Whats this? I'm listening ON TIME????!!!
Bumblebee movie: Holding my judgement, but cautiously optimistic. Remember when we got the teaser for TF1 and its the Blackout scene and everyone was like OMG YES THIs and then we got... Sam... and hjis parents... BUT THEN WE GOT BUMBLEBEE vs. BARRICADE and that was cool... and then we got more Sam... Yeah, waiting for the whole movie.
Yes, you will care about canon in the end. Its hard to think so now, but #214 or whatever you'll be sitting there reviewing the movie going "but that doesnt make any sense! How did blah balah blah get from there to here?" And poor Sabr's head will explode.
Can wee maybe get a sane S7 agent please? I feel like that whole organization could have been a lot more intimidating if we'd gotten less Simmons and more of the guy who came into the Defense Secretary's office.
Agreed with the Club's butchering of the Singularity Mythos. But (a small) part of me is glad they had the cajones to come up and cut everything apart and make it all different, it frees up narrative options down the road. Course, the flip side is that means a writer is more free to make Primus and Unicron these different things, so maybe thats not so good.
I too love the Energon Megatron from Black Shadow, but I think my favorites conceptually were the ones using the TR figures as ActionMaster accesory vehicles and such. To me, that just felt like the Club took the idea of the TR set Hasbro had and really took it to the next level. I can safely say I really wanted all of those. (And they did say in those releases that only some of those would have been made, the others were alternate designs if Hasbro said "No")
PR: Does this mean that Hasbro is designwing the Zords? If so, I think I for one would be excited about that. There have been some neat Zord concepts that are just giant blocky toys, and given the Hasbro combiner tech using CW/POTP ports, or the Devastator engineering (and even some of Predaking, the giant robot ponytails on Rampage and Tantrum aside) could be good for the brand, but is that their call or is the physical design still being handled by Bandai for the toys?
This makes me go back to the Hasbro/Disney talks, is Disney just sitting there waiting to see how many properties Hasbro can gobble up before they go and make that offer again?
Question: Is Lego on the decline because they are actually in trouble, or did they just get too bloated and they are simply dropping to a sustainable, more realistic volume?
I got the Sun Zord? Train dude, the cars have openings that Minicons can ride in.
Disney is at this point almost an investment firm. Like the ESPN stuff have they even done anything to cvhange ESPN? They are more or less just sitting back and letting them do what they do and counting the dividends, right?
At some point, anti-trust laws are gonna kick in and these other little IP rights companies are gonna start complaining becauswe they are trying to market their satuff to such a diverse giant portfolio. Hasbro/Disney could be the straw that breaks the camels back. Not to mention, I could totally see a TV channel like Nickelodeon objecting, because Hasbro/Disney could just drop so many name brand properties into Disney Channel and be done with it, or demand exorbinant prices for all these top shelf titles. I could totaly see this being the straw that breaks the camel's back, so to speak.
We are the Mouse. Your Intellectual and Entertainment Values will be added to our own. Resistance is Futile.
Originally, Disney had/has their own streaming network. Hulu just added a varient platform. Frankly, I am waiting on a Fall from Grace for Netflix. When Netflix got big, no one wanted to do Streaming, they all wanted to focus on their Nielson ratings and TV stuff, so they contracted everything out to Netflix. But now they have all seen the writing on the wall, and they are favoring the Online outlets as much as their TV stuff or ebven developing their own TV shows for online exclusivity. CBS, CW, ABC all have stuff online. CBS has their All Access, CW has the CW Seed for their old shows and stuff they now own IP for, and new stuff that maybe they dont feel would do well enough on Primetime but they want to develop. Where is this going to leave Netflix in the not too distant future

I would love to see a Transformers/Netflix Voltron crossover. Given sheer scale of Voltron and the monsters, (the lions themselves are big enough to carry vehicles inside, then you start stacking them up) and the sheer volume of the Galra empire, the Transformers would be hard pressed to keep up. Given the right cast of Autobots you could make a compelling story. Not to mention that while "Magic" is a hard thing to keep realistic and grounded, I could believe that the Transdformers could be suspetible to something like who Voltron handles it.
A Skynet Transformers crossover would be... M.E.C.H.
I have thought about a TF/Borg Crossover and I come out with two answers. On the one hand, given that the Transformers are living MACHINES, assimilation could be really easy fior the Borg. On the other hand, the Transformers are LIVING Machines, and I imagine their own bodies are riddled with the same kind of the Nanotech the Borg are using, and an assimilation could end up being this prolonged infection that ends up incapaciting both partiesplus, I just have a hard time with properties that say "Oh, well Cybertronians are just like Robots", when given the nature of Sparks they are more or Energy beings living in mechanical vessels.
Crazy thought: What if the Borg are a leftover of a Scorponokesque pre Nebulan Headmaster program? Discrded transformer/organic hybrid that no one thought would be a problem?
Aaaannnndddd Todd takes my answer. GET YOUR OWN.
I think Voltron would be roughly 2 to three times Devvy's size.
RE: Quintessence. In the Netflix cartoon, the Quintessence is a transdimenential metal, but I could see it an Alt- Universe equivalent of Energon.

"Cooking with Grimlock..."
The UW Technobots were making goodies for Fathers Day with th e daughter of Marissa and the Con man from G1.
Wasn't there an actual Galley Chef transformer on one of those second string storylines?
Got it:
Spin Out.
Obvious answer: Krok the SOCCER STAR.
I totally think Volcanicus could be GREAT in the NBA, given his long lanky limbs

G1 MEGATRON could do it in OUR elections, who are you kidding? He'd get the NRA backing and just sweep. I want a Meme of megatron in front of some Pro-Gun guys going "See Optimus Prime? You've got it all wrong. I don't kill people"
(Disclaimer: This is a joke, I am a supporter of the 2nd Amendment, don't lambast me)

RID Bumblebee as a Pokemon Go Player, but onlyin the first few weeks. After Niantic released the Speed Cap he is terminally plagued by "You're Going to fast"
I feel like given enough time someone on the Ark would have a HUGE model train layout. Maybe Perceptor, I could see him bing super anal about detail accuracy.
Here's a thought on Shcokwave: What if he dermined Logically, that in order to sell himself as Onyx Prime, he nneded the emotional side. Just as Onyx is a facade in its own right, Shockwave has brought his emotions forward as part of the character he is playing, and maybe at some point in 12 million years the two have finally blurred together?
Remember that in Spotlight Shockwave, we got a taste of Shockwave with Emotions and he went full on savage kill em all murdernuts on the Dinobots for a minute.
I think you guys did a couple of uncounted bonus episodes, that were mostly interview esque shows. Still, exciting to see you guys have gotten so far.
