Nice information on Combiner Wars this week. I had actually come up with the idea of a Combiner Wars Liokaiser a long time ago, with all the parts you mentioned for the limbs, but the torso I suggested was Silverbolt remolded into Leozack. I wonder if maybe someone like Nonnef could make a kit to turn Silverbold into Leozack so we can get a proper Liokaiser. Using Destron Arms Microns as Breast partners would be a great idea for the whole set. They all turn into animals and weapons.
BTW – They are called “Breast Force” not “Breastmasters”, because Breastmaster would be silly. 😉
So according to online news a lot of new images for upcoming toys are being released on multiple web sites at 10am Eastern time today. How many of your rumors will be confirmed?
Well, they confirmed you “Powermaster” Optimus Prime and G2 Bruticus box set.
And yet, no one out side of TransMissions is acknowledging our source.
I have done what i can for that. I started a thread about your rumors in the “News & Rumors” forum of TFW2005, and they moved it to the toy forum, since I guess it didn’t qualify as “News & Rumors”. They completely ignore any of my inquiries as to why they moved it out of “News & Rumors”.
Whenever they report official announcements that you predicted, I post that it was an other accurate prediction from Transmissions. They also ignore that.
Now I did notice that the Good Morning, Cybertron! podcast read my TFW2005 Transmissions rumors thread each week on their show and cover it as news. It’s funny that they read my thread and report on it, instead of just listening to your show.
Maybe you guys should start a “Deep Throating Score Card” page where you list all the rumored releases, and when you predicted them, then check them off when they get confirmed? So far you all predicted Rewind, Stripes, the four Titanmasters, Skullsmasher, Hardhead, Sentinel Prime, Galvatron and Optimus Prime correctly, right? That’s 11 down.
Another Great Show Guys!!! It is awesome to hear from Josh Burcham!!! I hate that Jeremy missed this episode and I hope everything gets better for him.
I want to say a couple of things…
1) The Mastermind Creations Seraphicus does look good…. BUT I may put my money in the upgrade kit for the CW White Optimus Prime that can be upgraded into Nova Prime. I think this is better money wise for those who are on tight budgets. Speaking on this did we get a release date or anything for that or the other upgrade kits for the CW Prime?
2) I have something I not sure you considered for the comic review. Most of the Decepticons are on Cybertron. While you have Soundwave and Galvatron on their base in Jupiter orbit. Not taking anything from Starscream ( though the decepticon will agree on this) that they had no “real” leadership on Cybertron. While the better leaders were on their own space station. So the Decepticons who want to continue the war or start up a new one basiclly, want a compentant leader. And Galvatron will be it. I also think this could very well lead up to something I think we have all been wanting to see since their introductions in the IDW series. That being the confrontation of Megatron and Galvatron. Weather this be for leadership of the Decepticons or just part of a new war we will have to wait and see. Personally I would rather see Megatron stay as a Autobot. I really like the way IDW is showing Megatron trying to basiclly make up for all the deaths and all from the war. I look forward to the way this story will continue and how James Roberts will make it happen.
