poutine !!!

PP05W/M are not expensive in comparison to other 3rd party toys IMO. With the quantity of weapons they have it could easily be sold as a stand alone $30-$50 weapons pack like the popular gears of war sets. If that is the case the figures themselves only come to $60-$80, well within other current figures.

TFClub did a survey as to what recolor Hercules would get, and Shattered Glass came out on top. I don't see any purpose in them doing the colors in anything but club comic accurate with white and red, if the purpose is to homage that toy they might as well do it right.

I think you have to remember that the Constructicons have only ever appeared in two color schemes in fiction... green/purple and white/red. Any other combinations has never had fiction behind it.

I think one of the real reasons Neo toys have a lot of vehicle parts in them is in Japan beast toys were not popular, so they were trying to give the vehicle fans something to play with.

You guys need to get caught up on MTMTE, then there will be no way you can resist swerve

Hey guys. Love the Podcast.

Just wanted to chime in one the Perseus redeco.

As a fan since G1 I welcome anything that's different in the Transformers Fandom. New color schemes, new designs, anything fresh and distinct.

That being said I have never read the club fiction, and don't own a single Botcon figure. However I love the Perseus redeco. I think it really shines and actually looks better than the original Hercules (which I also don't own).

I also welcome a sixth member of Uranos! If anything that makes me want it MORE. Cause, you know, its different.

I'm more focused on engineering and how a toy stands on its own merits than how slavish it is to its reference point. Just my two cents!

awesome! DL'd, gonna listen to this on my drive home tonight.

May or may not make multiple posts. >.> <.<
I'm totally intereste din Perses, mainly because!
A ) I want the Hercules, but I have Green Giant ordered
B ) I love the color scheme on it!
C ) I'm weird.

You definitely want to get a Tidal Wave GodDog. I think he's the closest to a base former we've seen in years. I got super lucky and picked him up 100% complete for $2 at a yard sale.

That. That Tidal Wave is one of the best Transformers of all time, in my opinion.

Another comment about "Perses", I don't think they spelled it wrong, there was an actual greek titan named Perses. I don't think they just misspelled Persus.

As for the sixth Uranos member, for all we know the 6th member is a backpack or a Targetmaster for the combined form. The five original members might be perfectly able to combine into a normal Superion without him. We really need to wait and see a picture before we complain.

in case you guys missed it, Not-Swerve's name is "Veer"

I wonder if the 6th member won't be something more like the Seacons, and he'll just turn into a gun. I'd be really stoked with a black SR-71 that becomes a sweet robot and a sweet gun...

We recorded this at the end of a very long hard week for me at work, I don't know if anyone is picking up on it but I was nearly dead in my chair recording that.

I don't think im buyin' bluyray because season 1 was on netflix 2 weeks after release.

Some thoughts post-podcast:

Shafter is my first and only iGear product, and while I don't hate the guy, I also don't find him interesting enough that I would want to track down every MiniWarrior they're doing, especially considering the larger size/higher pricepoint. Had they remained at Rager/Spray sizes, I might have at least looked more closely at one or two of them.

I love the Perses colors! No, I won't shell out $500 for one anytime soon, but there is something interesting and unique about the white and red being applied to a design I'm so used to seeing in green and purple that works for me. I know at least in my case that the appreciation for the colors is totally independent of any Shattered Glass connection, and maybe that's the thinking that lead TFC to pursue those colors instead of the obvious yellow or orange.

LOL TFCC, nearly went off without a hitch. Of the six we got, I might argue that Slipstream fits the bill for the Iron Klaw of the line, but I guess that depends on how one defines any of these figures being the equivalent of Klaw for Joes. Ultra Mammoth is the only figure in the set I would make the effort to get but the BBTS price is ridiculous and I haven't found anyone interested in grabbing either Action Master homage or Breakdown. Can't afford to do it without offloading all five figures!

Try to obtain Tidal Wave as soon as you can GogDog

Nope didn't notice that. You sound like you normally do. At least to me.

Vangelus, as someone who geeks out about engineering, it seems to me that you are doing yourself a disservice by not ordering Fakebusker's stuff. Get a Thugger in WSFP and you will learn. Go ahead and just get one.

I really kind of wish at this point that I could just get a hold of some of the CAD files since I have access to a 3D Printer. Just to *ahem* test them out.

Send Fakebusker a PM. He's a bro so he might be able to work something out with you guys. Or not. I'm just his fanboy.

Vangelus, you've got me considering getting one of those soda machines now

My only problem with that is there is no knowing how long it will stay on Netflix.

I don't get the carbonated water thing. With a little bit of flavoring it's... slightly better. But it's just not a refreshing beverage to me.

My wife and kids LOVE it though. We buy the Smiths/Kroger brand seltzer water 12 packs. That soda stream genesis titan magic soda fountain thing may be a decent investment for us.

Mmmm, Soda stream ice cream soda was the favourite drink of my childhood.

I agree with Gog about the whole longrack thing.
