One company releasing the Decepticon colones was Mech Ideas. They were a convention exclusive, very limited recolor/remolds of Apex and Geminus. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/748269-mech-ideas-exclusive-botcon-evening-custom-class-shawke-pawe.html
I’ll bet you to save money in the US release of MP Ultra Magnus Hasbro will just release a white MP10 Optimus Prime cab, no trailer.
I already have my Cloud Shockwave. He’s hanging out with the purple BMOG animals on my shelf. Shockwave was an apache helicopter in the 2007 Transformers video game, so it’s not an unheard of alt mode. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/attachments/transformers-news-rumors/27484773d1418581284-new-pics-takara-whirl-cloud-shockwave-img_0341.jpg
Did anyone else notice a SLIGHT echo in the feedback section of the show?
The one thing I am worried about with DX-9 is that they might into trouble with Bandai with the the War In The Pocket stuff. since Bandai has already trademarked this title for a series in the Mobile Suit Gundam series both for the anime and manga.
The DX9 line is called “War in Pocket” not “War in the Pocket”.
Another excellent episodes gents. It’s always nice to have fill in guests but it’s even better to have the whole crew together.
Couple of items.
I’m with Darryl on the G.I. Joe crossover. G.I. Joe is dead and it just needs to go away. These sad continued attempts to revive the brand is just ruining it and my memory of how great it was as a kid. The whole thing is dumb now.
The Petition…I never signed it till now because I had zero interest in buying the comics so IDW wouldn’t be getting money from me for it. But after thinking about it and listening to Yoshi continued plugging for this I realized it doesn’t matter if I buy the comic or not…but it does matter that there is something for the comic review section and eventually I’d buy it on sale at comixology later down the road, so that was a very long way to say I put my name in the hat.
As for the G1 cartoon being better then the current stuff (animation wise) I think Yoshi needs to get some glasses…but he has his opinion and that’s good as well as it gives a different (all be it wrong) perspective on the animation styles in general. Me persoanlly I loved the Beast Wars cartoon but hated the toys. I don’t like anything about Animated at all…but RID wasn’t to bad for me and I enjoyed parts of it. Transformers Prime was awesome to me along with the toys….But all this is just my opinion. It’s nice to sit and talk about the things we like and dislike (agree or disagree) on the brand as that’s what keeps the love for the brand going. Like or hate the Bay movies or even Animated…the media keeps Transformers in the lime light, and keeps the brand strong….unlike other brands *cough* G.I.Joe.
Holy man that rambled on…I’ll step on the soap box now.
Also noticed that at the end of the podcast Yoshi and everyone suddenly went into surround sound??? Not sure if that my player or if it was an accident.
Little late in speaking my mind on this episode guys and I want to apologize for that. Been sick with the flu for the last couple of weeks. Have to admit this episode made me feel a lot better.
I do have 3 things I want to say about this great episode.
1 ) I have to admit I love the idea of the Could figures. I really want the Cloud Starscream. And I like the Cloud Rodimus. Though the Shockwave I am not so sure about. I just don’t like the use of the mold for Shockwave. Though I do want to go back and agree with Matthew Ignash about the release of a Cloud Thundercracker and Skywap in the Generations Blitzwing mold. The idea of having Tank seekers is awesome.
2 ) All the reviews and comments and all that I post , I AM PROUD TO DO!!!!! You guys do suck a great show. You bring such a love and appreciation to the Transformers fans that I enjoy. I also love the idea that you are fans of all the franchise ( EXCEPT YOSHI ) ” Yoshi you and I should have a LONG chat about the G1 comics. I can talk to you about it so well.”
3 ) I have been exploring the idea of Transmissions or Transmissionaries T-shirts. What do you guys think? Would you like to see some shirts out there with your famous logo? I can only imagine you all going to a convention and seeing 50 – 100 Transmissions or Transmissionaries shirts around the place.
But another Great show guys!!! Keep up the Superb work!!!!!
Ok I’ll struggle on this one feel I’ve lost the was with my sinuses this week but I’ll fight the good fight..wow dm I hope you feel better…
This was a good ep and I’m glad that the gangs all back together for the podcast however I do have a few things to add, and I’ll be working with out notes and a net so I hope I don’t take a fall.
1. I asked about the list question because I did comment on the ep that big c was referring to and yoshi was spot on right, its limited to what you guys read on the show so I’m ok with that..it was a great show and you would quake with fear on how long the notes were for it, well this is proof. .. don’t need to make the list every time won’t say no to it or anything I have the knowledge that I’m the first super fan of the show before there were/was such a thing,(according to big c, don’t make me look for the ep because I will..hey, not a bad idea a marathon of old eps!!)so I won’t kill myself over it or any thing so I’ll live , it’s just something you can’t put into words or at least for me it’s not that easy. Well untill i meet yous guys and fans in person i guess thats close way to put it, primus help me…so I want that out there.. I’m not mad or anything just a fan who loves the show and types like a over dedicated fan to prove it, that’s all.
2 the show beginning what good with the sound bit mess ups.
3. OK I’ll stand up for yoshi on this one, (surprised anyone?)he does have the right for his pov on the g1 cartoon bit, and yes it was rife with glitches and mistakes and such but he it’s what he like and that’s cool. I myself have no issues with tf animation in general series as a whole, although I did take a while for me to like tf animated (and because Antron was in the video game bumble bee played,I collected the WHOLE micronauts comic line from marvel, and it took a while) I don’t normally have issues with it, just when it’s done poorly and done like crap then the news stand of issues opens up for business folks.you animation /part crap lifetime subscription now served…
4 I hope there will be more fan opportunity to be a part of the show, and …what wait it that a drumroll I hear..no its in my head. .sorry ahem I would like to declare this now… I am asking to be on a future show particularly episode 101 if I can have that honor because I hope you do go untill year 2934 and past (give or take, time travel can be a real batch sometimes, no really! !)well it would mean a lot to me to ask (and to gather the nerve) this of such a fine podcast..the exo armor hand portion has been throw in the game it’s up for you to pick it up, just remember, do you take the red pill or the blue one, and this rabbit hole has a lot of tunnel maps with mirrors and lines that run criss cross and parallel with one another..fair warning has been issued.
P’s 2943 is a clue, anyone care to guess?
Oh yes I forgot something else I cannot be called a transmissionary, transmissionite, perhaps but I’ve told some of my inner circle and yes they got that confused with something else entirely and got some weird looks over it too… And sweet Primus I sure as hell will not tell my wife about that!!… And time travel is a real bitch not batch… Love this new phone….
