    Love the show guys! Hope Seth gets better. I feel what Gogdog was saying, just too much awesome 3rd party stuff coming out, and then.... BAM Hasbro kicks ASS! Metroplex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Looking forward to what you guys have to say about Hasbro addressing 3rd party toys! (Metroplex is obviously a slap to 3rd parties, about time!)

    I think the idea of Hasbro and 3rd Party companies having any kind of direct slapfight via their toys is more romanticism than reality.

    Seth, here are the actual cars that Wildrider, Dead End and Dragstrip are based on:

    Lamborghini Ankonian
    [​IMG]

    Ferrari Enzo FXX
    [​IMG]

    Caparo T1
    [​IMG]

    Breakdown seems to be a mash up of the Aventador and the Gallardo.

    So the whole Lenin thing in the MMC comic is right up my alley. Have they made those available outside of the figures? I dont want to have to buy all of the figures to read through the story, but it sounds entertaining as hell

    The MMC comics are posted up on their Facebook page, I do like that the running joke of Steve the Vehicon gets a nod with the Crow Battalion member being named 'Stepan'

    I understand, but I highly doubt we would have even got a 2 ft transformer in 2013 without 3rd party stuff.

    I couldn't have been the the only listener that thought someone was going to say testicles as Chris was making sure his mic was working for some warm up beats...

    Anyone else think that Vangelus' 'S' sounds are sounding a bit sharp recently? I've been listening in the car and they're a bit ear splitting at times. I don't notice it from other hosts, though. Could just be me.

    As always, it was great listening to you guys gush over Soundwave and Rex. I'm glad I got to be there for the opening of one (Rex). That was quite an experience.

    On the whole Arms Micron question, the first thing that came to my mind was an idea to have a homage to the little partner guys from Action masters.

    Though that might have been because Wingthing got mentioned earlier.

    Sadly I did as well...
