Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast #242 "Arise"

Episode 242 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast catches up on the first wave of products for Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Earthrise. With most of these products available for collectors to have in-hand now, opinions are shared about the Leader Class figures Astrotrain and Optimus Prime, Voyager Class Grapple and Starscream, Deluxe Class Hoist and Ironworks plus many more along the way. These lead to a look ahead to the recently announced Trailbreaker and Sunstreaker from the same series, plus Takara Tomy's slightly altered take on the Quintesson Alicon. The Beast Wars resume next with MP-48 Lio Convoy arriving and impressing the cast with its superb engineering and uncanny replication of the character model. A look at some recent Transformers comic book releases from IDW Publishing follows all of that, featuring a look at Transformers: Galaxies' fourth and fifth issue, plus brief thoughts about the ongoing Transformers title's issue number 17. Once that's all out of the way another round of the recurring "Bragging Rights" segment closes out the episode.
