Play NowIn the latest episode of the Twincast/Podcast, "S.O.S. Dinobots," podcast crew regulars ScottyP, Megatronus, RodimusConvoy13, and xRotorstormx begin by describing their favorite figures from Wave 1 of the Power of the Primes toy line. Dreadwind tops the charts. The conversation moves towards the controversy around Power of the Primes Jazz, and the 'MAGA' inscription tampo-ed on his side in Cybertronian letters. Less controversial is the Street Fighter II crossover, featuring some fan favorite video game characters in Titans Return bodies. The episode takes a turn towards the Masterpiece line. First, a run down of MP-12+ Sideswipe details the portions of the deco that have changed since the original release. Second, the crew discusses the now fully revealed Masterpiece Dinobot, the virtues and accuracy of its robot and alt-modes, as well as the figure's eye-popping price tag. Third is Movie Masterpiece Barricade, with the accuracy of the figure's modes called into question in addition to some reminiscing about the 2007 movie experience and the fandom's collective recall of those now iconic character designs. The crew moves on to comics talk with Optimus Prime 13, and the convergence of loose, unresolved threads from the last couple years of IDW storytelling, including the fate of the Throttlebots, the location of the Dinobots, the re-emergence of Bludgeon and Prowl, and continued Unicron speculation. The episode ends with descriptions of our holiday wish lists, as well as Black Friday bragging rights.
