The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast presents its 260th episode which is all about the latest Transformers toy and entertainment news from the just concluded Hasbro Pulsecon 2020. This virtual convention brought several official unveilings of the next year's Generations products, specifically those from the War for Cybertron trilogy's third installment, Kingdom. A new poster with fun battle scene artwork provides hints of future installments for the line, such as Polar Claw, Inferno and a transforming Autobot Ark that becomes The Last Autobot. The so-far confirmed mix of Beast Wars and Generation 1 characters were shown off early in the week with looks at Core Class Rattrap, Deluxe Class Cheetor, Voyager Class Cyclonus and Leader Class Megatron. After providing thoughts on these early looks, the cast talks about the toys revealed for the first time during the convention's livestreamed panels, with chat bouncing around from products such as Core Class Optimus Prime and Voyager Optimus Primal to the new "Fossilizer" Maximals and Predacons like Vertebreak and Paleotrex, and even to the G1 entries such as Warpath. A break for preorder chaos occurs before discussions pick up with the 10th Anniversary reissues for Transformers Prime, featuring Breakdown, Air Vehicon and Darkness Megatron. The Prime Arcee entry to the R.E.D. series is also discussed before some quick analysis of leaked information for the future of Studio Series. Images of the next version of Masterpiece Starscream are checked out next, looking very impressive in just gray model form. The episode finishes up with thoughts on this year's Hall of Fame entry, Knockout, as well as the next Netflix installment of War for Cybertron, Earthrise whose first official trailer was shown at the convention.
