'Twincast Episode #23: Twincast Q&A' Now Available for Download

"You get a Primus, and you get a Primus, and you get a Primus!"
"I already got a Primus..."
"Shut up!"

Water out my nose, another great podcast.

I've listened to the podcast before once or twice. You do a very good job with it.

I attribute any weirdness in my voice to the awesome "summer cold" I was starting to come down with the night we recorded. Nothing like having a head cold when it's 105 outside.

Duque I'm thrilled you vouched for the quality of the iGear Ramjet, I completely agree with everything you said about him! HE HAS DIECAST, PEOPLE! DIECAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another great cast guys, really eenjoying these!

PS Counterpunch, did you at one point mention a Henkei exclusive gun for Hound?

Oh, I forgot I asked that question (the first one you guys chose). I wrote that back when I was trying to get my project noticed, and it eventually was noticed (thank you, Tigertracks 24 ), so I guess I really didn't need to ask that question.

RiD FTW! I loved that show just as much as Beast Machines! They're both tied as my fourth favorite series.

Mind if I throw in my two cnets of some of these Q's too?

The new MP-10 Convoy looks to be the G1 Optimus Prime that I have wanted and waited for ever since I first discovered G1. Of the four MPs I own (all Hasbro ones), I'd have to agree on Grimlock being the best executed. As for who I'd like to see Masterpieced, either Ginrai or Metalhawk.

Admittedly enough, Scrounge is indeed a more dignified choice than Erector, as Scrounge actually did something and had sacrifice that was both noble and tragic.

Always on display for me is my MISC Wal-Mart Exclusive Transmetal Rattrap, along with a few of Alternators, reissue G1 Ultra Magnus, reissue G1 Powermaster OP w/ Apex Armor, MP Skywarp, and some odd Classics/Generations molds. And standing next to them all are my old Voltron combiner figure and my MMPR 2010 Dino Megazord combiner figure.

For me, FIRRIB/RIRFIB all depends on which medium it is. G1 cartoon has FIRRIB so I go by that when viewing that. G1 toys and comics have RIRFIB so I go by that when dealing with those. There's no wrong or right answer to me, it's all just different interpretations from each medium's perspective.

Music Label Soundwave is my Classics/Generations Soundwave.

I got a Primus.

"Anything you can do me can do better. Me can do anything better than you." - I LOVED this song! Ever since I first heard that both Gregg Berger and David Kaye were gonna be at BotCon, I SO wanted their too Grimlocks to get into an argument of some kind, and this song was more than I could have asked for!

Only twenty Classics Seekers? I'm almost tempted to count them all (again).

Animated Toxitron is adorable.

...

I saw "Alternity Backstop Saidos" at Big Lots about a week ago. Didn't have the spare cash for it, though.

Beast Wars Destron X? Who?


Hey, I'm an admin of Unicron.com. I work with the Lukis Bros on that site very actively. If you want, I could talk to the bros to see if any of them would be willing to come on a later podcast?

I have to comment on the Botcon figures pic.

Separately, they're fine. Toss 'em together like in the pic, and well...egads that is one ugly lookin' group.

I never realized how terrible some of those color schemes were until now.

Toxitron especially. *le barf

Thumbs up to Razorclaw with his friends and networking comments. All of that has helped me immensely this past year with so much being difficult for me to find on shelves. I'm glad that people seem to like me, otherwise I'd be screwed.

I don't think so... Maybe? I use one of the guns from the G3 trailer with him.

You're right about the group shot. Toxitron is really strong by himself though. The details in his chest window pop majorly with the clear red plastic.

Another great Twincast, guys! You've become my default audio track while I stock the walk-in cooler at work. As I've said before you guys always seem to represent a really great cross-section of the fandom in general with your opinions on various topics, and it's always great to hear people who have some idea what they're talking about (since I just don't get that where I live). Also, when hilarity ensues, and it does so frequently, I'm often laughing my ass off for the better part of the night. (examples from past 'casts include: The entire Metroplex to G2 'Phillip' repaint idea, CP's opinion of DOTM deluxe Prime "...man, f**k that toy.", The saga of the eBay Kingbolt, or from this episode, the Counterpunching of nearly everyone into buying that Primus) There's really too many good things to say about the show you guys put on for us, but I don't want to sound too much like I'm kissing asses around here, so I'll just leave it at that.

You're a good guy, Flux! I'm honored to be your friend. If that sounds cheesy to anyone else, too bad.

Thanks dude. Hearing that these recordings help people through their day is a big complement.

Thanks for asking/answering my questions!

I guess I should have clarified more on the RTS question. I guess what I was asking was why Hasbro claimed the RTS line didn't do as well. I actually grabbed a Tracks while I was at Camp Lejeune in April, and his rub-sign is actually on straight. Again, thanks for answering my questions!

Another stellar job. Next time I'll get my 20 questions posted a little earlier so they can actually be used.

Wow! I'm really surprised at the large response this episode has gotten! Thanks, guys! It really means a lot to us! Guess we're going to have to work even harder to make the show even BETTER!

It doesn't sound cheesy at all.

I can relate. I usually listen to these during my first how of work. While everyone in the office are wasting time with idle chitchat, the podcast blasting from my iPod Touch makes it difficult for them to concentrate on their conversations as they are trying to figure out what I'm listening to. I find myself talking along as if I was part of the discussion as well. That really puzzles them as well.

You guys still interested in getting any of the Lukis Bros. from Unicron.com to come on to a later podcast?

It was so cool to hear you guy talking my name and awesering my questions,again.

Agreed, I've met people at these conventions that are not only my collecting peers but the vast majority, I am proud to call my friends. Botcon truly is your best bet for networking with people from all over the world who can and will gladly help out for most of your collecting needs. Not to mention making friends and having a great time in general. Nearly everyone, if not everyone, on the podcast are people I've talked with for years on this site or have had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with. It's those peers and the obvious camaraderie that help me enjoy the show so much. Jon's no slouch either.

You too, huh? Glad to hear it's not just me.

It's always nice to actually hear discussions like this since in my area, fans are few and far between and I'm the most knowledgeable person within about 400km (roughly 250 miles) of my location.
