i have to admit that i have not listened to this last podcast. for me, it is not the content or the collaborators that i have a problem with. it is the medium. i believe and hope that in the future, seibertron.com will have a regular video commentary that discusses the hobby that we all love. similar to the early days of the G4 network regarding video games. however, i realize that such passionate fans, such as myself, live very far away from each other and we will simply have to wait.

I have a face made for radio. Trust me, it's better this way.

"Takera, Takara, Sorry Sabrblade." - Okay, the running gag is getting old. There's more to me than AutoCorrect.


I'm a hardcore Masterforce fan. Any info you guys need on it, I'm free to give.

Gotta stop at half-way through and go to bed. These 2+ hour long podcasts are killing me.

However, if anyone does find a way to start doing video commentary/discussion episodes, count me in! I'm no stranger to cameras, even if I don't update my youtube account nearly as often as I'd like..

Listening to the second half now.

Regarding the idea of the Japanese trying to shoehorn their dub of Animated in with their dubs of the movies, turns out it never came to pass. Aside from renaming Bulkhead "Ironhide" (and Ironhide "Armorhide"), their dub of Animated was pretty straightforward and faithful script-wise to the English version. I'm guessing that it may have been planned for them to retcon it in with the movies, but after seeing how wildly different the two were, they dropped that idea and just gave Animated a good and accurate dub to the original.

Agreed on getting the voice of WFC Bumblebee (Johnny Young Bosch) for Prime Bumblebee.

Hexatron better include Sixshot's seventh "Wingwolf" Mode.

An old 1988 toy commercial claimed that Quickswtich was Sixshot's son.

Greatshot =/= Sixshot. That was a fan rumor. Greatshot has a different history from Sixshot.

Long live Ravage the Insult Comic Bot.

That's good to know. I'm glad they didn't try to fit it in, as that would have been awful.

Agreed. 'Twould have been interesting to see how'd they weave it in, but it's definitely better like this with them separate.

Still, the Japanese did cut a few scene snippets here and there, left three episodes unaired (but were dubbed and included on their DVD releases), and added the new live action segments with the Otoboto family. Oh, and let's not forget its GORGEOUS new openings, cool new endings, and silly next-episode previews.

Loved The Episode like always (Just got to listen to it yesterday my Computers Been acting odd)

@Gojira101 aka troll guy - I thought it was a pretty great ep. I don't think we need to "loosen up." We would have to include alcoholic consumption. It was one of the most laid back episodes we have done.

@Sabrblade - Ravage lives @ http://youtube.com/ravagetheinsultcomic - new video going up today. (and I agree about the length of time just so you know.)

@Samsonator - doing my best to make it to BotCon '12 and Auto Assembly '12 next year. I will be glad to take you up on your offer.

@thunderjacker - the general belief is that more people would rather download and listen to audio either on-the-go or on some mobile device rather than watch it on a computer or smartphone. it's much more distracting to have to watch something than just listening to it and most people listen to it while driving or working. listening allows for easier multi-tasking than a video format does. personally, I'm a video guy, but even I would most likely not sit and watch any kind of program for over 2 hours. it took everything I had inside me to sit all the way through Dark of the Moon. I generally avoid 2 hour+ movies.
