   Reprolabels isn’t a third party company? They are EXACTLY a third party company, they make add-ons. I think some fans like to pretend they are not, but they are not licensed by Hasbro or Takara.

   Probably the reason we don’t get gachapon here in the USA is because we don’t commonly carry high value coins. In Canada they have $1 and $2 coins, in Japan they have much larger coins, but in the USA most people only carry 25 cent coins. Most vending machines will be coin operated, so that really limits people from using them here. No one wants a machine where you have to insert 10 or 20 quarters to get a capsule.

   I would be much more interested in those Custom Robots Revoltech figures if they came with Action Master partners. Tracks had an Action Master toy. Where is my Revoltech Basher partner? http://www.tfu.info/1991/Autobot/Tracks/tracks.htm

   I’m sorry, but I think you read my comment on episode 73 completely wrong. I did not say I didn’t like Beast Machines. I said some of us didn’t like Beast Machines at the time, but we didn’t have stinkers like Armada, etc to compare it to. I wasn’t saying Beast Machines was bad (I liked it), I was saying it looks a lot better than Armada and some other series in hindsight.

   I think if you are comparing Bugs Bunny TV cartoons to something like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves in animation and think they are about equal you need to go back and re-watch them with an adult eye. Maybe as a kid you didn’t notice the difference, but they are night and day!

   I’m sorry you all got the Year of the Goat deco question wrong. The correct answer was Soundwave in Spark White like the Music Label toy, and G2 Optimus Prime as Toxitron. Thanks for playing. 😉

   Well all the anticipation for the winner of the One Year Contest is over… and sadly I didn’t win. As much as I would have loved to. I would have loved to win and get the chance to get on the show with the guys. I would have been happy with the figure and of course the comic. But it is what it is. But congrates to Tom for winning. Though I have to admit I was surprised to see Jake Dalrymple making a voice appearance.
   I am with you guys on the third party Astrotrain I like the DX9 better. I use to have the original and mine had a major issue. Being my younger self I turn one of arms around when I went to transform him into vehicle mode and got his arm stuck and in trying to get it out I broke the fist off. I just hope that neither of these will have that issue of breaking that way.
   You guys are also killing me with mentioning all this on MP Wheeljack. I haven’t gotten mine yet and I want him so badly. Now I have to worry about getting his reprolabels and 2 sets of accessories. Though I will try and get the repro”decals ” soon.
   I will admit that I do like the Third Party Group Vector Sigma mini figures. I like the way they look though they are small as heck. I think they be nice for a diorama but other than that I feel they need to be bigger.
   I do like the Tracks from Revotech. I liked Tracks and use to have the original figure. who I do miss. H have seen several of these but have yet to own one. I would like to but as always it will have to be what my money tells me I can buy.
   I do want to say about some sad news about the Vinyl reissue of the 86 movie soundtrack. The news is I use to have the original. I use to play it on my mom’s big record player she had with her big 80s stereo system with the big speakers. Sadly I do not remember what happened to it. Though I suspect my mom sold it when she sold all the records she had because for some reason I kept it with them. Though I think that was mostly because I was around 9 – 10 years old at the time and she wanted to keep it from getting broken. Oh what we wouldn’t do to have those items our mom’s sold at garage sells when we were young. I lost my He-Man , orginal Ninja Turtles and MASK figures and sets to this. I actually have a picture from when I was young and got the GIJOE Skystriker for Christmas at my grandparents house. The pictures shows me sitting behind it smiling with it in excellent shape. Flash forward a few years and it was just the shell. You look now at prices the it and others from your childhood sell for you can’t help but do 2 things. 1 Hate yourself for not taking care of it more. and 2 start crying for not taken care of it more.
   I know this is a long comment and I sorry about that. But still another great show guys. Here is to another year of the great Transmissions Podcast.

   Hey gang, I am just a little sad I did not win(was not counting on it or anything), but I am surprised my clip not played, let alone dino max or Mathew as well was not heard. ..I still think there needs to be a series of fan show in the future. It was neat to here for some of the others thought. .we’ll then there IS Jake after all…I’ll do what I can to write later with more…

     I have to agree with you there DMG! You , me , Matt , or Dogcades’s clips weren’t even in the running. But I was surprised that Jake was on there.

       Hey Guys, we still love you and appreciate how much you love the show. Maybe our next event should focus on the fans who deliver the most feedback! But for this contest to try and make it fair and impartial, each host listened independently to all the entries and the top picks were only if a majority of us picked them independently. There were a lot of really good entries, including yours, and the ones that got in the show were just the ones that won. Thanks again for supporting the show!

         Don’t get me wrong I not mad that I didn’t win, disappoint sure. But it all fair in love and Transformers. Like I said before maybe you can do a big 4 fan hangout with you guys for a show. That would make me happy.

   Nooo I’ve upset charles! please forgive my correction! is he gonna send yoshi to florida? is florida gonna end up like the uk! I still hear news stories about that. lol

   Since you guys brought up the zodiac release transformers like the year of the releases, I was thinking that they should release a beast former in theme with each zodiac like for an example year of the monkey should have a year of the monkey edition of optimus primal. and with master pieces, I would also like to see an MP scale of the RID megatron, think about it, a ten changer master piece figure!

   Wow! What an honor to have my entry included in the podcast. Fun show. The DairyCon bit was awesome! “Mooooooove over Botcon!” Classic.

   This episode was really fun guys. It kinda seems like everyone had a drink, a layer of mental filter turned off, and audio antics ensues. haha 😛

   For the Year of the Goat repaint suggestions, I was gonna say they could repaint Soundwave into his shattered glass self; with a head band that is not made of floss even. Well, anything would be better than the translucent and copper color scheme. It’s like they are trying really hard to 1 Up the Chinese Knock Off makers

   The Rocket Punch Army Jetfire hand upgrade instructions you guys mentioned can be found here by the way:
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSCXlT8lrRg&list=UUZ510ij4NG29m3BF8eXSDPQ

   Oh, the “light up” ears for MP WheelJack is actually a glow in dark upgrade part made by my friend on Twitter (@NonnefThandaius) from Nonnef Production, no electronics involve. A quick tip bit on this part: it is not 3D printed, but casted in hard plastic, so it will be pretty durable. I got it at TFcon but haven’t had a chance to install it yet. If anyone is interested, this can be pre-ordered at his website http://www.nonnef.com/

   So, what ever happened to Yoshi being interested in getting his first 3rd Party independent figure? Perhaps he has already caught wind that MP-25 might be Takara’s second take on Megatron?

   That Jake Dalrymple sure did try real hard for the contest, but he did not have G1 sound track running in the background like Tom though. Congrats to Tom for winning the contest. Hope to hear him on the show soon.

   Man. Hard to argue the other Tom’s entry – that was fantastic.

   A note for Matthew Ignash about not having any toys for characters that didn’t appear in AoE- dinobots Slash, Snarl, and Slog would like a word.

   I’m surprised you didn’t catch that one, Daryll! After giving Yoshi all that shit about not even stepping up to the plate. 🙂

   Ok
   I would like to set some dust to rest here, if I may…
   We all whom did enter the contest would have loved to hear our clips played (I really did) on the show, as much as it pains me to type, I as well did not win..I knew going forth that there was a chance that thus that would not happen, I did not care as much for the TPB, or the fig, but being on the show its TRULY what my hearts desired (Dr Who reference there) but the winner did win and as much as we are envious of him we must go on with it.the cast did chose him and fair is fair… (although I am older and have a daughter and the same soundtrack not used in the clip I had sent, a tad shamless move on his part perhaps…maybe, but is was clever) he did use what he had available to him and for that he DID INDEED up his game no matter how we feel about it maybe we would have felt like winners if our clip was played on the show..i know I would have…but….we are still fans of the show, and We Will/ I’ll always will be..until maybe yoshi starts liking plastic tires or something absurd that..yeah i don’t think so..but yes he did win, and that just goes to show we were weak in our games/ clips..so we need to learn to improve in ours for the future, And that is how I feel/opinion on this matter..

   Maybe not..yet….over with that…rant..just yet..

   Now with that being typed I did have the honor to talk to some fans last night and this was something that made my spark shine a little brighter on this subject matter, and EVEN c beast (and we were both pretty tired as well) joined in for a bit and we did talk about a few things that I would have brought up on if I did win, but the magic was there… but in a different form…it was conversing with some other fans whom liked what I did and had some of the same thoughts and pov I may have had..so that was fun and I’m glad I was a part of it, yes it would have been nice to have the rest of the cast but remember, there fans as well, just like us..they just have a AWSOME SHOW and they will always be something I listen to and look forward to and enjoy.fans there magic will always be there for us… we just learn (maybe painfully) the need to share them with the winner..the cast is happy we played and they do ask for feed back (you regretting this yet, barr…I mean big c)..but we need to be happy they put out this wonderful show for us, and for that I’ll ALWAYS BE a eternal fan of theres…In a sense were all winners of this show because we feel this way because we did not win, but feel so passionate about it…at least I do…Ask Kevin over at palladium books, he’ll tell ya how passionate I’m about a cause I love! And yes before you ask I have plugged a transformers rpg book series for YEARS for those whom know of what I speak of…

   Now when I(someday) meet youshi/talk to him, WE’LL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!….

   And make rubber tires for ALL transformers figures….With spares..of course….

   I know I rambled a bit , but I’m a fan of the show,and I tend to type long winded, SO THERE!!

   The mental madman, or masterplan that is…

   I almost forgot, there was a fan whom said they did not like recolors reuses of the same molds, but I wonder how they feel about generation 2,in which I think the whole line is about 2-3rds reuse/recolor that way?..

    Not gonna lie about this one (and I don’t wish to make any one mad about this, BUT )…part of me is giggling about this whole ” “we can’t sell MP exhaust in the us because of sponsor ship” bit. See kids there’s a reason I said “don’t start that shit!”…i know fans should be old enough to make there own decisions, but i do find it a bit funny, crap seiberfron.com had a Tom and Jerry shot of them smoking about the whole dammed thing, i just hope the fans who want it can get it but i still hate the nick name it has…

    Looking at 80st tee gang just now, and I have to say some of those hoodies were funny with those models they hand, the megaton cracked me up and the gridlock reminded me of the gi Joe cross over grimlock..now on to a different note:

    AHEM:
    WHO THE HELL is gonna be the female’s to wear these “sexy transformers” outfits,WHAT KIND OF COS PLAY IS GOING ON HERE!!!? I would have to leave the room if my wife if she was dressed as prime (nope not gonna interface with ya honey dressed like THAT!! ), oh sweet primus,what’s the fusion cannon on megaton gonna be “shaped” like,no sir, DMG wants “no part of that shit, dewy!”

    Now on the other hand (no pun intended yoshi), I DID find the ladies very neck shirts ….nice… they did bow the deceptions top crest a bit “warped up a bit near the top” than the rest of the shirts,what did you think yoshi?….

    I think I know what I may get the wife this christmas, and yes I’ll tell them the AWSOME TRANMISSIONS PODCASTS did indeed send me to there store.

    There I’m done for the weekend.

    Nope I’m lying there now…maybe…maybe not…
