   You guys are cracking me up! Yoshi! You should know that I signed the petition waaaay back when I first heard about it, shared it on fb, aaaaaand got Emmerz into Transformers. So there, fucker! 🙂 Read Last Stand of the Wreckers or Emmerz is gonna be mad at you. :p She also got me into Deadpool so that’s why we are made for each other. Also, we aren’t married for the record.

   You guys rock! I have the comics from JP for you safe and sound. Just let me know when you want to hook up. Can’t wait to hang with you guys at TFcon!

   In response to the comic review, I’m with Big C where I felt the plot on this mtmte arc was thin. I also thought the dance club scene at the end was gold. Being a DJ over the last 15-20 years, it hold a special place in my heart. Seeing Blaster behind the deck was awesome. I actually don’t listen to too much indie rock but my record store retail job allowed me to get all of Roberts’ band references. I’m looking forward to getting some dark and violent stories now that the last few issues have had a lot of lightheartedness.

   Also Getaway is a creeper.

   Thought I might leave a comment or two this week. So of course I ended up jotting down two pages worth. So here goes…

   -Am I the only one picturing Darryl and Metroplex sipping Mimosa’s on the patio instead of recording?
   -Hooray for more Patreons! The more the merrier!
   -An interview with ANYONE involved with Devastation would be fantastic. Maybe if it’s closer to launch they won’t have to be so guarded.
   -I’m sure you know by now, but MP Ironhide will split into robot and battle platform thing. Also not sure about those panels on his hips. But a lot of people have been harping on that so maybe the can re-engineer it.
   -Trukk not Munky! (Sorry, had to)
   -Congrats on the Botcon shout out! See, a lot of people know how awesome you guys are! You guys certainly deserve the recognition. I hope my podcast becomes that loved some day. Although not quite holding my breathe on that.
   -And yes, get every IDW person ever on the show. Haven’t heard a bad interview with any of them ever.
   -Sky Lynx blew my mind. He is a def get. Also getting Wheeljack and Prowl. Probably skipping Ironhide since I already have First Aid in that mold.
   -Probably going to get Bruticus as well. Gotta have a Swindle (R.I.P.), right? And Blast Off as a jet is cool with me. Digging Legends Shockwave as well.
   -You mentioned Pipes (R.I.P.) without a moment of silence? That’s just wrong and I’m putting my foot down on this (hehehe).
   -I got RID Grimlock for my son (well, when’s he’s older that is) but I’m totally getting the G1 colored one for myself.
   -I think the only animal Welker doesn’t voice in movies/TV is Perry the Platypus.
   -I have been in love with the Ravage cover for #42 since I first saw it a few months ago. It’s the background on my tablet.
   -The 2 page Swerve recap seemed odd, but after hearing Charles explain the economics of pages in comics I feel much better about it. Seriously, is there anything he doesn’t know?
   -The reveal of “personality ticks” made me laugh out loud and I’m not afraid to admit it.
   -Again, no moment of silence for Ambulon (R.I.P.) I’m really split on this (hehehe)
   -Getaway was almost enjoyable these last two issues. And then the end happened.
   -I get the criticisms for this issue, but for me the personality ticks, the Rodimus/Megatron gag, and Magnus telling NIghtbeat he’s way too showy made it all worth it for me.
   -And finally, Prime transforming into a truck and landing on bots in Devastation is awesome, but its slightly beat out by him swinging his freaking trailer around.

   Ok, I’m done. Another great show. You guys are the best.

   Best luck to Daryl getting to a place where he can come back. I love you guys, but the toy section is limping a little bit. 🙂

   I was pretty surprised with the Botcon reveals. Bruticus was obvious, but a new mold for Brawl, and Swindle looks like a retooling of Rook – that’s pretty wild. I like it a lot.

   I was really surprised that I liked the Autobots as much as I did. Out of the Stunticons, Breakdown is probably the weakest, but somehow that Sunsteaker looks GREAT out of that mold. The Wheeljack has some nice remolding for alt mode, but the bot mode leaves something to be desired. Despite lacking the car-hood chests and door wings, holy crap, Prowl and Smokescreen look great! I was expecting Prowl to be a little more IDWish, but sure, this works. Wonder if there’s a Bluestreak in the pipeline… Hmmmmmm. Trailcutter…BREAKER looks pretty OK. I don’t really like Ironhide, which makes me sad. I really want a new Ironhide (and Ratchet, in turn) for my Classics collection, and this definitely isn’t it. I was also very surprised how much I liked Mirage.

   Sky Lynx was the show stealer. That is DEFINITELY not a Silverbolt remold, though. You guys are silly. Still, you’re right, I think everyone seems to agree that he doesn’t split. Apparently there’s an unofficial mode that lets you kinda fake a Lynx mode, but we’ll see when he’s out, I suppose. I’ll probably combine him for funsies, but I think he’ll just always be Sky Lynx for me. Fun concept, if a bit silly. Can you imagine being part of that combiner? See what it’s like in his mind? I shudder at the thought.

   I guess if I ever want to chat with one of the IDW artists, I should just go up and say “Hey, I’m Tom Lynch. They read my bullshit feedback on Transmissions sometimes.” I’m just not all that good at the conversating thing. I like listening better. Unless, of course, there’s been beers.

   Much love, guys!
   -Tom

   Yet another episode Cyber Beastless. But i think the guys did a good job on the toys especially considering it was BOTCON!!!! Darryl is probably going nuts !!!! ANd Yoshi is loving that !!!!!!
   So much great stuff at Botcon. I loved it all though I will admit my main surprise besides the MP Optimus Primal. Has to be the mold used for Blast Off. I figured it would be a remold of Alpha Bravo/ Blades / Vortex. I got the vibe from him that a little work on his rear end and minus the blades of course, and we have a space Shuttle. But it all good.
   I will admit the main thing I miss about Cyber Beast is the Darryl complete figures!!!!
   But another great show guys!!! And guess what My Comic Collection is closing in on the 900 mark another month or 2 and it will be broke. Might break 1000 by end of the year so I think quanity I OWN Yoshi but maybe in quality Yoshi beats me!!!

   Whoo dino,your slinging some mighty big words there about “owning” yoshi,I’m wondering what his response will be… And his wife may have an issue with that as well…
   I finally got to listen to all the podcast today,and did enjoy it,did not take notes this go a round but looking at it later this week….i do have a few things though. ..don’t shudder,… this is the short version… Like I write long feedback …well not of late anyway
   1.part of me agrees with dino on the fan guest host thing to a point…it would be neat and fun to do, I don’t belive you need past podcast experience before to podcast with you guys,after all you guys did start out green before too at least at some point in time,and im sure you’ve got a list longer that your collective arms length of eho wants to do it,but hey its your guys show I’m not going to tell you how to run it… But of course I would not say no to it either….
   2. Is big c going to release a collection of his vocals?, according to yoshi,he’s got the voice…hmmm I seem to remember a fan saying something about his voice some time back …can’t remember who but you let us know when he does it,ok Barry… Go on, shake your groove thing….
   3. Do you guys think with all the remolds in combiner wars that hasbro have some form of “transforming catalog”? In example all the micro masters transformed pretty much the same way,but in combiner wars I mean swindle is a remold of rook but the transformation is the same way,so would that be a numbered transformation perhaps? I’m sure there are a number of transformers that share a similar transformation method…
   Keep up the ecstatic work and the outstanding podcast!!!
