Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast #208 "Everyone Gets Counterpunched"

Episode 208 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast is hosted by Scotty P and Counterpunch as "Everyone Gets Counterpunched". The episode kicks off with discussions of some recent Transformers toy releases, including the Cyberverse Ultra Class Shockwave. Additionally, the Generations Power of the Primes Deluxe Class Punch / Counterpunch figure is discussed in detail, including the minor assembly error present and how collectors can quickly and easily improve their toy by making one small fix. Takara Tomy's reveal of the upcoming Encore Big Blue Convoy leads into a short lauding of Bumblebee Movie toys being available for preorder on Hasbro Toy Shop, as well as the reveal of MPM-7 Masterpiece Bumblebee based on his rendition in the upcoming Bumblebee Movie. After this, the show's feature topic begins with a retrospective look at the history of Transformers Masterpiece toys from both Takara Tomy and Hasbro. Beginning back in 2003 with MP-1 Convoy, the podcasters go through each era of Masterpiece toy history and relate their own experiences with those perceived from the wider collecting audience. Through the early releases, MP-10 Convoy version 2 and the "Super Car" era, into the modern era of Sunbow-G1 inspired designs, Beast Wars, and Movie Masterpiece, this discussion gives a wide overview of the line and some historical perspective for any Masterpiece collector.
