    Regarding terminology for shared engineering, I was thinking we could call them Offshoots? Or maybe Engineering Offshoots?

    Talking about skeletons just seems too creepy to me. :)  (Also, just doesn't roll off the tongue.)

    The studio series' scaling mission statement makes me feel super good about Grimlock.

    Congrats on 500 episodes! Vangelus, I'd be more than happy to trade you some American Duocons for one of them Canadian Cogmen's. I think they only popped up for a hot sec in California, and I can't seem to find anything for a reasonable price online.

    500 already? Feels like just yesterday I was on vacation, sitting on the steps, stealing the neighbor's wi-fi to listen to a podcast made by my favorite site to discuss transformers. I remember excitedly listening as all the hosts and even-odd structure got introduced, thinking "I can't tell any of these people apart, they all sound exactly the same" Now of course, 500+ episodes later I could probably tell y'alls voices apart with plugs in my ears.....

    Love the bit at the end about only finding one half of Battletrap, since that's the exact position I was in. I'm sitting here with a dumb wide hipped helicopter and I feel like an idiot

    Congrats on 50 great episodes (and at least 300 mediocre ones)! :lol 

    Seriously, though: this podcast has kept me sane on countless commutes. I don't know what I would do without you guys. Here's to 5,000!

    Oddly prescient discussion of Battletrap: I am the poor guy who went to Wal-Mart and found Roadtrap but no Battleslash.
