Great Interview Guys !!! I will have to admit I have never purchased anything from RIPT , but have been wanting to. Though that will change! I have bought a couple of Transformers shirts from another website , plus have gotten one locally and one from Lootcrate !! I want to have more to show off my love for the series!! (Though I also have a shirt from a certain Team that I do enjoy to wear and have gotten praise for TPAT!!!).
I have posted this in the feedback for the site but will do here as well by saying CONGRATES ON REACHING EPISODE 200 !!!! Being such a fan of the show I am proud to be a Transceiver, fellow Transformers Fan , and more importantly a friend to you guys and all the other Transcievers !!!!! Around my area I can find very few Transformers fans so I do value hearing the appreciation and just straight up love that myself and others have for such a beloved series that has been around for over 30 years now !! ( Scary part of being a fan for 30+ years makes you realize just how old we have become!!)
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GUYS !!! HERE IS ONE FANS HOPE THAT YOU REACH 300 , 500 , HELL 2,000 EPISODES!!!!!!!
Great episode guys. I don’t post a ton, but I listen to every episode including the Extra shows. So just wanted to say congratulations on making it to 200 episodes of the main show. I think you have found a good formula and cast for the program. Hope to see 200 more episodes.
Some questions:
1. Overall what are the cast’s feelings about KOs? I just started buying masterpiece figures and I see a number of them on Amazon and ebay listed as knockoffs and they look good and people on Youtube seem to universally like them, but I wonder how much buying them hurts Hasbro and Takara and what are the chances of getting a lemon action figure.
2. What do you guys see happening with the Transformers movies? Would you like to see the Bumblebee spinoff movie?
3. Weird question: If the Dinobots come back do you think they will be the same size as they were in Age of Extinction or will they mysteriously be smaller to scale with the rest of the Transformers?
