Tenía este episodio que he grabado hace unos días para más adelante pero os lo pongo ya y os doy un respiro hablando de alojamientos (la segunda parte sobre ese tema llegará la próxima semana) Daniel Monzón, uno de los colegas que conozco desde hace unos años del mundillo del coleccionismo retro, estuvo en Japón hace ya casi diez años y nos cuenta su experiencia. Nos habla del calor que se sufre en suelo nipón, lo que le impactó del país, y nos centramos bastante en una feria de masas como es el Tokyo Game Show. Espero que os guste y nos vemos la semana que viene. ¡Ah! Gracias por estar ahí 🥰 P.D. Me he confundido con el Tokyo Toy Show del 1994, no el TGS del 95 como digo... Comentamos que queremos volver a Japón, si lo hacemos no nos faltará el seguro de viaje. Si lo tramitas con Chapka viajarás con tranquilidad y además ayudas a este pódcast.

Seibertron.com brings you episode 226 of the Twincast / Podcast, which starts out with discussion of the latest new Transformers toy announcements from Tokyo Toy Show 2019. The Seacons and Piranhacon are forthcoming in the Generations Selects lineup, with talk about these toys focusing on the potential base toolings used for various characters. Takara Tomy's Masterpiece lineup continues with Lio Convoy from Beast Wars II and a bonus figure of show character Artemis adding additional questions for the cast to consider. Recent reveals from the later waves of the Generations: War for Cybertron: Siege lineup are analyzed next, with a chat about Leader Class Astrotrain, Voyager Class Apeface with Spasma, and Deluxe Class figures Spinister, Crosshairs and Ratchet. Speculation on how some of the engineering will work on certain figures along with contemplation surrounding the deco of others is covered. The toy talk moves on to in-hand impressions of more War for Cybertron: Siege products, with Deluxe Class Refraktor / Reflector, Commander Class Jetfire and Voyager Class Springer all receiving lengthy analysis. Quick speculation on delayed product releases leads to a listener question about how the Masterpiece lineup further separated collectors into different areas of focus and changed Transformers collecting as it was known. After all of that, the recurring Bragging Rights segment featuring cast sharing their recent Transformers toy and product acquisitions closes out another episode.

In this 201st episode of the Twincast/Podcast, "Sweet Boy", the discussion begins with the trailer for the Bumblebee movie and the positive reactions from it. The cast talks about the apparent tone of the upcoming film based on the small sampling available, comparing and contrasting it to other Transformers live action films. The Transformers episode of the Netflix Original Series "The Toys That Made Us" has been released, and the crew shares their thoughts on the episode and the series in general. In toy news, Masterpiece MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron has been revealed and is on display at Tokyo Toy Show, and the size of the figure is now apparent sparking more conversation. Other recent Masterpiece reveals are discussed covering Police Type Sunstreaker, Toy Deco Megatron, and Toy Deco Shockwave. After that, story, art, characters, and thoughts from the final chapter of IDW's Wreckers saga are shared in a chat about the recently released Requiem of the Wreckers. After the crew tells what Hasbro or Takara reissues of G1 figures they'd like to see, the episode finishes with a quick round of the recurring "Bragging Rights" segment.
The latest episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast, "Moonbase Gray", begins with the cast having a conversation about recently reveale upcoming Transformers Masterpiece toys, including Dinobot, Sunstreaker, and an updated Sideswipe from Takara Tomy. The surprise reveal of another MP-10 Optimus Prime reissue from Hasbro is used to wrap up the chat about Masterpiece. Items revealed at the recent Tokyo Toy Show from the Transformers Legends series come next, with the cast sharing their excitement about upcoming releases like Six Shot, Misfire, and others. Brief talk about drill tanks leads into a quick in-hand opinion on Legends Godbomber. Things switch over to some thoughts about the very soon to release Transformers: The Last Knight film, as the amount of trailers and TV Spots now available to preview the movie has reached a high number. The episode shifts into IDW comics as news of the cancellation of Till All Are One hits the cast hard. Lost Light's just concluded first story arc, "Dissolution", is also a topic of debate for the podcasters. The show closes out with the Twincast freestyle, where the participants are free to bring up any Transformers related topic not already discussed during the episode.
Seth and Vangelus talk loads of Transformers, from SDCC to Trans5mers hopes, and from Tokyo Toy Show news to Listener Q's. And then a smattering of on-topic What We Gots! This totally excuses the 20 minutes of Overwatch chatter at the end. We checked with a lawyer.
Vangelus's jackhammer noises distract TJ while Aaron longs for his incoming space shuttle. Tokyo Toy Show and Trans5mers reveals are ahead!

We start the show with a continuation of our Beast Wars Season 1 rewatch. The Beast Wars fun continues after that as the cast members "draft" characters for a fantasy team of robots in three fun rounds. A critical look at the most recent comics releases follows, with both The Transformers #53 and More Than Meets The Eye #53 in the crosshairs. A special topic about the place of music in the Transformers universe, inspired by the recent Sony Music release of the Roll Out album, continues the show, and this features both a review of the album as well as thoughts on how the cast imagines a Transformers soundtrack should be. May Mayhem kicks into high gear after this, with thoughts and even repair tutorials for the Fan Built Combiner Wars Victorion set. This is followed by the anti-climactic small release of Deluxe Groove and the impact that had this week, and we then wrap up toy discussions by moving into our thoughts about the recently revealed Tokyo Toy Show exclusive Loud Pedal from Takara Tomy. Robots in Disguise's 2nd season finale is discussed as well, along with some thoughts about how the show has progressed since the start. We wrap up with a quick bragging rights segment featuring some unique curio additions to our collections.

Reports say the Eaton Corporation may sell off its automotive components group to concentrate on areas outside the industry. Honda and Nissan slashed their EV prices recently and it was only a matter of time before Chevy followed suit. Later this week at the Tokyo Toy Show, Toyota will debut a new battery electric vehicle. All that and more, plus a closer look at Lexus’ 3rd generation IS.
