Episode 210 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast, "Super Cars", is the first part of a retrospective look at the era of Transformers Masterpiece toys from Hasbro and Takara Tomy known commonly by collectors as the "Super Car Era". Scotty P and Megatronus start out by talking about MP-10 Convoy version 2, as well as the variations on the standard Optimus Prime color scheme released by Hasbro as Masterpiece Optimus Prime. The plethora of repaints of this toy are also examined, with discussion of MP-10B Black Convoy, MP-10Eva Convoy Mode Eva, and many more. After a full hour on just the Autobot Commander, the talk moves on to MP-12 Lambor and MP-14 Alert, known to western collectors as Sideswipe and Red Alert. Their various repaints and retoolings are brought up as well, including MP-12T Tigertrack, MP-14C Clampdown, MP-12G G-2 Sideswipe, and even more. Historical perspective on each release plus the cast members' in-hand impressions of them can be expected for all of the discussed toys. The episodes concludes with the recurring Bragging Rights segment and off-topic banter.
