The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is back for Toy Fair 2019 with episode 217. Wonderfest 2019 from the prior weekend are also discussed during this installment which is nearly exclusively about newly revealed Transformers products to be released sometime during 2019. The Wonderfest reveal of a new Armada Optimus Prime and Star Convoy start things off, with the Beast Wars Masterpiece MP-46 Blackarachnia following thereafter. MP-45, the second Masterpiece version of Bumblebee, continues our look at the upcoming Masterpiece lineup with the cast discussing whether or not the shift to cartoon accurate robot modes in the line has gone too far. Movie Masterpiece MPM-8 Megatron and MPM-9 Jazz then carry the discussion over to the new Studio Series toys such as Hightower and Dropkick in his car mode which were seen at Toy Fair. A quick mention of Generations Selects G2 Megatron is followed by the cast's take on the Ghostbusters crossover figure, Ectotron. The Generations: War for Cybertron: SIEGE line takes center stage after this, with Commander Class Jetfire and Titan Class Omega Supreme getting long looks from the crew. Other toys such as Impactor, Springer, Mirage, and more take us through the forthcoming Generations releases. Some brief impressions on Cyberverse and its Scraplet take us into the recurring Bragging Rights segment to conclude another episode.
