On Episode 179 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast, the group first discusses the reissue of Masterpiece Optimus Prime, to be featured as an SDCC summer exclusive before being distributed to Toys 'R' Us. On the subject of Masterpieces, the cast discusses the upcoming Takara Tomy Mall exclusive cassettes Stripes, Nightstalker, Wing Thing and Enemy, as well as ensuing rumors for future Masterpiece releases. The discussion moves on to the unrealized Botcon concepts revealed and showcased at Pete's Robot Convention.
