On this episode of TransMissions Extra!, we continue our coverage of IDW’s Revolution with a review of the M.A.S.K. Revolution tie-in. As always, read the comic first if you don’t want SPOILERS for the story. M.A.S.K. was one of those 80’s toy lines that took some ideas from both Transformers and G.I. Joe to create a unique concept. Both the toyline and cartoon have been mostly dormant since the 80’s, so it’s ripe for reboot/reimagining. Check out our in depth comic review!
What is TransMissions: Extra!?
We usually spend the first 30 minutes of our TransMissions Skype call talking about other random topics before we record the main show. TransMissions Extra! is a more organized discussion of these topics recorded into a short podcast of its own. We hope you enjoy TransMissions Extra!

I actually had a quite a few of the MASK toys growing up Thunderhawk , Switchblade , Piranhna , Jackhammer , Gator . Hurricane , FIrecracker , Vimper , Wildcat , I do remember wanting Buzzard , Goliath , Slingshot , Raven , Rhino and the Boulder Set. Never got them though.
I thought growing up that MASK was a side branch or something of GIJOE and VENOM was a side Branch of COBRA who fought in a area seperate from the others. But I have to agree I look forward to seeing how this series will run.
