Our Transformers Go! galleries continue, as we proudly present Go! Kenzan Kuromusha Version and Gekisoumaru Kurojishi Version!

Gekisoumaru and Kenzan are the latest to step in front of the camera, but these two are the black repaint versions.

Clarification of the purpose of these remolds courtesy of fellow Seibertronian Sabrblade:

Sabrblade wrote:These represent toy-only powered-up forms of the two, after having been enhanced by the powers of the Black Legendisc.

Kenzan was a TRU Japan exclusive repaint of Kenzan, and you can see the original here and Gekisoumaru is a Nemesis repaint of the original mold, which you can also see here.

Continuing in our gallery offerings here at Seibertron.com, we have a blast from the not so distant past with three Transformers: Prime, Beast Hunters and Go! figures. By clicking on any of the images below you will access the full gallery for the larger incarnations of two faction leaders, Autobots and Predacons, with the latter in both Hasbro and Takara garbs!

Guren Dragotron and Beast Fire Predaking both share the same mold, and come with Infernum Blades, accessories, as well as an impressive wingspan and electronics, but different decos, with red, black and yellow (and the name) replacing the orange, black and silver of the Predacons Rising figure in the Go! version. Optimus Prime, on the other hand, shows off an impressive cleaver sword, shield and rotating Firebreath Cyclocannons and electronics.

We here at Seibertron.com are pleased to present to the general public a trio of updates to our ever-expanding galleries; ladies and gentlemen, enter Generation One Million Publishing Skids and Screech and Encore Skids! Skids and Screech, redecoes of the original Skids and Crosscut respectively in decoes evocative of Revenge of the Fallen Skids and Mudflap, were released in 2009 as a mail-away exclusive to those who purchased Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 3. Encore Skids, also a 2009 release, features a slightly tweaked deco and a handful of tampographs in addition to stickers. As usual, if you would like to be taken to each full gallery, click either the links or the images themselves to be taken to them!

New Galleries: G1 Reissue Ultra Magnus, Movie Preview Version Ultra Magnus and Matrix Glow Magnus

Given the recent release and coverage of the latest Takara Tomy offering in the Masterpiece line - MP-22 Ultra Magnus - here at Seibertron.com we've taken the opportunity to look back on some older toys deserving of gallery treatment: the G1 Reissue Ultra Magnus, Movie Preview Version Ultra Magnus and Matrix Glow (Shining) Magnus!

All three appear in 2000/2001, sharing the same basic mold (the classic Diaclone redeco of Powered Convoy) with an Optimus Prime/Convoy basic robot-truck, and a trailer that becomes its armour. What the Reissue differed in from the original toy was mostly in the package, and included all the same accessories, from guns to missile launcher to fists. The other two, however, while coming with all the same parts, showed off very different decos (as you can see below): 'Shining' Magnus in its yellow translucent plastic, was somehow meant to show the Matrix glowing moment at the death of Optimus Prime in the 1986 movie, and the Movie Preview Magnus was a nod to promotional material of the animated feature, showing the red, black and blue deco (like its Diaclone predecessor) to the character rather than its final colours. Find out more about them in the galleries by clicking on the images below!

Seibertron.com is proud to present our newest gallery: Masterpiece MP-11SW Skywarp

Skywarp is based off of the MP-11 mold, which permanently replaced the MP-03 mold, which was used the last time Skywarp received a Masterpiece release, back when Walmart carried them. You can see the differences between the MP-03 and MP-11 molds by clicking this link here, and then check out the full gallery of Takara-Tomy's newest high quality release by clicking on any of the mirrored images below.

To kick off the weekend, Seibertron.com brings you another installment of photo galleries, and we turn once more to Takara Tomy and it's Legends time today. Check out below a selection of images showing off the latest incarnation of what once was a Macross VF-1S Super Valkyrie - LG07 Leader Class Jetfire! The Japanese counterpart of the Hasbro Generations toy (comparison shots included) features all the same weapons and removable mask, and pretty much the same deco and paint scheme; exceptions are the lack of chrome on the red parts, some additional leg paint apps, more detail on the Autobot symbol and other very minor touches, making it look more and more like its IDW character. Check them out for yourselves by clicking on any image below!

Last time, Seibertron.com brought you Masterpiece Bumblebee. But can you deal with Takara Tomy's next Transformers Masterpiece figure, MP-22 Ultra Magnus? The leader of the Autobots (albeit briefly) comes with two human sidekicks Daniel and Spike Witwicky, the cab can be detached from the trailer and is pretty much identical to MP-10 Optimus Prime's, the trailer is compatible with all Masterpiece cars released so far, and even most of their G1 predecessors! Also included are storable weapons and an additional face for expression changes, also capable of being stored in the figure itself, and a matrix chamber in its chest. Head below for a sample of the extensive gallery for this addition to the collector's line of transforming robots, and click on any of the images to view the full works.

The time has come to take a stoll down memory lane and reflect upon the highs an lows of 2014...it's time for the Awesome Twincast Year In Review Extravaganza of Opinions!



First up we will discuss our favorite media (TV/Video Games/Books/Internet & Mobile Content)



What was our favorite comic of the year? I think it was a unanimous decision!



Our favorite Age of Extinction toy? (are you surprised we could even think of one?)



Up next, we'll discuss our favorite Generations figure was of the year.



The Masterpiece line certainly had some amazing releases this year so we will discuss what our personal favorite was, which may be pretty obvious!



Next up, our favorite exclusive of 2014!



There were quite a bit of impressive third party releases this year, the crew had a hard time pick

and of course we conclude our 2014 recap with the our least favorite of the year...



On that note, with the 30th Anniversary coming to a close, we discuss the highlights and where we think Hasbro/Takara missed out on.



2015 is looking promising with Combiner Wars but you'll have to tune in to hear our predictions and we will see if they come true!



The crew would like to thank Wheeltron for tonights Listener Question!

Of course we finish up the night with an exciting round of Bragging Rights.
