The episode discusses recent Transformers product listings, critiques a comic book issue, and explores potential franchise reboot ideas.

Play Now Episode 397 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast begins with the cast providing impressions and their preordering decisions for recent listings including the Collaborative FIFA Optimus Prime, an awkwardly timed patriotic Star Eagle, and the collector-centric Monstructor boxed set. Prompted by the dramatic story events within, a lengthy discussion occurs about Skybound's 30th issue of their Transformers comic book series, leading to criticism about its execution and pacing in the midst of praise for Robert Kirkman's willingness to try something new. This leads to a listener question about the brand's pivot into focusing on its legacy, with the cast providing potentially unpopular suggestions for how to re-boot the franchise in radical new directions. Listener questions about Overgear and triple-changers round the topics out before the episode concludes with the recurring "Bragging Rights" segment.
