    Yoshi MAY OR MAY NOT be right about something on the list,of ep 78…just saying…
    i really wonder if my fingers will be in finger slings after today’s ep…CANT WAIT CANT WAIT CANT WAIT!!!!

    set a GOOD CHUNK of screen/page estate aside for me my peeps!i think im gonna need it…

    DMG

  3. I think that Apollyon figure does become an over sized handgun. Megatron was about 80% downsize size of his real model handgun. So a Voyager Megatron handgun, like Hegemon, would probably end up with a pistol that’s about the right size.

    Well, that’s it, because I said pretty much everything I had to say on the show we recorded last night. Keep up the great show!

  4. WOW! I can see now why Darryl told us it was a 5 hour show and with a pain to edit. I should note that Darryl told me , Dogcades , Bert the Stormtrooper , DMG , and other Transmissisions fans. Or should I say us Transmissionaries.
    I have to admit though it was a great show. It does pain me to miss the Transmissions crew members who are absent for shows. I think they always can find just the right people to take their place. And having JPB is always a huge plus. Love that guy!!! And I don’t mean that in a gay way.
    As for all the figures that you spoke of I look forward to them all. Though have to admit that the Apollyon aka Megatron looks so awesome! I am really looking forward to trying to get my hands on him. I still look forward to the Combiner Wars figures. The Starsaber I will wait and see how he looks when he is released.
    I do want to let everyone know that a few of us “Tansmissionaries are considering doing a After Podcast. Myself , Bert the Stormtrooper , Dual Mirror Gridwork , Mathew Robert Ignash , Dogcades , and a couple others are in to do it. Though we are still in the development phase of seeing how we will work things out and all. If you are interested in joining us please let me , Bert , DMG , MRI , or Dogcades know. Though I should not we won’t be able to have more that 5 maybe 6 doing the show at the time. So we may do different Transmissionaries every week or something. Also we are even trying to get members of the Tranmissions crew to guest star on it as well.
    But another GREAT SHOW guys!!! Hurry back Darryl and Jeremy!!!

    long typing short, this ep was too much to take notes on
    the first pass..ill have to see if i can try to stand the goodness …no AWESOMENESS again…sweet primus, that was the best derailed ep yet!!!

    oh one of the many things that did stand out right now, you think star saber has a crap base mode JPB, go check out the hun grrr base mode…that (what ever by the inferno it is) is FAR worse.

    and it has no rubber tires…

    again ill do what i can to take some notes..but that could end up being a library from me, and we ALL know how much i love to type..dont we.

    DMG

    ps happy thanksgiving everybody!!!

  6. Excellent show! Poor Charles lost control of that train just as it departed! Easily one of my Favourite episodes yet. All the Twitter chatter had me hyped for this episode and you guys and Hailstorm did not dissapoint.

    JPB…you sir are a delight. Can’t wait for you to to be on the show again.

  7. Awesome episode! Pushing Lambos into that sea should be a national pastime. In fact, it probably already is. We just need to be patient. Soon our shores will be clogged up to the point where every square inch of sand is occupied by supercar.

    Also, Hailstorm’s laugh is so damn contagious! I was stifling my own laughter because I didn’t want to miss any of the endless barrage of jokes contained in this ep. Charles was no slouch, either. Great humor often falls flat without a straight-man. Comedy-wise, it’s gonna be hard to top this one.

    As I just typed the word “hard”, I felt like I just opened myself up to a dirty joke. As I just typed “opened myself up”, I felt like… Nevermind. Episode 79 has traumatized me for at least a week.

    I’ll close by saying that Daryl and Jeremy were definitely missed. Having them on this episode would have changed the dynamic, for sure, but with their wit, I’m willing to bet the episode would have been just a funny.

    Rd, your not the only one, I see to breed them myself…

  9. Episodes such as this one breathe new life into a tested and successful formula. In my experience with listening to podcasts, I find if you don’t break it up from time to time it tends to blend in the episodes into each other. Charles, I tip my hat to you, not only did the train derail a few times, you managed to stand the course. You either have the patience of a saint or have experience working tech support in a call centre and learned to be quick on the mute button.

    I look forward to the next episode when the crew is back together as I feel there will be an added special section just discussing this episode alone.

    sorry rd, “i SEEM to breed them myself”…man this new phone is something else!!!!

  11. It was great fun being on the show! I hope my insanity didn’t put anyone off. Thanks everyone for the kind comments. It makes the warm fuzzies in my soul dance!

    PS – Don’t let Yoshi fool you. He’s like a crab…he has a hard exterior, but inside he’s a softie 😛

  12. *Gasp* Rumor being started! Something about Yoshi fooling a crab and soft insides. Oh, Hailstorm…You’re terrible!

  13. Finally caught up on my podcasting. Got to the start of the toy section, and oh man. Thanks guys – I’ve been feeling under the weather for the past two days, and that really helped me feel a whole lot better on my commute home, instead of miserable, like I have been for the rest of today. Absolutely loving JP and Hailstorm.
