Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast #256 "Netflix and Siege"

Episode 256 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is all about the just released Transformers TV series War for Cybertron Chapter One: Siege, which is available to stream now exclusively on Netflix. The cast members provide their thoughts on the overall plot and its similarities to other Transformers fiction released over the past decade. The various supporting plots such as those involving Ultra Magnus, Bumblebee, Jetfire, Shockwave and others are also looked at, along with how they contribute to the acceleration in action and character development as the series progresses throught its six episodes. Extensive time is then spent on additional characters and their voice performances, with some like Starscream and Jetfire impressing while others such as franchise stalwarts Optimus Prime and Megatron left the cast feeling less than enthused. Other feedback is provided on production aspects of the show such as the quality of the animation, sound, score, other visual effects and even camera tricks used to add more transformation sequences into the story. The discussion of this latest TV series concludes with wishful thinking and speculation about the next chapter in the War for Cybertron trilogy, presumably knows as Earthrise given the toy line in stores now. After fielding a listener question about desires for the Generations Selects toy line-up, the show concludes with the recurring Bragging Rights segment where cast members boast about their latest Transformers toy and product acquisitions.
