No special way at all. If it works in iTunes on other platforms, it should be working on your iPhone. Can you go directly to the following URL on your phone and then try to subscribe to the feed once the URL pulls up in iTunes?

Great show guys!

And harsh language? There's always been harsh language in this podcast, as well as references to adult topics or humor, including this current episode. I heard ****, bitch, the f-bomb, plus someone mentioning a sex toy and rape at various points. If you're going to apologize for harsh language in one segment, you need to be more consistent with your content through the rest of your podcast.

Sabrblade wrote:Someone mentioned something about the recent IDW reprints of the Marvel G1 comics.
In 2008, there was a series of Marvel G1 comic reprints from IDW, which featured certain issues omitted due to characters like Circuit Breaker ans Spider-Man appearing in them. But, by the fifth volume IDW got permission to reprint issues that contain Marvel characters and so stopped omitting issues.
In 2011, IDW launched a second series of reprints that put back in all the missing issues from before, as well as featuring remastered artwork. This series of reprints is still being released, having had two volumes released thus far, with a third one on the way.
Here's the first run reprints on Amazon:
1. http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Transform ... 492&sr=1-8
2. http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Transform ... 92&sr=1-12
3. http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Transform ... 492&sr=1-7
4. http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Transform ... 92&sr=1-11
5. http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Transform ... 92&sr=1-10
6. http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Transform ... 492&sr=1-9
Here's the current second run of reprints that include all the missing issues:
1. http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Clas ... 492&sr=1-1
2. http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Clas ... 492&sr=1-3
3. http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Clas ... 492&sr=1-2
In addition, IDW is giving the Marvel UK G1 comics this same treatment, and THEN SOME! I got the first volume and, HOLY COW, this trade paperback release is AWESOME! They jam packed this thing with a TON of awesome material, not limiting itself to just the comics. It's even got the Annuals! Ryan, if you really liked the Marvel UK stuff, then this series of reprints is a MUST BUY for you. I cannot recommend it enough!
Like above, Amazon links:
1. http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Clas ... 492&sr=1-5
2. http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Clas ... 492&sr=1-4
3. http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Clas ... 492&sr=1-6
Sadly, it's just the UK content without the UK versions of the U.S. issues. I can understand the redundancy in including the UK versions of the U.S. issues when the U.s. issues themselves have their own reprint series going on, but several of the U.S. issues had their content edited when released in the UK (some speech bubbles rephrased, characters removed from background shots, images recolored to look different and/or correct art errors, etc.) soas to better fit the UK comic story.Seibertron wrote:I ordered the new IDW Marvel US reprints a couple of days ago. Per your links above, I ordered the Marvel UK reprints. Is IDW going to reprint the Marvel UK books with the Marvel US books or are they leaving those out and only reprinting the original UK content?
Thanks for the links!

Fun Publications was upset about our use of "vulgar" language during our discussion about recent events. While I feel that fans affected by what happened earlier this year have the right to be angry, frustrated, and upset, I do not wish for Seibertron.com to be on bad terms with them especially with BotCon around the corner and a ton of BotCon content coming out of this site over the course of the next month.
Some of you will disagree with this approach and with my efforts to make amends with Fun Publications. I felt this apology was necessary in order to make sure that we're able to easily provide you with content of interest pertaining to both the Transformers Collectors' Club and Botcon. For the time being, Fun Publications is in charge of the Club and the official convention and Seibertron.com has to be able to coexist with them.
Being at extreme ends with them will only detract from opportunities for Seibertron.com to provide all of you with content of interest, which I feel is one of my greatest responsibilities with this site. None of us can change what happened, we can only figure out how to move forward. I'm doing my best to make sure that all opportunities are available for Seibertron.com so that I can accomplish that.
The tone of our podcast will not be changing. The Podcast staff, and the general staff on Seibertron.com, will always be able to speak their minds freely. This site is, first and foremost, an ENTERTAINMENT website for fans to enjoy.

Gotta jet ... Muppets is on, time to grab some popcorn.

Jon got Victor Caroli to do it.
Seibertron.com will continue to be a very vocal voice for fans. That's my style. I've worked my ass off on this site for 12 years and I will continue to use this site to express the views of those who are often overlooked and not heard. I won't let us be silenced.
KenjaminLinus wrote:I have to say...the apology at the end really did piss me off too. I understand you want to maintain good relations to keep news flowing, etc, that is admirable. I just seriously had a hard time listening to what can be considered akin to groveling to this **** "company" that has been screwing fans over for years. Even Fun Pub's most recent statement was some pass-the-buck BULLSHIT, and I could honestly barely make it through listening to the entire statement recanting what are indisputably justifiable opinions/feelings. I hate coming off like I'm speaking ill of you, I **** love you guys and your podcasts.
KenjaminLinus wrote:In that previous podcast where Counter Punch flat out said **** you fun publications", I let out a resounding **** YEAH, THANK YOU". I felt like you guys spoke on behalf of the fans, completely embodying this statement. The apology, however, just really contradicts this to me. You WERE speaking for all the fans. FunPub has not taken responsibility for a goddamn thing, and I don't think they ever will.
KenjaminLinus wrote:It is your site and I absolutely respect your efforts to maintain bridges that keep the news flowing, but I personally really would have liked to see you stick to your guns and let funpub sleep in the bed they have made, consequences be damned. We all did our part to stop SOPA and PIPA, I don't see why we shouldn't be just as united in opposition of a company that has done us ALL wrong for years.
KenjaminLinus wrote:Sorry for the rant, still love you dudes and your banter.
The general fan community appears to be moving on and so must we. I can't spend any more time or energy on this issue that is out of my control. We've said what's on our minds. Now it's time to let the dust settle to see where all the pieces lie.
