Hot on the heels of the Overload deployer gallery Seibertron is proud to bring you our latest gallery entry: Deployer Blizzard Strike Drift with Mini-Con Jetstorm!
These 2 characters are repaints of their regular show paint schemes in the blizzard themed blues and whites with some clear icy plastic. Some images are mirrored below for your enjoyment.
What do you think of all the new paint schemes? Like the blizzard theme going on recently? Let us know in the comments section and stay tuned for even more Seiberton galleries to come!
Welcome to the latest edition of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast! This episode features your host, ScottyP along with Counterpunch, Megatronus, Rotorstorm, and Tigertrack! Sit down, tune in, and enjoy as we discuss all the latest news, toys, comics and more.
Episode #137 "The St. Valentine's Day Toy Fair" is available directly and in our RSS Feed and should appear on iTunes, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
Even though it's Valentine's Day weekend, we are excited that Toy Fair is finally here! (P.S. thank you to all our significant others for taking a little time away to talk about Transformers for 2 hours )
Our very own Seibertron is in the thick of the excitement in New York City and will be updating us throughout the night with new photos and videos. Even though over the last few months we have seen many images leaked for the upcoming Titans Return line, we are still keeping our fingers crossed for some new and exciting figures.
First up, in all his glory, we'll discuss the new images of Titans Returns Fortress Maximus and the clever way in which he was revealed.
(Head On, Apply Directly To the Forehead)
So many pictures, so little time! As we take a moment to paruse the amazing photos coming in to the Seibertron Galleries, the Twincast discusses some figures that were teased prior to Toy Fair but left us feeling unsatisfied, until now. Powermaster Prime, Wheelie, Blurr and Scourge made their "in the plastic" appearance and you'll have to tune in to hear what we think of these updated characters.
It wouldn't be Toy Fair without the reveal of a new Platinum Edition set, right? Well this time, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie, this year's (K*Mart exclusive ) is Cyclonus, Scourge, and a Sweep! Do we need another Cyclonus? Oh wow, is that Devcon from Botcon? Listen in as we get this early impression a bit wrong.
Of course, we can forget about this lovely ray of sunshine, Sentinel "Not Ginrai" Prime:
(Ouch, my eyes!)
We decide to step away from the Titans Return line and focus on another line with some pretty neat reveals, Robots in Disguise. With 2016 being the anniversary of Beast Wars, and no official announcement from Hasbro that they are planning new figures - does the newly revealed Scorponok toy show that they might just be teasing us?
Another interesting Platinum set has also been revealed, a Robots in Disguise Grimlock and Bumblebee set. We're excited to have another opportunity at Takara's Battle Grimlock retooling, and of course, another Bumblebee "Supreme Mode" deco for our swarms.
Then the conversation just gets depressing, in terms of sports anyway. Panthers, you had one job.
After that short off-topic interlude, we try and figure out what is up with Windblade all of a sudden?
This girl had some work done.
Thanks to Toy Fair, we've finally been shown a more accurate version of the fan built bot Victorion. Does this new image change our minds on her? Guess you'll have to tune in to find out.
This one did too, and she looks a bit better.
In celebrate of the 20th Anniversary of Beast Wars, we continue on with our special segment on rewatching the television show. In this episode, we'll discuss our thoughts on episode 2, the simply titled "Beast Wars: Part 2".
Prepare to see this image in our posts a lot this year!
We finish up tonight's episode, in celebration (man another celebration? Geez) of Valentine's Day, with a question that we are sure everyone has had to deal with.
I can feel my heart beat fast-errrrrrrrr
Well, that wraps things up for another episode! We really hope you enjoyed listening.
Don't forget, the show only gets better if you tell us how. Drop us a review on iTunes and be sure to tell us what you love, what you hate, and what you want to hear!
Not on the show to give your take? Probably not, so don't forget to keep the discussion going on the Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums by simply replying to this post!
Got a question for the Twincast? We take all of them, we just don't take them all seriously! Leave a question in the Ask the Twincast thread and, if it makes the cut, it may get read and answered on the show.
Seibertron has a new gallery for you today: Transformers Robots in Disguise Deployer Overload with Mini-Con Backtrack
This new Deployer figure can fire the new minicons which turn into balls, called cyclones. This should come as good news to those who already bought these new minicons, through the four pack for instance, and seeking extra playability.
This is also the very first toy release of the new character, Overload, who will be introduced in season two of Robots in Disguise. With the recent New York Toy Fair reveals, it appears this will be the only toy class to have this character, at least for the near future. This Deployer pack should be available at retail very soon.
Have you been buying the Deployer figures? If not, would this figure be your first? Let us know!
A few days ago we brought you a gallery of the recently released Combiner Wars Sky Lynx. Now it is time to take a look at the G1 version, the Encore release anyway. Sky Lynx was one of those molds that Hasbro licensed from other companies. In this case the company was Toybox which is also where Omega Supreme came from. This Encore release is the first time G1 Sky Lynx was available in Japan.
What are the differences between the vintage version and Encore you ask?
Red Plastic is darker on Encore, lighter on G1
White plastic is off white, whereas G1 version is brighter white
Metal screws and rivets have gold tint on Encore instead of silver on G1
Mouth gun is painted a dark magenta or purple color, which is red on G1
Inside of mouth is painted red on Encore
Eyes of Lynx mode are now painted light blue
Gold chrome is lighter or a more subtle shade on Encore, darker on G1
Stickered "windows" on left rear side of shuttle was corrected to have circle removed finally!
Toybox stampings replaced with Tomy 2007 stampings
Click the images below to view the entire gallery. Go on and take a look.
As an update to the gallery we posted yesterday, directly from New York and the 2016 Toy Fair taking place, Seibertron.com is proud to present its new iteration of the Titans Return line present at the Hasbro showroom, now with more close-ups, more comparisons, more images - just check out a sample below, and click on any of the images for the full works!
Note: You can also take a moving look through our video coverage of the display, here.
We are taking a break from your regularly scheduled Toy Fair news to bring you galleries of Transformers Combiners Wars Sky Reign and his components Sky Lynx, Smokescreen, Wheeljack, Trailbreaker and Hound which comprise the 2nd wave of 2016 Combiner Wars. Sky Lynx is the only new mold in this wave while the rest are retools and repaints. Wheeljack is a retool of Breakdown and features the most retooling, Hound is a retool of Swindle, Trailbreaker is a retool of Offroad and Smokescreen is a repaint of Prowl. Click on the images to see the full galleries.
Hot on the heels of the Masterpiece MP-27 Ironhide gallery, we are proud to present galleries for Encore Emergency Green Ratchet, Encore Protection Black Ironhide, Encore Ratchet, Encore Ironhide and Dark of the Moon Cannon Force Ironhide.
Encore Emergency Green Ratchet was released in 2008 as a Japanese mail away exclusive to those that purchased the Transformers Visualworks book. The green deco is an homage to the way Ratchet looked in the live action movies. ¹
Encore Protection Black Ironhide was also released in 2008 as an New Years Specail e-HOBBY redeco. The included bio states that the black coating was to help hide Ironhide from his enemies. There is a bit of a debate to whether this deco was an homage to the Diaclone toy or to the the way Ironhide appeared in the live action movies. ²
Encore Ratchet is a 2007 reissue in the TakaraTomy Encore line. These versions of the toy came with cardboard cut-outs of the robot head to help emulate the look of the original TV series. The weapons platform also has some retooled clips to help Ratchet stay connected. ¹
Encore Ironhide is a 2007 reissue in the TakaraTomy Encore line. Much like the 2007 Encore Ratchet, this version of Ironhide also comes with the cardboard robot head cut-outs and the weapons platform retooling. ²
Dark of the Moon Cannon Force Ironhide is a 2011 G1 inspired redeco of the Dark of the Moon Voyager Class Ironhide. ³

Remember to keep your browsers pointed to Seibertron.com for the latest in Transformer news, the largest Transformers galleries found on the web and the liveliest Transformers discussion this side of a space bridge.
We are proud to present, you young nut-bolters, a new addition to the Seibertron.com gallery database, venturing back into the Transformers Masterpiece toy line from Takara Tomy with MP-27 Ironhide! From its first odd toy incarnation, through some less than excellent toys in the years, Ironhide seems to have always received the odd end of the axle - does this latest product of engineering and design make up for it though?
Find out by clicking on any of the images below, as the toy is shown in both its Cherry Vanette vehicle and glossy red robot mode, along with all its accessories (which can be stored in the battle sled) such as his Laser pistol, Static Laser Gun, missile launcher, and wrist sonodar. If those still don't convince you, change his demeanour with two extra alternate hands, four nozzles, chest screen, and two additional facial expressions!
Welcome to the latest episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast. This episode comes at you maximized with host Scotty P, plus reliable shipmates Megatronus, RodimusConvoy13, Rotorstorm, and Tigertrack.
Episode #136 "The Gathering" is available directly and in our RSS Feed and should appear on iTunes and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
We once again get warmed up by taking a look at some of your listener questions, and this gets started out by a pressing, sticky issue from News Staff member WilliamJames88. Hopefully this one turns out with a level orientation.
Half measures
SillySpringer keeps us rolling with a question about brick and mortar retail. The cast discusses their frequent hunting spots, and we also try to take a quick look ahead at the spring retail season to come.
Reveal the Shtore. For the hunting. What?
Longtime friend of the show Sabrblade offers up our next question. This question is best digested with full context, so to get that, be sure to not only check out our last episode, "The Road to Multiverse" if you haven't already, but read through the discussion that followed! Oh, and yes, you can certainly keep it going if you'd like.
Fiction leads to enabling. Enabling leads to toys. Toys lead to suffering FUN.
Talk then shifts to current events a bit, and things start to get beastly with our thoughts on Sins of the Wreckers Issue 3. What mad theories await, and which of them makes a certain host's expectations of delayed gratification even more painful? Tune in to hear some fun thoughts about the series and this issue while we patiently await the conclusion.
You mean you didn't read Spotlight: Springer: Origin Backstory Journey Formation? Wait a minute...
The beasts take a back seat (mostly) for just a moment, as we wrap up current events chatter by taking a look at the continuing saga of Titans Returns leaks. With Toy Fair just around the corner, what surprises may still be in store?
Chokon Power! Wait a minute...
After this, it's time for a new segment: a "Pick One" throwdown! This episode's clash is between Combiner Wars Bruticus and Combiner Wars Superion, and each cast member can pick which of these they prefer and use any version to justify it. A surprisingly specific example leads to a winner, and if you'd like to go ahead and spoil it, check out the amazing Seibertron.com Gallery of the consensus pick here.
Which bot will win the Rumble and head to Wrestlemania to face HHH? Wait a minute...
DAWN OF THE RE-WATCH! For the 20th Anniversary of Beast Wars, which is now upon us, the cast embarks on the Axalon for a re-watch of the Beast Wars TV series - or at least the first episode. Join us on a march down memory lane, as we experience the first skirmish of the Beast Wars once again. Be sure to let us know your thoughts on this segment, because it might be sticking around for quite a while. If you'd like to follow along, don't forget that Shout! Factory's DVD set of the series is still available at a great price.
Look, Laser Discs might be an old format, but isn't this a bit exaggerated?
The show isn't quite over after that, as we then take a gander at some of our favorite board topics from the past few weeks. Follow along as we check out each podcasters pick:
That wraps up another episode, we sincerely hope you enjoyed the show.
Don't forget, the show only gets better if you tell us how. Drop us a review on iTunes and be sure to tell us what you love, what you hate, and what you want to hear!
Not on the show to give your take? Probably not, so don't forget to keep the discussion going on the Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums by simply replying to this post!

If any of you are thinking of double dipping on Combiner Wars Superion with the G2 version, Seibertron now has a full gallery ready of all six individual members and the combined form in this glorious deco.
Please rest assured that this G2 Slingshot won't break like the old one did. For those who don't know, the original G2 Slingshot suffered from heavy breakage with minimal wear due to the fragile gold tinted plastic he was made of, referred to as Gold Plastic Syndrome (GPS). That is why you will find no video review of the original G2 slingshot being transformed. Actually, I take that back because Seibertron has something special for you all. Below you will find an actual clip of Seibertron himself transforming G2 Slingshot without it crumbling to dust (which I believe was one of Hercule's 12 labours). Having this nice whole Slingshot also lets us bring you some full comparison pics between the new Combiner Wars G2 Superion and the original G2 Superion, something else you probably won't ever come across. You can get to the galleries of any character by clicking the pictures where you will also find comparison pictures to the original G2 version of every character (yes, even G2 Slingshot). If any of you are curious, Seibertron even has full galleries of the original G2 toys.
