One of the saddest moments of the G1 cartoon is that they didn't follow the Marvel series in terms of characters and story.That would have been cool to see,and(In my opinion)more tolerable to see G1.
I have yet to read the entire Marvel G1 series,but I do read some of the UK stuff.Thanks for informing me about the Marvel Dinobots origin,
now I totally get Spotlight: Shockwave :P
Considering that you are talking about favourite issues,the Time Wars saga is considerably my favourite.There's nothing better than seeing a dismantled Cyclonus,a headless Scorponok,and a mentally broken down Shockwave.
Since you guys speak of the Marvel G1 stuff,I suggest that in the
far far future you should get a Getting To Know the Quintessons
The first thing that came to my mind when I first heard of the Masterpiece line is 'Oh my God!The price!'I still hope to own one someday,but I consider it to be one of the last lines I'll buy.Oooh,Black Optimus,that's what I shall I get...still...I want a Masterpiece Shockwave...but God knows that won't happen.
Oh God,the 9/11 security issues.Such stupidity during those times,and I do recall that the R.i.D. English Episodes also suffered during those times.Things are better now,but I shouldn't get on topic with airport security and cartoon censorship.
Oh wow,hardly any love for Sunstreaker in terms of fiction.That's just sad.Wait,Shattered Glass Sunstreaker is what?!Okay,there is absolutely no love for this guy.
Thanks for the awesome Podcast guys.Now I go off and read the rest of the UK Omnibus.
