  1. Wow, that Fort Max even has that theme from the anime? Not bad. Was nice to hear the father-daughter moments with Fort Max. Finally, some props to Darryl from me XD.

    As nice as that official MP Megatron v2 looks, and while I’m all for the enthusiasm towards it, I’m particularly put off by some of the fandom’s immediate obsessive reaction to it. Kinda ruins my interest in Megs 2.0’s development. Yes, it’s official, yes, it’s named Megatron, and has the decepticon logo on the figure… But already half the fandom is slobbering over it, hailing it as Figure of the year by simply showing the prototype, and immediately they go “fuck 3rd party”, even when the figures are officially out and from what I hear has some positive reviews.

    All I’m saying is a lot of these fans should chill out and wait till MP Megatron is out, then see if, in hand, is actually the best version of Megatron out there.

    Personally, if being compared to mp-10, Despotron fits a lot better proportion-wise. But that’s just me.

  2. I watched the live stream of the 3rd Party Panel and loved the fact that Darryl was going crazy about Omega Supreme, but who wasn’t !! I think it was great you guys did that and was a great bit for those unable to attend and got to see it the panel in a way!
    I am curious about the Transformers Hasbro Fan Club will if you have a TFCC membership work on???
