    Nah, I met and photographed Kobayashi in 2010. I was there when Protoman spoke to him and got the first ever confirmation that the next Masterpiece was going to be Rodimus Convoy. :)

    Sounds like I'll be skipping all three Leaders for this movie then. Hopefully something new will be announced at SDCC. Hoping for Megatron, as I really need a Leader-sized Megs for ROTF Prime to have displayed next to him.

    Awesome :) 

    As for Miyake seemingly being rude to you, perhaps he just didn't know english? But still, you'd think he would smile or something.

    Kind of irrelevant, but are you guys going to do a WTF Primetime for Metal Attraction? The front page shows the Criss-Cross podcast, but nothing else.

    Oh man now I want an Leader Ironhide. In fact, Went and got one after listening to this. Thanks Kmart. :) 

    I like the Prime packaging because of the Electric blue look. Also because the way the character art is on there is going to make it easy to look through a peg for them.

    In August maybe. We've grown tired of this podcast thing. That's why Book Club has disappeared, where the poncho contest went, why we haven't done anymore BotCon podcasts, so on and so forth.

    Gotta say, I think you guys like getting feedback and I think having voicemail questions in the middle of the podcast (before WWGTW) is a really good idea. I think some people aren't as into WWGTW as much as others (not me, I love it) so I think it works well structurally.

    I thought that was due to the fact none of the comics have been interesting since Drift wrapped up?

    Folks (the listeners) you gotta let up on these guys a bit, people do have lives outside of podcasting. Relax.

    Ongoing has been alright and Heart of Darkness could be talked to death. Mostly it is more interesting media out there as the "off" show, and we try and have a life other than toy robot internet talking.

    The main reasons we haven't had a book club lately is

    a) We've all been busy over the past few months, some of us with personal issues, some have moved, busy work schedules, Botcon, TFcon prep, personal projects etc. When you add 3 regular podcasts into the mix (main WTF eps, Primetime, Bookclub) it's a lot of time to set aside.

    b) Vangelus has a lot on his table. He makes his own YouTube vids, TGWTG vids, and personal/school projects. You know which gives him the least back, either monetary or otherwise? Yup. WTF. WTF is a labor of love. it's not easy to dedicate 4-6 (or more) hours a week editing podcasts and getting nothing in return. Adding even more on top of that makes it even harder.

    We all want to do as much a we can, it's just been very busy. I'm sure we will be discussing this soon though and see what we can do.

    You guys do a great job and I am sure our great community thinks that as well. It does suck we cant do anything to make it easier on you guys except let ya'll know how awesome you are and how great the podcast is. I hope you guys at the very least feel very appreciated for the work and time you put into the things you do for the benefit of TFW forums and TF fandom in general.

    Definitely! It's too bad you didn't like leader Ironhide Gog, but everyone has their own opinions.

    You mean the part when we where giving people advise on how to leave a message we can use? I didn't think we where hassling anyone, I brought up the guy that left several messages as an example of someone trying to sound the best he could. If I remember correctly he even PMed us about it asking if it was ok and it was.

    I think he means other people giving us a hard time, i.e. asking every few days where the next episode is. :lol
