    I don't know about you but there's cheap suits by Botcon. I'm going to the Hall of Fame dinner in style. Men's Suit Outlet not gonna lie, the website sucks but I'm still going to check them out.

    Nice information, I've played Runescape (free to play only), and it's pretty good, I suppose, I guess it's like any MMO, lots of grinding, quests, players who are jerks, the once-in-a-lifetime mystical nice player. That's really all I can say, is that it's an MMO

    Hey Podcast guys! Listened to my first TFW podcast on Wednesday, and listened to the discussion on "TF: Prime - Deus Ex Machina" and found it actually enjoyable! I saw the running time, and thought, "How could anyone talk about a cartoon for over an hour?" Well, not only did you guys do it, but it was entertaining as well!

    While "WTF@TFW" won't replace my workday talk radio, it will definitely be on my weekend rotation while I do chores and run errands! Great job guys!

    well, i played runescape many years ago, and it is browser based, and it got boring after i wasnt a member anymore, and well there are soooo many people like masterson from animated, so you can imagine what im talking about, and i agree with gogdog that why is hasbro going with jagex, and a little more on runescape, yeah its ok for a free to play game, but it gets boring if your not a "member" then it gets boring fast and its not even on par with toontown, or wizard 101, so i dont expect much, :lol  mr. t WoW commercial

    I haven't even been in the fandom that long and even I know where the term kibble came from. From tfwiki:

    And it goes into greater detail later in the article. It just made me laugh when one of you said, "We'll never know where the term came from" when we actually have it well documented.

    I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as I did at Seth's Wheeljack impersonation.

    I do love that head clip

    And it's pretty apparent that the easy method of painting his eyes escaped me completely. Also his beard tore off, I wasn't careful

    Vangelus, FYI Nightviper wasn't part of the Battle for the Spark line, just the regular BM line.

    Also the hammerhead shark was called Hammerstrike.

    *BM nerd*

    I don't see why Vangelus thinks he's alone in liking TM2 Scourge when both myself and others have admitted to liking him.

    @Vangelus: The Dragon Knight Figmas are part Medicom? That must explain why they feel more durable than the standard Figma, and also how they match the show suits so well. Though I wonder if you'll keep to your all in declaration after a certain reveal from Figuarts :lol .

    Also, that "Sweeping motion of my arm" bit hilarious.

    I think its really great that everyone on the show collects such a wide variety of toys, but lately WWGTW has gotten way too long and off topic (IMO). I hate to be "that guy" but 75% of this episode wasn't even about Transformers.

    Usually I don't mind it, in fact there have been figures you guys have talked about in the past that I have actually picked up because of the show (hell I really want that Belial Ultraman figure and plan on picking it up) , but I think generally speaking most people are listening to hear about Transformers and not Revoltech, Kamen Rider, Ultraman or Power Rangers.

    I realize things are a little slow this time of year but maybe you guys could consider getting a Radicon to talk about customizing, maybe try to get an interview with someone who has worked with the franchise, feature a character from the Transformers mythos and have a discussion like on "Canadian Slag", talk about comics or maybe just include the Prime episode discussions as the second half of the show.

    Have you considered making a Podcast for the Toyark? It would be something interesting to consider.

    Anyways I realize you guys are busy and you do this on your spare time, I do appreciate the show and I thank you for taking the time to make it. I love it.

    I thought we did okay opening up with some pretty lengthy talk about new Generations toys, personally. But I'm still more or less feeling that leaving things mostly to individual discretion in WWGTW while providing multiple ways to skip through it is the best approach when taking all prior listener feedback into consideration.

    Though I will admit for the sake of transparency, I really feel it damages the feedback discussion when there's hyperbole like "75% of this episode wasn't even about Transformers". If we did spend 127 minutes speaking about non-Transformers toys in this episode then I take it back in this case, but otherwise how am I supposed to respond to that part? :/ I am not trying to quash any kind of feedback by saying this, just wanting to explain why that particular sort of point often gets my tone a little snippy.

    I do think the rest are good suggestions, though I can explain why comics and Prime are not in the regular episodes at length. I prefer to keep those separate so they can have a zero-pressure atmosphere that's more open to discussion. Also, there are regular hosts that don't keep up with the IDW books and/or Prime, so I'd rather do the dedicated mini-shows with only those who have points to bring to the discussion.

    Industry guests in numbered episodes are sort of a combo between not wanting to have that buried inside a weekly episode + sadly not having the time to do the legwork on that kind of thing very often, myself. Often feel bad that I don't chase down more interviews but that's something I haven't the time to personally do, due to my other projects. If other people set things up I am all for it, of course!

    Personally I have no desire to host/headline a Toyark podcast on a volunteer basis as I am already way too timesinked recording audio between this and other shows I pop in on, but I'm very sure that site would be open to it if someone else wants to do all the work.

    Really hope this hasn't come off as mean-spirited or anything! I want to give an honest response without sugar-coaty "That will be taken into consideration~" quotes, that's all.
