   Hey, we can always use more combiners. There are pleanty of G1 combiners left we have not seen made. Mostly the Japanese ones, with the Trainbots, Multiforce, Breast Force, Battle Gaia and Guard City. Plus there were all the G1 Micromaster combiners, the many G2 and Shattered Glass combiners, and there might even be a market for third party RiD Rail Racer, Ruination and Landfill.

   I wonder if maybe Hasbro could do the IDW style Devastator with the upcoming Generations style toys. They use one Voyager, 4 Deluxes and a bonus Legends figure. So maybe Long Haul the Voyager body, have Hook, Scavenger, Bonecrusher and Mixmaster as the Deluxe limbs, and a Legends Prowl who forms the head on top of Long Haul. It could work.

   I do have a question for your next show on this topic. One of my third party Transformer toys is FansProject Glacialord. It’s much more affordable than the larger modern third party combiners. I think the limbs for Glacialord were about $40 each. Do you guys like the idea of making retro-combiners in the old Scramble City setup like this? If you were to make a new combiner in this style, what would you want to see?

   Here are two ideas of mine:

   1. Make a 5 Decepticon combiner who is made up of Vehicons. All the limbs are very similar in body style (a jet, a car, a helicopter and a hydrofoil maybe?) which are all colored black and purple. Then the body is a massive tank Vehicon.

   2. Make a 5 Decepticon combiner whose limbs are all the exact same mold – an F-15 fighter jet. The limbs are colored like Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp and Air Warrior (or some other generic Seeker). Then make the body be Stealth bomber Megatron. Of course Starscream would be Megatron’s “right hand man”.

   Well, I guess im gonna warm it up after all…
   Prepare for the “bombing run” boys!!!
   Comments:
   Love the cold intro, you guys and your banter!
   Not too sure on the steel core membership bit but I do like the fig it seems to me at least its own thing (but the “power master/heart master I think its called is a little too close for me) but yeah I kinda dig steel core a bit, but just for it own thing/ original character and all…sorta.
   Barr…er, I mean Big C, I hope you get to feeling well soon when you read this, but you did have a “extra deep voice” this week.. ”cant get enough of transmissions podcasts baby”…..
   The collector club figs, I don’t know for me there mostly hit or miss..some are ok, some not so much.
   Im not too sure the 7th mode for six shot is called a winged wolf, I think that’s one of the normal 6 modes not the secret one I think…ok, the tf wiki calls it “wingwolf” ok maybe half points to you and all on that on. What a stupid name!
   The rubber tires bit on 3 p toys, hmm look at hot wheels guys. I don’t think they have any as well and there only cars, you would think those at least would have rubber tires on them, it all comes down to the all mighty dollar I guess…
   I did not hold my breath for more than one ep a week of transmissions, but I won’t bitch about more than one when it happens, and Yoshi you may want to “reconsider” me living in your mind rent free or not. This will make so VERY…. Awkward…conversations in afraid, of how much we think/are alike …or how much we would scare one another. And plus I think our wives would have something to say about it, but thanks for the offer though.
   …The fun I could have, perhaps I should reconsider…I would ALLWAYS make the list!!
   And yes I do remember the who shot jr episode of Dallas, the ep per say but the “media wave” it caused, t shirts and all…….Man am I old…
   Nice haul Yoshi!! I remember my g-1 prime as well that was a great fig, and I wish I knew what happened to mine, but I’m glad you got your “grail” buddy, congrats!!! Enjoy it well my friend, enjoy it well.
   Ok the comic review, I don’t have it handy or anything but the one panel that you have the “mirror” images of the two lost light(s) mirroring one another gives clue(s) to the origins to my screen name, and what had happened as well.
   Big c I have seen a fan made version of a all-FEMALE (here he goes YET again!!!) combiner group, it was focused on projectile guns and such, EX: handguns crossbows, machine guns ETC. this was done in a fan done tech spec style not real figure(s) made or anything, but I did think of that you when you mentioned a all-female combiner team on the podcast
   Did not miss the Sh*t Jake Dalrymple says in the last podcast or two, it was REALLY kinda nice, ya know lets put HIM under the knife and see how he likes it!! Where is that book veterinary medicine for dummies? oh jake HAS IS, ok….

   Questions:
   Ok c beast called it a “decoder” now im thinking he SHOULD have called it a “decowlder” the deackels /decals thing and all, or am I in the wrong here buddy?…DE CALS…hmmmm? Ok, ok ill stop poking fun at you, sorry Yoshi..
   Jeremy got the podcast together, do tell how this came about?
   If and this is a “if”, I heard from the seibertron.com podcast that a company got hold of the G-1 reflector mold and made their own run of those figs, so are they in your minds a knock offs or not?
   If you did make a X men movie and since Yoshi already has a part .. “professor”, what is the rest of the transmissions podcast crew playing as /roles?
   C beast you talking smack on voltron!!!WHAT!!! com’on man!! Were you deprived as a child or something??!! We need to talk! to some, “dems fightin words”
   Well that’s enough for now, (I wanted to go light on you guys this week) and I hope this keep you guys going for a bit today and can’t wait to hear the answers that you give.
   Take care and as always a OUTSTANDING podcast and the light I look forward to down loading every Tuesday morning before work @ 3:30 am..yeah I know.
   “Dual Mirrored Gridwork”
   I know the last entry I was on my cell phone and added the e in duel and not the a, thought someday I do seem to fight with myself too often and all I guess…

   Where to start?

   Great job! Ya we’ll start with that. Excellent work gents and thanks for putting in the time and effort to make the podcast what it is. I look forward to it every week! Excellent G1 Prime Score Yoshi!

   Ok this decal/deckle is getting ridiculous. As I proved on twitter Darryl and the rest of us Canadians are justified in our pronunciation of it. I could go on about this but it’s best saved for a later time…over a beer perhaps. Also what Canadian pronunces it “aboot”? I’ve never said it like nor have I have heard a few country mate say it like that????? lol it’s only said when we’re imitating and American imitating a Canadian. I’ll give you the “eh” we do say that…but you have “y’ll” so we’re even…ish

   Moving on!

   Glad you enjoyed the meme’s. I’m sure more will pop up.

   FPCore: I was under the impression that you got the 4 items with the membership which I think Jeremy varified in the podcast…which I’m hoping is the case becasue I’m more excited for FPcore offerings the anything the Collectors club is puking out.

   Combiners: Darryl nailed it with the 3rd party combiner fatique, where each company seems to jump on the band wagon of whatever is the next hot item. It was really nice to see FP Intimadator being done while everyone else was all over predaking. Now it seems like dinocombiners are next? I’d like to see 3rd party move into original ideas for combiners instead of jumping on the band wagon of the next thing. This said it’s nice to see Hasbro taking a serious run at combiners again because frankly that FOC bruticus was terrible. Also an updated Landfill and Rail Racer would be nice as well.

   Questions:

   Darryl…What is your ultimate plan with these Value Village finds? Do you find trying to complete the figure more costly then just getting an already complete one?

   Jeremy…How’s fatherhood treating you?

   Charles…IF you hear something that isn’t correct but you know the person ment something else can you hold yourself back from saying something?

   Yohsi…Why the name Yoshi? I’m assuming a spin off from your name…or…some weird fetish with the Super Mario character.

   LOL just a few silly questions that I had…Silly the Beans Gents!

   Lots of interesting comments! Hey, gents. As always, Ive been enjoying the pod. I’m not sure how you’d be able to cram in any more content, but I have an idea for a segment. Many of your listeners are collectors, artists, customizers, or some combination of the three. Maybe you could showcase some of your listeners’ stuff and comment on them. Just being mentioned on such an esteemed podcast is awesome, but having goods that we’ve put artistic or procurement effort into would put over the moonbase. <——See what I did there?

     “put *us* over the moonbase”, for corrections sake.
