Yay it’s finally here!!!!
Thanks for having me on guys. You certainly do put a lot of work into your show.
WOW YOU GUYS KNOW HOW TO MAKE US GO THROUGH WITHDRAWLS!!!!!!!!
After making us all going into withdrawals for this episode I have to admit it is worth the wait. Though the show is down 2 men of the Great and Mighty Yoshi and the Ever Corrected and Never Completed Figures though they not Cybertronian Beast. Mathew Ignash brought a lot of great stuff to the show. I do look forward the the Pretender style figures.
As for all the Toy news I am not too surprised by what is going on with MP Exhaust with all the deals with that industry. I do look forward to the D-Style Megatron. I like they way the do those guys.
I also think the Leonides looks a lot like a Gundam.Though thst isn’t a bad thing. I just hope his price isn’t too high when he is released.
As I told you guys on Twitter my local comic shop has closed either for good or just temporary. They told me they were moving though if they are moving to where they said I don’t know how long they will last there. So sadly I will be delayed for at least a couple of months on getting any of the new books. SO I will have to relay on your great reviews for the stories. Sadly this has to happen right when the new Drift series gets released and also when I can get a 50% discount for a 6 month subscription. Which I had hoped to get some started this upcoming year to help me get more issue covers.
I also need to say that I have surpassed Yoshi in my Transformers Comic Collection. I recently got quite a few issues and reached over 650 individual issues. I not sure if I have passed the others in this way but hopefully. I should also say I am in the works for getting a collection of over 300. If I don’t get them all I might be getting at least 100 of them. So hear is to hoping of claiming them.
Charles I want to say good job on not loosing control of this episode like you did the last one though it was a great show. It was hard to listen to when you are laughing so hard every 5 minutes.
Lastly I want to just say hurry back Yoshi and Darryl you guys are always missed.
I meant to mention that we the Transmissionaries that have been getting together have been testing both Skype and Google Hangout. We mostly are now just hanging out and talking until we can get a more accurate time that most of us can join. With it being the Holiday season and with a few of us being sick we have had some problems but we hope to have it sorted soon.
If any other Transmissionaries out there are interested in joining us please shot me a Tweet. My Twitter is Dinobotmaximize@FFVIIrules. We have been trying meet and chat on Friday and Saturday Nights around 8 – 9 depending on the time zone you are in.
Sadly some of those G1 sounding FOC/WFC trailers were removed from Youtube. Here are some of the ones that are left:
Shockwave – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5ple_208vc
Jazz – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzToEIVcwsA
Fall of Cybertron – http://vimeo.com/42146450
Also, here is the Special Teams video, which I did my best to sing in the episode – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xw6ePu3sto
In terms of the sacles of the mastermasterpieces, I would have to say they might be in between 1/62 and 1/72 however things like mp prowl and bumblebee. owning some zoid models and gundam models and looking at videos and pictures of the toys, I would say mp bumblebee and prowl are 1/100 and 1/144 scale. I sadly dont own any mp transformers sadly so dont take my word fully, I am just making an observation.
The cars are about 1/32 scale. Which is what the Asterisk cars are. However, the MP line, overall, favors the scale of bot modes over alt mode slightly. That’s how you end up with Bumblebee’s Beetle being so much smaller than a Lambo (when they should be alot closer in length) and Rodimus’ speedster completely dwarfing the other MP cars. The 1/100 and 1/144 scales are better suited to aircraft and Gundams because a 1/32 scale model airplane could probably take up half of my living room.
