Twincast / Podcast Episode #220 "Classically Trained"

I removed most of the "bird poop" off of WFC Megatron and Optimus but it didn't bother me on the wave 1 deluxe's or Leader class figures.

Wave 2 Soundwave's "weathering" doesn't bother me much either (it still would've been better w/o it). But the only reason I haven't started working on Starscream's which is terrible is because I might be replacing him with the rumored Starscream with pin's in the chest.

I don't like the fake Null Rays (just gray riffles) either, so I replaced them with Classics Starscream's which IMO makes Siege Starscream look much better. They're a little loose but clear nail polish takes care of that.

I only pre-ordered Prowl because Hasbro-Pulse was selling him for $10.00. If not for that then CW Prowl would've remained my go to Prowl due to his height. Siege Prowl should be taller considering his rank in the latest comics. Since he isn't then I'll just demote him out of OP's top 5.

CW Bumblebee will never be more than a Scout who can't even beat Ravage.

Wait, is it possible that my recent post in a CHUG Appreciation thread on another site last Weds inspire some of you guys to bring up Classics Devy (or reminisce on Classics in general)?



I had mentioned being so happy with grabbing the last set of these at a TRU that was no where near where I lived at the time and how I feel about these "Constructicon's" now.

^If it was on another site then nah, but there's been a lot of feedback after our MP discussions last year about Classics so very possible your posts here said something at some point to help it along

For folks that have listened to the episode, remember Counterpunch's small quip about Ronda Rousey? Well, last night on Monday Night Raw something close to that actually occurred:

I have a theory that the more in-depth we try to talk about something, the less people feel interested in contributing here.

Finally remembering to post here.

I really enjoy the classics retrospective!

I was hoping it would go more towards the MP style, with a general overview following by the breaking up into the stages of the era. The 3 Podcasts I listen to the most are the MP retro first overview with Scotty and Counterpunch, and then the super car era and the Prowl datsun era. I love those 3.

I would love a solid 2 hours of Classics, with some intense focus on some molds and all their various uses. It is such a cool topic, and I only ever got into it during Thrilling 30, so I want to hear more about the previous era. I wouldn't mind some more focus on the Universe lines either prior to Classics proper
