First off, I want to say I love the podcast. I have tried other podcasts and the twincast was the best one in my opinion. Will any of you be attending the first ever Charticon in Charlotte, North Carolina? I live about an hour away from charlotte so I should definetly be going and I think it would be cool to me you guys in person. Keep up the good work guys!

Just finished listening to #63; great show and entertaining throughout.

Given all the topics you guys run through, any chance you'll be speculating further on other BotCon molds throughout the coming podcasts? Your lamenting the current crop of molds in the box set was by far the highlight for me.

Also, did any of you guys get Quakewave? Any thoughts on Terminus Hexatron and the Fansproject Not-Stunticons?

So here's one for the next episode (or the next) (or three months from now, whatevs). If it's been discussed already, just ignore it.

With the release of Encore Fort Max just days away from what I'd presume is the next recording date, several questions arise:

- Who's got one on the way?
- Did you go for an Early Air shipment option or are you at the mercy of a boat?
- Did the God Sword's inclusion make you want the toy more, or have no effect?
- I love tampos, don't you?
- If you aren't jumping on this, why? Acceptable reasons include: "No room for it", "don't collect G1", and "I just hate everything".

If you could have Encore Fortress Maximus in any of the 3 color schemes from over the years (Fort Max, Grand Max or Brave Max) and have it come with all accessories including Gasket, Grommet, Master Sword and Cerebros's Sword which would you choose and why?

What do you think about the quality vs. price in the current TF deluxes?

Example: I paid $8.99 for classics sideswipe and worth every penny solid figure, good accessories, doesn't feel cheap. I just bought FoC sideswipe for $16.99 and inferior in every way with the exception of his pathblaster gun. Poor plastic quality & deco and if they weren't going to do all re-tool work on that mold why not light pipe the eyes instead of leaving them black?

I've got one that's been bugging me for a while.

Why are people bothered by or outright hate the Aligned Continuity? Is it just a misunderstanding about it what it really is, or are there legitimate things people loathe about it?

My question(s) go to Seibertron, or anyone on the podcast who'd like to answer. What is the most unexpectedly horrible retail figure you have ever purchased?

Or alternatively: What have been the most disappointing or least impactful Botcon exclusive figures and/or sets you have purchased or have been given?

Hey guys' it's been a month, so are we getting a new episode soon? are you waiting to get your encore fort max to reveiw and discuss?


if you had to make a display and limit yourself to one of a character, across all toy lines which would be your Optimus, Megatron, Starscream, etc.?

In the latest episode, (65) you guys talked about being burned out on Movie styled figures. BUT! What if the figures are on par with the ROTF and HFTD lines? The DOTM toys were disappointing, but the previous line and a half were, I think, very well executed, with some gems coming out of them (Leader class Starscream, Hailstorm, etc). If the next films have toys to that level, would you get them? Why or why not?

Thanks!

In the two-parter, you guys talked about James Roberts writing in MTMTE, and how many of the characters could potentially be switched out in terms of dialog. I am in the same boat as Seibertron, I don't like all the snarkiness that takes place. So why did I like it in LSotW?

In other words, why did Wreckers work, when MTMTE doesn't in the same way?

Thanks and best regards!
