Episode #210 "Super Cars" is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
Here's what we talk about during this episode:
- We start things out with none other than MP-10 Convoy, and immediately jump in to comparisons with Hasbro's Masterpiece Optimus Prime. A full comparison of the various "standard" decos is available at this link.
- Black Convoy starts out the repaint talk, which features us just nearly forgetting about Platinum Edition Year of the Horse Optimus Prime!
- Even the odder repaints get talked about, along with the appeal of such non-standard pieces and where they fit in collections. BAPE, the Evangelion Crossover, and the recent 7-11 Convoy all get a look. And what's all this about a trailer?
- After an hour on the least car-like Autobot of the "Super Car" era, we finally move on to the toy that launched a revolution, MP-12 Lambor, more commonly known as Sideswipe.
- The retooled follow-up MP-14 Red Alert comes next in the discussion, and even includes some inaccurate speculation on the face designs from yours truly - see if you can find where I'm wrong and post the evidence of why by replying to this post. The truth is out there.
- 8 versions of the Lamborghini Countach Masterpiece mold have been released in total, and we look at all of them, from TF Expo Lambor, to Diaclone-like Clampdown and Tigertrack, on to G2 Sideswipe, then wrapping up with a quick look at the recent "+" versions of Sideswipe and Red Alert.
- We finish up with short bragging rights and leave the recording going into some tired rambling about not much at all.
Stay tuned to future episodes for more Masterpiece retrospectives, as well as focused talk on the IDW comics as they wrap up their continuity.
