[Haven’t listened yet] I have wondered for a while if Sawback/Lione was related to the ancient Headmaster which Galvatron ripped in two back in RiD #30 (“Myskrion’s partner” according to TFWiki)
Here is that Jinbao Predaking add-on kit mentioned in the feedback:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/No-retail-box-Transformers-Jinbao-oversize-Predaking-Feral-Upgrade-Kits-figure-2-/131842453078?hash=item1eb26c2e56:g:pUAAAOSw9eVXWFNm
The seller is a reliable guy working out of China who has access to a lot of product, and he sells on both those Chinese sites that are hard to use and through ebay. If you don’t see something in his store, you can even ask him to get it for you.
So, say if somebody wanted to maybe… I don’t know… get this with say, all the KO Predaking figures too, is there a place with all of them, or at least a seller that is selling them all relatively inexpensive?
That same seller has an Aliexpress store. It’s a Chinese online store, and it’s reliable if you stick to the sellers with lots of good feedback, like this guy. Just buy this:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/No-retail-box-ko-oversize-60cm-tall-mmc-PREDAKING-Figure/703323_32578460676.html
and this:

He ships them with the original boxes removed, since they are so large they cost a fortune to ship!
The whole set will cost you $119 shipped for the large figures and the upgrade kit.
I really like the Titan’s Return Alpha Trion. With this being the 20th Anniversary of Beast Wars, I really want to see Alpha Trion be redone into say, Lio Convoy or Liger Jack(Leo Breaker) from the Beast Wars the Second and Galaxy Force (Cybertron) anime series!
If there is one thing about SDCC and TFcon and even BOTCON that can be said is….IT MAKES OUR WALLETS CRAWL INTO A CORNER AND WHIMPER. It also makes our wives wonder about our lives, when we want to but these great items. There was some great stuff shown that just makes me happy. I have to admit the Robots in Disguise figures do look good even though I personally won’t be collecting most of the line there are a few I have and more I will pick up. I will sadly admit that my area has been stale in the way of some of these lines. ( Still have a lot of CW Onslaught and Scattershots , also some of the Wave 6 deluxes, have yet to see a Sky Lynx) Though I will admit today I went by my local TRU and actually found a couple of good figures. One being Titans Hardhead and the BIG ONE FORTRESS MAXIMUS. I wasn’t about to pick them up , but I was sneaky. I hid the Hardhard and plan to put the Fort Max on layaway later this week. I will more than likely be ordering the Titan wave from our favorite place PRIMETOYS. My Spark brother has offered to repay me for the Hardhead so I more than likely will pick him up for him.
I just want to say say one other thing about the Transformers Comics being renamed and renumbered . WHAT THE FUCK!! ( Sorry for stealing you line Yoshi! )
As you know I am a huge fan of the comics myself and collect any and all covers and Printings. I also saying I don’t really hate the idea of the renaming and renumbering. But I did want to ask do you think this is all because of the DC Rebirth?? From what I have seen comic companies seem to do the same thing or some what the same thing around the same time if not one not long after the other. Granted I have only read a few TPBs of the DC and other Marvel series ( being a die hard Transformers Comics nut ) and not sure if they try and copy each other moves or characters story arcs or whatever. Love to hear what you guys say on this.
Lastly keep up the great work guys and again I do apologize for such a long comment. I do hope this one will get mentioned in the show.
In my 2nd listen to the show I realized I forgot to mention something I thought would happen in the comic. At the start of 55 I half thought that Megatron would have either mass shifted into a smaller form or reacted on instinct and either dodged the shots somehow or took them to the shoulder or arm. But using Trailbreaker or cutters force field was a nice touch. I have to admit some of the things that Megatron and been conserving up I had forgotten about.
