ToyFair 2020 is on the horizon, but as we bide our time plenty of spycraft and whispers have made their way to the latest Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast. Join Scotty P, Cobotron, and Megatronus for reactions to Earthrise leaks, wild Beast Wars movie speculation, a cavalcade of convention options, and all the usual banter you never knew you wanted to hear until you heard it. Brace yourselves, and prepare to be boarded.

Episode #240 “Ramping Up” 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 in the episode:

• Scotty's got Wave 1 Earthrise Micromasters in, and they're the bee's knees. Meaning they have knees.
• Earthrise leaks give us a full look at Commander Skylynx, Titan Scorponok, rampity ramp bots, and more.
  
• Two new Transformers films are reportedly in development, including one on Beast Wars. Cue screeching guitar.
• Titans Return has, ahem, returned as the next wave of the Transformers Card Game.
• Another Transformers comics crossover is in the works - this time with My Little Pony. Kneel before your new queen, Twilight Sparkle.
  
• Sometimes it's hard to remember how far reaching the Transformers fandom can be - we go into cons big and small, and wish we could go to at least a few.
• Things conclude as they usually do with a round of bragging rights.
  

Stay tuned for the next episode when we catch up on the just announced Wonderfest reveals and all the latest from New York Toy Fair 2020!

Greetings everyone. With all the Transformers Earthrise figures starting to show up at brick and mortar retail, it is only natural that we should have a commercial to accompany the release of this line. In the commercial we get a CGI intro with Astrotrain entering Earth's atmosphere with Optimus Prime and Cliffjumper taking aim. It then cuts away to show off some of the different products that will be part of Earthrise's wave 1 set of figures, while being narrated by Optimus himself. It definitely sounds like the work of Jon Bailey doing his Prime voice. Check it out below. Note the version of the Optimus Prime figure they use here has the yellow eyes and grey hands.



Earthrise hype continues to build with the figures getting into peoples' hands earlier than the expected March release of wave 1 and with NY Toy Fair just over a couple of short weeks away, excitement continues to grow as we prepare for the the full unveiling of some highly anticipated figures!

Are you pumped up for Earthrise after watching the commercial? Let us know in the comments below and keep it tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers needs!
