- “Listening to the very first @trnsmissions podcast for fun. It backfired. I really want a MP Soundwave even more now. Stupid school costing $”
- “@cpshelton asking for feedback since day 1. Lol @trnsmissions”
- @yakk0dotorg @cpshelton @trnsmissions Was totally weird not having an exit from @YousephTanha with the soothing music. Good call adding it.
- @trnsmissions I’ve yet to sit down and marathon the G1 TFcartoon. Also wanna watch the G1 movie. Do I need to watch the show b4 the movie?

- 2 Comments on Episode 58:
- First: “That Columpio is Ultra to Voyager sized, not Masterpiece.” See picture comparing Columpio to FOC Grimlock and Classics Optimus Prime
- Second: That third Atomic Robot tank turns into Yoketron, not Drift. The Boldforms Megatron is a triple changer. It turns into a handgun or a tank. Trianix Alpha is an homage to Diaclone Dia Battles, and he comes with three Soleron pilot figures that can become the chest and shoulders.

Here is the art of Generations Optimus Prime as the torso of the Aerialbots combiner. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/attachments/transformers-toy-discussion/27455874d1406355658-combiner-wars-generations-2015-predictions-_dsc6656_1406226879.jpg
In reply to your response about what is “Masterpiece” size, I would say that modern Masterpiece toys (one made after MP10 Optimus Prime) are all done to scale with MP10 as Optimus Prime appears on the TV series bible scale chart. According to that chart all the Dinobots are a bit taller than Optimus Prime, so any Dinobot smaller than MP10 is too small. Yeah, I know that means Masterpiece Grimlock is too small. That’s probably why a lot of third pary companies are looking at making a bigger MP Grimlock.
The proof that Bold Forms Gladius/Megatron was there in the slide show if you looked closely. It says on the slide for “BF01 Gladius Hand Gun/Mobile Striker”. For some reason they didn’t show the “mobile striker” in the slide show, but you can see some outlines of it on the thread on TFW2005. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/983418-bold-forms-gladius-dark-emperor-another-not-megatron.html#post10621809
Okay, I actually did homework for this episode. Hope it’s useful. I went and took the show bible scale charts of the Autobots, and compared the size of Optimus Prime and Grimlock. Then did some algebra… with MP10 standing 23 centimeters tall in robot mode, most of the Dinobots (except Swoop, who is shorter than his team-mates) should stand about 26.2 centimeters tall. That’s about 10.3 inches. Even Swoop is taller than Optimus Prime though, about half way between a normal Dinobot and Optimus.
Thanks for all the great information Matthew! We just recorded our response in Episode 62 that will be up next week.
I just wanted to say to keep up the good work and your thoughts on this Optimus Prime transformable playstation?
