    In before Carmen Electra!

    Okay, for the last time, cause I called the new toy being Cybertronian Ratchet when it first showed up, NO ACTIVATOR HAS TRANSLUCENT PLASTIC! He shows no gears, no springs, and has lots of obvious manual transformation... and there's a listing for a new deluxe Ratchet! STOP MISINFORMING THE PUBLIC!

    In response to Vangelus's pic pick - is that how you pronounce "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ?

    Man, why people gotta be hating on Animated Botanica? Though maybe I just have a soft spot for giant metal transforming wimminz.

    Speaaking of JLU getting stuff after the show ending, that series is STILL getting toys. Granted making a new JLU figure is easier than making a Transformer for obvious reasons, but it still commanded decent amounts of shelf-space for a long time. That... means something...?

    In 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra', The Doctor gets shot in the face, and the ROTF The Doctor crawls out of the Pretender-shell-body. U HERD IT HEAR PHURST

    Oh, and for April Fool's the podcast should have gone in reverse order! Started with the outro, and ending on the intro, with everything flipped in the middle. Though the Exiting the Spoiler Section part might have been problematic. "If your future viewing experience of Revenge of the Fallen would be ruined by spoilers, you shouldn't have listened to the previous thirty minutes!"

    Intermission guy needs more love and I want to hear more about his dependents. (Was so bloody funny). Also its cool how despite not doing a cross over we do it in a more suttle way by both telling the same story from one of our prolonged chat sessions. I love Star Saber in space...should be the name of a series lol

    I liked Energon Rodimus. Rocket truck and flippy jet fists.


    I loved Animated Botanica, too. :(

    I got Blurr and Purple Shockwave this week too. (ON SALE!) Ah ha ha. If you had only waited a couple days... 14 dollars for both at Target. :rock 

    There was one Wreck-Gar at the Target when I went though. Just one, and it was hiding on the back of the shelf. Didn't get it, but I saw it. It exsists on the shelf. At least here in North Carolina.

    My Shockwave's head is loose too. Thanks for the info on how to fix. Don't think I have enough dexterity (or intellegence) to actually attempt the fix though. But thanks!:thumbs2:

    In response to the Grimlock Spice-Rack topic, I am "that guy."

    I have found myself lately to be the type of person who is tempted by some large figure or another, but then something innocuous or entirely silly about the figure will come to light, and then I'm sold, I have to have it. Last year, this happened with the Great Impact Model Gurren Lagann. The toy looked really cool, and I was tempted, but it wasn't until I found out the figure came with the Core Drill and that little house they dragged around in the first quarter of the series that I had to have it.

    MP Grimlock was the same situation. The figure looked cool, and Grimlock was one of my first Transformers as a kid, so the nostalgia factor was there too. But I was on the fence about buying it until I found out that it came with an apron and a tiny bow-tie and a tray of drinks. I immediately ran to HLJ and put in a preorder for it. I simply had to have my own Butlersarus.

    So Vangelus IS going to be Spreem's Headmaster! I called it, people! Shower me in adulation/gifts/not abuse!

    Oh, and David Hyde Pierce-ticon FTW, by the way; my personal choice for the role of Doc Scalpel would be Jeff Goldblum, but then he's my personal choice for every role, so my opinion probably doesn''t count.

    PS - You should totally let the Spoiler Voice co-host next week. Poor guy sounds like he's desperate. :(

    I enjoyed this podcast, This is the first time I did not use ITunes (my computer is at home, we are on vacation) So it is really nice I can download the mp3 to my phone :) 

    I have to agree that Botcon is much more than toys, I consider them as a bonus, it is all about the experiance.

    Also, thanks to GogDog for the True Colors Shockwave fix! :D

    I listened to the spoiler intermission again and I have to ask did you guys get Hulk Hogan to do that? :p  The last part sounded totally like it was pulled from some old WWE interview, all that was missing was a carefully placed "you know something brother.."

    I was so close! I guessed that APV would be Spreem's POWERmaster.
