A rather interesting, and unexpected, piece of news for you all today from Amazon Prime Video, but we have word from our very own xRotorstormx, whom you may recognize from the Twincast Podcast hosted on this very site, of a new collector-focused series by the name of the 'Plastic Crack Documentary Series'. The series follows some of the most influential collectors of our modern media as they explore different facets of what it means to be a collector. There are currently four episodes, making up the show's first season, up on Amazon. Unfortunately, the show is not included under Amazon Prime's included programs, so interested parties will have to buy them individually.

Of interest to us is the fact that our aforementioned beneficiary xRotorstormx was directly involved and features throughout the series, though they reportedly have a devoted segment later on in the run.



For those interested, the series can be found in full here. Let us know what you think of the series in the forums below if you decide to watch it, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news and reviews.

The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is gearing up for another year of toys and tie in media. Your host ScottyP along with Megatronus, Cobotron, D-Maximus and Jon3.0 discuss their in-hand thoughts on this year's newest plastic offerings, what toys are up next, and comics and media news.

Episode #215 "New Year, New Toys" is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Here's what we talk about during this episode:

• We kick off the show with Siege Leaders Shockwave & Ultra Magnus - ScottyP and Megatronus have them in hand, and do their best to make the other cast members drool.
  
• ScottyP similarly got his paws on the newly released MPM6 Ironhide, and provides some tips on how not to break yours.
  
  
• On Studio Series, we discuss how we're going to fit the delicious #38 Bumblebee Movie Optimus into our collections, and compare the #31 Battle Damaged Megatron with its tidier predecessor.
  
• The cast pines after the upcoming G1 reissues - Soundwave, Gears, and Warpath are all on the horizon - and gear up for the hunt at Walmart.
  
  
• ScottyP is obsessed with Energon Igniters Soundwave, which totally isn't the beat up van your uncle used to sell Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead t-shirts out of in the 70s. Now the rest of us are obsessed too.
  
• We answer illustrious News Crew member william-james88's question: "Have you noticed any improvements in distribution this year over other years? Were toys that you wanted easier to get than before?"
  
• Coming out of nowhere, we wildly speculate about dropped hints about a potential Beast Wars animated movie. If you couldn't tell, we are fans of the idea.
  
  
• We talk briefly about the IDW reboot, and some of the plot points and core concepts revealed thus far. We also take a look at some of the cover art revealed thus far, and hope for some strong stylistic choices going forward.
  
  
• Of course we close out this episode with a short round of Bragging Rights.
