Grab your Doritos and diet double dew, because it's definitely due time for a discussion date doting on daft new Transformers with the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast. Join Cobotron, Megatronus, Rotorstorm and ScottyP for another round of weekly quarantine listening that dives into yet more Seacons, the latest Movie Masterpiece reveal and even some extremely irresponsible speculation about unknown toy listings.

Episode #247 “Fish 'N Chips” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Here's what we talk about in this episode:

• MPM-10 Starscream has been revealed so we're set to opine on the toy and compare what we can to the MPM-1 Masterpiece and Hunt for the Decepticons versions.
  
  
  
• The remainder of the Seacons are out, at least for some of us.
  
  
  
• There's good reasoned speculation, then there's our round of totally irresponsible speculation related to these weird Walmart Megatron and Soundwave listings.
  

Stay tuned next week as we bring you another episode that starts our trail into Cyberverse season 3 while tackling some of your burning listener questions!

We're going to need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle, because we ain't saying "Hasta La Vista, Baby" just yet. That's right, the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is back yet another week to help you pass the time and keep your imagination in overdrive. Join Cobotron, Megatronus, Rotorstorm and ScottyP as they talk at you from a safe distance about Transformers and maybe not-so Transformers topics ranging from big orange apes to franchises of blockbusters past.

Episode #246 “Crossover” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Cooped up and looking for some easy distractions from the unfolding apocalypse, here's what we discuss:

• MP38+ Burning Convoy is out and in ScottyP's busy hands, and he has some insights into how this worthy addition stacks up to previous MP38 editions as well as against similar bright translucent candy colored apes.
  
  
  
• "Come with us if you want to live"... is what we're saying about the new Transformers vs. Terminator crossover. While Alex Milne's designs continue to please, #1 of this 4-issue arc leaves something to be desired. Read Seibertron's review, here.
  
  
  
• Bragging Rights are here at last, and Megatronus excitedly bogarts the whole thing with something decidedly not Transformers... but hey, this might bode well for a future crossover.
  

Stay tuned next week as we bring you another episode about comics, cartoons and cabin fever.

AHOY! Join the largest Twincast crew in quite awhile with ship's captain ScottyP the Host, and sailing pirate crew Counterpunch, Cobatron, Megatronus, xRotorstormx, and cabin boy Tigertrack in a super-appropriate, totally brand new, work from home format. Our topics this time include lots of exclusive toys-- a couple a little select bots by the name of Turtler and Gulf (or Snaptrap and Skalor for some), Walmart Exclusive NETFLIX War for Cybertron Siege Ultra Magnus revelations, and newly visualized Takara Tomy Exclusive Super Megatron--. We finish with some thoughts on one of our most recent comic releases, the 2nd part of the Cliffjumper Galaxies segment, Transformers Galaxies #6. Arrr-you ready, maties?

Episode #245 “On a Boat” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

First up, Hasbropulse finally shipped out Seacons 1 and 2. Even though some cast members have had them in hand for over a month, many are just getting to experience them. What do we love about Turtler and Gulf? They exist (and more)! Is there anything to dislike? Tune in to lots of discussion on these NEW AQUATIC COMBINING Decepticons. More preorders are available if we've softened your hearts to these wonderful beasties.



Next on our agenda is the 'cancel per-order' click heard round the world as we discuss the in hand images and revealed contents of the Walmart Exclusive NETFLIX War for Cyberton Siege Ultra Magnus. Are you keeping your pre-order? SPOILERS AHEAD, MATIES!



As if a normal Megatron isn't bad enough, now we get to see what the Takara Tomy Exclusive Super Megatron actually is. Are you impressed? Are we? Am I?



And finally, we finish with a discussion of one of the most recent (and last for a while) pieces of Transformers media out there, Transformers Galaxies Issue #6. ScottyP previously wrote a review of this issue, but the rest of the Twincast get our turn for sharing about this FUN issue.

Back again to cure your real folk blues, it's the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast. Join Counterpunch, Megatronus and Scotty P as they chat about some of the more recent Transformers comic book releases, Mini-Cons, imaginary TV series and more. After all the toy talk, this one's for our media and general discussion crowd and follows a similar format to the previous episode.

Episode #244 “Call Me Maybe” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Here's what we talk about in this episode:

• Transformers #18 plus a little bit of issue #19
  
  
  
• Using our most potent powers of possibly misplaced optimism, we think about the latest comic's (at least slight) turn-around and reflect on other times where something in Transformers seemed kinda junky at first, but eventually grew on us.
  
  
  
• Learn more than you ever wanted to know about Armada Mini-Con Inferno
  
  
  
• With Cyberverse winding down and the next TV installment looking like a bleak, grimdark departure from that, we reflect on possible alternative approaches to Transformers television media that could appeal to kids and adults - all in an extremely poorly introduced segment, so hopefully you read this post first!
  

Stay tuned next week as we bring you another episode about, uh, well it'll be about Transformers but that's all we know so far! Thanks for listening.

Don't let the shut downs and distancing give you the blues, because the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is here to get you through the rust plague like Rodimus Prime never could.

Episode #243 “Mega Teeth” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Worn out and weary from a whirlwind weekend of wonderful reveals, here's what we discuss:

• Viz Media's release of Transformers: The Manga Volume 1 has us excited.
  
  
  
• The crew that wasn't present last time to talk all about Generations WfC Earthrise takes their turn telling Scotty all the ways his opinions were wrong. We promise this is the last episode with Earthrise wave 1 as a topic.
  
  
  
• Bragging Rights show up earlier than experienced listeners may expect!
  

Stay tuned next week as we bring you another episode about comics, cartoons and a certain miniature Inferno.

A new line of Transformers Generations products has been out for a short while and the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast was so wrapped up in Toy Fair coverage that the actual newest releases slipped by the wayside. Join host Scotty P and Cobotron as they remedy this situation by dissecting much of Earthrise's first wave before talking about Lio Convoy, Transformers: Galaxies and much more.

Episode #242 “Arise” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Here's what we talk about in the episode:

• Earthrise wave 1 - the topic. We get down to business and share our impressions of the start of this year's Generations lineup.
  
• Beast Wars Masterpiece MP-48 Lio Convoy is in-hand, so we talk about him and the state of the MP line.
  
• Oh right,Trailbreaker and Sunstreaker are coming.
• Takara also shows us an Alicon that still doesn't answer our most pressing question about the toy.
• A small round of comic book catch-up begins with opinions on Transformers: Galaxies #4. Spoilers ahead from 1:52 to 2:22!
  
• Comics talk continues with (a still spoiler-ific) discussion of Transformers: Galaxies #5 and Transformers #17.
• The episode concludes with the traditional round of bragging rights.

The grand spectacle of Toy Fair 2020 rolled into town, giving us jabber jaws plenty to gab about on the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast. Join your host ScottyP alongside xRotorstormx, Cobotron, and a brief drop in from the Boss Monkey himself, Seibertron as they discuss and react to all that was revealed at the (with echo) BIGGEST SHOW OF THE YEAR!

Episode #241 “Toy Fair 2020” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Worn out and weary from a whirlwind weekend of wonderful reveals, here's what we discuss:

• First off, straight form the Toy Fair floor, our very own Megatronus had a chance to interview Ben Montano and John Warden from the Hasbro Transformers brand team and also both high ranking officers in the War for Cybertron
  
• We dive head first into Generations WfC Earthrise and do our best to try and touch on everything we saw.
  
  SNAP IN TO IT! Oooooh yeah!
  
  
• As if Toy Fair wasn't enough deliciousness to digest, we gorge ourselves on the latest goodies from the rumor mill
  
  Damn mosquitos!
  
  
• Judging by the Trailer for the forthcoming Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy, Siege cartoon series we can all agree the art looks great! But, will the story live up to its look?
  
• Accompanying the new show comes a slew of rebranded repaints from Siege. Are we ready do it all again, for the first time?
  
  Crasher! Is that you?
  
  
• Generations aren't the only pretties on parade, Studio Series brings in some heavy hitters as well.
  
  Move over bacon, now there's something meatier!
  
  
• Cyberverse makes a good showing with some "Best of" characters, and some oddly exciting rookies to the mythos.
  
  There's a new sheriff in town.
  
  
• It isn't Fair, but it is Fest. We jump to the other side of the globe to briefly discuss Takara's Wonderfest 2020 reveals of Masterpiece Arcee and Tigertron
  
  Here kitty kitty!
  
  
• And while the majority of us wait patiently for the Earth to Rise, we wrap up with a very brief round of bragging rights.
