This week on the show, we talked about reveals ranging from Flames Toys Megatron, to MPM Starscream and we ponder the odd screaming Earthrise Starscream face. We preview tomorrow's Universal Collision episode (premiere at 7 PM EAST) - Monsters and Beasts. Finally we talk about how the world is NOT business as usual and what that means for us as collectors.

The 700th True Review is something a little different - stickers! It is not just any stickers though. We have a smattering of both Hasbro Asia and Toyhax sets this time. Admittedly, not all of these are complete sets (though some are) but they all do add something extra. As well, it seemed fitting to pay special attention to the duo of Decepticon clones Pounce and Wingspan since they are slated to soon get a 2-pack reissue.

Tonight on GotBot Goes Live we had fun talking about the most expensive figures we have and were they worth it. We talk the cancellations of SDCC, Licencing Expo and Wondercon Anaheim. We cover Transformers news from Devil Saviour, Zeta, and more. I preview tomorrow night's premiere of Universal Collision, episode 8, Overlord's Onslaught. Finally, we throw around possible names for a trio of Legends seekers I customized, who use to stand as my Rainmakers...who are they now?  

After a couple of years of being asked to do this, we embark today on part 1 of my Transformers Collection Showcase; an overall collection review, if you will. This part includes a few oddities, dvd/bluray series I own and the, what I am calling, secondary toy display.

In part 2, I move to my own collection. This covers everything from car decals, to the Covenant, to a cake topper. As for the plastic - we look at tiems from Siege Megatron,to Earthrise Starscream, and custom Liokaiser, Optimus and Deathsaurus, among others!

Gotbot Goes Live with talking Earthrise Seekers and Clones, Newage and Transform Element Skorponok news, shout outs, Toysrus and Hasbro business news, films Generation Toy Beast Wars Ultra Magnus, MP-39+ Spinout and...gravy?

In Part 3, we hit the MAIN display area and look at the first 3, lowest, shelves. These include Season 3 Autobots, Headmasters, Seekers and more!

Part 4 of my Transformers Collection Showcase focuses on the next 3 shelves of my display. These consist of, mostly, S1 and 2 Autobots, with a few others scattered through for good measure; and, a mix of combiners, a certain double agent and my custom Thunderwing, among others.

Part 5, Primes, Primus, Predacons and More!

Tonight on GotBot Goes Live we talked business, Newage Reflector, Earthrise 2-pack news and did a big ole fashioned unboxing! What a blast!

In Part 6 of the Transformers Collection Showcase we cover Predaking, Dinobots, various combiners and the majority of my Beast Wars (Be warned, Beast Wars Megatron insisted he narrate that portion himself)

In the finale of my Transformers Collection Showcase we cover the last of what I have, ranging from the smallest, with Micromasters, Prime Master Pretenders and Minibots, up to Monsterbots, to my titans!

Tonight on GotBot Goes Live we had my birthday edition and what a show it was! We talked God Neptune, Unicron Update, and all the rumors for deluxe class Siege Netflix offerings. We also talked about Iron Factory, links between the MCU and Transformers, Diaclone and Transformers and even threw in a little "ninjaing" with Starscream Wife....and bacon soda??

Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we covered several bits of Transformers news; including the recent IDW layoffs, Zeta Fort Max(...or is it Toyworld?), something I actually like about the Haslab Unicron and discuss the God Neptune comic. Additionally, we do a quick unboxing to help me complete an old custom I never quite got to finish perfectly. Finally, I give a couple brief channel updates and answer several viewer questions!

Tonight we have a very active gang in the chat for GotBot Goes Live!
