I wonder if the Marvel Apocalypse figure that Vangelus saw and thought was surprisingly small wasn't the BAF but the single release figure (that was a fat looking single carded figure from a few years prior to the BAF). The actual BAF Apocalypse was incredibly big - easily the same size as the Sentinel and Galactus.

 

Hey Fellas, I think I have a good contender for a Transformers Build-a-Figure for you:

Autobot X/Autobot Spike

I think he checks all the necessary boxes:

-doesn't transform, doesn't need to... Could just be an articulated action figure
-is already described as a Frankenstein's monster made of spare parts, which seems perfect for a BAF
-too obscure/niche to warrant his own figure

As a bonus, he gives people a way to have Spike in their Classics/Generations collection (which is presumably the line best suited to a BAF).

Come to think of it, an Autobot X Hero Masher could work too, since HM's are sort of like BAF's that just come packaged in their combined forms.

Anyhow, that's all. I don't think I've actually commented in a podcast thread before, so I should also probably say how much I thoroughly enjoy the podcast. It's one of my go-to podcasts for commuting, you guys make it consistently entertaining.

 

Angela won the Marvel legends poll

 

No one's mentioned it so I feel the need to point out: there was a Transformers BAF. The Beast Wars 10th Anniversary Trans-Mutate.

That whole No Strings on me, I don't get it. How can that be his catchphrase?

 

It's a quote ultron uses in age of ultron. He describes the avengers as "puppets" who just want to keep the world the way it is. He sees himself above that so according to him "there are no strings on me"

 

I've played Elsword and it is free to play through Steam

 

Seth You should check out the Joe 50th+1 line. I'd say pass on Spirit and Storm Shadow, but the Shipwreck/CC set is really good and the Zartan from the 3 pack looks incredible.
