hmmm,looking at that 3p overlord…
not too sure on it, i still want the kabaya one,it does almost all the features of the “g-1″,PLUS it has the powermasters as well..that for me is a step above this one…i wonder if they are with the 3p one as well?
like the combiner hunters fembot package, dont worry not getting the soapbox out, but they do look good to me,wont get them but they do look good.
SARA STONE NO LONGER ON WINDBLADE, this is where the yoshi voice in my head goes…”WTF!!!” whars going on here??!!
ooops getting early, or my case late getting in that ot guys..gonna have a great friday with the show at work.
have a great weekend to all!!!
You have a great weekend to DMG. Enjoy the show!
Just a quick note to clear things up on those three upcoming Takara fembots. They are Deluxe size, not Legends size. The line they are coming out in in Japan is called “Transformers: Legends”. Remember in Takara calls out Legends class toys “EZ” class, so when they mean little toys they say EZ, when they say Legends, they mean the Transformers Legends toy line. So these three toys are molds of Deluxe Arcee, Deluxe Windblade and Deluxe Blackarachnia.
Thanks for setting us straight Mathew. Anyone else missing Darryl? I know I am.
I am determined to get my comments on here a lot sooner from now on and here I am putting it up the day it posted. And yes I have already listened to the full show and plan to listen at least once or twice more in the next week. I guess I am a over listener.
But first off let me just say that again it hurts that one of the 4 Transmissions Horsemen is gone for a episode. I do hope everything is fine with the Beast. But from all indications I am guessing he had some computer problems. I have a suggestion for that. After spending 200,000 plus on a house I am sure a new computer wouldn’t be a problem if need be. But I hope we can hear from him again soon.
I am happy to seen about the Unite Toys Groove figure. And if the past is any indication , I am willing to bet that Hasbro will do something for a release of a Deluxe size version of him too. I felt that the demand for Slingshot and Wildrider was so strong that was the main reason Hasbro released their Quickslinger and Break-Neck. (Which I do have, awesome figures). The other bit for this Groove would be something that we hardly see Hasbro do. A repaint / remold to be used as Afterburner of the Technobots. (Wow what a shocker!!!) I am hoping that Hasbro does all the Combiners. Looking forward to Bruticus , Computron , Abominus , Predaking , Monstuctor and Piranacon. I also look forward to Victorion. The Autobots really needed another combiner team to help even things out. Don’t get me wrong Sky Lynx was the normal rival for Predaking. Wouldn’t mind seeing a new version of him to be released.
Speaking of Transformers Legends. I am sure you guys have heard by now that the mobile game Transformers Legends is going bye bye. I think this is mostly due to the popularity of the Angry Birds Transformers and Battle Tactics games. I believe it is suppose to end on September 30. Hate to see it go. The art being used for the cards that come with figures these days comes from this game. I love a lot of the art and really wish they would release these as a collectible card game or something that we could collect. On that note do you guys still play the game?? Or the others??? And if so what are your rankings? Or as in Battle Tactics what is your current or favorite team? Currently mine is a team of Vortex , Scroponok , Springer , and G2 Ramjet.
But lastly guys another great show though down a member you did him proud in toys. I do want to volunteer my services for any time you guys need someone to fill in for a member who is out for some reason or other. Just let me know I am free 95% of the time.
Glad I helped out with the toy section in Darryl’s absence. The beast may have not been present but a toy guy from the same town in Canadaina. Also you humble and honour me by calling me Mr. Ronin.
I have looked closer at the photos of the DX9 Toys D06 Carry and I do believe the trailer converts into a battle base similar to that in G1 and Masterpiece toy, that is unless the mass displacement you guys mention is real! On the flip around piece in the Gold Version of BumbleBee will be the G2 Autobot symbol.
On a personal note, at first I was worried how I would handle the change from Tuesdays to Fridays on the podcast release, but with getting into the comics big time since the Humble Bundle release, it is great to read the issue followed by your points of view.
Vote Ronin!!!!! (I have an American Metroplex)
I will correct myself here, but the trailer section of DX9 Carry is not a battle station but does fold into the figure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dk7lDfI2pQ
Great episode, guys. Emmerz and I totally blushed. Thanks for the shout! Packed and ready to go broke at Bot Con. Looking forward to meeting everyone at TFcon next month. Till all are one.
Hey guys, here’s a little theory on the new Windblade’s colorscheme. Perhaps… G1 Skyhammer? http://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:G1_Skyhammer_toy.jpg Just… a little more feminine. Of course.
