   Great show guys.

   If people want to see more pictures from the Children’s Museum Transformers exhibit TFW2005 has some great shots: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/other-news-20/childrens-museum-of-indianapolis-transformers-exhibition-images-182242/

   and the Children’s Museum site does, too.. https://www.childrensmuseum.org/exhibits/transformers-robots-disguise

   I had some people ask what the pricing of the figures was like in the gift shop. From what I remember Jetfire was $64.99 and Windblade was $21.99. So you will definitely pay museum gift shop prices for figures if you plan to buy them there.

   But I was amazed by the variety. There were Combiner Wars figures, recent figures like generations deluxe class Starscream and Jhiaxus, and tchotchke items for the kids such as keychains. All marked up to ridiculous prices.

   I finally picked up some Dreamwave comics (by maybe less than legal means) and was pleasantly surprised. One thing that was hard to get used to was every human looking too much like anime figures. But I can’t wait to pick up some Combiner Wars comics 🙂

   Wow !!! Another Great Episode!!!
   My Thoughts..
   On X-Transbots Windcharger and Tailgate. I like the Windcharger but I am like Big C and prefer the IDW version of Tailgate.
   On GCreations Grimlock there is just something about these Dinobots coming from GC I just don’t like. Maybe it the way the seem so bulky or just how they just look in the combined form. I think I may pass on them until I see more on them after all are released.
   Badcube’s Wardog I also will pass on. Don’t get me wrong he looks cool , but I feel he is just too big in size for a MP Warpath I feel he needs to be a bit smaller.
   MP 23 and 24 I would love both but will have to wait and see a good price on them
   Combiner Wars Sunstreaker and Mirage I do like the idea for them. I think when they are released I will get them and use them with the Wave 1 Prime. Though Sunstreaker should be red for Sideswipe. That is if they are trying to go off the Masquerade episode from the G1 series. Where Prime was Motomaster , Jazz was Deadend , Sideswipe was Breakdown , Mirage was Dragstrip , and Windcharger was Wildrider. I would love to display them as the combined Omega Prime that way

   Also let me put it out again that any fan or Transciever who is wanting and willing to join us on our little hangout is still more than welcome to do so. All you have to do is sennd me a Tweet on Twitter , have a Skype or a Google+ account up to date , and be available on Friday or Saturday ( mostly do it on Saturdays ) at 8 – 9 pm Central time. We have plenty of room for anyone to join us.

   Great episode guys! Thank you again. Since I’m a toy guy like Darryl, here are a few thoughts I have about figures mentioned (this is going to be a DMG level long comment here :P).

   XTB Windcharger / Tailgate: meh they don’t look that good. If Ollie (their not Wheelie) is any indication of the quality, they’re probably wont’ be worth the price. Just wait for MakeToy’s Manga series Tailgate later in the year (which will probably be cheap per figure anyway)

   GCreations Grimlock, the proportion looks very odd imo, Their final form basically looks like Grimlock wearing the other dinobots as armor, so another “meh” from me. 😛

   Speaking for Dinobots, holy crap G1 reissues??? Someone should ask the executives at Botcon on how they were able to revive the molds. I’m hoping that this set will be under $200 USD, and the plastic quality to be better than the Platinum Inescticon set. A reviewer on YouTube did say that the plastic on the platinum Insecticons aren’t very good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lADJWhSMP5g

   Quick comment on the Kabaya TF D collection, the listed price is for a display box of 8 figure in the case. They will be quite small it seems. I have a Japanese Super Market here in town, if anyone is interested in these, I can keep an eye out for them.

   On the topic of future MPs coming before Tracks, if they are going to be race cars I can only think of Jazz or Mirage, or Cliffjumper from the MP Bumblebee mold. Man, how long do I have to wait for an official MP Jazz??? C’mon Porsche, let your license loose a little eh? As for Exhaust, I didn’t manage to get a preorder at any of the Japanese import sites, so I’m hoping I can pick one up not at crazy after market prices.

   As for MP Star Saber, I think I’m the only one here that is EXCITED!!! about it’s release. I’ve mentioned at a hangout that I’m pumped to see a non-car Transformer coming to the MP line, it will be breath of fresh air so to speak. It’s only a few days away from the release date! W00t!!!

   When Darryl was hating on combining Optimus, I think of all the Primes that did actually combined with other bots, and most of them were pretty cool imo.

   – From G1 you have Powermaster Prime w/ Apex Armor (or God Ginrai from Masterforce),
   – the orig. R.I.D. (Car Robot), Optimus combined with Ultra Magnus to form Omega Prime, that was awesome.
   – Then you have Armada Prime that combine with his own Trailer or Jetfire and overload.
   – After that you got Energon Prime with his own drones to form Megazord-like bot, or a combination with Wing Saber.
   – At the end of the Unicron Trilogy you have Cybetron Prime with his own trailer, or with another version of wing saber for the ultimate form (still one of my favorites)
   – Then in Movie 2 RotF, he “combined” with jetfire to gain the ability to fly, and promptly dump his body parts after he’s done -_-”

   So yeah there’s a long history of Prime combining with other bots I suppose. Honestly, I’m not oppose to them making an official “Masquerade” from that one G1 episode.

   I looked up the Japanese Transformers game that you guys mentioned in a previous episode, It’s called Transformers Ultimate Allstars, and it plays like those defense games where you send your characters in different lanes across screen to destroy the enemy’s base. I looked it up in the Android market, and it seems to only have 2.8 out of 5 stars rating. Guess we aren’t missing much there. Just play Battle Tactics if you need a TF game on your phone. You can check out that art here though if you like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.heroz.transfomers

   Lastly (I promise), I don’t think I’ve heard it announced, so I want to ask if the transmission team is going to either TFcon this year? Since they recently announced TFcon USA’s location this year a few days ago, I’m trying to plan on which con to attend.

   Oh one more thing, great to see Jake back again! Keep on your good work Jake, you’ll be recognized some day, and thanks for keeping our pets save from over population.

   That’s all from me, folks! haha

   I’m just commenting to assure Yoshi that that is indeed my real name.

   I heard a lot of complaining from people that the GCreation Grimlock looks like the MP Grimlock, just bigger and has a combiner mode. To which I respond… why is that a problem? The two flaws MP Grimlock has are it’s a bit small, and it has no combiner mode. Sounds like just what people needed. All the GCreation Dinobots are very G1 accurate, so it would have been silly for that one member to suddenly make up a new design.

   I don’t have any of the CW wave 2 deluxes, yet. So, I’m still iffy on the Breakdown/Sunstreaker retool. But, I’ve been fooling around with Dragstrip and with the proper retooling he might just make a passable Mirage. He can even shoulder mount a weapon, something classics Mirage can’t do without modification or a third party add-on.

   Great episode guys as always, and the much anticipated countdown to #100 draws closer. I have a few little tidbits of thought here.

   On the Firebird logo, looking at the renders it appears the head is pointing straight up and not to the right so that can slide past a possible infringement, but I do agree if they made a K.I.T.T variant I would be hard pressed not to want to pick that up.

   I am not impressed at all about a combining dinobot team, I would much prefer the KO MP Grimlock that is still being teased versus any of the thousands of 3rd party offerings. Now on the other hand the possible G1 Dinobot team reissue has peaked my interest. All I hope is that they are affordable, to which I highly doubt.

   Darryl, I much like you look at all the combiner war toys as a huge drain on my wallet, but the majority of figures do stand well enough on their own. In saying that, having to combine them with an Optimus Prime is completely optional. I personally passed on Wave 1 Prime and stuck with just Superion.

   I did jump on Google giving away the live action Transformers movie, why not it was free. In addition to Jeremy finding the Google Play app for iOS devices, if your Google Play account is the same one you use for YouTube, you can watch your purchased content on the iOS YouTube app.

   I just have one minor suggestion for the show and it has to do with how you start bringing it home at the end the show. Charles does his run down of everything you have going on, where to contact you, your Patreon, yadda, yadda, yadda. Once you have all said your goodbyes you have a closing segment of Yoshi pretty well repeating the same thing. So other than maybe streamlining that process I really don’t know what can be done to change that, all this is proof I listen to every second of the show!.

   If this comment is read, it would be pretty cool to hear Charles say Yadda, Yadda, Yadda! Oh and Yoshi, where’s the yodel?

    Charles, Darryl is correct. I was not correcting him, I was simply giving him some more information. Unless you want to consider him mistaken by omission. 😉
