    Excellent podcast!

    Only thing I have to add is my DotM Shockwave's mechtech weapon works just fine. It expands and locks without problem.

    I actually LOL'd at the tacbac + slim jim bit. And holy hell it was great when Vangelus broke.

    I think the pancake/waffle tangent is all the proof we need for why the board needs a food section.

    The worst part about a clipped Crankcase is that the one I got (I returned him and said, "something is wrong with his hands" and then promptly found an unclipped version via box code) is that the clipped fingers not only are blatantly clear something was snipped off but they were snipped LOWER than his standard fingers.. so you couldn't even take a file and make the fingers pointed in a sense that would look decent.

    That could be changing. I bought a clipped Crankcase right before the line's official street date and his middle fingers were definately cut shorter then the other. I bought another one a few days ago. His fingers were clipped, but this time they were cut to length. So it could either differ or later batches had this corrected.

    I've gotten hooked on The Great Gildersleeve, so I will defend Parkay's honor with my fists if I have to

    I just love how you guys mention Minerva getting updated and she just magically shows up at Botcon. Though I would have prefered Slipstream

    Re: the listener question - Skids got several story arcs in the comics (possibly only the uk comics) it's one of the nice things with the uk comics giving individual characters some love.

    Good night, messin with my new HA Whirl, and Tailpipe with Pinpointer, lookin at Botcon pics and listening to 149, good times :thumb 
    I have given into the fact I will have alll the HA basics, even Icepick I suppose, and I am even going to get that razafrakin derpy BB forced on us who want the Backfire repaint :lol  After seeing the Pics of the newer upcomming HA basic figures I will officially say they are hands down my favorite part of the line, 0 questions asked.
    I so far have all the HA basics from wave 1 so far (have not yet picked up Icepick), and found Whirl and Tailpipe today.

    Backfire is currently under Classics Prime's arm as a gun. Thunderhead is currently in mech mode with Skyhammer's Mechteh gun on top, which actually looks pretty sweet. As for Sandstorm I just keep him displayed in the makeshift mech mode, didn't find anything to do with the weapon mode And yeah, my Deadcliff looks derpy as Hades. I found the easy mech mode for Whirl as well so I got all kinda HA basic exo-armors roaming around on my desk :lol  I don't think there is gonna be a mech suit type mode for Tailpipe, but I will give it a Whirl (tadating)

    I will tell you this, it's like Tailpipe and Pinpointer were made to work with Skyhammer, put the Targetmaster on one side and the weapon mode Tailpipe on the other (in the forearm ports) and its freaking amazing.

    Thanks crew for giving me that little extra push I needed to buy these beasts.

    I have always been meaning to get Longrack and Stampy but had never even heard of the others. The prices were sweet.
