    Haven't been able to listen yet, but sounds like King Arthur's way of counting...

    Thanks, Gog. I just started it before seeing your message, then I felt like a dumbass. Haha. Oh well, I'll listen and wait patiently for #3 later on. I was so annoyed that I missed both live streams (time-zones.... ugh), so I'm glad they're finally out. I was hoping Vangelus would catch up on his sleep from Sunday night/Monday morning first, so it seems that was at least partially the case. Good to know that he didn't try to get it out straight after he got home.

    Honestly, I'm just glad Wheeljack's induction didn't do him in...

    So you want Botcon to pull an "IDW Drift"?

    I rather not go through that headache.

    They did say something like "don't oversell/overhype him", which was Drift's main problem.


    I agree with the guys though - develop the best toys possible and then develop a story should be their strategy.

    I agree that the club comic is kind of meh. Part of it for me is just because of the format. It is just too little too far apart. I always feel like I missed an issue because I don't remember everything that happened in the last one. I really wish they'd produce a collection or two.


    However I do really enjoy their online prose fiction. It is the reason why I like Shattered Glass as much as I do. Those stories have a nice lighthearted campyness to them that I enjoy.
    I haven't read them yet, but I hear the transtech ones are pretty good as well.



    Besides that, I hadn't heard that the recordicons automatically transform.
    That's pretty awesome.

    T'was trumped by the awesomeness that was the Voyager Soundwave & Legion 'Data-Disk' Minions, that's what! :D 

    Man I want that set so bad, but that Insecticon (Kickback); I too initially thought that its 'Alt' mode was just a toy that had fallen over! :tongue: 
    The Official photography has for once succeeded in doing a better job of showing it off, though it's hind-legs still look somewhat mistransformed. :rolleyes: 

    Really disappointing to hear that Garry & David's panel got dragged down to a rather low level too, do the questions actually get screened at all? :confused:

    Depth charges are just specific types of bombs designed to cripple submarines. While they're traditionally deployed from boats they have been deployed from planes in the past. So Depth Charge being a jet isn't THAT out there.

    Yeah.

    Plus, it could always be an inside joke between him & some of the other guards about how he took too long on the crapper this one time, possibly the night Rampage went crazy & killed everyone. Not sure how that'd work because the other guys would've been among the 1st to get their sparks eaten, but that's a minor detail.
