The latest episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast, "SDCC 2017", focuses on the Transformers news that came out of the just concluded 2017 San Diego Comic Con. Hasbro introduced their 2018 Generations product line, Power of the Primes, during the convention. The cast takes a look at Leader Class Evolution Rodimus Prime, Voyager Class Starscream, Deluxe Class figures Jazz, Dreadwind, and Blackwing, Legends Class Beachcomber, and the Prime Master Liege Maximo with Skullgrin decoy shell. Along with providing their thoughts on the figures themselves, the cast speculates along the way about the other potential figures that could be present in the line, as well as the possibility of new combining character sets. They also discuss the overall storytelling potential present and how that may or may not relate to the work done by IDW Publishing in the Transformers comic book universe. IDW's breaking stories from the convention are discussed as well, with the revelation that Unicron will be making his way into the Hasbro comic universe in 2018. The show concludes with a discussion and analysis of the latest comics releases, Rom vs. Transformers Shining Armor #1, and the fantastic Optimus Prime #9, "The Life of Sideswipe".
