ok gang , ive taken notes down for 95, started 96 yesterday,have to do 97 with the “lucky winner,” (grumble),and now another 2 + hour hi quality ep… i dont know if i can contain this feedback beast for too much longer!!
Y’know, you’d probably get more coverage if you used smaller bombs of feedback many times rather then one huge A-Bomb explosion of feedback all at once. Just sayin’…
The old cropdust technique.
Great episode, guys.
After reading Combiner Wars Opening Salvo, and seeing how heavily Caminus figured into the story, it got me wondering if the mention of “How cool would an all-female combiner be?” at Toyfair might have been a spoiler. It’s somewhat supported by the fact that half of the story arc will be in the returning Windblade series, the book that featured the previous fan-voted character. But also somewhat debunked upon reading Windblade #1 and realizing that Caminus wasn’t an all-female colony. Still, food for thought.
I apologize to you all for my awful photobucket user name. I’m sure that after seeing it, you all have just one question for me…
C beast, I have had to break it up into smaller chunks the last time I had sent feedback,
And if the show was not as high quality, fun ,entertaining, and all around great as I feel it is, (and I know I’m not alone in feeling this) I would not leave the feed back that I do,I’m just behind a little that’s all…beside I’ve been feeling ive been neglecting you guys these past few weeks..and it seems others are leaving “dmg levels” of feedback…hmmm we ‘ll just have to see about that…what do you think feed back beast?…
….(Cage rattling sound)….
Yet another great episode guys. I have a couple of question !!! And this goes for Beast but any and all of you guys can answer. Do you really think Apollyon will be a figure who price will jump after his release in price ? Also are we positive on his release ??? I saw in the last day or so he might be delayed again. I am intereted in this guy but my money is kind of tied up for the next few month paying off some new furniture and getting caught up more on the comics. ( No thanks to the closing of my local comic shop ). ALSO I WANT TO TRY AND CALL OUT AGAIN TO ANYONE WHO CAN GET ME A COPY OR TWO OF THE NEW FREE COMIC BOOK DAY TRANSFORMERS BOOK!! I need a couple of them 1 for myself and one for my kids as well. PLEASE HELP!!!!
I am definitely more interested in the Sixknight color version of MADLAW than the Quickswitch colors. This guy will be going into my Masterforce display with DX9 Amor Set and Toyworld Grant.
