    Well, it wasn't the "only" thing I took away from the discussion, but I think its safe to say that I had a very entertaining 30 minutes or whatever it was before you guys broke the bad (or good, depending) news haha. Thinking back, I almost wish someone had trolled my tail about it so that I could've looked like a fool all over the boards instead of just in this topic, as I honestly must have missed part of his question while laughing at the name thing.

    Listened to. Great episode, though we were all fooled greatly.

    Relating to the discussion, I personally don't mind Rumble's shoulder pads. Like Deluxe Knockout, Rumble is most likely misstransformed.

    Also, was there ever a discussion on the FoC figures that were shown? Like Jazz and Shockwave?

    I also like the extra long podcasts. Thanks. Who pays for the bandwidth?

    That listener question broke something in your brains, and it was glorious.

    Exact same thing here, love the full day of listening to the podcast.

    As for the stickers... I agree, I am not really a fan of them. But as for the concern about them coming off, I personally on my KREO sets just painted a nice coat of my wife's nail polish glossy clear coat and that really did a good job. Especially on the stickers that had to wrap around weird shapes. I just pulled the clear coat well past the edges of the stickers and got a really nice seal to protect them and seal them down.

    I kinda agree with Seth Buzzard if SH MonsterArts does Kiryu aka Mechagodzilla 3 that would be badass.

    Historical significance of Sideswipe:

    In the episode "City of Steel," He jumped Starscream and told him "Say uncle or I'll shove your nosecone into your exhaust." Which makes him the first Autobot to threaten to sadomize a Decepticon with his own head.

    I will report on the effect of the 3rd party stuff in the dealer room, as I will be helping at one of the dealer tables there.

    "WangByatis" has a nice ring to it.

    One of the big blessings we've had is that TFW2005 is doing all the hosting and bandwidth. Having started up my own irregular-schedule podcast, I was amazed how much more work it is to find and price out a hosting service. Really made me appreciate how much easier the tech side of things was when WTF started.

    I plan on getting Snake the moment my Import stores get him. I was iffy on Cyborg ninja, but hearing that he's a pretty fantastic figure is making me reconsider grabbing him. I'm so excited for the Mass Effect Play Arts, but I'm also dreading what they'll end up doing to my wallet...I can see myself getting all of them, even the characters that I didn't like all that much.

    Is anyone that does this podcast thinking of getting the Bishojou Fem Shep and Liara statues?

    You could try asking someone who does another Podcast (whatever the subject) what they use - since Chris is or was an 'Internet celebrity' I'm sure someone would help.

    Incidentally There's 3 version of Botshots Tank Megatron one is Black, one is Black & Gold and one is a brownish colour.

    One comes in the Battle for the Matrix Gift sets (gold and black with a trailer)
    One is mostly black (from the 3 pack)
    and one is Brown and has a trailer and is from the trailered assortment.

    Just to mention the 4 versions of Botshot bee are not all the same colours either.

    And Superbot Megatron is partly an Optimus Prime body with a Megatron head and a tanker back end put on it.... The sad thing is if they'd used the same tanker back end on the Nemesis Prime with the Optimus head you'd be most of the way towards an RID Scourge not to mention G2 Laser Prime as well.

    I'm pleased we will get all the main "Seekers" and the 3 Movie Wreckers too.

    Ok, Sideswipe's car mode is pronounced coon-tawsh anyway I really hope it turns out well, and it will definitely be my first masterpiece also i checked out some of that Danball Senki stuf, and they look pretty cool, especially that Lucifer, and I got kind of a Solaris vibe from it, but watching a couple of reviews on it, they said that a lot of the white is plastic, and not stickers, unfortunately, none of them showed any of the articulation, but yeah, I will definitely look into this line

    When are you guys gonna do Book Club's again? The current assortment of comics is just too splendiforous for you guys to pass up talking hours on length about.

    I know there are other podcasts out there with Transformers Comic discussion as their specialty, but I like to hear opinions from different groups.
