Autobots are out there, the truth is out there, and those same Autobots are doing crimes as the crew discusses a classic comic in episode 351 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast. Host Scotty P is joined by Kuhlio, Aaarnhide19, and Mr. Starscream to talk all about some of the latest news and reveals. We also take some serious time for once to look back at the start of the Transformers UK comic series, with a fun and in-depth discussion of "Man of Iron". All this awaits, plus a trip back to 2008.

Episode #351 “Ask Your Dad” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Here's what we discuss in this episode:

• We weren't expecting the pegging to go so well as Hot Wheels Optimus Prime has already sold out
• The toy talk continues with the possible leak of an Autobot Ark 3 pack to serve as a nice counterpart to the Nemesis Bridge set as well as Masterpiece Lift-Ticket and DK-2 Guard adding redecos into the new MPG line.
• Takara may have defunded the police, but plenty of robots that are not cops seem to still be on the way
  
• All the comic talk from last episode speculating on the next comic edition figure reveal has the cast revisit an old classic, The Transformers UK story Man of Iron!
  
• This week's installment of the "40 for 40" segment brings us into the creative and fun Animated year of 2008
  
• Bragging Rights concludes the episode once again - ask your dad for help.

• We cover a few more upcoming Legacy United and Studio Series releases, including Cybertron Starscream, and 86 Blaster. Opaque Eject compels some to sing the virtue of miniature Transformers. Minicons, you say? No, never heard of them.
  
  
  
• The Missing Link has been found, and it is gloriously roast-proof. The only question is: will this be a one-off?
  
  
  
• Do we enjoy the MPG trainbots? Yes we do. Are they excellent robots that turn into trains? Yes they are. Is making them combine into a super robot a good idea? Yes it is. Is MPG Raiden good? The only response to that question - it's time for The Roast to begin.
  
• 40 for 40 is back: the year is 2002. Each member of the Twincast explains their favorite Transformers toy from this auspicious year for the brand.
  
  
  
• We wrap up the episode as we always do, with a round of bragging rights.
