What is your favorite non-Transformers series that involves Mecha (Voltron, Power Rangers, etc.)?

I've got an intentionally funny question that hopefully will lead to an equally hilarious conversation/response:

How would you explain Kiss Players to someone who has only basic knowledge of Transformers? To set the ground rules, they've seen the live action movies, and not much else.

Thought of a more... "feasible" question.

The Energon/Super Link anime is widely considered to be one of (if not the) least best TF cartoon series. However, since every cloud has a silver lining, is anything that occured in this cartoon that you genuinely found to be cool?


Examples (these don't need to be mentioned in the podcast if you don't want to):
  • The Optimus Supreme vs. Unicron fight
  • Inferno's internal struggle of trying not to be turned evil
  • Kicker's suit and use of weapons enabling him to take part in battles
  • A certain character's design
  • A line of dialogue
  • Optimus' combined forms
  • Shockblast in his initial appearances
  • Starscream actually being loyal to Megs (even though it was originally forced)

IF they do another train-based combiner, would you rather they used the name Raiden, Rail Racer, or a new name?

Those hands, I can't forget those silly, delicate hands. Always spinning and dancing and cutting away, spinning and dancing and crushing away, twirling and whirling and warping around and away. No escape, no escape. Every time I close my eyes they come back. Any serenity I gain is lost by their image. No escape, no escape, nothing can get me away from those dancing, enthusiastic, delicate hands and their diamond fingers.......

I am a fairly recent, casual collector of the toys. I've tried to just stick to the characters I really like, but some of the toys are just too cool to pass up.

As I ripped open a new toy the other day, my brother asked why I didn't want to keep it in the box, as it would be more valuable one day. I told my brother at the time that I really enjoy taking the toys out of the packaging and playing. But now, I've had to think about that - my conclusion, though I haven't done so yet, is to buy two. One to play with and one to save. I guess my attitude is that I'd rather be able to hold the toy than to just look at it from afar - I guess it's a matter of preference, kinda like classic car guys - some gain great joy from driving these rare machines while others prefer to keep it in the garage and look at it.

My question to you is, do you keep your toys mint in the box, or do you rip open the package to hold the toy in your hot little hands? Do you buy two? If you take it out of it's packaging, do you keep the packaging? Is the value of what it might be in the future a factor?

Thought of another one.

The AllSpark Almanac II book has been responsible for making several recent retcons to the Transformers lore. Included in these changes was the act of incorporating several non-Transformers series into the Transformers fiction.

Specifically, both the Challenge of the GoBots and Robotix series are now considered to be Transformers series, with the robot characters of each series (GoBots - Guardians & Renegades; Robotix - Protectons & Terrakors) being the iterations of the Transformers in each of those series (Gobotron is also now a form of Primus, and Robotix's Compu-Core is now a Vector Sigma node).

In addition, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Inhumanoids, Jem and the Holograms, and C.O.P.S. are all now canon to the Generation 1 Transformers cartoon continuity.

What are your thoughts and opinions about these shows and their newly-established connections to the Transformers?

Do you think they should make a complete remold of Armada Sideways and release it in Generations? (Well, at least I do.)

What do you make of the so called "Human Alliance Soundwave"

When do you think that Hasbro will release a G1 style Arcee? Sure there was Animated, but WE WANT G1!!!! :BOOM:

My Question for the group:

The Masterpiece Line has had 5 unique characters (-repaints)all from the original animated movie, Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Grimlock, and now Hot Rod. The line has been "confirmed" to be continuing (Card for future "coins" included with Rodimus), What characters would you like to see and what characters do you actually expect HasTak to make? Must be unique/new molds and no repaints! Thanks!





My personal Masterpiece list:

Want: Might actually happen:
Springer Galvatron
Cyclonus Kup
Arcee
Ultra Magnus (g1-style and no freaking repaint!)
Samurai Bludgeon
Minibot
