Thanks for asking the questions to your insider source.
Is anyone else disappointed that with all the third party Devastator options, we still have no War Within Devastator? He appeared in the comics.
I am surprised that someone would want to be the 5th G1 Devastator instead of the first Piranacon on the market. Heck, how hard would an updated Road Ceaser be? It only needs 3 cars to make!
For those who may not know, eness is a company that makes Transformers stickers out of China. Intereting that they are moving into accessories.
That Sky Guardian is about the size of MP10, but really intended to be part of a Classic collection, since Skyfire is supposed to be a big guy. I’d call him Leader Class.
Great show, fellas! Congrats on the 2 year. I guess I gotta grow a beard and Emmerz has to learn how to YoOoOoOoOoO like Yoshi. Hey everybody, how’s it going? Let’s talk Transformers. How was that impression? Pretty good? Been practicing a while. See you in Charlotte, Jer!!
Hey, Thanks Jimmerz! Glad you and Emmerz could take a break from your own personal “Combiner Wars” to congratulate us.
Have fun in Charlette!
Congrats on two amazing years to the best podcast this side of the internet!
Awe Zach. That’s the stuff 5 star iTunes reviews are made of.
Congrates and Happy 2nd Birthday Guys!!! They show just can’t stop with the greatness that is Yoshi !!! Though Big C , Jeremy and Cyber Beast all put in their parts to make him that much greater!!!
Just Kidding guys !!! You all make the show great!!! I enjoy the show alot and am very proud that you guys have reached the 2 year mark. Every year mark of any podcast is a great achievement. I will help in always can to promote you guys to making it to the 3 , 10 , 20 year mark. Keep up the work Guys!!!
I have a couple of questions for Deep Throating
Are there any plan weather in the comics or in toys for more on the Magnus Armor? I mean in the way of a history of who wore the armor and what happened to them in the armor and such. Also with that will there be any additional figures in repaints/remolds of Alpha Trion / Minimus Anbius as characters who wore the armor in it’s history? Whether this is just the mini figure or a new Magnus type armor with a new mini figure
I am one who would like to see what the history of the armor is. After learning that Minibus was wearing the armor and that it had been around for a long time. I thought what was the history. Especially with the Takara release with Alpha Trion. Makes me wonder even more.
Lastly guys I HATE to keep pestering you about this but I would really like for you to PLEASE promote my channel on youtube. As I have mentioned before I am also sponsored by Primetoys. It is just since you guys are sponosored as well it be a great help to my channel. I won’t lie I promote you guys on my channel in every video with the code and all. I just could really use the help to get my views and subscribers up. So please help !!
Congrats guys on 2 years of pod casting. I’ve really enjoyed listening to you guys and I’m really happy to be able to make it a little extra special with the G2 Bumble Bee. LOL I may or may not still have a few laying around.
Ohhhh and I thought I’d report this. I talked to my local comic book shop and they said they can order as many of the up coming sketch covers as they want. I asked for 5 of each. Perhaps it’s something you guys want to look into.
One question about the production side of things. This episode (while great) I noticed that Andrew was really quite and Big C would come booming through the radio….I seriously think I popped a speaker in the car cause I’d have to crank it up it up to hear Andrew and then Charles would Boom through. Is it possible to have that balanced out before the pod cast goes out?
On another note….I blame this pod cast for pushing me back into comics. I now have a pull list and I’m revisiting old comics (mainly to see how worthless they are).
Well Here’s to another 2 years + of pod casting and I can’t wait to see who wins the MP.
WOW,has it really been that long!? two years of Awesome podcasting I really can’t believe it, it kind of snuck up on me to be honest anyway congratulations on this two plus years with you guys and here’s hoping for a 2 + decades and more to come!
I do have a few questions I would like to have answered ( jab jab at you Big C)
1.Ultra Magnus is the city commander according to the toy check off sheets you got with the figures,and Galvatron is technically the city commander for the Decepticons as well, but seeing how in the show he is more of the Decepticons leader who do you guys think you should fill in the role as city commander for the decepticons?
2.why is it that Hasbro does not make it actual quote Skyfire figure I would imagine they own the rights to their own animation model they seem hell bent on not making one,I know bandi owns the toy mold from macross and all ,but it makes no sense to me that they do not make the sky fire version of Jetfire….it so far removed from the macross toy jetfire so if that being the case why don’t they make one,they’ve pretty much told band a big …ahem as Yoshi would/might put it,”€%#& YOU!” with the helmet in this past rendition…
with that Flippin fake ass chest!,what is the toy made by some one that “enhances” models playboy!?ctfo people,really!?
Yoshi ask the question…you know how to put it….
3.okay I have to given this one some thought and again just may be showing my age,but back in day with Micro Machines came out with…(oh I hate to say this word with you guys but oh well “scale’ yeah the scale w**** strikes again) toys do you think a Iine of transformer ships in packs done by 3rd party or perhaps if hasbro got off their lazy butts and did this like a cartoon version of the ark and the nemesis in one pack junkions and the Quints in another pack,heck maybe even non transforming versions of unicron and a robot mode from the 86 movie would be nice,do you think if somebody did that they would sell?
that’s all I can think of right now to ask, again my congratulations on the two years of Awesome podcasting and I’ve already been working on my entries for the contest…. keep up the incredible work!!
Congratulations guys. I am a new listener by the way. Question for deep throating, has there been any news on legends class Brawn, Outback, Gnaw or Kickback or any not yet done minibots ?
Congrats, fellas! As one of the original 5 listeners (inside joke…*if* Charles meant that as a joke), I think it’s been a hell of a ride. And the podcast has only improved with age. It’s a fuckin’ toddler now! A funny, trash-talking, foul-mouthed, know-it-all, Darryl-complete toddler!
And Rob Peirson: Thanks for donating your G2 Bee for the contest! You earn 10,000 Cool Points for generosity and have reached level Fonzie. Don’t spend all that jukebox-smacking magic in one place!
Big round of applause to you guys for making it two years recording your show. 🙂
I will say that I do not comment on every episode, but I still do listen to everything. Maybe when I get a chance I will go back and comment on the last 4-5 episodes, but I can’t promise anything.
I really like the Spark Toys War Within Inspired Megatron. The CGI image tells me it is early days on that figure design, so I know to wait for a physical copy to be made before getting really excited.
