Guys, Soundwave and Blaster both came from the same line, Takara’s Microchange. Funny thing is both were blue in Microchange, it was Transformers that turned Blaster orange. Probably to make him look different.
Ok wait a minute, I’m checking to see whats going on with us transmitters (maybe I should have suggested transceivers instead,oh well)..looking. ..
Looking..
THEN I SEE A NEW EP ON HERE,then the Yoshi voice inside my head goes “wtf”!
Well I can’t bitch at you guys for being late on this one !I mean it’s worth the wait and all,don’t get me wrong,and thanks Mike for your hard word you’ve been doing for the guys ,we are thankful to you.
Well looks like it’s a start to a great weekend already,you guys take care at tf con,and I hope you do a show if possible from there if you can.
Take care all!
WOW A NEW EP ON THURSDAY, SWEET PRIMUS!!!
Some questions for you to ask your Titan Wars insider source.
1. Can you confirm the size class of the Blaster/Soundwave?
2. Will the Leader Class Optimus Prime have a base mode? Will it have a Roller?
3. Do you think the Headmasters from Titan Wars will fit on G1 toys? or on Generations Brainstorm?
4. Will the Cerebros of Fort Max have an independent alternate mode, or does he just turn from robot to Fort Max’s head?
Once again great to her the whole crew together again!!! Great Show guys!!!
I just want to say about the repaints / remolds of the Combiner Wars.Have oy noticed or counted how many times the molds have been used now?
Here is the list
Silverbolt 4 times – Silverbolt , G2 Silverbolt Cyclonus and Scattershot
Alpha Bravo 5 times – Alspha Bravo, Blades , Vortex , Stormclash and Skyburst
Firefly (Fireflight) 5 – Firefly, Quicksling (Slingshot), Blast Off G2 Firefly and G2 Slingshot
Skydive 2 times – Skydive and G2 SkyDIve

I more than likely may have missed some or got them mixed up but this is about right ( I HOPE) Granted I know I not included the Leader Megatron and Jetfire (Starscream and Thundercracker) . But close enough…
I also am very excited about the new series!! Any Transformers series I am happy about. Though Energon and Beast Machines just barely considered. I think like you guys say this can open doors for straight to Dvds movies. I personally would live to see some animated movies with these story arcs…

2) Return of Megatron Saga from G1 Marvel
3) Battle with Unicron with the side effects from the Return of Megatron from G1 Marvel
From DW
4) War WIthin all sagas

6) Maximum Dinobots
7)Last Stand of the Wreckers
8) Most of the Spotlights
9) Ongoing
10)More Than Meets the Eye
11) Robots in Disguise
12) WIndblade
13) GIJOE vs Transformers
14 and up ) Everything else IDW
Holy shit dude how long did it take you to write that… damn
Dude… how long did it take to write that
Darryl, this is something you must understand, Combiner Wars, does not end, til i get a CW Predaking!!!
Daryl, my friend, I must respectfully disagree with you. Of course, it’s a matter of opinion, so there’s no right or wrong answer anyway!
I’m still LOVING Combiner Wars! Superion definitely looks the best, combined anyway, but I find the limbs to be the least entertaining of the toys. Menasor is pretty terrible looking, unless you mistransform Motormaster as a torso. Messing with the legs a bit definitely helps him. The Motormaster figure, also, does some kind of magic, because I agree that that Optimus looks like hot garbage – I skipped it – but the mold has this brutish thug look to it that I feel really fits him. The limbs, though, are all fantastic toys. That Dead End mold is an awesome deluxe by itself. Defensor is a mixed bag, and in a good way, I think. I’m trying to look at him from your points of view to figure out what you guys don’t like about him. OK, I know Yoshi’s answer. I’m not going to tell you what to like and what not to, but I guess my rose-colored glasses are too thick. I love the blocky, chunkiness of him. Legends Groove took some getting used to, but I like him. Rook is a great toy, though I do want a deluxe Groove. The thing about Defensor is that all the toys are winners. If you like to mess around with your toys at your desk like I do, these guys win the prize for best individual toys. Except Blades. I don’t like Blades too much. YMMV.
For the upcoming stuff, I think some of the new stuff looks pretty cool, and some seems… strange. I’ll have to decide on things like Sunstreaker, Prowl, and Ironhide later on – they look good, but it IS kinda weird. I really dig that Hound, though. I definitely want that Bruticus.
Victorion… what a mixed bag. I actually don’t mind the colors too much, but I know I’m in the minority there. I love that sword. Swords. Whatever. They picked three good molds to work with, too. I don’t like that helicopter mold – isn’t part of her “gravity powers” supposed to involve spinning the helicopter blades? That mold can’t do that as a limb! That annoys me more than it probably should.
I’m totally with you on Scattorshot. Wow, what a letdown. From all the massive remolding done with some of the other figures, this guy is a TOTAL step backwards. New wings, new front-of-the-jet, and a new head? No new chest or combined mode head? I’m so glad I plopped down the money for Quantron last year. I have my Computron, but I feel really bad for anyone hoping for a Combiner Wars one. Maybe there’s something down the line.
Anyway, I’m about to get to the Deep Throating part. Catch ya later!
Hey,i got left out on the episode/ list and had 3 comments,what gives,do I need to go back to my Novel lengths feedback?!!!
I’ll do it,i swear!!!!
I’m gonna give this ep a second listen though here soon…was pretty good,but I’m a tad sad in the lack of feed back free dmg…..whimper…
may have to warm up the feed back fingers…
I mean it… I’ll do it!
Maybe they just consider you part of the show cast by now DMG?
Stop teasing me, ive been pretty/REALLY busy since May and the Michigan trip.. I have not had enough time to make/set aside to leave the “epic novel feedback” like I have in the past(and how I miss it so),I really need to step up my game on that…if time will allow.
but thank you very much fellow transmissions fan for the kind words, that means a lot.I would consider a great honor if it were true.
