Episode 232 of the Twincast Podcast begins with an interview with Hasbro's John Warden which was conducted this week at the 2019 New York Comic Con. Mr. Warden provides insights and information about the next chapter of Hasbro's Transformers Generations War for Cybertron trilogy, Earthrise. Following the interview, in depth discussion of the newly revealed products from the show begins. The latest Voyager Class Starscream takes cues from the older Classics design while Soundbarrier and Ironworks show a lot of potential for more Micromaster base playsets down the road. Other figures such as Optimus Prime, Hoist, Grapple and Wheeljack show a distinctive G1 cartoon inspired direction for this lineup of toys. New Cyberverse toys made a small appearance at NYCC with new Deluxe Class figures that impressed the cast. In another surprise from Cyberverse, it seems there may be some pointers taken from the Marvel Legends action figures with what looks to be Cyberverse's very first build-a-figure in the form of Maccadam. The episode concludes with a brief discussion on the trading card game and the new faction that has just been revealed, including potential strategies for using some of the new Mercenaries characters in the game.
