  1. Ok, I must have said something wrong if my gender ended up being a running joke for some reason.
    I’m sorry if I said something uncool few weeks back.

    • On the subject of machinima’s combiner wars, this might sound stupid but can’t help but think… What if Hasbro is purposely making the show garbage to just make the upcoming Bayformers 5 look good? Just in case Bayformers 5 bombs even worse than the adventures of Pluto Nash, they can always refer the combiner wars being worse just to mock G1 fans.

      Again, it’s only a random theory on my part, since it’s more believable that Hasbro is simply just cashing in on the brand.

    • Nah, Sealslammer, you didn’t say anything wrong. Yoshi’s just being a dick, as usual. 😛

    SEAL SLAMMER!! you “beat” me here again?!
    I don’t feel you have anything to be concerned with about the gender thing,
    and so far you have yet (in my eyes ) to say anything uncool…

    Now, do i wish to leave a “novel” here in the feed back section…?
    i’ll listen to the ep and THEN we’ll all find out…..

    • The advantages of living in south east asia, I guess. That and shipping 3rd party toys from Asian TF 3rd party companies isn’t that painful. 3rd party prices are still painful though, but can’t resist that Striker Manus…

    For the record ,and at this time..you have never wrote anything I had felt wrong or otherwise…you may get to reply FAR soon that but i am ok with that too..the only thing wrong is your not near enough to converse in person, but the are other avenues to try..maybe that’s something the ‘cast can have us do and it’s been awhile that I know of dino max had us together (as for me mostly my fault,..this thing called life and little to no spare time)…I’m game if someone has a new idea or two …I know you out there dino,I’ve not forgotten you.

  4. As I said on Discord I do believe that the Tarn will be a one we will see one Ebay going for at least $200 minimum . Or at least until they decide to do a 2nd run which I do hope they do.

  5. Hi guys!

    According to Vangelus on the WTF@TFW podcast, Planet Steel Express is MMC’s unofficial “official” vendor. That may be why Kultur is less expensive there than other places. I’ve never shopped there, but I can’t imagine them being anything but good if MMC favors them.

    I’m not too surprised these new figures sold out so quickly. I have their Spartan (IDW Impactor) and I agree with the general consensus: WOW. MMC has a reputation for quality, and with every new design, they just keep getting better and better.

    I have no attachments to the monsterbots, but I always thought they looked awesome. I had a childhood friend who had a Doublecross, and that was an awesome figure. Either Hasbro lost the trademark to the name or something else, but I think the Titans Return name for him, “Twinferno,” is even better!

    On to the comic. I’m so far behind on the books I have, but I don’t mind getting spoilers from you guys. On the topic of Ironhide and Chromia, weren’t they a couple in G1? I seem to remember Optimus and Elita-1, Ironhide and Chromia, and Inferno and Moonracer. I may be mistaken; it’s been awhile.

    I’ll be checking the links in the show notes later today. For now, it’s time to start work.
