Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast #240 "Ramping Up"

The Twincast / Podcast from Seibertron.com's latest episode begins with in-hand impressions of the recently released Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise Micromaster teams, the Hot Rod Patrol and the Decepticon Military Patrol. Comparisons with previous Siege Micromasters as well as the Generation 1 toy incarnations of the characters are both covered in the discussion about these toys. After that, leaks of forthcoming products are talked about to the extent possible, including Commander Class Sky Lynx, Titan Class Scorponok, more "ramp" robots in the Battle Master assortment, Voyager Megatron, Snapdragon and Deluxe Class entries such as Arcee and a Quintesson Alicon. The Transformers Card Game from Wizards of the Coast has just announced its fifth wave forthcoming in April with a Titans Return theme to the set, so the cast gives their initial thoughts on this latest installment as well as the state of the game in their local areas. Crossover comic books are up for discussion next, given the recent announcement of the Transformers and My Little Pony crossover from IDW Publishing set to be released this May. After that, a look at the various options available for fans looking to attend unofficial Transformers fan conventions around the globe comes up in the wake of absolutely nothing that would have prompted this conversation. The episode ends as usual with the recurring "Bragging Rights" segment.
