    MIL MUERTES!!!!!

    Yeah Lucha Underground is a pretty awesome alternative to WWE. I was skeptical in the beginning but the in-ring performances of wrestlers like Son of Havoc, The Mack, Prince Puma (Ricochet) and Johnny Mundo (Or Johnny Nitro) won me over. Its pretty entertaining if you leave out the fact that it is shot as a TV show rather than a traditional wrestling program.

    A hunter orion Sunstreaker head(only) figure would be cool.

    Best Episode picture of the decade. I haven't got to listen to it yet, but hope to on the weekend. Dia de los Muetres! So far LU season 2 is well on its way to topping season 1, at this rate I can't even imagine what season 3 will hold.

    I will fight anyone and everyone who prefers chocolate chip cookies over raisin!

    People who put out chocolate chip cookies, when everyone knows raisin are the superior choice, are just monsters :)

    I love it when my two loves are on the same podcast, (toys and wrestling) if for no other reason than it's efficient.

    Hunter O'Nion for a Sunstreaker head could be cool since that was in the comics.
    Maybe that Trypticon that won that fan vote could have Full-Tilt as some kind of "master". I think it would be an interesting take on Trypticon to do that. Or maybe Brunt could be a headmaster for Trypticon. Just a random thought.

    Alos, @Seth, I heard you mention Gundam Markers. I have never used one, I have only heard them mentioned from time to time. What are they exactly and are they easy to use? Thanks!

    I could see Brunt transforming from Tank mode, into Trypticon's dinosaur head. and Fulltilt being a Headmaster for an optional robot mode. with a vehicle included based on his car mode.

    Hunter/Sunstreaker: oh gods yes, especially if we get Machination trooper redecoes.

    I'd also like to see some non-G1 Headmasters worked into Titans Return like Armada Sideways and Overload.




    some awesome Non-Transformers Transforming robot Lines I could reccomend are:

    Bandai's Dinozaurs, be warned though, the combination of Chrome and Translucent Plastics make them super fragile.

    Takara's Webdiver, made in 2005, and centered around a unique gimmick. the big main figure Gradion, transforms into a train, and has a friggin video game built into him. all of the other toys in the line have weapon modes compatible with him, that via infared, also work as powerups in the game.

    Thought I'd add to the listener question about other transforming toylines.

    Phone Braver (K-Tai 7)
    I can't stop singing this line's praises! Lifesize phones which transform into robots and armor :)  I think the Titans Wars Buzzsaw takes a little from the Analyzer toy. Half the line is super cheap; half is rather expensive :( 

    Brave
    Heck yes! I'd love more Masterpiece Brave, but the original DX toys are great. You NEED a Great Ganbaruger and Pegasus Saber if you enjoy chunky combining robots. Come join us :)  http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/toyark/98174-brave.html

    Webdiver and Daigunder
    Made by Takara and rather unique. I really dig these figures, but they certainly aren't for everyone.

    I love the Mil Muertes reference!

    If you even remotely like wrestling, check out Lucha Underground.
    It's something fresh compared to WWE

    With the new Wheelie being Titan Master compatible, it would feel like a huge wasted opportunity if they didn't do Arcee with Titan Master Daniel.

    Also would be cool to see Ultra Magnus with Verity, Thundercracker with Buster the dog, Tracks with Raoul, and just to tick tons of American fans off TakaraTOMY should make Autotrooper with Atari.

    Regarding Apeface, I personally think it would be pretty weird if Hasbro came up with that triple-changing voyager price point for Titans Return without the intention of making either of the Horrorcons.

    I'd be down for a Titans Return Brawl with B.O.T. as his headmaster.

    And a functional damn waist.

    Couple of ideas for the headmaster question:
    Quintessons! - All five different heads/faces from five faces of darkness with a Quintesson body - the whole head/face/titanmaster swapping gimmick would be pretty cool and it would be amazing to get a box set with the one body and five heads.
    Sharkticon body - skuxxoid head/titanmaster

    Sari from Animated would make an interesting Headmaster/Titanmaster/Transtector. Like Lugnut and split persona Blitzwing, I think its about time Sari and Isaac Sumdac be folded into the larger TF continuity.

    For the villains I could see Circuit Breaker being re-imagined into a Titanmaster.

    And who can forget everyone's favorite: Kicker!

    YES! Lucha Underground is fantastic! I'll be honest, it took me a few episodes to get hooked, I wasn't into the way they did story telling through vignettes, but now it's grown on me. I think because they're working in seasons instead of 52 weekly episodes with no off season it works, but if they went to the same schedule as WWE, TNA, ROH, etc, I think it wouldn't work the same. Sometimes the stories are a bit silly, but they also do some really clever things.

    I've been able to work with Marty the Moth a few times at an indy company I ref for, and he's a super cool guy. Very knowledgeable, despite not being in the business for that long. Hopefully I'll get to work with him more at some upcoming shows. Glad you've found a piece of wrestling you can enjoy.

    Wow, Lumpy, you are in the Indy Wrestling scene? Must be pretty hectic.

    They are basically paint pens. A way to paint a figure or model without brushes. You should be able to find non-Gundam branded paint pens are hobby/ art supply/ craft stores.

    I would say they are easy to use if you aren't accustomed to painting with brushes. Especially if you are going panel linings.
