Can’t believe I am the first to comment on this episode. Very Cool!!
There is a youtube video done by RobotPunchArmy. In the video they show how you can cut off Leader Class Jetfire’s hands and replace them with new more articulated ones. I have to admit I do like the idea of more articulated hands for him but I also would like to see ( like everyone else ) some third party release a armor set or something that can cover up the holes in the forearms and all.
The Year of the Goat Prime and Soundwave I like in the fact of the molds they are using but the color scheme, In the words of Charlie Brown
“AAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!” Though I have to admit as a Prime collector I will more than likely get the Prime anyway. I do have that orginal G2 Laser Rod Mold. I have to admit he is one of my main favorites of my Prime figures.
I have said it before and I will say it again to you guys. I really LIKE the Angry Birds Transformers Game. I really love the music and would love to see a cd soundtrack of the music to come out. I would definitely buy it in heartbeat. And add it to my Transformers music CD collection. But another great show guys!!!!
notes and questions forthcoming,(first here again yea) squeezing you guys in a little between work and some spare time at this moment…the little gridlet is sleeping right now and daddy’s home from a LONG DAY OF WORK!. he really needs a “transmissions” overhaul right now or “fix” which ever comes first!
what a minute.. how do you listen to this fine show about transformers toys long enough to know that and then later bitch about this NOT being a car repair podcast..DONT EVEN LET ME GET MY SOAP BOX ON PEOPLE HATING ON YOSHI, ill type some BIGTIME shit up RIGHT now!!
you’ll read from me soon.
PS good to have you back Yoshi and Jeremy!
DMG
darn dino bot!missed it, well you cant have too many dedicated (or in some cases medicated ) fans now can you?
DMG
Dual I am very dedicated to this show. I just love the group and the show itself. They have some much dedication to Transformers that it brings great joy. Though I am medicated, but not for any mental condition. I have a very bad back. My spine is degenerating on me I won’t be surprised if I am in a wheelchair before long. It pains me a lot even though I have had back surgery on it. But I think what pains me more is that I can’t carry or hold my youngest daughter as much as I would like.
I wonder if someone can make some plugs or plates on Shapeways to fit in the Leader Jetfire arms and thighs?
That “Year of the ???” Starscream was the Cybertron Supreme Starscream mold in new G1 colors.
Griffith76’s real name is Eric Chan. You can see an index of his work on WikiAlpha.org. http://en.wikialpha.org/wiki?title=Category:Eric_Chan_designs&action=edit&redlink=1
Yes, I have obtained the alternate Sun Raid audio tape story with Jazz and the Decepticon jets. It had BAD noise in the background, but I was able to do some cleaning. I’ll post it to Youtube soon.
I have a question for you guys. Let’s assume you were put in charge at Has/Tak of coming up with the Year of the Goat toys decos. You have to use the MP Soundwave and G2 Laser Optimus molds, and the decos have to be something original. How would you color them?
Great show guys.
If there were masterpiece Beast Wars figures I would want to see a Megatron with T-Rex alt mode, Silverbolt, and Cheetor. But as the guys said in the show there are already generations figures for some of the BW cast. So would it be better to just do rereleases of old figures? Would they have all the chrome bits those figures had at the time or would that be too gaudy for modern tastes?
I do like the changes made to Jetfire by Killinger. One of the reasons I would not want the default toy is that there is a lot of bland white plastic on that guy. If Killinger comes up with a mod kit or service that was reasonably priced I would definitely be interested. In no small part because as a kid I knew someone who had the G1 toy, but he never let me play with it.(I’m an adult and still hold a grudge.)
Regarding the year of the goat figures….yeah I don’t know what they were thinking. They might as well have just made them all chrome or pearlescent. Sort of like Hikari figures. Or they could have gone with the translucent look, but added some color to it. Similar to the MP03G masterpiece ghost Starscream.
Dinobot… no harm no foul intended, I was just a bit envious of the fact that you beat me here on this forum..as far as your back condition I have had a similar issue myself however I had to have a lumbar fusion to correct my problem I’m so so sorry to read the fact that you have your condition but at the least you have your daughter to enjoy life with.make the time wonderful, for seldom in life we very,very rarely do we get a second chance to enjoy it. Make every precious moment count..
I am glad to know that you are a dedicated as the rest of us are as far as the podcast goes,( I too just as evidently as well.. its just that i feel as strong as you do about the guys. I would like some day to discuss things with you as far as our fandom and it would be wonderful to talk to a fellow fan…. some how. As you probably will know well the guys are evidently knowledgeable about this as well I do tend to write a lot about the show it’s just a shame that I could not be there at the tf con this past weekend but I intend to make up for that next year hopefully you can come there as well along with the other fans that we have here of the podcast… as yoshi would say it’s the only con that counts, that Dinobot and my fellow fans would be a wonderful day indeed.. again my apologies. And my offer still stands on communicating with you.
DMG
Matthew by the way I did not know your alternate handle was scale , face you and I have talked some years ago about transformer scale in the past it’s nice to know that our paths have crossed again in this fashion. I asked you about how you were about transformer scale, and about the charge you have made in the past, and you told me you got that from the Beast Wars show when ratrap called Dinobot scale face.
DMG
So sorry “scaleface” and on the charts on tf scale that you have made in the past… Voice to text on a phone….again Sorry….
DMG
Yes, I am Mathew Robert Ignash, aka mignash, aka Retro Robot Radio, aka Scaleface. I do remember you too.
Hey guys, A couple things on the Year of the Goat thing.
My first reactions where holy shit they’re using those molds? Followed by…are those prototype colors. Followed to WTF are they doing.
After the dust settled and I looked closer at these. The MP soundwave is a fail but those tapes are pretty cool. I personlly don’t like clear plastic for large figures but think it’s cool for small things like, minicons, weapons, target master etc. So the tapes are a win for me.
The G2 Prime could possibly be used for new chrome parts for RID scourge????
At the end of the day the only transformer that should come in clear plastic is Mirage and Ghost Starscream.
Also these Year of the XXXXX should just be Chinese market exclusives. No idea what idiot in Marketing thought North American would like this….oh ya the new CEO….FAIL!
DMG it all good! The other night Yoshi and Darryl held a Google hangout and it was a blast. There is a plan at some point in the (hopeful near) future of them doing another one with all the crew. I thought it be great if you , me , Dogcades , Rob , and Matthew all can get in the Hangout with them. I not saying we the biggest fans but it does how that we are the most dedicated from all the comments and stuff that we all post. I have been invited to another Hangout this weekend by some guys who do it all the time. I plan to find out all I can about it and let the guys know so we can do the one I spoke about. Would love to see what kind of shenanigans we can all get into.
I also want to say that I agree I would love to see a MP Dinobot figure. Dinobot has had some figures come out but none have been super great in my opinion. They are good figures don’t get me wrong. But they really need to be better. Other than the universe figure none really had a great head sculpt. Not to mention the fact the original had the crazy beast face gimmick. I currently own all but the Anniversary and the Botcon version(Holy Grail for me). As you can tell by my namesake and all I am a huge fan of the Dinobot character. I always liked those type of characters. Ones who start out bad and become good. Basically the Antihero. Characters such as Vegeta from Dragonball Z and Hei from Yuyu Hakashu.
Your words r too kind “Dino max”and yes I agree, some day we should “google hangout”, and I would have done so this past weekend and all, but working overtime on Saturday 4a to 9.30 a, and then to come home to retile a shower for about 5 hours, dinner and the clean up,and then mowing the lawn the next day and the little one did her first trunk or treat. . we’ll it will take the lines outa of this gridwork, I hope they recorded that meetup and podcast it, but yeah keep me posted, would jump at the chance to talk to fellow fans of this great podcast we listen to. Well 3,0 a is calling the me collect for work, take care.
