    Thought I'd just throw in my thoughts on the Botcon Twitter matter. While I love the fact that they do have a twitter enabling us to communicate with them I wish it was handled a bit better. I like the casual nature of it but wish it was a bit more professional, some type of balance between the two.

    And oh yeah, I'm Pro E-hobby Black Rodimus. I look forward to Protoman's inevitable review of it :D

    Yay, Vangelus listened to me again! XD

    Thanks for using my suggestion, but Protoman did a lot of the work. XD

    ..to be honest, Aaron's version of a Pizza Pop doesn't sound too different from what a Hot Pocket is anyway.

    Just in pushing pop form.

    ...

    Not to say it's anymore appetizing.

    Just sayin'.

    I'm in favor of black Rodimus. I'm not in favor of his price.

    As for the plane question- I'd like to see a P51 Mustang. Or really any other WW2 planes.

    Very insightful discussion on the BC topic. I hope some of that's heeded. Not holding my breath though.

    Also G2 Fireflight, & The Decepticon Micromaster Flattop are F-4's

    On reflection Flatop's name is nearly as daft as G1 Skyhammer, Half Track, Hardtop, and the various others where the actual characters name either completely fails to match or matches their accessory not the character.

    I remember liking the unreleased F-4 with wind up powered guns on the wings that was part of the proposed lines cancelled just prior to G2.

    I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who can't get RTS G2 Prime's alt mode completely flush to the ground. Mine's the Hasbro version. Wish there was a fix for this!

    I think I want to try this caffeinated water now. I could also see myself pulling some fun pranks on people with it if there's not taste difference:ev:

    The listener question about the whole robot genders thing really made me think of the Asari from Mass Effect, a bit surprised it wasn't brought up during the conversation

    I think the appeal of Zoom water is for people who aren't ready to give up caffeine, but do want to cut the sugar out of their diets without drinking artificial sweetners.

    Yay! I finally got around to listening to the podcast where my question is answered!

    The Ford Tri-Motor is an awesome idea. As I've been thinking of it, I'd also love to see a good ol' DC-3 in killer robot form. Spinning blade weapons are always cool, but they tend to be wielded by helicopters. I'd love to see another old prop-driven plane slicing and dicing in the battlefield.

    I'm afraid I have to lean towards evil cat person. I grew up with a basset hound, and would love to have an old hound dog again. Unfortunately, with the odd schedule I keep and the traveling we do, I don't think it would be fair to the dog. Our two cats are independent enough that they don't need as much attention as a dog, and can be self-sufficient for 3-4 days on their own, so I don't need to board them when I'm gone.
