It's time again for a fanciful trio of Transformers enthusiasts to blast a Twincast Podcast for our listeners! Join our host ScottyP, as well as Megatronus and newly minted regular cast member Cobotron as they jam to the most recent Transformers news and more.

Episode #231 “Technically Correct” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Here's what we talk about during this episode:

• How close is War for Cybertron: Siege Unicron to reaching the 8,000 committed backers goal now? Not much closer, so go back it! Do it now (if you can.)
  
• There are some juicy rumors being bandied about anticipating War for Cybertron Wheeljack, Hoist, and more. Cliffjumper before Bumblebee? That’s giving me the vapors.
• We take a crack at IDW’s Transformers: Galaxies #1 (preview ]here) and have good things to say because it’s good. Real good. In fact, we recommend checking out episode 229 for an interview with the writer and artist Tyler Bleszinski and Livio Ramonedelli to get an inside glimpse of how this gem came to be.
  
• At long last, our Classics retrospective continues with Universe 2.0. Learn the highlights, lowlights, and what’s held up over time.
  
• …also, did I mention our general enthusiasm for Ultra Class? We miss Ultra Class. Next time on the Classics retrospective: we complete the bridge towards Generations.
• We end the show like we always do - with a round of healthy bragging rights. What have we acquired since the last show? Some big and interesting things, to be sure…

While there are several fans collecting all seekers using the Transformers War for Cybertron Siege voyager tetrajet mold, there have not been many images of all seven seekers together. Getting seven of these in one year has never happened before and the only other seeker molds to have as many (or more) so far is the MP11 mold and the classics mold, both of which took far more than a year to get to 7 characters. With the voyager height favoured amongst collectors as the height for these characters in a classics collection, it's time we took a breather and just looked at what this year accomplished for our Decepticon ranks. Below are the name of the seekers along with where they were available in the US:

Starscream - standard retail release
Thundercracker - standard retail release
Skywarp - part of Amazon exclusive boxset
Redwing - online Target red card exclusive
Nova Storm - part of Target exclusive boxset
Ion Storm - part of Target exclusive boxset
Acid Storm - part of Target exclusive boxset

We thank Sabreblade's contact and TF-fan kev777 for bringing these pictures to our attention. Who else is collecting them all?

• Next up, we delve into the War Stories from the San Diego Comic Con exclusive hunting session. One member suffered a particularly bad sense of luck.
  
  
  
  We ain't afraid of no ghost, but we are afraid of 60-second availability
  
  
• Exclusives segue into some Generations selects talk, where we talk the awesome paint on Nightbird, the sheer doofy fun of Zetar, and the camera package of Refraktor.
  
  
  
  Gobots make their triumphant return

As Haslab's Unicron reaches his final 30 day approach to our homeworld he has sent forth emissaries to tenderize his snack! We're not talking about Hook, Line, Sinker, or even Galvatron here. In classic Seibertron style the Chaos bringer has sent us new galleries of some of the coolest "Weaponizing" Unicron toys that have come along over the years - The Gaia Unicron figures! That's right we now have galleries up for Gaia Unicron, the Gaia Unicron/Optimus Prime two pack, and the baddest of bad dreams the Nightmare Gaia Unicron! We also have separate galleries for Unicron's Micron henchman Bogu (a Japanese word for Kendo armor) which transforms into one of Unicron's spiked arms, and Optimus Prime's Micron pal O.P which converts into a blaster.

These killer chromed Unicrons….Unicri….Unicronions...these multiple versions of Unicron were released between 2012-2013 to coincide with the Transformers: Prime cartoon, depicting the jaw dropping finale where we learned Earth was in fact Unicron, and giant stone avatars of Unicron started springing up from the very ground to fight our favorite heroes.

These were originally only available in Japan but were available to fans around the globe through various on line foreign import dealers at the time. Each of these Unicron figures converts into a spiky space cruiser that when sat upright looks like a mountain with the face of Unicron etched into it. These were also specifically designed to break apart and fit over either Voyager Prime Megatron or Voyager Prime Optimus Prime, hence the Gaia armor name.

The Haslab crowdfunding Unicron project has 30 days left and currently stands at 5660 backers! To sign up and be one of the soon to be legendary 8,000 head HERE to Haslab/Hasbro Pulse to secure your order for the biggest baddie ever there was!

Just click on any of the images to head to their corresponding galleries. Enjoy the views and stay tuned to Seibertron for the Ultimate in Transformers news!

Greetings Seibertronians! As SDCC draws to a close today, we're proud to announce that Transformers Collaboration MP-10G Optimus Prime With Slimer, has got the Seibertron Gallery treatment!

Take a look at this year's SDCC Exclusive below. Click on a photo to be taken to the full gallery.

Transformers X Ghostbusters MP-10G Optimus Prime (192 images)




















Transformers X Ghostbusters MP-10G Slimer (43 images) - Figurine







MP-10G is a redeco of MP-10 but features a retooled roller and a Slimer figure. He also comes with his own proton pack which fits on top his trailer in vehicle mode. The retooled roller now resembles a giant ghost trap. The colour scheme that now adorns Prime in robot and vehicle modes is based off the colours of Ecto 1.

The packaging is also special on this release, it features straps to turn the box into a wearable proton pack.

This was made to celebrate the joint anniversary of both the Ghostbusters and Transformers franchises. This is alongside Transformers x Ghostbusters Crossover Comic by IDW and Ectotron, who features in the galleries as well.

What do you think of this latest addition to the MP-10 repaint family? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!
