Now I want Battle Gaia FP style. Thanks Counterpunch

My wallet is crying.

Great episode and awesome points.

I do have information about Gundams having sharp points and not being blunted.

The reason being is that they are sold ad hobby products. Being a model kit, they follow different rules other than normal toys since they are not technically toys. Also, all Gundam kits are now imported and no longer have to deal with US toy safety laws.

This has got to be my favorite podcast thus far. I can't wait to hear reactions from "the soapbox" part of the show.

I lied with Time Travel in this episode.

I was expecting my RTS Windcharger to arrive by the time this aired so, I mentioned getting him because I wanted to give a shout out to the person who helped me out.

But the post office is being a bitch and I didn't get it yet. :-(

I got my notification that my 3rd party Reflector shipped from Hong Kong. I'm glad I didn't mention getting it though cuz I wouldn't have received it by the time the episode went live. LOL!

Got my Windcharger for anyone that cares. Apparently the Post Office has an indoor football league.

FINALLY! I CAN LISTEN!

Comments/Notes/Nitpicks/etc.:

I think it's kinda funny how the Prime opening says "Seibertron.com," yet Counterpunch says "Cybertron.com." :lol:

Dreadwing and Smokescreen. Smokejumper is the RiD dude.

The WFC Generations figures can go fit with the upcoming TF: Prime toys, what with them being precursors to the Prime series.

I still wish the United Stepper figure had been remolded a bit to include the same "Target On!" feature that Cyclonus's toy had (which is kinda odd considering that Cyclonus never once performed a "Target On!" process prior to that figure's release).

You know, RiD Hot Shot's got a deco that look similar to Stepper too.

Fracas = "Frack-us" not "Frayk-us" :-B

What being said about the remolding of Inferno to Grapple "Grappel" has haappened before. When the Beast Machines Strika figure was redecoed into the Universe 2003 "Nemesis Strika" figure, her torso was remolded to accomodate a new Decepticon symbol. When the toy was later released in the Beast Wars Returns (Japanese Beast machines) line, the "Vehicon Strika" figure used the same remolded torso as the Universe Nemesis Strika toy had.

What did I say about Ginrai's (Jin-rye) name before? 8-}

Lovely:

The original G1 cartoon (like many others of the time) was animated by several Asian animation studios, with Toei Animation of Japan being the most prominent. It is still and american cartoon, but the animation comes form Asia. Same goes for the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon.

The following cartoons were all animated in by Toei in Japan:

Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends
Dungeons and Dragons
The Transformers
The Transformers: The Movie
Muppet Babies
My Little Pony
Jem
The Smurfs
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 cartoon)
The Real Ghostbusters

Another Asian studio that produced G1 episodes (mostly those of seasons 3 and 4) was AKOM, which also produced:

Animaniacs
Arthur
Batman: The Animated Series (though, only 13 of its episodes)
Gargoyles
Muppet Babies
The Land Before Time (movies II through VI)
My Little Pony
Pinky and the Brain
Rescue Heroes
Robocop: The Animated Series
The Simpsons
The Simpsons Movie
Taz-Mania
The Tick
Tiny Toon Adventures
X-Men (90's cartoon)

And none of the above are considered anime.

"Predatory" to me was TF: Prime's first "quality episode". Arguably the best episode yet. blows all the previous eleven out of the water.

"Speed Metal" was fun, but not as cool as "Predatory". I did like that it gave character focus to Knock Out.

Tailgate appeared in the episode as a white and red redeco of Cliffjumper.

I'd be happy if any of the yet-to-be released figures wind up as pegwarmers, since that'll teach Hasbro and/or the stores to not keep such figures from us. :twisted:

You know, I've kinda wondered why we're called "Seibertronians" when this is "Seibertron.com" Shouldn't we ought to be called "Seibertronseijin" (singular and plural)? :-B

Great show again, guys. Keep'em coming.

Soap box moment was an instant classic.

Great insight and taste on all of the topics. Could use a different sound for the bleeps. Was sort of annoying for a bit there.

They asked for the guitar sting for Metapocolypse so that's what I dun!

I change the censor sounds every episode. This is the first episode I've been a part of that had so much to censor.

Great podcast. It was great to hear how you guys are with your kids and transformers. My children love my toys. My oldest who is almost 5 would call any action figure a transformer when she was 3. Again great podcast.
