Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast #254 "Redlining Sixth"

Play NowEpisode 254 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast provides an overview of the latest Transformers news, beginning with Generations Selects' latest upcoming offerings, Rotorstorm and Tigertrack. Both are repaints of previous War for Cybertron: Siege Deluxe Class releases Spinister and Sideswipe, and also have the distinction of being the namesake characters for two of the show's regular participants. In-hand looks at the quickly revealed and released Exhaust and Greasepit follows, with the Generations toy discussion concluding after that with a chat about Centurion and the weapons pack that comes with it. The featured discussion topic for the episode comes up next with in-depth - albeit mostly negative - opinions provided regarding the non-transforming action figures based on the Transformers, known as the Robot Enhanced Design or R.E.D. series of 6" "scale" toys. After comprehensive comparisons to similar lines such as Marvel Legends, Star Wars' Black Series and even Gundam Universe, a quick mention of the upcoming G1 Blaster reissue occurs. Next, impressions of the Transformers Collaborative crossover figure with Back to the Future are provided. The toy, Gigawatt, is a retool of the War for Cybertron Siege Sideswipe mold and the cast talks about its design as well as its questionable initial release where almost all of the toy's stock was purchased by re-sellers running automated software to secure orders. The recurring Bragging Rights segment concludes the episode.
