You see folks this is just one of the many reasons why i love this podcast,not one not two, BUT THREE high quality podcast this week!! i wanted to check if there was a new a new ‘cast this morning not really expecting one but hoping that there was one…and I was not disappointed!!this past week has been just been “beyond your wildest expectations”!!
THANK YOU TRANSMISSIONS!!!
Thanks for listening Duel Mirrored Gridwork!
Hey guys nice show. I hope we get some rumors soon.
When talking about Unite Warriors Computicon, I don’t think you mentioned that he also seems to have a different rifle (not another reuse of the Silverbolt rifle) and the limbs for Strafe, Nosecone and Lightspeed are different molds than Hasbro is using. They seem to be using the Blastoff, Rook and Wheeljack molds.
Have you guys seen the BACK of the Hulkie box yet? It’s as good as the front. http://en.wikialpha.org/mediawiki/images/d/db/Hulkie-boxback.jpg
Sweet primus I they not “trying” to rip of hasbro with those tech spec pics,what’s the front looks like I wonder!
Yeah, those are G1 Constructicon box art pics on the back of Hulkie’s box. This is the front: https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/12814568_1107295945971892_1007935788172932612_n.jpg?oh=a36c24abdb7bc280c3aa0409263d6f49&oe=574F47FB
No wait looking at the details, its NOT the G1 box art from the Constructicons on Hulkie, it’s just a bunch of very similar drawings. Someone imitated the art style and poses. Funny.
Well how about that “we’ll come close rip off hasbro but not fully 100%” approach…wow they got some brass ba…er,spheres!
I am a “stand up” guy. As in Yoshi makes me stand up… If you understand my meaning…
Penis.

Why does everyone like to claim that Hotrod was the reason Prime died? Prime chose not to take the shot and it is completely possible that even without Hotrod’s intervention, Megatron might have still got the fatal shot off.
Hi guys! Love your show! i’ve listened to you guys every week since I found out about Transmissions back in October. I have a question from my favorite quartet though. I always loved the show’s and collecting the figures but I was never into the comics. Recently you guys made me dive into them and giving them a shot. I recently started with Transforms (formerly RID) and got the first 10 issues from my local comic book store. however after that they seem to be missing a few. I went to go get issues 11-15 but they only had issue 15. Is there a place online that I would be able to look for to get previous back issues? I saw IDW sells them all digital but I like having the physical copies and searching for the ones that JP has worked on lol, or has Starscream on the cover. Sorry for the long comment/question. I appreciate what all of you do and I look forward to supporting you guys for a long time!
Hello Kevin!
That’s a good question. I honestly have been getting all my back issues from ebay. But I live in the arctic. I wish I could drive around from comic book store to comic book store hunting down each missing issue. That would be a lot more fun.
But I would suggest ebay. I’ve had really good luck with it. You can also google search for back issue comics or some such phrase to find other online stores that can help you out.
Chances are a place like Mile High Comics will have your missing issues, but they do charge top dollar. So sign up for their news letter as they often have promo codes for discounts.
I hope this helps.
Thanks Yoshi! I was a going to try Mile High Comics soon, They have closed a bunch in my area, but I’m going to check it out eventually. Thats a good idea about Ebay, I will definitely do that. Thanks so much man!
I use TFAW.com for most of my online orders. You can also check out Westfieldcomics.com. That’s my local store, but they have an online store too.
Awesome, thanks Jeremy! You guys have been so much help. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for the support Kevin!
Another great episode guys !!! I have to admit I like the Fanstoys Wills figure and will more than likely get one. Though I am trying to catch up on other MPs now so he may have to wait a couple of months.
Also guys don’t forget about this Saturday the 26 I will be hosting Tanscievers Chat 2. I would love for you all to come and join us. Please let me know if you can. The Hangout will start at 9 PM Central time , but I want to start getting people together around 8 -830 at latest.
I think when my wife’s new hours get settled upon at her new job, I can addend these more often. Until then, we’ll just have to wait.
Great to hear Mighty Yoshi !! I plan to do this only once a month though. End of the month thing.
I just read through Deviations again and wanted to mention a couple of things about it.
1) on the first page first panel in the bottom left corner…does that look like a G1 Tailgate to you ? I wonder if it is and if it a slight push to the current IDW runs.
2) Did you guys notice that Arcee never spoke in the comic or that Springer only have that one panel where he spoke??
3) Megascream looks to me like a combination of several version of Starscream. I can at least a bit of the War Within and Cybertron , Though I also think he may have some Starsaber in there too.On this note would you guys like to see a 3rd party company do a version of this at all? I personally wouldn’t mind seeing one. Maybe another Silverbolt / Scattershot repaint from CW?
4) Lastly I want to correct Charles , when Megascream combines he does so with Thrust “left arm” , Dirge “right arm. Soundwave “left leg” and Astrotrain “right leg” – not Shockwave. Had to do that just to make Yoshi Happy!! That someone corrected Charles!!
Something I wanted to mention about Deviations. In order for Prime to live , 16 other bots had to die. Namely…
1) Megatron
2) Thundercracker
3) Skywarp
4) Shrapnel
5) Bombshell
6) Kickback
7) Ultra Magnus
8) Springer
9) Arcee
10) Perceptor
11) Hot Rod / Rodimus
12) Starscream
13) Soundwave
14) Astrotrain
15) Thrust
16) Dirge
Granted some of these guys did die in the movie or were reformatted into other characters. But I just though it was interesting as to how many died in order for Optimus to live.
