    Oh, for the listener question about leader POTP, I think a deluxe sci-fi gun Megatron would be a great figure to combine with a tank to form a leader Galvatron. I know it's unlikely to happen but after having a drought of good Galvatron toys for a while I am super excited about the possibility of having a Combiner Galvatronus, voyager Titanmaster Galvatron, and a leader super mode Galvatron hanging out.

    Funny to hear you guys talk about that fake Doubledealer image, because the actual custom is gorgeous

    I dig the idea for Shockwave, my thought is instead of the senator within thing (which might not scale out) they make his head a faux titan master like Nitro Zeus, since surgery shots always have the head to the side?

    WeiJiang did do their oversized KO thing for most of the RID'15 warrior figures. They did their typical thing where the final figure quality is much better than the original including some added dicast. The Drift figure is actually one of my favorite figures of the recent days. It just feels solid and looks really nice. Here's a team pic with the Takara Prime and Grimlock with WJ Drift and regular old Hasbro Sideswipe and Strongarm. I think this scale works pretty well but Prime is still a little too big. I can't find Hasbro Bee but he's around the same size as the other warriors.

    Here's the WJ Prime with Takara Prime, he's the same size as Drift.

    To answer PajamaPrime's question, (in a perfect world) I'd love to see them do an Evolution Doubledealer. A deluxe-sized bird mode, that transforms into the Missile Carrier's missile, which combines with the main bulk to make a proper, very G1-referential robot mode.
    If failing that, take some of the heat off of Galaxy Meteror, and make an Armada/Energon-style Deluxe Starscream, that combines with a tetrajet to make a Cybertron-style Leader class Starscream, with appropriate repaints to placate TJ!

    I'm surprised no one suggest the Beast Machines baddies. Also I picked up the only AM Breakdown for 300 at TFCon DC.

    catching up with the podcast, on the wishlist of leader evolution hopefuls, if we don't get a saber to star saber I'm gonna be a bit let down with the line. I also wonder if Tak would repaint the starscream combiner into a liokaiser (again)

    (About decent Rid2015 Optimus Prime toys):
    Psssssssh, \"Only the Takara Prime and Warrior Prime,\" he says. Clearly doesn\'t remember the Power Surge Optimus Prime toy where Optimus will fly for the FIRST TIME EVER. (Sidenote: I have that toy. I love it but only because it hits my very specific aesthetic. And saddly it does not scale with anything).
