    WTF @ TFW - 463 - June 6 2017

    [​IMG]

    Seth and Vangelus talk loads of Transformers, from SDCC to Trans5mers hopes, and from Tokyo Toy Show news to Listener Q's. And then a smattering of on-topic What We Gots! This totally excuses the 20 minutes of Overwatch chatter at the end. We checked with a lawyer.

    - Opening
    - Intro
    - Listener Question from CaptainSlowBro
    - Tokyo Toy Show Waits A Day To Spurn Episode 462
    - Listener Question from primestudio
    - Listener Question from Todd Hakusho McMalwave
    - What We Got This Week
    - Ending and Outro

    Okay, everyone keeps talking about EID Blurr. Isn't he just a slightly modified TF Prime Wheeljack?

    I completely missed the thing about the SDCC Optimus coming with a piece of a tire.

    I dunno about the cartoon model, but the toy's doing its own thing

    It's a new mold, but the transformation does ring similar, at least to me.

    II think the cartoon model is even further from Wheeljack than the toy is.

    I was one of the lucky ones to get Ilgarr and Pixxus in that Mythic Legions sale. They were the only ones I wanted, so I had both of their webpages open in separate tabs so I could have both added to my cart at the same time, rather than going back and finding one after adding the other. It still went pretty slow, so I'm amazed I got 'em.

    My assumption for the SDCC set is that the Optimus truck blew out a tire at some point during filming and someone looked at the scraps and said "you know, I bet we could get some nerds to fork over money for this."

    Also, any time you want to devote this much time to talking Overwatch is more than fine by me.

    Dear Vangelus and crew, now that the Autobots are blatantly scum, what would you say if a few movies later we found out the movies was a version of shattered glass the whole time?
