Yeah, Magnus has a peg on his thumb that goes into Optimus's hand. Some really brilliant engineering on those two. It boggles my mind how some people have trouble with the pair - you just take Magnus apart and make him into armor for Prime. I guess it just shows how we all process things differently.

Also, completely off-topic, I have a snoring cat under my desk, and she's adorable.

 

We need to petition Rifftrax!

 

Question : Why-TF did I just listen (again) from the other side of the globe/plateau to guys/TF-fans who “don’t” get exited about the movie but can’t shut up about the toys? The only thing that in my opinion was “exiting” about StarWars was Kylo Ren’s voice! In other words, your off-topic section get’s longer with each episode. I would like your Transformers Podcasts to be with more Transformers! Why don’t you spend more time talking about the IDW comics from where a lot of the “Toys’R’Yours / just repaints” stuff get’s their personality from as well as the most expansion in the TF-universe in the last few years?

Keep up the great ¾ of the show!

Thanks and best regards, Quint

 

I enjoyed their off topic section. I don't collect SW toys, so this was interesting to me. It also lets me live vicariously through them without spending a dime!

If you don't like the off topic section, perhaps you should just skip it in the future? From my understanding, that's why they put it at the end.

 

Ok, I understand that I don't have to listen to it and that the months between conventions are pretty slow when it comes to new TF releases.
And I know you can't fill half an hour of talk about the comics. But now there's non. 5 minutes would be enough I guess?

 

Thanks for tackling my question, guys! The handshaking thing still throws me for a loop, but that's just the way it goes in Japan, I guess. Over here in the U.S. we've got the Iron Man pose that everyone's obsessed with posing their toys, so shaking hands isn't that outlandish.

Personally I love it when they go off topic, even throughout the show. It's one of the strengths of this podcast where they can just go whatever direction they want with the conversation.

 

Since it's just said that 'Off topic is one of the strengths of this postcast' I will give you all a firm handshake and will not bother you any further about this "Transformers podcast" on this Transformers site. Let's say and keep it at that I just had an European Iron Man pose!

 

Re: the Lone Ranger movie. It cost 200 mil because they built railway lines. Every line you see at the end sequence were built for the movie.

Re:Spider-carnage. He was from Spider-man comics at the time of the animated series. The last season threw in a few variants of Spider-man from older comics.

Ok. Thanks for the reply. Of course I will keep listening to the podcast. I just hoped there would be more comictalk in the future. Which I understand is difficult if you have not read them.
