So while Lambo may be a subsidiary of those companies, they at least don't have any connection to WWII or Nazis. If you buy into that, then we might not be any closer to licensed MP Bumblebee or Jazz.

I think it's all just hearsay that's been repeated throughout the fandom so many times that fans just assume it's fact. If someone can point me to an official statement by Hasbro, VW, or Porsche I'd be very appreciative of seeing some factual statements instead of rumors and hearsay.

Yeah, don't know if it's factual, but if it is true, this reason seems to carry more weight than VW and Porsche don't want to be associated with warbots just because.

xyl360 wrote:Also, one negative comment. Ryan, I LOVE your site and I LOVE the podcast, but often times your voice is way too loud. It may be just your mic or something, I'm not sure, but when you raise your voice during the podcast it's blaringly loud and you can tell that it redlines the mic input because it takes on almost a static/white noise quality to it. That makes it very difficult to listen to the podcast with headphones as it honestly hurts my ears. Nothing against you at all, I'm just being honest.

Is my voice still hella-sexy?

Oh BTW, Razorclaw, you forgot to drop a few SQUUUEEEE!s to go along with your SU&TMMs...

By the way ... the title is my fault. Couldn't come up with a unique title, so I came up with something that had absolutely nothing to do with the episode. Title is from Marvel's Transformers #48.

Oh snap, I got mentioned. Cool!

Another good episode, I'll get on itunes later and throw a review in there. Don't have it installed at work.

And dang Ryan, where'd you find that Dark Fang Wolf for $45? I impulse bought mine from TF Source for $60 and that's the cheapest I'd seen one in a minute.

Just one of my saved searches on eBay ... no one outbid me, got it for an amount that I was interested in. Had no idea it got blown out 5 years or so ago, but it wasn't really something I was interested in back then. Slowly making my way through the Unicron Trilogy picking up variants and recolored exclusives. Galaxy Force DVD Excellion and Chromia/Minerva are at the top of my list if I can find them for around $50 each MIB (and yes, they go for that amount ... just have to know where to find them).

We both still need the same Galaxy Force exclusives ;_; I can see some ebay battles in the future.

And I remember Dark Fang Wolf getting positively blown out price wise back in the day, I just never had any interest in it then. How times have changed.

When speaking of how FOC Cliffjumper has Prime Cliffjumper's head design, someone mentioned a "combined continuity between all the shows". That's not what the Aligned Continuity is. It's a new continuity containing a mixture of elements and pieces taken from every pre-2010 Transformers series, rather than a mixture of entire series together.

The Super Link Misha figure that you guys were talking about was a 3rd party product. It wasn't made by Takara or Hasbro or any official company, but it did show up at that one Wonderfest like you guys said.

EDIT: Also, Ryan, what you said about Deszaras is true. He wasn't in Zone. But, you say he's pictured on a card that came with the tape? That's odd. Can you post a pic of it?
