Thanks to Seibertronian Cyberpath, we've been alerted to some brand new stock images of upcoming Earthrise figures! Dengeki Hobby Web has posted some new images of Deluxe Class Fasttrack and Megatron. There's not a lot new to see with Megatron- he does have his more Earth-style tank mode, and he does have some battle damage paint applications that buck the trend of nearly all Earthrise figures not having ANY battle damage (he and Hoist seem to be the exceptions).
Moving on to Fasttrack, there's more to note than we've seen before. There are new shots of his back and also with him disassembled into his component pieces. 'Modulators' in this line are meant to be disassembled and reassembled into different configurations instead of having a typical integrated transformation. We also see his interactivity with Zarak and Scorponok.
They've also posted new pictures of Elita-One1 and Bumblebee from Wave 2 of the Netflix line. Despite being Netflix Siege figures, these two have no battle damage whatsoever, unlike the heavy battle damage decos of other Netflix figures. Given that they're both remolded from Earthrise figures, and the fact that Volkswagens were never manufactured on Cybertron, it makes sense.
While these figures should be showing up at U.S. retail in the next month or two, Elita and Bumblebee aren't scheduled to be released in Japan until January of 2021.
Let us know what you think of these new images! Bumblebee looking like a mini-Masterpiece to you? Do Megatron's pictures give you a thirst for tyranny? Has Elita-One1 improved on her donor mold? Is Fasttrack's new Triple-changer status even more appealing? Share your thoughts below!
Thanks to our own Sabrblade, we have some interesting news about the
Armada episode 'Remorse'- a second English dub of the episode had been discovered!
Wait.... Armada? And an episode that aired nearly 17 years ago?? Apparently, it was discovered that a streaming service, TubiTV, used the Shout Factory version of the Armada series (instead of the original release on Rhino DVD) and in that episode, a second English dub was discovered that slightly changes some plot details, as well as some lines changing significantly. Read on to discover what Sabrblade found out.
Sabrblade wrote:Soooo... here's something we never knew existed.
According to a discussion on this TFWiki talk page, a discovery has been made that episode 40 of Armada, "Remorse", was given a second English dub that contains some lines altered from its original English version, as well as the Unicron Battles version of the opening that original premiered with episode 41 instead.
The new lines that have been changed feature a new filter on the Autobots' voices that make them sound even more metallic and monotone than before, and now their dialogue mentions Smokescreen's name having been changed to Hoist two episodes earlier than when his name change was first brought up in Episode 42.
Further details on this are as follows:
Fred had his first line extended from "Is there any way we can fix Optimus?" to add, "the way we fixed up Smokescreen? I mean Hoist?", which required starting the line sooner and made his speech overlap with the animation of him just crying. Red Alert's response was then rewritten some to fit in another mention of Smokescreen's deal, going from...
"I'm sorry. It can't be done. Optimus's body released its Spark when it blocked the Hydra Cannon's blast, and without it, there's no way we can bring him back. I wish there was some way we could, but we're just going to have to pull ourselves together and carry on without him."
to...
"No. I'm sorry, we can't. Optimus's body released its Spark when it blocked the Hydra Cannon. We saved Smokescreen's Spark and were able to reformat him into Hoist. I wish there was some way that we could but... we're just going to have to carry on without him."
And sure enough, in the next scene, "Try and be more careful, Smokescreen!" was replaced with, "Please, try and be more careful, Hoist."
This discovery was first found on the Tubi TV streaming version of the episode, and has now been confirmed on Twitter to also exist on the Shout! Factory DVD release of the series, while the original Rhino DVD release had only the first dub version.
This makes me wonder if there might have been any other dub changes made at the time in any other episodes, which could also be found on the Shout! Factory DVD set.
Have any of you Armada fans noticed anything similar, if you have both DVD releases? Let us know below!

Up next, we give our incredibly (and purposefully) wrong answers for what we expect to be unveiled at Hasbro's Fan First Friday Event.
A low-res poster has been leaked that suggests our favorite Beast Wars characters may be making an appearance in the War for Cybertron trilogy!
Along with this Beast Wars rumor, a list of potential figures we may see in the Kingdom line has been discovered. Well, not so much a list as a collection of posts found by scouring the internet.
The Transformers x Top Gun collaboration figure has finally gone up for pre-order and with that, we get a closer look at Maverick and his accessories.
Take me on your mighty wings tonight
It looks like the Studio Series line is not quite dead yet as some new listings have been uncovered.

Thanks to a tweet from the account @NXOnNetflix, we have official confirmation of the next line in the War for Cybertron Trilogy franchise: Kingdom! It shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, given the poster that we reported on earlier had the franchise name right on it. The tweet (which you can view by clicking on the picture below) has a new video as well, which takes the posters with Cybertronian lettering, and changes them into English letters which, of course, spell out KINGDOM. Furthering the connection to Beast Wars are two emojis, of a gorilla, and a Tyrannosaurus.
So are you excited for the franchise to revisit the fan favorite series? Let us know what you think below!
Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian Nemesis Primal, we've been alerted to a post on the official Transformers Facebook page regarding the upcoming Fan First Friday event. This coming Friday, July 17th at 6:30am PST/9:30am EST/2:30pm BST/11:30pm AUS, Hasbro will have a lot of new stuff revealed on Pulse. Check out the announcement below and click on the image to be taken to Hasbro's page, which states that more than TEN new figures are to be revealed.
Since SDCC won't be happening in person this year, it's a pretty safe guess that at least one figure will be one intended for that convention. So what do you think these reveals are going to be? Speculate away below!
Thanks go to Hasbro (and fellow Seibertronian Aronjlove) for letting us know that the final trailer for the quickly approaching War for Cybertron: Siege series is available to view!
Netflix and Hasbro, Inc., in partnership with Rooster Teeth, today released the final main trailer for Chapter One of the highly anticipated TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON TRILOGY, premiering on Netflix July 30, 2020. The Series raises the stakes of the Autobot and Decepticon war with Chapter One having six, twenty-two minute episodes, complete with a new animation look and style that presents the TRANSFORMERS bots like you’ve never seen them before. The TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON TRILOGY plunges us deep into events that live at the heart of this legendary franchise, with SIEGE shining a spotlight on a critical timeframe in TRANSFORMERS history on Cybertron.
TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON TRILOGY: SIEGE begins in the final hours of the devastating civil war between the Autobots and Decepticons. The war that has torn apart their home planet of Cybertron is at a tipping point. Two leaders, Optimus Prime and Megatron, both want to save their world and unify their people, but only on their own terms. In an attempt to end the conflict, Megatron is forced to consider using the Allspark, the source of all life and power on Cybertron, to “reformat” the Autobots, thus “unifying” Cybertron. Outnumbered, outgunned, and under SIEGE, the battle-weary Autobots orchestrate a desperate series of counterstrikes on a mission that, if everything somehow goes right, will end with an unthinkable choice: kill their planet in order to save it.
Rooster Teeth (RWBY, gen:LOCK) is producing the original series for Netflix, and Polygon Pictures (Godzilla, Knights of Sidonia) is serving as the animation studio. TRANSFORMERS veteran F.J. DeSanto (Transformers: Titans Return, Transformers: Power of the Primes) is serving as showrunner on the series with several contributing writers, including George Krstic (Megas XLR), Gavin Hignight (Transformers: Cyberverse), and Brandon Easton (Agent Carter, Transformers: Rescue Bots).
The Series voice talent cast includes Jake Foushee (Optimus Prime), Jason Marnocha (Megatron), Linsay Rousseau (Elita-1), Joe Zieja (Bumblebee), Frank Todaro (Starscream), Rafael Goldstein (Ratchet), Keith Silverstein (Jetfire), Todd Haberkorn (Shockwave, Red Alert), Edward Bosco (Ultra Magnus, Soundwave), Bill Rogers (Wheeljack), Sophia Isabella (Arcee), Brook Chalmers (Impactor), Shawn Hawkins (Mirage), Kaiser Johnson (Ironhide), Miles Luna (Teletraan I, Cliffjumper) and Mark Whitten (Sideswipe, Skywarp).
Not only that, but the communication from Hasbro included this final line
More details regarding Chapter Two, TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON TRILOGY: EARTHRISE and Chapter Three coming soon.
This confirms that we're not only getting an Earthrise cartoon, but we may learn the title of the final chapter in the War for Cybertron Trilogy sooner than we think!
July 30th can't come soon enough! What do you think, fellow Seibertronians? Let us know in the comments below!
The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast returns with ScottyP channeling the spirit of J.J. Dillon by summoning his four horsedudes - Counterpunch, Megatronus, Tigertrack, and Rotorstorm - as their plastic visages pave the path for the end times and some world championships of cigarette smoke laden explanations. Grab some nucleon and your Action Master partner, we're about to Super Collect Figures based on the Transformers franchise brand from Hasbro.
In Hasbro's first Transformers Fan Friday (on June 26th), they revealed the latest Generations Selects: Rotorstorm and Tigertrack. Rotorstorm and Tigertrack react.
Selects Centurion Drone was also revealed; the real story is the weapons pack to help you complete ALL the figures. More please.
Selects Exhaust and Greasepit are reaching some fans. Some minor critiques, but overall the crew is happy these are coming.
Alternate Universe Optimus Prime, AKA Dead Prime, is available for preorder on Amazon. We slap Prime around a bit while ultimately looking forward to his July 15th release date.
Transformers RED Series is coming, and some of us are seeing red. We apologize for that joke. But actually, this is where we get into some philosophical deep cuts, especially with more on the way.
Another G1 Reissue is dropping at WalMart - this time, it's Blaster. We talk about what's new, what's different, and what's weird.
Speaking of new, different, and weird, how about the Transformers collaboration with Back to the Future? The bots seized the day on the limited Walmart exclusive; humans will have to wait until the October fan channel release.
We close out this episode as we often do, with a round of bragging rights.

Here is some fun for any fan of mazes. From the official Takara Tomy Twitter account, we see an announcement of a collaboration between the Transformers brand and maze artist Meiro Yoshikawa. We now have the nicest mazes we've ever gotten within the brand. They are very intricate, Dom Cobb would be proud, and are made more for older fans. You will see all five below. Two are of the fraction symbols and the ones with Bumblebee and Megatron happen within their outline while the Optimus Prime maze happens within him. It's my personal favourite. Have fun!
Did you miss us? It's another episode of this little thing we like to call a podcast. Scotty P is here piloting us to another adventure in speculation and reflection.
He can't shake'em, as Cobotron and Tigertrack, shake and bake from one theory to another helping to push us all to the finish.
Will we see an official Black Zarak now? Or is this the extent of his reference?
I broke down and ordered a shirt and so did Scotty P. Did you? Fan First Friday Transformers was t-shirts.
We spend some time with IDW Transformers Issue #20 "Rise of the Decepticons". Content was written months ago, and yet its release, here and now, is very timely. We try to treat this issue's controversial topic with sensitivity, understanding and perhaps, new perspective.
As a mood lightener, we also have some fun playing spot the bot in the audience at 'Swindle's' as we marvel at this crowd scene by artist Anna Malkova. Whom do you see?
And for our finale...bragging rights...
Cobotron insists that he is the mightiest! Who's going to argue?
