Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast #261 "Ratchets, Tigers and Planes"

Episode 261 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast begins with a discussion on the upcoming Abominus box set from Takara Tomy, set to appear in the Generations Selects line. They discuss the varying color schemes, new parts, and the box set experience versus the original individual Power of the Primes releases. The conversation moves to MP-52 Masterpiece Starscream, which has recently gone up for pre-order at Hasbro Pulse and Amazon Japan with new images - the cast shares their opinions on the Masterpiece line's new direction, and a lively discussion ensues. Hasbro PulseCon's Pit of Judgment boxed set is the next topic, and the cast members share the differences between the exclusive and retail versions of the Quintesson Judge, as well as dive into the strengths and shortcomings of the deluxe Alicon figure. The cast also touches on deluxe Earthrise Arcee, another 1986 movie-inspired figure which is a natural fit for this Pit of Judgement set. Masterpiece discussions pick back up with in-hand impressions of MP-50 Tigatron, another stellar Beast Wars Masterpiece release. MPM-11 Movie Masterpiece Ratchet is appearing at Target, so cast members share their assessment of the final 2007 Autobot cast member to appear in the line. Generations Selects deluxe Barricade receives a brief mention before the crew touches on the Transformers / Back to the Future crossover comic, and the episode ends as it frequently does, with a round of bragging rights about what the cast has acquired since the last recording.
