The Twincast / Podcast is caught in a web of awesome new toys as the evil Predacon Blackarachnia has shown up on the doorstep to terrorize our Masterpiece Beast Wars collections. Get caught in the discussion with host Scotty P welcoming Megatronus, D-Maximal_Primal and a short check-in with Jon3.0 as they talk about the latest Masterpiece releases, combining trains and so much more.

Episode #236 “Tangled Web” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, 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:

Everybody loves Masterpiece Blackarachnia
Meanwhile, Scotty is in hate with Masterpiece Bumblebee 2.0
We get on the speculation train with irresponsible imaginings of a Masterpiece Raiden
Siege's Leader Class Astrotrain keeps our discussion on track
Megatronus and D-Max aren't feeling the significance of this year's Haul of Fame
Everyone loves animals, so if Beast Wars were to return in earnest, what cool animal modes would you like to see on new toys that weren't used in the past even if they were characters that never get defined in fiction? While the cast ponders that in ways intended and otherwise, re-live some of the best from the past with WilliamJames88's recent top five list about Beast Wars' toy-only characters.
A very brief chat about Galaxies #3 goes down
Black Friday Bragging Rights go quicker than your average doorbuster, but hey, you'll learn something about.. Kiss Players!? Oh no.

I want to add to this that as a retroactive Black Friday haul, I did get that Omega when it was discounted to $112. That counts, right?

Speaking of which, I don't think i remember Omega actually getting talked about on the show, unless i am missing something

Nah, because basically no one got deals on actually Black Friday. That's a good price for Omega!

Is it me, or Does it seem like Omega is not discounting as much as quickly as the other Titans did? Or is that a symptom of him getting pushed back a bit? Or maybe the profit margin is smaller on him this time and the retailers can't... 112 just seems higher than what the others were doing on their respective Black Fridays.

Damn haha

It pays to not have Amazon Prime sometimes, it took them so long to ship Omega that I was able to cancel it before it shipped and not suffer for ordering the first one

Could be a combination of all that, or it could just be selling well enough that there's less incentive to discount it.

Omega is definitely a great titan figure, best of the solo titans/city bots for sure. And his late release has probably helped his holiday value stay high

Oh man, I can't believe I missed that this episode went up until yesterday, how did that happen-oh wait, studying/stressing for my now ongoing finals, that'd do it. Regardless of me being late to the party, this was a solid episode, helped me take a well-needed break.

"I'd love a jet Shatter." Funny you should mention that...

I'm still excited for Siege Astrotrain, but I'm waiting until 2020 to get him after he inevitably goes on sale after being released in Siege and Earthrise back-to-back.

In terms of the Beast Wars questions, here's my answers:
The actual question: probably a moth, that could be cool.
Toys who should be in the show: I agree on Jawbreaker for the Maximals, and for a new Pred probably Manterror.
