    Armada Sideways remains one of my favourite character sheets whose potential was IMO completely wasted in both the fiction and the toys. ;_;

    I would have Neil Kaplan say one of 2 things:
    1. This is R.I.D. Optimus Prime saying GIVE ME YOUR FACE!
    2. Having him bashing on GEEWUNNERS saying R.I.D. is the best TF series.

    While I can somewhat agree with you about the toy(I really want a Universe 3.0 version) I found Sideways' character to be very interesting, can you elaborate on how you feel he was wasted?

    Sideways could have been this awesome combination of various factors:

    -Two mini-cons that combine into one (either two personalities or a double-bipedal duocon)
    -The mini-cons potentially being the controlling force
    -Mini-con-less Sideways potentially being a completely different person altogether
    -etc etc etc

    There were a ton of cool avenues that felt to me as though they were entirely passed over to just make him a generic Agent Of A Power Greater Than We.

    Jetfire isn't Scottish, he's English. His voice is nowhere near to a Scottish accent (I should know I live in Scotland), his toy is though but overall he isn't

    Just wanted to let you know

    So Vangelus, if you're the Primer Vangelus what happened to the Prime Vangelus? Did you kill him or was he dead already when you crossed over?

    The story of Vangelus Prime is pretty remarkable.

    Uhm... I also like Rodimus (especially the Animated version) however I was not a part of this podcast.

    And Gog, yes I'm upset at you for getting Jetfire before me. Personally upset. Dearly upset.

    I'd send you a text, but you're too cheap to buy a plan.

    Oh AT&T is getting plenty of my money as it is and with e-mail and Twitter on my phone it's not like I can't be gotten a message to.

    That’s what I thought he was talking about at first but what Gog was thinking of was the Python Patrol version of the Conquest.

    At first I thought Gog was referring to one of the vehicles from the GI Joe Night Force line, but I don't think they used the conquest in that line.

    I haven't opened it yet, but for $6.74 it was well worth it as was the Tiger Rat

    ...so whats instore for next weeks episode of WTF@GIJOE :p

    Where's that Radicon thread with the cool pictures? Podcast said it'd be linked in here somewhere.
