    Well what is'nt? Fortress Maximus reissue, GDO toys, Hasbro Masterpieces, Project Uranos, Multiple perfect effect motorbike ladies , five complete waves of bot shots, KREO Devastator. Arms Micron!

    The shelf is Dead Jim. Were going to rebuild that shelf like Cyrus Breakdown just to rip it open on a decepticon operating table immediately.

    Landcross is an incredible toy. I probably also would have dropped some serious cash on it if I wasn't able to get it in a trade.

    Man, i'm still working my way through 219, and have the new album from Between the Buried and Me to listen to, this episode might be what i listen to on my flight friday. but i look forward to listening, i'm really glad i'm getting back into the podcast. I just found the first 30 episodes or so on my computer, you guys have certainly stepped up the quality since the early days.

    If I'm remembering correctly, the Red Alert supplemental came about through, as Omegus said, through a joke about Red Alert snapping and collecting (possibly dismembering) human bodies. In one of the Animated-related supplementals it was said that Red Alert would share his with Cliffjumper, after Cliffjumper was portrayed as a soft-spoken, yet profane, bruiser.

    Hey Aaron, I've seen the D21 in person, it's about three minutes from where I'm standing right now :p . Anyway, I really like what they're doing with Uranos, especially accuracy wise, being a huge plane nut, however, don't like Superion that much. Great podcast guys!

    As far as Blastoff's Arm mode, I find it more so was a little "misdisigned".

    If you compare to the Few instances where he wasn't a Gunarm in FoC Bruticus' hand is actually meant to come out of the exhast port, not a combination of Blastoff's legs, the toy designers most likey were not aware. (check the Final countdown when he prys the door open for Megs, and when doing the ground smash as Bruticus)

    Hopefully maybe a 3rd Market will take the challege of improving Foc Bruticus and give him a proper right hand and perhaps a new one for Vortex as well(Bruticus doesn't need a Karate hand)

    I enjoyed your podcast. I liked the discussion about the upcoming reissues, Masterpiece's, and TFC Uranus figures. And, I will have to agree that the 1st and 2nd printing of a novel is a better analogy to my Picasso one for Fort Max. I was going more Max being a work of art, than a direct comparison.

    I'm surprised no one theorized about the possibility of a Shattered Glass E-Hobby Fort Max.

    of course it is, it's Monty Python!

    For Brawl, I did find a way to add something to him to make him stable. I have an extra pair of PRID Wheeljack swords and Brawl has 5mm ports on the insides of his legs. So I plug them in pointing in opposite directions. It makes him very stable. But yeah this is a very stop gap measure to have to take.
