For such a crappy start, there were so many good things in this show. When a well-done homage to a fan favorite concept is not even in the top three, you know it had to have been fire. Then there was the new Amazon Exclusive Gaming Greats Clone and Droid Training 2-Packs. Of course, Masters is just on another level with the new movie coming in hot. My favorite? An Optimus Prime that transforms into the Autobot symbol. But there was so much more.
Play NowThe Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast kicks off Episode 398 reviewing the new teaser images of G2 Menasor and MPG Secret Agent Arcee from Takara Tomy. The cast then reviews the Autobot Symbol Optimus Prime, not metaphorically, but the literal Optimus Prime with an Autobot Symbol alt mode. Listener questions then continue the show starting with a prompt for examples where death was handled correctly in the Transformers Universe. The show then returns to lighter topics like new Autobot leader alt modes, head swaps to create new toy characters, and assembling Autobot/Decepticon strike teams. Listener questions finish up on debate if Beast Wars Megatron was an analytical thinker or a goon when choosing an alt mode. The recurring "Bragging Rights" segment then brings an episode to a close.
This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; after a flawless start without Frank; we get the ball rolling with Special Guest Brett Owen; assisting us with his one good leg! Latest News starts off with a personal addition to Ben's family in the form of a Four-Legged Friend named: Ziggy! Then we venture into the Plastic Meat Ball world of Battle Of The Planets! Mego have a neat exclusive Marvel set that looks very faithful, but has proved difficult to obtain in the past. YHS continue to entertain the Head-Lines with a New Cyptoids announcement in the form of: Bat-Boy! McFarlane & Entertainment Earth combine forces with a tease of more Super Powers figures.... Plus more announcements of G.I. Joe Classified Figures from the latest Hasbro Pulse Livestream. Then Ben goes down the Rabbit-Hole of a New-ish Modern Toyline that genuinely has something for all; including offers for the die-hard Vintage Toy fans too!!

Ben is still recovering so the three Musketeers are at it again. Scot takes us on a trip across the galaxy and comic book history as we look at what might just be the first ever comic book crossover super team. Avengers? Justice League? Never heard of em. Make mine: Defenders of the Earth. These guys are so old school, Scot has to explain where the term "Pulp" Action Heroes comes from! Going a little less further back in time, Trent debuts a new segment called "From the Archives" where we delve into the mind of 1990s Toyfare Magazine writers to see just what they were smoking. And much like the 90s itself, things are a little, funky. We also preview another new segment and some of our upcoming international travels! It's all happening! Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
For a week when there "wasn't much going on", there's still plenty to talk about! Mattel seem to have worked out the livestream formula. Frank is possibly out on one line of Turtles - but in deep trouble with another! Todd does Todd things while Gatchaman makes some waves. Is Scot on the hook for a second Hot Toys figure? We then recap the grand finale of our good friends at Radical Rewind who go out on possibily the best sequel of all Time.

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; we get the ball rolling with another Classic Round of The Team.

Centurions & Bravestarr; join forces to build the Ultimate Good-Guys Crew! Consisting of the stand-out Characters that fit the criteria of: Leader, Muscle, Specialist & Wheelman. Plus an Iconic Vehicle they can get around in! (Spoiler alert, there aren't many characters to pull from this round, so be ready for some clear winners & some heated debate too!

In honor of 420, its time to look at some of the weirdest, and wackiest toys ever designed. You really have to wonder, what were they on when coming up with some of this stuff. From poorly thought out labels to accidental nightmare fuel, child endangerment and even a pre-cursor to Siri - combined with, water? Then it's another edition of The Team from the wonderful world of TMNT - but ONLY the Turtle variants. And the choices are not as simple as you might think!

This week on The Middle of Culture, we close out our dive into Transformers with Transformers One, last year's animated prequel that tells the origin story of Optimus and Megatron. We rave about how shockingly good it is—beautiful animation, heartfelt storytelling, and voice performances that actually make you care about robots punching each other. Along the way, we talk about Sanderson's declining prose, the “YA-ification” of modern fiction, the decline of mass-market paperbacks, and why we'll always have a soft spot for dumb robot movies done well.Episode NotesOpening BanterPeter returns from travel (Boise and Napa), happy to be home.Eden vents about a rough week and hostile engineers during digital accessibility training, complete with an on-campus shooting alert mid-meeting.Peter describes an incredible dinner at Bistro Jeanty in Napa (truffle deviled eggs, beef bourguignon, and chocolate croissant bread pudding).Books & ReadingPeter finishes Murder Your Employer by Rupert Holmes (yes, the “Piña Colada Song” guy)—a darkly funny and satisfying story about the McMaster's School of Homicide.Reads Artificial Condition, the second Murderbot novella, and starts Write Your Novel from the Middle.Discussion on how story structure midpoints define theme and cohesion.Critique of Brandon Sanderson's Wind and Truth: great worldbuilding, but noticeably weaker prose since losing his longtime editor.Eden speculates that the issue might extend to the whole fantasy industry—less editing, more aesthetic consumerism, and the death of the mass-market paperback.Broader talk on the “dumbing down” of fiction and the rise of YA and “New Adult” markets catering to comfort rather than challenge.Music & Games CornerPeter dives into rediscovering Psychotic Waltz, Psychonaut, and Oramet—bands that balance progressive creativity with restraint.New release highlight: PowerWash Simulator 2.Eden tests two disappointing gacha games (Duet Night Abyss and Resonance Solstice) and finally uninstalls all HoyoVerse titles.Back to Final Fantasy XIV, excited about the new patch allowing full cross-class glamours.Main Feature – Transformers One (2024)Both agree: it's the best Transformers movie ever made—heartfelt, gorgeously animated, and genuinely emotional.Plot rundown: Orion Pax (Optimus) and D16 (Megatron) rise from the oppressed underclass of “Cogless” robots, uncover Sentinel Prime's corruption, and witness the birth of Autobot vs. Decepticon ideology.Core theme: friendship, betrayal, and revolution—the tragedy of two friends who believe in justice but choose different paths.Voice acting highlights:Brian Tyree Henry's nuanced Megatron is phenomenal.John Hamm nails the duplicitous Sentinel Prime.Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth have real chemistry, even if Hemsworth is the weakest link.Laurence Fishburne brings gravitas as Alpha Trion.Keegan-Michael Key's Bumblebee is purposefully annoying but fits the tone.Praise for the movie's subtle callbacks to the 1986 film (“You don't have the touch or the power”), strong emotional beats, and sense of earned tragedy.Both lament how poorly it performed at the box office—“we are part of the problem”—and hope it gets a sequel.Brief detour comparing the animated film's depth to the shallow chaos of the Michael Bay series.Closing ThoughtsTransformers One feels like the first time the franchise truly understood its own heart.Recommendation: watch it—it's smart, emotional, and fun as hell.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we are still sending 'Get Well' Cards to Trent, as he unfortunately misses this ep. But that won't slow us down; as Scot has a fantastic rundown on the Greatest Star Wars Movie - that never was! Yes - the infamous 'Shadows Of The Empire!' Famously worked into 'cannon' between the Original Films of: Empire Strikes Back & Return Of The Jedi. This wasn't just a Story or a Comicbook series - this was a Multimedia Project that also spanned into a Soundtrack, Video Games and of course a self-titled line of Toys! Was, or is this, the biggest Movie that never was?! Then keeping in the same similar theme of Movies; we transform into another round of The Team! With this round focusing on the Autobots that where released in 1986 (The Movie Year). This was a lot of fun! But we would love to hear some future ideas for The Team Comp - as we are starting to run out of ideas! Thanks, and as always - Enjoy!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
