hey gang just want to say :its great to be the first one here again @3:09am
,its kinda like saying “the best part of waking up ,is having transmissions in your cup”…?
wait a min, thats not right,
but ok,anyway…
i have yet to listen to it…not gonna lie im gonna right now…yea (little girl squeal)
AHEM…
……audio platinum, oh joy……
Shockwave DID indeed die (BIG UPS on you big c for knowing that) in the script, and in IDW comic adaptation he did bit it by Unicron,he kinda got “halfed” so may be there’s a “half a chance” he still functions?
wah, wah whaaaaa…
I still do know why the cartoon model of jetfire cant be made fully, but i guess thats why we have 3 party after all, i guess the Middle/classics toy is the closest ill ever see, i owned it and took it back because of the jet mode being TOO close to a F-15 tomcat, i want a cartoon /alt mode accurate toy,PRIMUS DAM IT!!
(how ever i do “sorta” have a centipedes “inside leg” on the LAME EVILS of harmony gold..so i might see if i can do some digging on that issue …if it can be done…)
I was along the lines of just the scale minis (like Big c was along the right line, and my wife as her first gift to me did indeed give me the first star trek movie micro machine set as a gift,i still have it unopened, thanks babe!!!), but yoshis thinking of a “mighty Max” opening play set i would not gripe about as well,thats a pretty good idea i had not thought of.now ill be obsessed over that now too,GREAT!
and no i dont hate all the cast/fans, (unlike you yoshi, LOVE YOU…) you guys are FLIPPIN awsome!!!!!
thanks for all you guys do for your fans with your OUTSTANDING PODCAST, we love you all…you too yoshi,duck tape included!!!
DMG

DMG

EVERYBODY HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!
Nice show this week. Some information for you.
That DX9 Amor Set is actually called Amor Set. It’s just American sited keep reporting the name wrong. http://en.wikialpha.org/wiki/Amor_Set
Also, we do have picturres telling us DX9 Gewalt is Blitzwing, here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/1035763-dx9-not-blitzwing.html
Gewalt even appeared in a DX9 comic! http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/attachments/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/27513933d1430303363-dx9-toys-d05-chigurh-leader-mp-astrotrain-55642b09jw1ermludiuk7j20dc0hstbe.jpg
I am interested in the TFCC combiner, but money is tight. I love updated Targetmasters. I wonder if the mystery extra figure will be Brawn repainted as Targetmaster Quake.
Obviously I mean BRAWL repainted as Quake.
One of the hosts mentioned that they don’t recognize the head of the club Bludgeon. I think the head is based on the head of the INNER robot. We have not seen the combined mode head yet, but I suspect it will be the Pretender shell skull head.
Every week you blow me away with your knowledge and search sir!
Keep it up! I like being blown away.
I don’t think you guys read the Classicverse comics from the club, but there was a story a couple years ago where Bludegon and Megatron got into a big battle over control of the Decepticons. Megatron won, and in the fight the Pretender shell for Bludgeon was destroyed by Piranacon. So I’m thinking this is that same Bludegon, instead of rebuilding himself a new shell he upgraded himself into a combiner torso so he can take his revenge on Piranacon and Megatron.
Another great episode guys! As for the issue with Override, this issue is very similar to an arc in the Cybertron/Galaxy Force anime series where Hotshot had to race Override and ransack for pretty the same goal as Blurr except it was for a cyber planet key/ force chip. Also interesting fact about Override, in the Japanese dub of the anime, Override is male and in the English dub Override is female. And in the Japanese dub of Beast Wars, Airrazor is also male
Hey guys
Thanks for clear up the audio issue. It made sense why the quality was different. It also makes sense that better sound systems would make the differences more noticeable vs something like ear buds. I just came up with a Value Village/Transmissions slogan. Now had some idiot not donated the MP-21G he could have entered…DOH! LOL it’s all good and you guys are more then welcome.
I really like the idea of the Transformer themed Micro Machine play sets. I don’t always have to have the toy transform to enjoy the characters. They did do a line of “Robot Heroes” that where interesting yet poorly executed. They could have lend themselves very easily to being interactive with a base style palyset. As for Playsets why does the Ninja Turtles get a sewer play set that is massive and we can’t get an Ark play set…..Hasbro ……WTF!
I have the SDCC dinobot Ark play set and it’s a monster to display. It just stays in the box…..so really do we actually want large play sets? Likely no to that size. However something smaller for the Legends or Cyberverse figures would be much more manageable and fill that gap that collectors and even kids would like.
Alright guys, it’s way too positive and giddy in here, so I’m here to rain on the parade. I think you need to stop with the “Deep Throating News”. It’s not news, well it would be if it were on Fox News, but it is not viable news. You can’t cite the source and even you said you don’t know what their relation to the information is. For all you know this is just some fan’s slash fiction dream and without credible citing, I think it needs to stop. It’s all speculation and there’s plenty of that on the message boards already.
Hey Chad,
I totally get where you’re coming from. The four of us hosts all talked about this Deep Throating informant, in depth, before podcasting any of it. We had the same reservations you do.
In the end, we all agreed to share the news our informant has given Charles. The four of us have never been in this position before. If in time a majority of the news that Deep Throating has provided us turns out to be legit, then all this time we’ve spent sharing with you the insider information we’ve received will be worth it.
If the information we’ve gotten from Deep Throating turns out to be 100% bullshit than the boys and I have learned a valuable lesson.
Behind the scenes of TransMissions, Charles has been presented with things from Deep Throating that has him convinced that what we are sharing with you on the podcast is legit. Things that go beyond speculation. Things that he can’t even share with the rest of us. For me, if Charles says he’s convinced by all this, than I’m convinced.
Right or wrong, we’ll all know the truth in due time my friend.
Youseph,
It’s obviously your decision, I just thought I’d put it out there cause it seems wrong on so many levels and I haven’t seen any other listener question the validity of the information. It kind of looks like a listener draw ploy more than anything cause I haven’t heard any other podcast be given such “insider information” before.
Hi Chad,
I understand the skepticism, considering we’ve given you no evidence. But it’s also not as if we make this section the main focus of the show, or present the information as anything other than unconfirmed.
I’m convinced that what we’ve been presenting on the show is legitimate, but I don’t expect you to take my word for it, and I can’t share my source with you, so we’re left with a dilemma. I think it’s worthwhile to put the info out there even if we won’t get validation for several months.
What I can tell you is that we’re not making this up to draw in new listeners. If nothing else we always want to be honest with the listeners. Our source very well may be trolling us, and this might all be BS, but I have received this information from an outside source, and I have seen enough that convinces me it’s real.
Another great episode guys !!!! There are just a few things I want to speak on….
1) Don’t you find it odd we are flooded with all of one character from several companies at the same time? Example all these Devastators. Granted some came out way before the others But still we got several types of him within a few months of each other. The same goes for Galvatron. It makes the saying of “So many figures so little money” that much more apparent.But of course I am sure we all feel that way about collecting anything.
2) Something to consider about the TFCC Needlenose has to be his use into the CW line. With him being a combination of CW Firefly(flight) and Generations Scoop. He does tie into the line. Meaning his ability to combine with the current lines. Can you imagine adding him to Menasor? I am not saying I will get him but I might mostly for this option. But as with all figures the price has to be right.
3) I want to repost my question for Deepthroating
.1) Are there any plan weather in the comics or in toys for more on the Magnus Armor, n the way of a history of who wore the armor and what happened to them in the armor and such?
2) Will there be any additional figures in repaints/remolds of Alpha Trion / Minimus Anbius as characters who wore the armor in it’s history or a new type of Ultra Magus figure showing the armor’s evolution through history?
I am asking because I really like the way they have done this in the story and would really love a “History of…” or a “Timeline” or something of this sort about the armor and who wore it, what battles they were in, how they got the armor, and how they died or lost the armor. I not saying that there is a possiblity that many bots wore the armor. But I am curious.
Lastly guys and this will really shock you all and mostly Yoshi. ( That is if he is still into it with me) But I actually haven’t purchased any new comics in about 2 months now. Sad and scary I know. But so issues came up and my finances for comics were cut short. (Namely school starting back and having to have some plumbing dealt with) Currently I have over 900 (give or take) in individual comics and tpbs. I already have a order sitting and waiting from TFAW to get things going again here real soon. Plus I have more orders in the works as well. Breaking the 1000 comic mark should be happening real soon. I should also note if I haven’t already I had a pretty good scare a few weeks back now. Had a leak in my home that caused my comic boxes the get wet. Thankfully none of my books were damaged or anything it only got the bottom of several boxes. I had to of course throw them out. And currently have a good number of books in one large box for the time being. My local place where I get the boxes for a great price was sold out and had to wait for him to get some more in. Which should be next week hopefully. I will try and let you know.
But keep up the great work guys !!!!
After the show you guys reminded me of the dark of the moon ark playset,it kinda fits that mighty max bill to a degree,but I was thinking of just the micro machine themed size,…
Buy then again,if we did indeed get that dotm ark playset with non transforming mini figs or at least a robot and a alt mode,to me that would be fine too.i know hasbro does Indeed care about scale, but just to a degree..if we had a single mini fig,or a simple 1 step tf and use that as a bases for an entire line that could be built/scaled up from that one item I would be amazed but i think hasbro will never do it ,or did they sorta do that with the generations metroplex with army men themed/sized figurines in the past?
Clocker and Ransack were also characters from Transformers: Cybertron. Ransack was one of the comic relief villains of the show, and clocker was only on the speed planet episodes if i remember correctly.
oh one more thing big C I do remember the planet apocalypse from DC even though I’m not the Biggest of DC fans but DID know what/were you’re talking about so with that one buddy no crickets I’ve got your back!!! two I was just thinking about something else in the second drift miniseries wasn’t there a micro master that was fighting grit I believe,it was fire shot or vanquish…?
