    In After GodDog ;) 

    It's nice to have a podcast that isn't 85% spoilers for a change. Not that I'm avoiding spoilers, but it's a nice change.

    Now I look forward to hearing your impressions of Scourge - The flying boat and the exclusive of Last week.

    After a third attempt I finally got to listen what the gang had to say about Botcon and so forth. It was long because Aaron was talking and talking and talking and more talking, but behind it he did make sense. Beside I would like to go to Botcon, but I'm in Nebraska its not going to happen so its cool. The rest of the podcast was good I do agree that Kup doesn't look right to me he needed to be a Cybertronian kickup. I thought Scourge's head is a little squashed so that he could fit inside is Cyb. Sideways mode. That one doesn't agree with me some members said they'll stick with the Titanium version and where's is pink colored claws I mean Scourge from G1 needs to at least have those hot pink colored nails. LOL But still I'm nagging again so guys great job yet again and you know what you do need an award because you give your opinions about Transformers and the media that surrounds this genre.

    I'll just use this quote for the Rant apology. I had this rant just build up because of all of the petty bits of frustration that appear with BotCon every year that don't seem to go away, but serve no apparant purpose. Thus the rant.

    I don't know why but it was just the perfect spot of humor after my indignant rage build.

    Nope, I only noticed it when I wanted to skip back pre-rant.

    Well-ranted gentlemen! Totally agree about the online registration! Last year wasn't quite a nightmare but it was such an annoyance. They couldn't read my credit card number or something stupid like that so I had to fax stuff in again and then it took me two or three weeks of playing "email tag" to confirm they'd received it and that I was paid up for the convention, I was and it worked out fine, but they could have let me know that somehow with me having to contact them. It just seemed so inefficient. Poor, poor, Draven and Hi Q.

    I'm not normally a Henkei person either, but I agree completely with Omegus on Dinobot! I'll be getting this version instead, he's worth the wait.

    Agreed! I found it uncomftable handing a stranger a paper with my credit card number on it to fax out.

    I also think its weird that you have to sign up for a Primus Package just to go to the dinner. Im not at all instreated in the toys but I want to attend the dinner for the chance that they may show the movie. I was willing to drop $50.00 for the dinner but Im not willing to spend $200+ on a repaint, just so I can drop another $50 on the chance that they may or may not show the movie.

    Thats just not my cup of tea - not to offend anyone.


    The cast needs more RANTING! Supplemental 13: RANTING, RANTING and more RANTING! LOL!

    Here's another vote for more ranting.

    But why didn't you guys mention the TFcon exclusive? I expected a steady stream of eido11's.

    I think that came out after they recorded, but we will definitely cover it on Ep 33. :D

    Pretty validating to have Vangelus and Aaron vent. This is only my third experience with the fax from hell, so its understandable that you veterans are even more fed up with the system.

    I did have the humbling experience of having to go to Staples to use their fax, with the added embarrassment of my form being printed on bright pink paper left over from one of my wifes projects. It was all I had left.

    What about rant number 4: The uneven distribution of last names for the 'package pick up' line? Aaron, Roller and I were at a stand-still in our line while the 'W' and 'D' lines were empty. I think Vangelus came and taunted us for a while too.

    Thanks for the name droppage. It was most unexpected. Once we see Landshark, if he is not Sharkticon, I shall immediately shop Sharkticon in his color scheme. For anyone who hasn't seen it, here is the Skyquake Vangelus mentioned. I also just did Thunder Clash. Let us see how off I am, this time.

    I agree with all of the FP rants 100%. Allowing you to pay for the attendee exclusives on the form are a particular one I wish they'd do. At the very least, you would know how much everything will cost.

    If Michael Bay is at the dinner, video is a must. Something awesome will happen at some point.

    About Animated. I'm still thinking they might end up integrating it into Universe. I recall Kickback mentioning something about Universe being set to continue through the movie. With the whole splitting of Arcee and New Soundwave into separate waves. They could be splitting up the remaining waves of both, and then combining them together. It would extend both, and take up less space.

    Faxes...those things still exist? People are still expected to use them? :/
    Yeah, even if I could go to Botcon, the thought of registering for anything via fax is a big turn-off (mostly because I would have no idea how to even use one ^^;) . Everything is done on the internet now.

    I'd love to, but vacation time and all important monies are rather thin at the moment.

    Yeah, but one of his few comments was great.

    I find it hilarious as I'm one of the few that actually does have one in the house that's functional, but I'm not going to BotCon.
