what,What ..WHAT?!! is it my birthday…sweet heart is it Christmas already?!!
an almost an 3 1/2 hour Transmissions podcast!!!.
maybe i should play the lottery, i fell lucky enough today already!!!
fell primus damm it “feel”, feel lucky, sure cant spell at 4:18 am!!
For that TFSS 4 Bluestreak, isn’t he in the same TFSS as Impactor? Most likely they will both being limbs for Wreckage, along with Toxitron, Counterpunch and Fractyl. Wreckage is sorta an Wreckers combiner of leftovers, I guess.
I am not the biggest fan of the Bay Transformers movies (I love em because they are just SO bad!). There are some movie verse designs I really like Blackout and the knight Optimus Prime and I actually really like the movie verse Dinobot designs. Grimlock looks like Fall Of Cybertron Grimlock got fuse with Alduin The World Eater from skyrim but looking at the new Hot Rod and…WHAT THE PISS IS THIS?! Hot Rod just looks like a Bay Bumblebee with an eating disorder.
If only Blackout was really Vortex and Optimus didn’t decapitate Brawl we might’ve actually been able to see Bruticus. But Michael Bay doesn’t really know the TF universe well enough to do that. He only cherry picks certain aspects from every TF universe and plugs them into the movies to placate the hardcore fans. I only know Hot Rod is who Bay says he is because he told us so. He could’ve named him Skids or Camshaft. What would any of us had to say to refute it? Nothing because the only thing Transformers about his movies are the title and names.
Could’ve been Cliffjumper too.

Re: Deciding which 3P Megatron to get
Both have their pros and cons, but I’m leaning towards Despotron.
The following are of course, just my opinion:
Mightron
PROS
-Friendly transformation, friendlier price
-Interesting leg transformation
-Ok headsculpt (6.5/10)
CONS
– back kibble
– shin hinges looks like a door’s
– boxy lower legs, no contour
– gap from leg to foot makes it look like ankle baring trousers.
Despotron
PROS
– Interesting transformation
– Clean design
– *Face options (although a lot were displeased with the new sculpts)
– Revoltech-like action poses are possible
CONS
– Thick lower legs
– Small chest
– Big side skirts (not an issue for me)
– Some says he’s a bit on the CHUG/ Generations side than MP due to a lot of detail. (not an issue for me, MP-10 is also very detailed)
If I get Despotron, I might just spray paint the shins with gunmetal gray as a visual fix to separate it from the handle grip parts . I am just hoping the original face shown during the gray prototype stage /TFCON display is included.
Get Despotron! 😀
Another Great Episode guys!! Only the Transmissions Podcast can do a great interview and then follow it up with a great episode. And do that in the same episode. This is why the Transmissions Podcast is by far the best Transformers Podcast around I won’t lie I have listened to other Transformers Podcast (Forgive me for I have sinned) . And even all those have nothing on what you guys bring to the table.!!!
I think I am going with the DX9 Mightron. I honest think DX9 is one of the best of the 3rd Party companies . I only own 1 right now (Invisible) but plan to get MANY MANY more .
