[Nocturn]

Must... listen... later...

[Ultra Maverick]

Can't wait to give this a listen!

I think this is a really great idea!

We are working that.

Just finished listing, and I loved it. Seemed a little long at first, but it was really nice to have all the time you need to talk about a topic. Awesome to hear some in-depth discussion on some topics rather than just a few lines in a forum. Can't wait for more!

Also, activators Megatron is tricky as hell to get into vehicle mode.

Holy snap Batman I went to bed after posting this and did not expect this many views/listeners when I woke up! Glad to hear people are enjoying the show...honestly I think if you liked this you'll like some of the other stuff we have coming. All we did was talk about ourselves which I would get bored of, since thats all we did, but the next few episodes should be really entertaining.

Like CoH said we're really working on getting it to work on iTunes just experiencing technical difficulties. In in the mean time you can DL this mp3, and have 2 options, listen to it on your computer, OR put it in iTunes and add it to your iPod manually. It won't go in the podcast section but will be under music with "Cybertron.ca" as the artist.

To answer the question raised during the podcast: Animated Swoop's flail lost its gimmick because it failed the Choke Test. Pulling on the flail chain activated pop-out flames. If a child partially swallowed the mace, pulling on the chain to get it out would end up deploying the flames and causing it to get even more stuck in the child's throat. Having no pop-out flames was thus determined to be safer than having pop-out flames.

Also: Given the distribution of Alternators, would Camshaft qualify as a Canadian exclusive?

[GMfan]

Thanks for sharing...I remembered it got removed for some reason and that rings a bell. As for Camshaft I'm gonna say no since some parts of the US got him as well...just really really badly. It'd be like saying Alternators Windcharger, Laserwave, Decepticharge, Battle Ravage are all US exclusives since we never got them.

Also of interest is apparently Energon Tidal Wave...he got very poor distribution in the States and can resell for $60-90 in the US.

[SPLIT LIP]

Now that I've listened to more, I didn't enjoy that as much as, say, WTF@TFW, but it wa sokay, mostly too much bashing of Animated and Uni stuff and just general dragging on. (as I find all podcasts seem to do)

Also, Sentinel Prime. Don't bash a figure until you actually HAVE it, maybe. Sentinel Prime is actually a fairly decent sized figure, taller than deluxe Prime. He just looks stocky alone because his legs are so wide.

I agree, I loved the Deluxe BC, but I would've liked a higher class.

So much hate for Soundwave. My SW stands fine. I wasn't expecting a bash-cast. Code of Honour was great in it, though.

[Code of Honor]

We are going to keep these to around an hour and no longer. I edited out over 20 minutes from this episode. I find a lot of the podcast I listen to that go well over an hour get really boring, so this way we can stay on topic and not drone on forever.

Cool, sounds like a device that could be used in the next Saw movie.
