Haven't listened yet, but I've got something to chime in about. This is a heads up, as, in the Rescue Bots conversation, I was suggested to, if I were to ever do a review(s) of the series, let someone know and maybe get it news'd. Well, I have decided that I will indeed do an editorial/review of the show in the near future, so stay tuned for things to come.

In the meantime, I think I'll listen to the podcast in the morning. It's late here. I-)

just got to the part about gimmicks and the Headmaster/Powermaster/Targetmaster combo. It reminded me how back when Ultimate Optimus Prime was released I was thinking the REAL Ultimate Optimus Prime would be an updated version of Powermaster Prime who's also a Headmaster and both small robots could transform into Targetmaster guns when he's not combined with the trailer. No Pretender shell in that concept but close enough ;)

I found that 'Jungle' store you keep mentioning in the podcast. I could not believe my eyes when I found a MIB Beast Wars Neo Killer Punch for 3,150 Yen (approximately $40 US). I already have one, but I had to snatch up an extra at that price, he's just way too hard to find these days. I grabbed a couple of other Japanese Beast Wars figures I'd been hunting for as well (Hellscream and Drill Nuts) all for far less than I've seen them go for on ebay.

Very cool :)!

edit: By the way, Ryan, whatever you're doing with your mic, it is working. No issues with the volume of your voice at all this time :D!

Listening now.

In regards to redecoing Thundertron, TakaraTomy is going to release him (and quite possbly redeco him) as Leo Prime instead of Thundertron.

Whoa! :shock: I just noticed something about Ultra Magnus! When you guys were talking about how broad his Vehicle Mode is, I took a look at it myself and saw something. Is that an... Arms Micron port on the truck's side?!!! In a Hasbro toy pic?!!! :shock:

ジンライ = "Jinrai" (but officially spelled "Ginrai").

Totally agree on the Armada Jetfire redecoed/remolded as Galaxy Shuttle. ;)^

In fact, I loved this whole "missed opportunity redeco ideas" segment. You guys should do it again when you think of more ideas later. :D

My redeco/remold ideas
Dawn of Future's Past redeco ideas me and a friend of mine came up with:

Terrorsaur - Energon Skyblast
Scorponok - Energon Scorponok (NOT Cybertron Shortround)
Tarantulas - Cybertron Unicron or Cybertron Scrapmetal
Blackarachnia - Cybertron Thunderblast (maybe? :???: )
Inferno - Energon Bulkhead
Silverbolt - Cybertron Snarl
Quickstrike - Energon Signal Flare
Magmatron - Armada Tidal Wave
Big Convoy - Cybertron Optimus Prime
BWII Galvatron - Cybertron Megatron
God Neptune - a combination of the following
* Halfshell - Energon Barricade
* Sea Phantom - Energon Blackout/Stormcloud
* Terrormander - Energon Terradive/Sky Shadow
* Scylla - Energon Windrazor/Treadshot
* Coelagon - Energon Bonecrusher/Sledge
Motorarm - Energon Insecticon
Cryotek - Energon Shockblast
Onyx Primal - Cybertron Sideways
Protoform X - currently, we've narrowed it down to 2010 Voyager Sea Spray, but I'm keeping an eye out for better ideas

Also, we're both in agreement that the Cybertron Override mold would have been a better choice for Cheetor and Tigatron than the Clocker mold. (wouldn't even have needed a new head). And I say give the Clocker mold to Rattrap.


As for a non-DoFP redeco, Titanium 6" The Fallen as IDW pre-Earth G1 Megatron.


In regards to FOC Bruticus, I kinda wish Vortex could become his Jet Mode and Brawl his Battle Platform Mode, in addition their Vehicle, Robot, and Limb Modes.

Gotta pause from listening for the moment since I got to go out for a while. I'll be back to finish listening later. Pretty good show so far. :APPLAUSE:

Weapon: Battle Blades
Molds that needs to be repainted into anything: Cybertron Menasor and Metroplex

Obviously Menasor is an easier choice, as big as Metroplex is.

I know Archer hates the mold, but maybe TFCC could step up to the plate on that one.

re: my question. Positive responses are fine and dandy, I just find SU&TMM overused and unoriginal...it was kinda funny the first 500 times, but the last 3000+, not so much. I'm all for creative and/or amusing ways to give a fig props (or even rip it,) but I'm just bored with SU&TMM. It's like the oldsters that think dropping a 'NOT!' at the end of their sarcastic comment is still fresh 25 years later. SQUEEE! on the other hand...I just picture a grown man or teenage kid making that noise and find it utterly pansyrific. But maybe that's the 'appeal', I dunno.

I appreciated Sabrblade's passion for Rescue Bots. As a matter of fact I started watching it last night and I have to say...five minutes in and I was sold.
