes, we ran out of time to talk about everything.

We finish up with bragging rights related to the recently released BUZZWORTHY BUMBLEBEE: BUMBLEBEE ORIGINS toy and the KINGDOM: RODIMUS PRIME toy.

Please share your thoughts, insights, likes and dislikes for the third installment of the WFC series below! Chime in on our thoughts and take us further in directions we didn't think of! We’d love to hear your ideas.

NOTE: You can also check out ScottyP's mostly spoiler free written review of the new chapter here.
