I am here, and I don't know if 00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:38.840 I want to be waiting or not, because yikes, folks, 00:00:38.939 --> 00:00:44.780 yikes. Oh, and I'm glad we weren't recording 00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:46.880 earlier, because some of the outtakes, folks, 00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:50.960 this is going to come into play later when we 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.020 get to the topic, but... I literally sat here 00:00:55.020 --> 00:00:58.420 at my desk before we started recording. This 00:00:58.420 --> 00:01:02.020 is why everyone remembers fans. Basically, I've 00:01:02.020 --> 00:01:04.459 turned into an adult fan zone. This is why I 00:01:04.459 --> 00:01:08.939 hate machines. This is why I hate real toys. 00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:15.359 Tune in later to hear that story. How the hell 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:21.980 have you been? Well, I have a nice conversation 00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:28.099 about Prime. later but uh i'm excited for some 00:01:28.099 --> 00:01:30.500 of these stories about some of the figures coming 00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:36.180 up yes yes we're finally getting some that people 00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:43.079 have been really looking forward to so yeah without 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.719 further ado uh before we get to the figure talk 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.519 we should get to a piece of information that 00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.900 is awesome. That was updated by, uh, Candace 00:01:54.900 --> 00:02:00.180 and Tora on X on Twitter and Facebook and everywhere. 00:02:00.299 --> 00:02:06.079 Yep. Yep. Uh, as some may have known, Gary chalk 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:12.759 was, uh, fighting a battle with cancer, uh, lymphoma 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:17.259 to be more specific. and she posted that he wrapped 00:02:17.259 --> 00:02:19.400 up his chemo and other stuff a week or so ago, 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.639 and so far so good, and he's enduring some side 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.000 effects, but things are optimistic. Could be 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.800 months before he's back to normal, but yeah, 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.000 he seems to be on the other side of it, which 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:35.539 is awesome news for anybody who knows Gary, and 00:02:35.539 --> 00:02:38.479 of course Gary himself, and yeah, that's awesome 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.960 news. Yeah, it's very, very cool. Very good to 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.680 hear. Absolutely love it. Nothing more than we 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.979 love around here than good news because it's 00:02:48.979 --> 00:02:53.800 really tough when we get bad news, whether it's 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.979 the Transformers world or any of the other worlds 00:02:56.979 --> 00:03:03.879 that we, you know, these people that bring characters 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.039 to life for us or that have brought characters 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.159 to life for us or that have touched our lives. 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:14.479 You know, we talk about all kinds of people, 00:03:14.539 --> 00:03:19.819 Gary and everybody. You know, it's like if something 00:03:19.819 --> 00:03:22.800 happens to them, it's like, oh, my God. You know, 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:27.280 not only do we feel bad because as humans, you 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.419 know, you should have sympathy and empathy and 00:03:29.419 --> 00:03:31.300 all that and everything else. But it's like. 00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:35.560 the dude has done so much not just as optimus 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.780 primal as you know in beast wars but he's done 00:03:38.780 --> 00:03:40.819 other characters and other things and everything 00:03:40.819 --> 00:03:43.240 else but for us specifically it's mainly because 00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:47.340 of you know optimus primal in beast wars and 00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:50.020 beast machines and and things like that and gary's 00:03:50.020 --> 00:03:52.159 just an awesome dude we've had the chance to 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:56.520 interview gary i think you've talked to him once 00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.939 for beast unleashed and i've talked to him twice 00:03:58.939 --> 00:04:02.400 once for beast unleashed and once when Neil and 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.520 I were doing pixels in the animation because 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.020 we had him on because he was Grounder in one 00:04:07.020 --> 00:04:13.159 of the Sonic cartoons. But yes, Gary, awesome 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:19.079 job on chemo and getting that cancer's ass kicked 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:23.240 and all that good stuff. So continued speedy 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.699 recovery and all that good stuff. Yep, yep, yep. 00:04:28.180 --> 00:04:33.850 So moving on to... The next piece of news that 00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:36.629 we have is Transformers Studio Series Leader 00:04:36.629 --> 00:04:41.949 Class G1 Megatron. And we finally get stock photos 00:04:41.949 --> 00:04:47.910 and inbox photos. Yep. So I combine these two 00:04:47.910 --> 00:04:53.790 stories because one is from June 4th. The other 00:04:53.790 --> 00:04:56.810 is from June 10th. They're six days apart, but 00:04:56.810 --> 00:05:00.189 they're for the same figure. I wasn't going to 00:05:00.189 --> 00:05:03.550 have us like, here's the stock photos of it. 00:05:03.569 --> 00:05:07.689 And you see Megatron in robot and alt mode, which 00:05:07.689 --> 00:05:11.470 he is a tank. He's not a gun. He was never going 00:05:11.470 --> 00:05:15.370 to be a gun. Not here in the US anyway. And I 00:05:15.370 --> 00:05:17.310 wasn't going to be like, oh, well, here's the, 00:05:17.430 --> 00:05:20.089 I said this to you right before we hit record. 00:05:20.189 --> 00:05:24.160 I'm like, here's the. Here's the reveal. And 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.759 then come back to us, you know, in three stories, 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:29.639 folks, when we can actually, no, we're just going 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.920 to roll it all into one. The, I think what I 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:40.399 like about the, other than whoever is doing the, 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:48.769 the box reveal for, oh boy. Okay. Yeah. The box 00:05:48.769 --> 00:05:51.850 itself looks really good. I think that looks 00:05:51.850 --> 00:05:56.550 cool, but Megatron himself, man, they did a really 00:05:56.550 --> 00:06:02.410 good job with this, I think. I am very impressed. 00:06:04.649 --> 00:06:09.670 One, I'm glad that he's the leader class figure 00:06:09.670 --> 00:06:14.589 price point. I'm glad that he scales well with 00:06:14.589 --> 00:06:18.680 the other ones. I love the... snippet from the 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:20.680 movie at the top of the back of the box with 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.879 the figure and then the front of the box the 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.420 artwork that's kind of faded in there and then 00:06:26.420 --> 00:06:32.240 um you get the nice purple background from his 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:37.759 ship yep and then um you get to the the actual 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:42.480 figure and if i didn't know he turned into a 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.480 tank yeah i would not know that he turned into 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:52.939 a tank And they did such a superb job. Yeah. 00:06:53.699 --> 00:06:55.920 Like, obviously, they had to have creative vision 00:06:55.920 --> 00:07:01.699 to recreate the wheel, as it were, with his transformation. 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.800 Yeah. Because obviously he can't turn into a 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:11.319 gun. However, the robot mode looks like they 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.959 peeled him right out of the film. Yeah, pretty 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.759 much. Yeah. and then you look at the the transformation 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.199 and how they you know i mean they did a really 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.160 good job for the sense that like everything is 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:26.879 folding upon folding upon folding out of part 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.819 and then they take the the original back gun 00:07:29.819 --> 00:07:32.660 piece and shove it into the the fusion cannon 00:07:32.660 --> 00:07:39.019 and then they um they have his uh the original 00:07:39.019 --> 00:07:43.040 g1 version on next to it and then he has the 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:47.139 sword on the side and i mean this is this is 00:07:47.139 --> 00:07:52.279 a beautiful figure yeah it came out so good there's 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:54.819 a couple of minor paint issues but i mean it's 00:07:54.819 --> 00:07:58.279 very very minuscule it's not anything i would 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.399 like gawk at like the head sculpt is perfect 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:06.360 yeah the head sculpt is amazing Okay, and you've 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.620 talked about this at length over the last X number 00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:16.240 of months and years and whatever. Lately, Hasbro 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:21.459 has skimped on paint. They have. We've talked 00:08:21.459 --> 00:08:24.639 about this. You've said on the podcast, I can't 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.139 even point to a... Look, folks, you're listening 00:08:28.139 --> 00:08:30.439 to the sound of my voice. Go back to any other 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.799 episode and find Steve talking about paint apps 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.259 or lack thereof. I guarantee you he's mentioned 00:08:37.259 --> 00:08:46.759 it. So you know how on YouTube, especially with 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.039 SEO and everything else and people wanting to 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.159 do keywords and everything else, and if you're 00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:56.129 on a... on a youtube live stream if we were doing 00:08:56.129 --> 00:08:59.409 this live on youtube right now and i wanted to 00:08:59.409 --> 00:09:02.809 make sure the algorithm hit everything i said 00:09:02.809 --> 00:09:06.730 i would be like look nintendo switch 2 wait 10 00:09:06.730 --> 00:09:10.250 seconds nintendo switch 2 like you know what 00:09:10.250 --> 00:09:13.889 i mean like it's one of those things where any 00:09:13.889 --> 00:09:16.549 of our previous episodes i would say over the 00:09:16.549 --> 00:09:21.490 last year of you talking about how you've been 00:09:21.490 --> 00:09:25.440 doing your your 3d printing and how you've been 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:29.600 talking about doing your, the stuff that you 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.399 do with your figures when you buy them and you 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:34.620 have to, because you want them to be better than 00:09:34.620 --> 00:09:38.759 what they are, which is frankly sad. The fact 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:41.220 that we're paying so much money for these figures 00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:45.659 and we still feel like the paint apps are lacking. 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.860 And my point is to say that, yeah, you're right. 00:09:50.980 --> 00:09:55.789 There's a few paint. things here that are me 00:09:55.789 --> 00:09:59.850 once you said that i'm like my first response 00:09:59.850 --> 00:10:05.049 was gonna be yeah but you can fix that and i 00:10:05.049 --> 00:10:07.669 know you will but it's one of those things where 00:10:07.669 --> 00:10:11.549 overall though just looking at this it looks 00:10:11.549 --> 00:10:15.809 pretty damn good and i don't know and i'm gonna 00:10:15.809 --> 00:10:18.809 switch over to the to the to the box because 00:10:18.809 --> 00:10:20.769 i was just looking at the figure thing but yeah 00:10:20.769 --> 00:10:26.909 the box looks so good I just wish the box images 00:10:26.909 --> 00:10:30.250 were, and maybe we'll get better box images, 00:10:30.409 --> 00:10:34.929 but in the, in the future beyond this June 10th 00:10:34.929 --> 00:10:38.730 story, hopefully, because some of the, two of 00:10:38.730 --> 00:10:42.129 these box images are more of a wider shot and 00:10:42.129 --> 00:10:44.769 you actually see the person with the box. Like, 00:10:44.889 --> 00:10:48.210 no, I just want to see every angle of the box 00:10:48.210 --> 00:10:51.610 and see the whole box up close. And I don't. 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.200 no offense to the person but i don't care about 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.799 seeing the person kind of thing my only thing 00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:02.500 is i don't see okay technically he didn't have 00:11:02.500 --> 00:11:05.500 okay well it's supposed to be ss86 it's supposed 00:11:05.500 --> 00:11:08.220 to be a movie he didn't have the energy mace 00:11:08.220 --> 00:11:11.519 in the movie did he okay i was gonna say i don't 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:14.019 see the energy mace that would be my only gripe 00:11:14.019 --> 00:11:17.159 with ss86 megatron but since it's not accurate 00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:18.860 to the movie and he didn't have it in the movie 00:11:18.860 --> 00:11:21.840 it doesn't matter So I just talked myself out 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:26.059 of that folks, but, uh, but yeah, no, uh, this 00:11:26.059 --> 00:11:30.120 thing looks amazing. It looks great. I, you're 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:40.559 right. Yeah. Yeah. Any, any, uh, yeah, absolutely. 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.759 Well, this will look perfect with my studio series, 00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:49.779 86 Optimus prime. Yep. Uh, Which I'll talk more 00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:54.299 about that later. So that will mean I will have 00:11:54.299 --> 00:11:59.860 my G1 Optimus and Megatron and my G2 Optimus 00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:04.000 and Megatron. Yep, yep. And J -Axis. But I've 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:08.460 customized all the G2s. You kind of had to, though. 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:14.879 So my G2 Prime is War for Cybertron Netflix Prime. 00:12:15.419 --> 00:12:18.139 Right. And so he didn't come with a trailer. 00:12:18.649 --> 00:12:22.789 and I customized the paint job and then added 00:12:22.789 --> 00:12:27.610 a G2 prime Autobot symbol, repainted the entire 00:12:27.610 --> 00:12:30.970 figure, like full detail, everything. And then 00:12:30.970 --> 00:12:35.070 I added his, um, his guns from his G2 trailer. 00:12:36.029 --> 00:12:39.330 Cause they're like bigger cannons. And then I 00:12:39.330 --> 00:12:42.110 gave him the jet pack from like G1 just cause 00:12:42.110 --> 00:12:47.950 it fit. I'm like, Oh, why not? Um, and he's, 00:12:48.330 --> 00:12:51.809 um sizing wise he is shorter and smaller than 00:12:51.809 --> 00:12:56.169 the studio series prime um but he scales well 00:12:56.169 --> 00:12:59.509 with like j -axis which was g2 and then the g2 00:12:59.509 --> 00:13:03.009 megatron tank which again i customized that because 00:13:03.009 --> 00:13:06.250 he has you know the the chest piece that attaches 00:13:06.250 --> 00:13:08.830 and then he has the over the shoulder cannon 00:13:08.830 --> 00:13:13.429 which i 3d printed and then um so now i have 00:13:13.429 --> 00:13:15.909 those and then once this megatron comes i'll 00:13:15.909 --> 00:13:21.220 have G1 Prime and Megatron and then I can kind 00:13:21.220 --> 00:13:26.759 of recreate their battle plus I have a third 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:32.320 party Prime head of course you do coming with 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:36.700 that lights up and it's from the movie whereas 00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:40.539 so I figured out what I mean we were discussing 00:13:40.539 --> 00:13:45.100 it last time a lot of the issue is this Prime 00:13:45.100 --> 00:13:51.799 head more so fits like previous like toys or 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.519 the comic type aesthetic or like almost like 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:59.559 like g1 g1 yeah i i had said i think it was the 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:02.960 last episode or maybe it was after maybe i said 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.259 this off air when we were doing because sometimes 00:14:05.259 --> 00:14:08.820 lately folks we just hop on camera either before 00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:10.940 or after the recording of the podcast and we 00:14:10.940 --> 00:14:13.600 do like behind the scenes stuff and i i showed 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.080 you and you showed me and i was like dude you 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.659 know what they did it's season one head versus 00:14:20.659 --> 00:14:24.100 movie head and i showed you the difference between 00:14:24.100 --> 00:14:26.960 the funko pop versions of optimus prime kind 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:28.980 of thing and you're like oh my god you're right 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.340 And that's kind of what they did with the SS 00:14:32.340 --> 00:14:36.519 86 prime head that they have on him of what you 00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.120 can buy in the store is it's probably a season 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:42.379 one version of Optimus Prime's head and not the 00:14:42.379 --> 00:14:48.840 movie versions. Now I will say that, yeah, there 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:54.620 are a few aesthetics missing, uh, paint wise, 00:14:54.779 --> 00:14:58.179 but it's very minuscule. And then seeing it in 00:14:58.179 --> 00:15:03.190 hand, It is better than what I expected. Um, 00:15:03.789 --> 00:15:06.049 but again, the head, I mean, there's nothing 00:15:06.049 --> 00:15:11.309 inherently wrong with it. Uh, but I do feel like 00:15:11.309 --> 00:15:17.889 it's, it doesn't fit. It looks more, do you remember, 00:15:17.990 --> 00:15:20.690 uh, when they did the, the Transformers, the 00:15:20.690 --> 00:15:24.149 movie anniversary DVD thing, and then they had 00:15:24.149 --> 00:15:27.350 the, the renewed art or for the, uh, IDW or not. 00:15:27.870 --> 00:15:30.750 idw shout factory season uh transformers generation 00:15:30.750 --> 00:15:34.929 one season one yeah that's what this prime looks 00:15:34.929 --> 00:15:40.490 like yeah for the head and so and so i i was 00:15:40.490 --> 00:15:44.370 like well i you know i'd like the actual aesthetic 00:15:44.370 --> 00:15:47.330 from the movie this megatron i don't see changing 00:15:47.330 --> 00:15:52.230 anything which is rare yeah um i mean yeah i 00:15:52.230 --> 00:15:54.490 could paint the feet to make them the darker 00:15:54.490 --> 00:16:01.070 gray but uh honestly like i don't like the upper 00:16:01.070 --> 00:16:04.210 torso looks perfect yeah so upper torso is great 00:16:04.210 --> 00:16:08.029 so i'm just like i think i'll let it pass on 00:16:08.029 --> 00:16:11.029 this one like it it looks good enough i mean 00:16:11.029 --> 00:16:20.029 um my studio series 86 prime is third party um 00:16:20.029 --> 00:16:23.429 so he has no autobot symbol on him so i put one 00:16:23.429 --> 00:16:27.080 of my reprolabel autobot symbols that i had nice 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:29.740 on his on his arms and then i'm waiting for the 00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:33.600 new head and then other than that it's it doesn't 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:35.379 come with the trailer it's kind of the key component 00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:41.440 yeah which to be honest they had the entire thing 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:46.139 for the leader pricing yeah instead of commander 00:16:46.139 --> 00:16:50.419 i would have went that route yeah but that's 00:16:50.419 --> 00:16:54.440 neither here nor there but um but yeah this megatron 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:59.659 is going to be stellar uh i've never seen studio 00:16:59.659 --> 00:17:02.600 series 86 prime in the store i am anticipating 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:05.380 there will be the same story with this guy oh 00:17:05.380 --> 00:17:09.079 i'm sure yeah i've rarely seen any of the primes 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:15.380 in in the store yeah so i'm wondering so my only 00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:19.099 question is with the with the reveal of the the 00:17:19.099 --> 00:17:22.019 reveal story studio series the official stock 00:17:22.019 --> 00:17:26.289 images Why there isn't a stock image of the Starscream 00:17:26.289 --> 00:17:29.990 thing next to him. So in that story, it shows 00:17:29.990 --> 00:17:34.730 five images of Megatron and then one image of 00:17:34.730 --> 00:17:37.670 Starscream holding Megatron as a gun. What I 00:17:37.670 --> 00:17:40.329 would have liked to have seen is another image 00:17:40.329 --> 00:17:43.329 of the Starscream next to the Megatron to see 00:17:43.329 --> 00:17:47.470 the size difference of those two things. Cause 00:17:47.470 --> 00:17:50.230 I don't know what size that Starscream is. And 00:17:50.230 --> 00:17:53.589 I, I don't think it's core class, but, and did 00:17:53.589 --> 00:17:58.529 they get rid of core class? Yes. Oh shit. Yeah. 00:17:58.609 --> 00:17:59.869 They got rid of that a while ago. So it's just 00:17:59.869 --> 00:18:06.069 a locks. It's Voyager. Commander in Titan. Okay. 00:18:06.529 --> 00:18:13.190 That's right. Huh? Hmm. Hmm. But that's Studio 00:18:13.190 --> 00:18:20.529 Series SS86 Megatron coming soon. I don't know 00:18:20.529 --> 00:18:23.990 when, when, but coming soon. I know they say 00:18:23.990 --> 00:18:26.210 on a couple of the Japan sites it's supposed 00:18:26.210 --> 00:18:33.609 to be like November in Japan. So that means highly 00:18:33.609 --> 00:18:38.809 likely.

So the stream recap we'll 00:23:30.450 --> 00:23:34.319 talk about next. I tried watching that stream 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:41.740 recap and as much as I like Mark, I don't know. 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:44.359 But anyway, they, they interviewed him and they 00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:52.579 asked him about a bunch of stuff. And all of 00:23:52.579 --> 00:23:55.200 these questions were like, this interview was 00:23:55.200 --> 00:24:00.180 done June 6th. So this was done before the live 00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:05.019 stream was done. And they asked him about specific 00:24:05.019 --> 00:24:07.960 generations. They asked him about age of the 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.480 primes. They asked him about just a bunch of 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:12.940 stuff. And we're not going to go through all 00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:14.460 of this because I think going through all of 00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:16.380 this is just crazy. Y 'all can go over to TFW 00:24:16.380 --> 00:24:21.579 2005 and read this for yourself. But what I did 00:24:21.579 --> 00:24:29.130 like about this was they. They asked him about 00:24:29.130 --> 00:24:33.970 Primus and doing that, and they asked him about 00:24:33.970 --> 00:24:39.970 a Unicron reissue or a whole new Unicron for 00:24:39.970 --> 00:24:43.210 the anniversary. And before I even looked at 00:24:43.210 --> 00:24:46.190 his answer for that, I'm like, a whole new Unicron 00:24:46.190 --> 00:24:49.750 for the anniversary? Like, the original one wasn't 00:24:49.750 --> 00:24:54.359 enough already? Before I even read the man's 00:24:54.359 --> 00:24:56.740 answer, I'm sitting here thinking this person, 00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:01.000 whoever asked him this question, I'm like, do 00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:03.400 you not know that that nearly broke the company? 00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:10.720 And that's literally what his answer is. Unicron 00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:13.720 broke our lead engineer the first time around. 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:17.920 I'd love to revisit it.

I've watched enough YouTube videos on 00:27:25.950 --> 00:27:32.230 people that have done their own vac metal. There's 00:27:32.230 --> 00:27:34.950 a definite process that they have to do to these 00:27:34.950 --> 00:27:38.950 figures and to the certain components. When they've 00:27:38.950 --> 00:27:40.849 3D printed them, for instance, they'll put them, 00:27:40.970 --> 00:27:43.490 sand them down, get them perfect, get them... 00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:46.119 you know kind of a a certain paint level and 00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:49.079 then they attach this like special paint that 00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:52.680 adheres to metal in certain circumstances they 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.079 soak it and then they you know it's cured with 00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.779 you know an electrical thing current and metal 00:27:58.779 --> 00:28:01.519 and then it adheres to it and then it's it cures 00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:04.140 and then you know so on and so forth so i get 00:28:04.140 --> 00:28:09.099 the issue and i have like i've seen old beast 00:28:09.099 --> 00:28:10.980 wars toys that still have the back metal on them 00:28:11.470 --> 00:28:13.549 and look fine and then there's other ones where 00:28:13.549 --> 00:28:18.190 they just peeled and flaked horribly um so i 00:28:18.190 --> 00:28:21.089 mean i get that it's a challenge in production 00:28:21.089 --> 00:28:24.170 but i wonder if it's a cost issue and so they're 00:28:24.170 --> 00:28:26.250 weighing how can we paint this in a way that 00:28:26.250 --> 00:28:28.309 makes it look metallic without actually being 00:28:28.309 --> 00:28:33.490 metallic so it holds up longer yep isn't there 00:28:33.490 --> 00:28:37.849 a metallic paint now that makes it i don't know 00:28:37.849 --> 00:28:40.069 makes it well metallic paint would make it look 00:28:40.069 --> 00:28:45.390 metallic but like isn't there a good enough metallic 00:28:45.390 --> 00:28:49.950 paint that isn't so expensive these days so like 00:28:49.950 --> 00:28:53.569 i've like i've just done like with my transmittal 00:28:53.569 --> 00:28:57.450 2 megatron the the wings i painted it with gold 00:28:57.450 --> 00:29:00.910 paint like and it gives it somewhat of a metallic 00:29:00.910 --> 00:29:04.269 look it's not 100 there but it's it looks better 00:29:04.269 --> 00:29:05.809 than that see -through crap that was on them 00:29:06.349 --> 00:29:12.049 And then I used this, it's almost like a glaze 00:29:12.049 --> 00:29:18.170 or like, like they have, um, red metallic flake 00:29:18.170 --> 00:29:24.089 is what it's called. Right. And I used that on, 00:29:24.490 --> 00:29:34.990 uh, my Transmetal 2 Megatron. And he, I mean, 00:29:35.009 --> 00:29:37.809 he's glossy, which I feel like if they just added 00:29:37.809 --> 00:29:39.690 gloss to some of the spots that are supposed 00:29:39.690 --> 00:29:41.829 to be metallic, that would fix some of the problem. 00:29:43.490 --> 00:29:48.130 But I feel like there's ways that they could 00:29:48.130 --> 00:29:54.269 kind of shirk it and give it that shine without 00:29:54.269 --> 00:29:57.710 necessarily making it the transmetal, you know, 00:29:57.730 --> 00:30:02.789 vacuum, you know, vacuum metallic. I don't know. 00:30:02.809 --> 00:30:05.710 I would like to see them try it again, especially 00:30:05.710 --> 00:30:08.950 if they were like, hey, let's make an updated 00:30:08.950 --> 00:30:14.069 Transmetal Megatron. Yeah. You know, because, 00:30:14.150 --> 00:30:16.549 I mean, that one is like the bane of everyone's 00:30:16.549 --> 00:30:20.630 existence of the original figure. Yeah. It wasn't 00:30:20.630 --> 00:30:25.730 terrible, but the scaling on it was horrid. Like, 00:30:25.730 --> 00:30:28.950 it was not scaled very well with even the Optimus 00:30:28.950 --> 00:30:33.160 Primal of that generation. of transmittal and 00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:37.779 and then on top of it like i mean inferno dwarfed 00:30:37.779 --> 00:30:40.779 over him and they were kind of head to head and 00:30:40.779 --> 00:30:43.960 you know dinobot even dwarfed over him and it's 00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:46.480 it's kind of like you know there was that and 00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:51.640 then he also had the issue with the uh gold plastic 00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:54.799 syndrome of the gps or in his case it actually 00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:57.119 wasn't gold plastic it was the brown plastic 00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:02.109 yeah which was super brittle and it just over 00:31:02.109 --> 00:31:04.190 the years like whatever that plastic was they 00:31:04.190 --> 00:31:08.609 use it just dried up and it would stop working 00:31:08.609 --> 00:31:10.630 with the hinges and then it would just seize 00:31:10.630 --> 00:31:14.569 up and it would snap off and i've had numerous 00:31:14.569 --> 00:31:19.150 ones of those uh i've i've had four of them over 00:31:19.150 --> 00:31:22.589 the years of that particular figure the takara 00:31:22.589 --> 00:31:26.250 one didn't break but it also was like 200 and 00:31:26.250 --> 00:31:29.329 then it's like okay so i can either get a takara 00:31:29.329 --> 00:31:34.410 one which is marginally better looking than the 00:31:34.410 --> 00:31:38.930 Hasbro one, which was the one that broke or I 00:31:38.930 --> 00:31:41.450 can get a third party, which is show accurate. 00:31:42.950 --> 00:31:46.329 And so that's where I would like to see like 00:31:46.329 --> 00:31:49.309 Hasbro do like kind of a show accurate, you know, 00:31:49.309 --> 00:31:53.390 like leader class transmittal Megatron.

Cause 00:38:01.230 --> 00:38:03.949 the stream recap is essentially the, those two 00:38:03.949 --> 00:38:07.050 things are exactly the same damn thing. So in 00:38:07.050 --> 00:38:10.750 the, in that other story link with the, the wave 00:38:10.750 --> 00:38:14.769 three has all of the images from the stream recap 00:38:14.769 --> 00:38:18.480 for the most part. As far as I can tell, because 00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:21.360 they're all the same damn images, as far as I 00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:26.639 can tell. But the stream recap. Okay, boys and 00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:30.639 girls, it's time to sit down. It's time to put 00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:33.860 some earplugs in and get ready because I'm about 00:38:33.860 --> 00:38:40.039 to go on a rant. Do people not know English anymore? 00:38:41.420 --> 00:38:44.400 And I'm not talking about kids who need to learn 00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:51.219 it. In school. Talking about actual adults. And 00:38:51.219 --> 00:38:57.139 it can't be me. It can't be. I read this four 00:38:57.139 --> 00:38:59.519 times. And I'm like, what are you talking about? 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:05.139 The title of the story. Transformers June 25 00:39:05.139 --> 00:39:10.099 stream recap. Full stop. I don't need to read 00:39:10.099 --> 00:39:12.840 anything else. The rest of the title is Aerial 00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:15.219 Bots, Primes, Revenge of the Fallen, Decepticon 00:39:15.219 --> 00:39:19.579 Pack, and more. But that first half. Transformers, 00:39:19.579 --> 00:39:26.239 June 25, stream recap. And I'm sitting here thinking, 00:39:26.420 --> 00:39:29.119 okay, maybe someone from England wrote this. 00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:31.639 Maybe this was blah, blah, blah. I looked at 00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:34.639 my calendar twice, and I'm like, it's not even 00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:38.400 June 25 yet. And I'm sitting here thinking. Oh, 00:39:38.539 --> 00:39:46.820 you mean June 2025. Do you people not know how 00:39:46.820 --> 00:39:49.300 to fucking write titles? Really? Seriously? You've 00:39:49.300 --> 00:39:52.239 been in this shit for 25 fucking years. Are you 00:39:52.239 --> 00:40:02.320 fucking kidding me? Oh my God. My head hurts. 00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:09.030 Like literally I sat here. getting the news stories 00:40:09.030 --> 00:40:11.690 ready for us to do this podcast i sat here for 00:40:11.690 --> 00:40:15.289 20 minutes reading this title trying to make 00:40:15.289 --> 00:40:19.590 sense i'm like oh that's what they mean and then 00:40:19.590 --> 00:40:23.050 i figured it was somebody maybe just joined the 00:40:23.050 --> 00:40:26.969 team of staff writers or whatever and i'm like 00:40:26.969 --> 00:40:29.650 no it's the guy that runs the freaking website 00:40:29.650 --> 00:40:32.550 that's ran the freaking website for the last 00:40:32.550 --> 00:40:34.869 20 i'm like oh my god it's the head guy that's 00:40:34.869 --> 00:40:40.039 doing this news article holy crap Oh, boy. Yeah, 00:40:40.179 --> 00:40:44.780 my brain broke. So looking through this article, 00:40:44.940 --> 00:40:48.400 it's basically just all the links for everything. 00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:53.559 And then they've just got screen caps from the 00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:59.380 livestream event with Nate and Mark from Hasbro. 00:41:00.019 --> 00:41:05.579 And most of their screen caps are... some of 00:41:05.579 --> 00:41:08.340 the pictures from like some of the product pictures 00:41:08.340 --> 00:41:10.440 and things like that and some of the ones where 00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:13.840 like there's one with nate and mark uh with with 00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:19.199 alpha try on which is kind of cool i find it 00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:21.940 weird and interesting that part of this if you 00:41:21.940 --> 00:41:25.320 start at the beginning of it where it has you 00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:28.420 know they start with oh transformers pulse fan 00:41:28.420 --> 00:41:31.880 stream june 10th blah blah and then you get the 00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:34.739 transformers And then you get Nate and Mark together. 00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:41.219 And then the fourth or fifth picture is before 00:41:41.219 --> 00:41:46.599 the first product shot of the Aerialbots here. 00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:51.400 It's just Nate with this scrunched up look on 00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:54.000 his face. Why would you put that in your news 00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:58.119 store? That's not an image you need to... I think 00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:00.320 it's because it says pre -orders start at 1pm. 00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:12.409 Yeah, but... like okay fine but if your screenshot 00:42:12.409 --> 00:42:15.610 like i and i watch this point where where he's 00:42:15.610 --> 00:42:17.989 talking about that i could have gotten a better 00:42:17.989 --> 00:42:20.289 screenshot to make sure the man's face wasn't 00:42:20.289 --> 00:42:25.360 looking like he was passing gas i don't know 00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:27.539 dude i'm not making fun of nate i'm not making 00:42:27.539 --> 00:42:29.599 fun of him i'm making fun of the fact that these 00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:32.760 people at tfw 2005 don't know how to do their 00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:37.500 job um but we're gonna skip over this because 00:42:37.500 --> 00:42:41.539 i just can't look at this title anymore just 00:42:41.539 --> 00:42:45.519 no but going into the wave three and looking 00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:50.360 at what wave three includes we have Voyager Alpha 00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:53.980 Trion, Deluxe Micronus Prime, Leader Onyx Prime, 00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:58.840 Deluxe Fireflight, Deluxe Skydive, Voyager Flatline, 00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:05.400 Deluxe Venom, and Sandstorm versus Slugslinger 00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:12.059 Tupac. So, what do you like the best? Alpha Trion. 00:43:12.219 --> 00:43:16.000 Oh, hands down. And the Autobots, or Aerialbots. 00:43:16.199 --> 00:43:18.900 Aerialbots, yep. Hands down. Like the rest of 00:43:18.900 --> 00:43:22.860 it, I don't care. Yep. Because Flatline is a 00:43:22.860 --> 00:43:32.119 redeco of a Transformers Armada character. And 00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:34.300 nobody gives a shit about Transformers Armada, 00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:41.820 stupid minicons. And then Sandstorm is a redeco 00:43:41.820 --> 00:43:48.079 from Thrilling 30. Because I recognize the toy 00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:49.900 because I looked at it as like, oh, would this 00:43:49.900 --> 00:43:55.280 work for Megatron? No, no. And then the other 00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:57.420 one, I think, is a redeco from around the same 00:43:57.420 --> 00:44:03.760 time. Yeah. And honestly, like I. I'm excited 00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:06.099 for the aerial bots just because they're finally 00:44:06.099 --> 00:44:08.460 going to get an update. Yeah, that's better than 00:44:08.460 --> 00:44:12.519 the Combiner Wars one. Absolutely. And then Alpha 00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:14.480 Triangle is cool. Plus, I mean, I know he's a 00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:18.659 redeco of Scourge. yeah but that's okay like 00:44:18.659 --> 00:44:20.559 it's a heavy to read echo because like there's 00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:24.739 enough that's different but um i don't know i 00:44:24.739 --> 00:44:26.719 i like the figure and then i like the fact he 00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:31.739 doesn't have this crap on it like the uh the 00:44:31.739 --> 00:44:36.139 part of the the wings on his back yep i was looking 00:44:36.139 --> 00:44:38.940 at it i was like oh the feet they work good i 00:44:38.940 --> 00:44:40.820 was like this actually would have been a good 00:44:40.820 --> 00:44:46.179 figure for you know my beast megatron And then 00:44:46.179 --> 00:44:47.860 I would have got the Covenant of Primus too. 00:44:50.860 --> 00:44:52.400 Somebody's going to have a 3D printed that at 00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:54.679 some point and then I'll just print it. Yeah, 00:44:54.679 --> 00:45:00.920 exactly. I really like the figure. I won't be 00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:05.519 buying it, but I do really like the design. I 00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:10.619 think it's weird that his Autobot symbol can 00:45:10.619 --> 00:45:18.230 be removed. question mark well i think he did 00:45:18.230 --> 00:45:25.289 that during like the part where prime oh that's 00:45:25.289 --> 00:45:28.489 right like when when they they did the back in 00:45:28.489 --> 00:45:33.090 time thing yep yep yep yep in in season three 00:45:33.090 --> 00:45:35.929 yeah i just the reason why i think it's weird 00:45:35.929 --> 00:45:42.050 is because when it is removed like there's not 00:45:42.050 --> 00:45:50.860 like it That part of his stomach, it just looks 00:45:50.860 --> 00:45:55.780 weird without it. Like maybe have a hidden rub 00:45:55.780 --> 00:45:58.219 sign back there or something. Like, I don't know. 00:45:58.219 --> 00:46:02.860 It just looks weird. That photo of him with it 00:46:02.860 --> 00:46:06.420 removed looks, I don't know, whatever. Anyway, 00:46:06.500 --> 00:46:09.960 but yeah, Alpha Trion and then the Aerial Bots. 00:46:10.239 --> 00:46:15.349 Oh, the Aerial Bots looks so good. yeah fire 00:46:15.349 --> 00:46:18.969 flight and we get skydive so very very awesome 00:46:18.969 --> 00:46:22.909 for those and yeah the rest of it's like and 00:46:22.909 --> 00:46:28.090 i'm like this flat line at first i thought at 00:46:28.090 --> 00:46:33.190 first i thought it was uh what the run amok uh 00:46:33.190 --> 00:46:35.909 run about run amok one of the two whichever the 00:46:35.909 --> 00:46:37.869 black one is i forget if it's run about or run 00:46:37.869 --> 00:46:42.289 amok but uh the twins from from from rebirth 00:46:43.469 --> 00:46:49.730 uh but yeah flat movie toys still don't it still 00:46:49.730 --> 00:46:53.769 don't interest me whatsoever and then no vending 00:46:53.769 --> 00:46:58.590 or venom whatever i do like the slug slinger 00:46:58.590 --> 00:47:02.489 uh sandstorm i like when they do two packs like 00:47:02.489 --> 00:47:06.730 that because again it's season three interesting 00:47:08.300 --> 00:47:11.039 What would be more interesting? Oh, I see. The 00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:15.820 Mini -Con can fit in the... Okay. Because Sandstorm 00:47:15.820 --> 00:47:20.659 has his capture cage for his helicopter thing. 00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:23.599 I was like, oh, it'd be kind of cool if... Yeah, 00:47:23.599 --> 00:47:25.559 Slugslinger's too big for that, but there's a 00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:29.059 Mini -Con that's in this. I forget what the name 00:47:29.059 --> 00:47:31.000 of the Mini -Con is, but there's a Mini -Con 00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:35.980 in this thing, so... Very cool, very cool. But 00:47:35.980 --> 00:47:39.260 yeah, this is all about Alpha Tryout. Hopefully 00:47:39.260 --> 00:47:42.199 this will be the end -all, be -all version of 00:47:42.199 --> 00:47:47.099 Alpha Trion. Oh, for sure. I mean, it's more 00:47:47.099 --> 00:47:50.960 like A3. It's not actually Alpha Trion. Is it 00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:55.460 really, though? Yeah, the body is A3. Yeah, but... 00:47:55.460 --> 00:47:57.159 That's why the Autobot symbol comes out. He doesn't 00:47:57.159 --> 00:47:59.079 have the wings. He doesn't have, like... Okay, 00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:01.480 okay. Like, there's a different look to the head. 00:48:02.300 --> 00:48:04.480 Like, this is A3. They're just calling him Alpha 00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:06.519 Trion because that's really who he turns into. 00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:10.019 Yeah. Maybe I need to watch forever is a long 00:48:10.019 --> 00:48:12.199 time coming after the show tonight again, because 00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:16.619 I remember a three being like, I don't remember 00:48:16.619 --> 00:48:21.360 his mustache being so white. I remember it being 00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:24.800 a lot darker because he was younger at the time, 00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:30.420 but there you go. Hey, there you go. Missing 00:48:30.420 --> 00:48:41.519 paint. Yep. Do we know? So I think it was probably 00:48:41.519 --> 00:48:49.840 in the other story. I was going to say, do we 00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:52.679 know what a price point on this guy is? Yeah, 00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:57.340 I'll look at that later. He'll be a Voyager class. 00:48:58.099 --> 00:49:06.590 Yeah.

And then we get 00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:19.219 the age of the primes four pack ultra Magnus 00:52:19.219 --> 00:52:26.519 bumper, horrible. And this is prime. So ultra 00:52:26.519 --> 00:52:30.340 Magnus redeco of legacy G prime bumper studio 00:52:30.340 --> 00:52:34.679 series, 86 bumblebee mold with a new head, horrible 00:52:34.679 --> 00:52:39.260 partial retool of, uh, TR. What the fuck is TR? 00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:45.860 Is it terrible or something? TR skull smasher. 00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:49.019 What the hell? I don't know. I don't know. I 00:52:49.019 --> 00:52:52.239 like the ultra Magnus. Yeah. Just because I actually 00:52:52.239 --> 00:52:54.539 did that with a G one prime back in the day. 00:52:55.380 --> 00:53:03.460 Yep. Um, but yeah. Yeah. The ultra Magnus looks 00:53:03.460 --> 00:53:06.940 great. And then that, that animated nemesis prom 00:53:06.940 --> 00:53:12.889 again, another reason why I wish. Optimus Scourge 00:53:12.889 --> 00:53:17.369 would freaking love this. When this was first 00:53:17.369 --> 00:53:20.610 announced, I didn't even look at it on TFW 2005. 00:53:20.889 --> 00:53:27.269 Again, I saw Proto Man's video over on his YouTube 00:53:27.269 --> 00:53:31.230 channel, and I was like, as soon as I saw him 00:53:31.230 --> 00:53:34.590 talk about it, my first comment was, I don't 00:53:34.590 --> 00:53:36.269 think I said fuck, but I'm going to say fuck 00:53:36.269 --> 00:53:38.710 here.

I don't think 00:55:11.579 --> 00:55:14.519 we saw... Well, these are all behind the scenes 00:55:14.519 --> 00:55:20.599 from Mark on Instagram photos of this. Have we 00:55:20.599 --> 00:55:24.639 seen that in alt mode? We know it's just a white 00:55:24.639 --> 00:55:29.440 Optimus Prime cab, but... Man, that blue axe 00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:38.760 really kicks your axe. Because, uh, damn. i i 00:55:38.760 --> 00:55:43.139 yeah no that's that's very very cool very awesome 00:55:43.139 --> 00:55:47.800 man that nemesis oh boy that's that's good and 00:55:47.800 --> 00:55:51.000 that is a new battle map uh that they're gonna 00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:55.480 reuse at some point for him oh for sure yeah 00:55:55.480 --> 00:55:58.860 and i like the i like that body sculpt for the 00:55:58.860 --> 00:56:03.820 tfa optimus oh yeah it's great um i just i mean 00:56:03.820 --> 00:56:08.190 i i like animated it's just not that's the prime 00:56:08.190 --> 00:56:10.650 i'm interested in so it's not one i would pick 00:56:10.650 --> 00:56:14.170 up but i do really like that design yeah absolutely 00:56:14.170 --> 00:56:19.349 so i do think it's funny though that they gave 00:56:19.349 --> 00:56:23.690 a little bit more paint deco detail to the nemesis 00:56:23.690 --> 00:56:29.690 version yeah well you kind of have to i mean 00:56:29.690 --> 00:56:33.909 because mainly he's black and yeah you have to 00:56:33.909 --> 00:56:38.869 because And his face is covered, so you don't 00:56:38.869 --> 00:56:46.730 have the expressive mouth. Because I'm looking 00:56:46.730 --> 00:56:52.030 at the two faces here, and I'm like, huh, interesting, 00:56:52.250 --> 00:56:57.309 yeah. And the interesting thing with the image 00:56:57.309 --> 00:57:01.570 between, basically it's the last image of the 00:57:01.570 --> 00:57:05.980 two of them up close looking at each other. His 00:57:05.980 --> 00:57:10.519 windows, Nemesis's windows, translucent see -through 00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:15.739 than Optimus's are. Optimus's windows are more 00:57:15.739 --> 00:57:21.119 blackout than translucent see -through. At least 00:57:21.119 --> 00:57:27.059 in this photo. So, yeah, but looks cool. Very, 00:57:27.119 --> 00:57:36.099 very cool. And then we got. Oh, it's just not 00:57:36.099 --> 00:57:40.159 last up, but it's just all videos of everything 00:57:40.159 --> 00:57:42.880 we've already talked about. So the Sandstorm, 00:57:43.219 --> 00:57:47.840 the Insecticon, the Aerial Bots, the Micron, 00:57:48.099 --> 00:57:52.639 the Alpha Trion. It's a story with all the video, 00:57:52.739 --> 00:57:58.679 all this and everything else. And it does have 00:57:58.679 --> 00:58:06.869 the... All the links to the stuff to buy the 00:58:06.869 --> 00:58:13.889 various toys that we've already talked about. 00:58:14.030 --> 00:58:16.289 And I was looking through here to see if they 00:58:16.289 --> 00:58:21.710 had the one for the Nemesis, but they don't. 00:58:22.389 --> 00:58:26.030 Off I try. Let's go to the only store that matters, 00:58:26.210 --> 00:58:35.550 Big Bad. Yes, I'm human. I'm not a robot. I'm 00:58:35.550 --> 00:58:39.070 human, damn it. I'm human. I'm more human than 00:58:39.070 --> 00:58:46.010 human. Seriously, really? Alpha Tria. Oh, that's 00:58:46.010 --> 00:58:52.809 not bad. Yeah, you're getting it. I don't know 00:58:52.809 --> 00:58:54.130 when you're getting it, but you're getting it. 00:58:55.530 --> 00:58:58.670 I'd rather wait and get the Studio Series Megatron. 00:58:59.130 --> 00:59:01.650 November. You're getting it. Shut up. You're 00:59:01.650 --> 00:59:07.230 getting it. Next story. All right. Coming up 00:59:07.230 --> 00:59:12.110 next, we get to finally to end this episode, 00:59:12.150 --> 00:59:15.150 at least the news section of this episode. On 00:59:15.150 --> 00:59:19.630 a depressing note, Paramount confirms no plans 00:59:19.630 --> 00:59:24.489 for Transformers 2. So there will not be a Transformers 00:59:24.489 --> 00:59:27.699 1 sequel. Reports are coming in that director 00:59:27.699 --> 00:59:30.739 Josh Cooley has confirmed that Paramount currently 00:59:30.739 --> 00:59:35.539 has no plans for a sequel to Transformers 1. 00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:38.980 This can likely be attributed to its unfortunate 00:59:38.980 --> 00:59:44.239 box office underperformance. With this, and the 00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:46.400 fact that the Transformers G .I. Joe crossover 00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:50.400 movie has had no updates, the future of Transformers 00:59:50.400 --> 00:59:53.760 movies at Paramount in general is looking shaky 00:59:53.760 --> 01:00:03.579 at best. that's sad i mean it wasn't it wasn't 01:00:03.579 --> 01:00:06.820 my favorite movie like but it was better than 01:00:06.820 --> 01:00:11.079 anything that the bavers gave us yeah i i would 01:00:11.079 --> 01:00:16.159 have easily taken uh another film or two out 01:00:16.159 --> 01:00:20.260 of this franchise absolutely and when i say franchise 01:00:20.260 --> 01:00:22.239 i mean they're like this rendition of the film 01:00:22.239 --> 01:00:27.260 series yeah yeah yeah yeah absolutely And the 01:00:27.260 --> 01:00:34.179 thing of it is, is, like, why not... I don't 01:00:34.179 --> 01:00:44.179 know. Why not just do something that, you know... 01:00:44.179 --> 01:00:50.539 Okay, so we've talked about this for years. We've 01:00:50.539 --> 01:00:52.320 talked about it on Geekcast Radio. We've talked 01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:55.269 about it on... A movie we can review at the time 01:00:55.269 --> 01:00:58.130 when we're doing MWire. Sometimes we talk about 01:00:58.130 --> 01:01:00.949 it on Studio 2009 now with movies and things 01:01:00.949 --> 01:01:05.670 like that. Why not? There are certain movies 01:01:05.670 --> 01:01:09.630 that underperform at the box office, but they 01:01:09.630 --> 01:01:13.349 are huge hits with physical media release or 01:01:13.349 --> 01:01:16.909 at least nowadays with whatever, like streaming. 01:01:17.210 --> 01:01:20.409 There are certain movies out there where they 01:01:20.409 --> 01:01:23.659 didn't find their... their success in theaters, 01:01:23.780 --> 01:01:30.760 but they're a huge hit after the fact. Why couldn't 01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:33.719 Transformers 1 be one of those movies where people 01:01:33.719 --> 01:01:37.019 find it? And again, like we said when we did 01:01:37.019 --> 01:01:42.159 that Transformers 1 episode, I think this is 01:01:42.159 --> 01:01:46.360 perfect for showing this to people who are not 01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:50.989 trans... This is a way to get people into Transformers. 01:01:50.989 --> 01:01:53.449 If they don't know anything about it and you 01:01:53.449 --> 01:01:56.889 want them to come in fresh with a fresh perspective, 01:01:57.349 --> 01:02:00.889 Transformers 1 was a fresh perspective. Oh, totally. 01:02:01.289 --> 01:02:05.070 Transformers 1 is something that doesn't have 01:02:05.070 --> 01:02:12.349 the 41 years of baggage. It sets up so many things 01:02:12.349 --> 01:02:15.130 and it works on so many levels and you don't 01:02:15.130 --> 01:02:18.809 have to worry about anything else. I don't know. 01:02:19.070 --> 01:02:22.849 But, okay, sure. You know, I guess Paramount 01:02:22.849 --> 01:02:27.150 just doesn't like money. Apparently not. That's 01:02:27.150 --> 01:02:33.469 not... But that's all she wrote, folks. That's 01:02:33.469 --> 01:02:40.050 all I got. Yeah, so... Yeah, I mean, I kind of 01:02:40.050 --> 01:02:42.889 talked about the Prime thing early, but... Well, 01:02:42.889 --> 01:02:48.239 no, it's fine. I mean, whatever. For me, I got 01:02:48.239 --> 01:02:51.679 to talk. I got to go on mute. Talk for a minute. 01:02:51.780 --> 01:02:53.719 Talk about your Prime thing. Talk about your 01:02:53.719 --> 01:02:59.380 no trailer. So I, as we talked about in the last 01:02:59.380 --> 01:03:02.559 episode of all things Transformers with the various 01:03:02.559 --> 01:03:05.960 Primes, there's the official one. There's various 01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:08.519 knockoff ones. There's very 30 third party ones. 01:03:09.099 --> 01:03:13.239 There's the. Third party knockoff one that has 01:03:13.239 --> 01:03:16.920 the trailer and the Starscream parts and the. 01:03:18.960 --> 01:03:23.679 The new comics Megatron arm that can attach and 01:03:23.679 --> 01:03:27.780 transform into it, and then they have a battle 01:03:27.780 --> 01:03:31.579 damaged piece that can be replaced on the side 01:03:31.579 --> 01:03:37.239 of Prime and. They also have like a part with 01:03:37.239 --> 01:03:44.110 his battle damaged head sculpt. But ultimately. 01:03:45.949 --> 01:03:47.849 And it comes with the trailer and everything 01:03:47.849 --> 01:03:52.650 else. I chose not to do that one because that 01:03:52.650 --> 01:03:58.909 one was like the same cost as the full Hasbro 01:03:58.909 --> 01:04:00.889 Studio Series one. I mean, it came with a lot 01:04:00.889 --> 01:04:04.949 more stuff, but one, it was it was a cost thing. 01:04:05.010 --> 01:04:07.050 And then two, it was like, I don't really want 01:04:07.050 --> 01:04:10.179 the trailer. Now, if they would have had. as 01:04:10.179 --> 01:04:11.519 i mentioned before if they would have had the 01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:14.940 studio series 86 prime for the same price that 01:04:14.940 --> 01:04:16.820 they used to sell the warfare cybertron prime 01:04:16.820 --> 01:04:20.360 of you know the the leader class instead of bumping 01:04:20.360 --> 01:04:24.940 them to commander i would have just bit the bullet 01:04:24.940 --> 01:04:29.039 and gotten that one um just so that it was 100 01:04:29.039 --> 01:04:32.440 authentic and it was you know but it ultimately 01:04:32.440 --> 01:04:34.579 was a price decision and i was like well for 01:04:34.579 --> 01:04:38.980 that i could buy a third party masterpiece Optimus 01:04:38.980 --> 01:04:43.039 Prime I could buy. And then the rumor mill started 01:04:43.039 --> 01:04:47.539 of the Studio Series 86 Prime without trailer. 01:04:48.320 --> 01:04:55.519 And for like 20, 25. And I was like, well, for 01:04:55.519 --> 01:04:57.320 me, that's like a hands down because all I wanted 01:04:57.320 --> 01:04:59.300 was the Prime. I don't have the space like the 01:04:59.300 --> 01:05:01.539 real estate. If I got rid of the stasis pod, 01:05:01.659 --> 01:05:03.880 I would have it. But that's not an option because 01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:08.400 I've waited 30 years to print that thing. or 01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:12.239 to have one and so i was it was like okay i'm 01:05:12.239 --> 01:05:15.420 i'm excited i have you know the prime from my 01:05:15.420 --> 01:05:20.280 childhood finally and uh and then getting the 01:05:20.280 --> 01:05:24.420 megatron will complete that and yeah so i mean 01:05:24.420 --> 01:05:27.579 i'll i'll have all the beast figures that i care 01:05:27.579 --> 01:05:32.579 to get and all the g1 g2 and unless um hasbro 01:05:32.579 --> 01:05:36.679 comes out with some machine war stuff or a beast 01:05:36.679 --> 01:05:41.059 machines, dragon Megatron or, um, in the cloak. 01:05:41.239 --> 01:05:44.800 I still want that display piece. Damn it. Which 01:05:44.800 --> 01:05:51.539 one? You know, which one?

But... But the pop analyst who I follow 01:13:55.340 --> 01:13:59.819 on Instagram first debuted this kind of thing, 01:13:59.920 --> 01:14:03.520 and this was done back on June 2nd.

It will be limited to 1 ,200 units with 01:14:10.979 --> 01:14:14.119 a certificate of authenticity. This new figure 01:14:14.119 --> 01:14:19.479 will be available for $250 USD via Funko's website. 01:14:21.899 --> 01:14:25.680 as of june 13th so it's already been available 01:14:25.680 --> 01:14:29.279 i don't know if it's sold out i don't think it 01:14:29.279 --> 01:14:34.739 has it did it did sell out unless they just marked 01:14:34.739 --> 01:14:39.720 it as sold out but um building hype early i don't 01:14:39.720 --> 01:14:42.880 know but i mean june 13th has already passed 01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:47.859 but i wanted to since i took the leap to funko's 01:14:47.859 --> 01:14:51.399 website i want to see if there's other really 01:14:51.399 --> 01:14:54.960 your website only has the really funko seriously 01:14:54.960 --> 01:14:58.279 i just searched jumbo chan on their website and 01:14:58.279 --> 01:15:00.079 the only thing that pops up is the optimus prime 01:15:00.079 --> 01:15:02.819 i wanted to see if the other figures would pop 01:15:02.819 --> 01:15:07.039 up but no just to show you the difference of 01:15:07.039 --> 01:15:14.100 but imagine this with like human like it's and 01:15:14.100 --> 01:15:18.909 i'm sitting here thinking Why do we need this? 01:15:18.970 --> 01:15:21.710 And especially, like, I get it. It's a 14 -inch 01:15:21.710 --> 01:15:31.210 figure. Okay, I understand that. But it's ugly. 01:15:31.710 --> 01:15:41.689 It's ugly as all sin. I don't need. No. It's 01:15:41.689 --> 01:15:53.180 no. Just no, don't, and stop. but uh but that 01:15:53.180 --> 01:15:55.939 was something that like and my my thinking is 01:15:55.939 --> 01:15:58.479 bunco what are you doing with the transformers 01:15:58.479 --> 01:16:07.920 license because outside of the the um the optimus 01:16:07.920 --> 01:16:11.899 and megatron two -pack outside of the oh i know 01:16:11.899 --> 01:16:18.010 what they released they released the um The Cyclonus, 01:16:18.050 --> 01:16:22.270 Hot Rod with Matrix, which I still need to get 01:16:22.270 --> 01:16:24.890 those two, and the Omega Supreme. Those are the 01:16:24.890 --> 01:16:27.409 only three that they recently released that I 01:16:27.409 --> 01:16:30.250 don't have yet. I don't even know if I want the 01:16:30.250 --> 01:16:35.029 Omega Supreme because it looks really bad. I 01:16:35.029 --> 01:16:38.550 don't know. Here's what the original Jumbo Chun 01:16:38.550 --> 01:16:41.289 Funko figures looked like. That's just their 01:16:41.289 --> 01:16:44.149 mascot, Freddy Funko. I put it in Facebook. uh 01:16:44.149 --> 01:16:47.449 but yeah no i looked at that and i'm like seriously 01:16:47.449 --> 01:16:50.670 really that's that's what you're doing with the 01:16:50.670 --> 01:16:53.510 transformer's license really like could we do 01:16:53.510 --> 01:16:55.369 anything else with the transformer's license 01:16:55.369 --> 01:16:59.329 like actually give us things we want and again 01:16:59.329 --> 01:17:06.449 i will be getting i will getting the um the hot 01:17:06.449 --> 01:17:11.109 rod with matrix and the cyclonus but i don't 01:17:11.109 --> 01:17:15.880 know what else they're gonna like So they did 01:17:15.880 --> 01:17:18.340 this big push cut, not big push, but they did 01:17:18.340 --> 01:17:21.680 this big thing where they released the ultra. 01:17:21.739 --> 01:17:24.659 So the, the lay, Oh, that's what it was. It was 01:17:24.659 --> 01:17:27.939 an NFT wave. No wonder they buried it in NFTs. 01:17:28.180 --> 01:17:31.539 They did the NFT wave with ultra Magnus, RC, 01:17:31.859 --> 01:17:37.140 Cheetor and Blitzwing. So you got three G one 01:17:37.140 --> 01:17:40.079 figures in a beast horse figure in there. And 01:17:40.079 --> 01:17:42.180 I talked about those on the previous, on previous 01:17:42.180 --> 01:17:45.680 episodes of the podcast. Then you got the line 01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:49.199 where they did the Optimus and Megatron Metallic 01:17:49.199 --> 01:17:56.699 2 -pack, which I think is a games topic. I'm 01:17:56.699 --> 01:17:59.560 looking at a table because I bought two of those, 01:17:59.640 --> 01:18:02.359 one in -box and one out -of -box. That's why 01:18:02.359 --> 01:18:04.100 that Megatron that you'll see in the photo that 01:18:04.100 --> 01:18:05.899 I send you later is out -of -box is because I 01:18:05.899 --> 01:18:07.899 have another one in -box. Because, you know, 01:18:07.920 --> 01:18:10.460 folks, as Transformers collectors, we need one 01:18:10.460 --> 01:18:13.899 out -of -box and one in -box. whether it transforms 01:18:13.899 --> 01:18:19.939 or not so there was that and then like i said 01:18:19.939 --> 01:18:25.020 they released these other ones and now i don't 01:18:25.020 --> 01:18:30.899 know what they're gonna do like every um every 01:18:30.899 --> 01:18:33.699 funko announcement so far this year so far i 01:18:33.699 --> 01:18:37.479 have not seen other than this funko jumbo chan 01:18:37.479 --> 01:18:44.340 i have not seen any new Funko Pop Transformers. 01:18:46.939 --> 01:18:50.539 Other than what I've already mentioned. So, yeah, 01:18:50.619 --> 01:18:53.760 I don't know. I don't know what they're going 01:18:53.760 --> 01:19:00.359 to do. Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like it 01:19:00.359 --> 01:19:05.140 either. I don't like these stupid figures. I'm 01:19:05.140 --> 01:19:07.699 waiting to see. Didn't they say they're going 01:19:07.699 --> 01:19:13.729 to have a Beast Megatron? That was a rumor. That 01:19:13.729 --> 01:19:16.850 was an announcement. Rumor, rumor, rumor, rumor. 01:19:17.829 --> 01:19:22.229 They started with Sheetor with NFTs. I'm hoping 01:19:22.229 --> 01:19:25.409 that Beast Megatron and Beast Optimus Primal 01:19:25.409 --> 01:19:29.470 and all that stuff would be mass retail release 01:19:29.470 --> 01:19:32.090 and not like if they do it as a store exclusive, 01:19:32.350 --> 01:19:34.789 like I said, Amazon, Hot Topic, GameStop, whatever. 01:19:34.829 --> 01:19:38.439 Fine. If they do it as a con exclusive, okay, 01:19:38.500 --> 01:19:41.100 fine. Those are sometimes a little harder to 01:19:41.100 --> 01:19:46.199 get, but they're so hard to get. But, I mean, 01:19:46.359 --> 01:19:51.760 I don't know. Looking on here and so far, the 01:19:51.760 --> 01:19:59.260 only ones that are that, yeah. So, yeah. I don't 01:19:59.260 --> 01:20:03.880 know.
