Bản chép lời đầy đủ của Transformers The Movie 40th Anniversary Apology Tour, Age of the Primes Figures, and Beast Wars Collectibles Review

00:06:12.850 --> 00:06:15.470 because I was like, I want to go back to that 00:06:15.470 --> 00:06:18.370 theme. Like, it was great. Like, yeah, even though 00:06:18.370 --> 00:06:22.209 it wasn't, I just knew my way around it so I 00:06:22.209 --> 00:06:25.970 could heavily hack it. And I liked the slider 00:06:25.970 --> 00:06:31.339 on it, which is my main thing. And I didn't need 00:06:31.339 --> 00:06:33.279 to know a lot of code. A lot of the stuff was 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.480 like just change the image that was in the placeholder 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.300 and it would modify everything. And so it was 00:06:40.300 --> 00:06:43.540 super simple. And I found a way of upgrading 00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:46.420 the slider for modern times. But at the same 00:06:46.420 --> 00:06:48.779 time, it's all this stuff's like super old and 00:06:48.779 --> 00:06:50.560 clunky. And it's like, if you don't keep up, 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.500 your site slows down. Google doesn't prioritize 00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:59.040 it. I can see. Like we had the idea for like 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.600 GCR and live way back in the day, you know, the 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.839 blogs, the product and empire still existed. 00:07:07.500 --> 00:07:10.879 And then there were multiple new versions of 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:15.680 it. And I think when I got to the point where 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.459 I was modifying it pretty extensively and had 00:07:19.459 --> 00:07:21.740 the show art along the sides of the website and 00:07:21.740 --> 00:07:25.339 it was the red and that was kind of like the 00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:28.779 five year mark. And it was good. And then we 00:07:28.779 --> 00:07:31.040 had like the content calendar. And then we moved 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:37.160 on to this other theme called Sahifa. Yeah. And 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:41.180 it was decent. And I was able to cobble and do 00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:42.899 some different things with the menus with it. 00:07:46.259 --> 00:07:50.379 And it wasn't bad. I just didn't always I just 00:07:50.379 --> 00:07:53.699 didn't love how it turned out. And then we got 00:07:53.699 --> 00:07:55.620 some other random theme and I can't remember 00:07:55.620 --> 00:07:59.300 what the heck it was called thereafter around 00:07:59.300 --> 00:08:05.079 like 2016. And that theme I thought was great. 00:08:05.899 --> 00:08:10.600 I say thought was great. It was a cluster. So 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:14.040 I ended up going back to the Sahifa. There's 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.819 a trend here. Yes. I went back to the one I knew 00:08:17.819 --> 00:08:20.569 worked. And I was able to get up and run it again. 00:08:20.709 --> 00:08:22.790 I tweaked it and I made it a little closer to 00:08:22.790 --> 00:08:29.889 the original version 3 .0. And then, uh, I went 00:08:29.889 --> 00:08:34.450 to, it was some other version of that other site. 00:08:35.629 --> 00:08:38.409 I don't remember what theme it was. It was something 00:08:38.409 --> 00:08:40.970 different. I was trying out and that didn't last 00:08:40.970 --> 00:08:43.929 long. And then I ended up going with, uh, this 00:08:43.929 --> 00:08:46.889 theme called Janna. Yep. Which was made by the 00:08:46.889 --> 00:08:52.110 same people that did the Sahifa. and it worked 00:08:52.110 --> 00:08:55.789 great like i got that in 2017 2018 kept that 00:08:55.789 --> 00:09:03.230 for years yeah uh got it pretty uh pretty customized 00:09:03.230 --> 00:09:06.690 got a lot of stuff in it like i moved away from 00:09:06.690 --> 00:09:10.570 all of their little templated stuff um and then 00:09:10.570 --> 00:09:14.570 i think it got to the point it was like the blue 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.759 the blue header or whatever on the top of the 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.980 site and it had a bunch of different grid crap 00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:26.259 and uh anyways we we had just done like a top 00:09:26.259 --> 00:09:30.320 100 around that time then i got i kept that until 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:36.340 about 2024 yeah 2023 maybe uh and we got some 00:09:36.340 --> 00:09:38.159 i don't even have like screenshots of the one 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:41.220 theme because it was so bad yeah it was really 00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:44.379 bad it was so bad in between the the jana one 00:09:44.379 --> 00:09:48.600 and the one we have now I bought that one. And 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.279 this is this is the thing that kills me with 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:57.000 these stupid themes. I paid. I literally did 00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:01.419 what I was supposed to do. Yeah, I paid for the 00:10:01.419 --> 00:10:06.399 theme. The Janna one originally. I tested it 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:11.139 with a bootleg. Yeah. And I was like, OK, this 00:10:11.139 --> 00:10:16.750 is going to work. And so I bought it. It was 00:10:16.750 --> 00:10:18.590 Chill News. That was the one that I said sucked. 00:10:19.350 --> 00:10:22.370 Okay. That was the one. I'm going through my 00:10:22.370 --> 00:10:25.990 stuff. That's why I couldn't find it. So Chill 00:10:25.990 --> 00:10:28.409 News has not... Oh, they've actually updated 00:10:28.409 --> 00:10:32.690 February 2026. I just don't like how it looks 00:10:32.690 --> 00:10:39.649 anymore. Yeah, it sucks. Anyways, I still own 00:10:39.649 --> 00:10:41.929 my copy, so I can download the newest version. 00:10:42.090 --> 00:10:45.970 It's just I don't have any use for it. No. the 00:10:45.970 --> 00:10:49.250 jana one i bought like i said back then but they 00:10:49.250 --> 00:10:51.870 updated their last update was in april which 00:10:51.870 --> 00:10:54.409 you know every month or a couple of months is 00:10:54.409 --> 00:10:58.830 fine yeah but when they go like beyond six months 00:10:58.830 --> 00:11:03.169 without an update yeah there's a question yeah 00:11:03.169 --> 00:11:05.529 and i bought this other one for when i was trying 00:11:05.529 --> 00:11:08.570 to start a home business like

this kulu one and 00:11:08.570 --> 00:11:13.210 uh that one updated even this year And I use 00:11:13.210 --> 00:11:15.289 that one for my personal site now. Megaphone 00:11:15.289 --> 00:11:18.730 was the one that that we bought. Yeah. In 2023. 00:11:19.429 --> 00:11:22.210 And they were like, oh, the audio player that 00:11:22.210 --> 00:11:24.909 always works. And, you know, no matter where, 00:11:25.049 --> 00:11:26.750 because I was looking for that feature on the 00:11:26.750 --> 00:11:28.549 website, I was like, I want it to work across 00:11:28.549 --> 00:11:31.100 pages. Yep, I remember that. And they were like, 00:11:31.179 --> 00:11:32.919 it works with all these different plugins and 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.899 it does, you know, it removes, like it was supposed 00:11:35.899 --> 00:11:37.700 to be like a smart plugin and it was supposed 00:11:37.700 --> 00:11:39.879 to help organize the hosts and the guests and 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.120 it was supposed to help organize the shows. It 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:46.360 didn't do any of that. It barely worked for like 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:49.000 our setup. Like it didn't work with Spreaker 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:53.559 very well. It didn't work with how we were set 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.980 up or what we were trying to do. Like it wasn't 00:11:55.980 --> 00:11:57.779 made for a network. It was made for like, yeah, 00:11:57.820 --> 00:12:02.799 I got a show. Yeah, it was made for the and this 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:07.080 is no disrespect to podcasters who just have 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.580 one show, but it was made for single show podcast. 00:12:11.740 --> 00:12:14.519 That's what that was made for. And that's great. 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:19.639 That's awesome. That ain't us. No. And it did 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:23.360 work, but they haven't updated since 2023. Oh, 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:28.769 God. Still, which is why. I really heavily looked 00:12:28.769 --> 00:12:32.929 into, okay, what do I do from here? You know, 00:12:33.029 --> 00:12:38.529 uh, and they've come out with new, that company 00:12:38.529 --> 00:12:41.289 has come out with new, uh, podcast themes, but 00:12:41.289 --> 00:12:45.169 again, they haven't done anything since 2023 00:12:45.169 --> 00:12:48.590 really. And so like, I, I lost kind of respect 00:12:48.590 --> 00:12:50.669 for using them. Whereas the Jonna one, I was 00:12:50.669 --> 00:12:55.600 like, Oh, I mean, It's one of the most popular 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:58.379 ones on ThemeForest. I mean, it's got 25 ,000 00:12:58.379 --> 00:13:05.279 sales. And a 4 .8 review system. And they're 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.159 pretty responsive to any issues and have great 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.379 documentation and templates and everything else. 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.000 A lot of variety, a lot of stuff you can play 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:19.000 with. Very easy to use configuration stuff. I 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.519 had to relearn how to use

it recently, but I'll 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.190 get into that in a minute. Um, and then we went 00:13:24.190 --> 00:13:33.409 to WP, uh, WP caster pro recently, or like back 00:13:33.409 --> 00:13:38.350 in, uh, 2023 or 2024. And they haven't updated 00:13:38.350 --> 00:13:43.190 since May of 2025. Jeez. Which is the theme we're 00:13:43.190 --> 00:13:47.899 on right now. And I'm like, okay. Um, I like 00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:50.679 it. Like, I like a lot of the features. I like 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:52.919 that you can toggle stuff, you know, drop down 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.500 seasons, series. It's got built in search engine. 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.539 It's got, you know, all this different stuff 00:13:58.539 --> 00:14:02.279 and you can toggle everything to it. But it also 00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:06.440 requires. Again, to do things how we want to 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:12.580 do it. It kind of required different sets of 00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:17.809 plugins and. different features that they didn't 00:14:17.809 --> 00:14:19.850 have and some of them they added in and some 00:14:19.850 --> 00:14:22.970 of them they didn't again not made for a network 00:14:22.970 --> 00:14:25.730 they had the non -stop music player which i've 00:14:25.730 --> 00:14:30.350 given up on uh at this point i'm just like uh 00:14:30.350 --> 00:14:32.909 i just want something that works that i control 00:14:32.909 --> 00:14:34.970 and i don't have to pay somebody every time something 00:14:34.970 --> 00:14:40.289 breaks yeah um and the site i don't know if people 00:14:40.289 --> 00:14:42.870 notice this it glitches out a lot at the start 00:14:44.460 --> 00:14:49.240 uh where it just gets massive yeah uh and that 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:52.379 drives me nuts like absolutely nuts because i'm 00:14:52.379 --> 00:14:56.220 like it should not do this it takes me about 00:14:56.220 --> 00:15:00.159 10 times of hitting f5 before i get a normal 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:04.360 version of the main page where it's not like 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:10.460 artwork isn't 10 times too big or yeah no it's 00:15:10.460 --> 00:15:16.419 but it is what it is So saying all that, I'm 00:15:16.419 --> 00:15:18.299 just going to tease. I am building a new website. 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.059 I am building it from scratch. I am porting over 00:15:22.059 --> 00:15:25.519 as much as I can from the current site. However, 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:32.700 this new site is so lean structurally and plugin 00:15:32.700 --> 00:15:35.360 -wise. I'm using half the plugins that I use 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:40.860 in the current site because I got tired of crap 00:15:40.860 --> 00:15:44.179 plugins and I've started developing my own. Yeah. 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:46.759 And I've been troubleshooting them. I've been 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:48.700 building them. I've been working on some of these 00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:53.019 plugins for going on three months. Some of them 00:15:53.019 --> 00:15:58.200

less time than that. Some of them actually are 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:00.899 active currently on the current site. I've just 00:16:00.899 --> 00:16:04.120 upgraded them and merged them into other plugins 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:08.120 that I'm developing. That being said, I'm trying 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:10.299 to get away from a lot of the subscription stuff. 00:16:10.379 --> 00:16:15.460 I'm trying to get away from. Things where I continually 00:16:15.460 --> 00:16:19.059 have to pay for. I'm also trying to get things 00:16:19.059 --> 00:16:23.320 that just work. I'm also trying to do things 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.419 because back when we started the site, I had 00:16:25.419 --> 00:16:27.960 to hand code everything. Nothing was automated. 00:16:29.539 --> 00:16:34.679 Nothing. RSS feeds were even hand coded. Nowadays, 00:16:34.820 --> 00:16:38.179 none of that's coded manually. I can go in and 00:16:38.179 --> 00:16:41.850 do things if I need to. I don't have the time 00:16:41.850 --> 00:16:44.429 I used to have some somehow I had the time. I 00:16:44.429 --> 00:16:48.009 don't know how I just did. Yeah. Nowadays, I 00:16:48.009 --> 00:16:51.470 have kids. I have job. I have like evenings where 00:16:51.470 --> 00:16:54.490 I'm like, I'm too tired and I just need things 00:16:54.490 --> 00:16:58.629 to work. And so. When people are like, it's not 00:16:58.629 --> 00:17:01.450 doing this, it's blah, blah, blah. I'm like. 00:17:03.730 --> 00:17:08.309 Like the current theme omitted. a ton of podcasts 00:17:08.309 --> 00:17:11.529 because there was overlap between series. Yeah. 00:17:11.809 --> 00:17:17.589 Which was a royal pain. And so the new the new 00:17:17.589 --> 00:17:21.289 site's got a brand new podcast system, never 00:17:21.289 --> 00:17:24.769 been seen, never been done before. It's got a 00:17:24.769 --> 00:17:27.470 brand new YouTube import system. It's got a brand 00:17:27.470 --> 00:17:35.670 new our geek meter is its own plug in. which 00:17:35.670 --> 00:17:38.309 integrates. I also have an IMDB thing. I also 00:17:38.309 --> 00:17:41.569 have like there's there's a ton. So we'll also 00:17:41.569 --> 00:17:44.910 be able to review like when we're reviewing like 00:17:44.910 --> 00:17:48.150 the next Transformers show or a Transformers 00:17:48.150 --> 00:17:51.230 movie or, you know, like an M wire where we had 00:17:51.230 --> 00:17:53.690 all these different, you know, where we rate 00:17:53.690 --> 00:17:55.730 them on the podcast. We can also rate them on 00:17:55.730 --> 00:17:58.349 the actual post of what our rating was in the 00:17:58.349 --> 00:18:05.319 podcast. So that shows up. Nice. So it can be 00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:07.099 searched for and everything else. So like this, 00:18:07.099 --> 00:18:09.140 this website is super lean. Like I said, it's 00:18:09.140 --> 00:18:12.099 super forward thinking. I'm super excited. I'm 00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:17.059 rebuilding all of the backend, which is taking 00:18:17.059 --> 00:18:20.240 forever because I didn't realize some pages haven't 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:24.240 been updated in five years. Yeah. That's longer. 00:18:24.619 --> 00:18:28.440 Yeah. So I'm, I'm literally going from like going 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:34.240 page by page.

But yeah, September 17th. 00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:31.259 uh in theaters transformers the movie the apology 00:20:31.259 --> 00:20:35.119 tour i love that they are leaning into this i 00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:38.000 think this is some of the best marketing hasbro 00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.700 has ever done when it

comes to transformers the 00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:45.940 apology tour this is so cool this is so fun uh 00:20:45.940 --> 00:20:50.019 because you asked a lot uh transmission received 00:20:50.859 --> 00:20:53.460 You can register your email on Fathom Events 00:20:53.460 --> 00:20:56.559 website to be notified when tickets are on sale. 00:20:56.859 --> 00:20:59.500 I actually went over to the Fathom Events website 00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:03.440 before we did the recording, not tonight, but 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.000 I've checked and they're not on sale or not like 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.579 I was checking to see in my area. Here's the 00:21:09.579 --> 00:21:12.059 thing about this event. I love that they're doing 00:21:12.059 --> 00:21:15.480 this for the 40th anniversary of the movie. I 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:20.269 only want the poster. So in the article in this 00:21:20.269 --> 00:21:24.670 on in the news article here, if you click on 00:21:24.670 --> 00:21:28.529 the image, they are, I guess, for a limited time 00:21:28.529 --> 00:21:33.250 giving away. I think the Transformers, the movie, 00:21:33.289 --> 00:21:37.849 the you know, this this giant poster here. I 00:21:37.849 --> 00:21:39.529 think they're giving it away. I could be wrong 00:21:39.529 --> 00:21:42.549 about that. So if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But like, 00:21:42.549 --> 00:21:46.829 I want that damn poster like. That's the only 00:21:46.829 --> 00:21:49.450 thing I want about this, because I saw the movie 00:21:49.450 --> 00:21:53.190 for the 35th anniversary of it when it was in 00:21:53.190 --> 00:21:55.990 theaters for the limited time event. I don't 00:21:55.990 --> 00:21:58.990 need to see Transformers the movie again in theaters 00:21:58.990 --> 00:22:03.089 for the 40th. Again, for those that have never 00:22:03.089 --> 00:22:05.890 seen it, that's awesome. That's amazing. That's 00:22:05.890 --> 00:22:08.890 great. But the fact that they're doing this 40th 00:22:08.890 --> 00:22:11.869 anniversary apology tour poster, give me that. 00:22:11.970 --> 00:22:14.480 I want it. I don't care what I have to pay for 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:17.000 it. If I have to pay somebody for it. And yes, 00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:20.740 I am serious. So anyone out there that ends up 00:22:20.740 --> 00:22:24.980 with an extra one, let me know because I want 00:22:24.980 --> 00:22:27.579 it. It has to go with the rest of my Transformers 00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:29.680 posters that you can't see because my camera 00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:36.119 is not on. I depending on I hope it's in our 00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:40.819 theater here. Yeah, no, absolutely. Because you'll 00:22:40.819 --> 00:22:46.779 take your kids. I 100 % will. Yeah. And I didn't 00:22:46.779 --> 00:22:48.380 get to see it when it was in theater last time. 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:53.720 Yeah, OK. I really, really want to see this one 00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:57.420 in theater just because it's an experience. And 00:22:57.420 --> 00:23:00.160 absolutely. Yep. I think that it's great that 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.079 they're re -releasing it. I think that this is 00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:08.579 something very cool. Absolutely. I'm definitely 00:23:08.579 --> 00:23:12.269 going to be down for. Checking this out when. 00:23:14.390 --> 00:23:16.670 When it comes to the theater, I just I'm hoping 00:23:16.670 --> 00:23:19.369 that it comes to something that I have locally. 00:23:20.549 --> 00:23:28.190 Typically. They have. Yeah. But again, I don't 00:23:28.190 --> 00:23:32.569 know. It's like Fathom's website doesn't even 00:23:32.569 --> 00:23:36.369 list it. I mean, it lists it, but it doesn't 00:23:36.369 --> 00:23:41.049 have it as. available to see when it'll be available 00:23:41.049 --> 00:23:46.190 like it's there it's just not you just can't 00:23:46.190 --> 00:23:50.210 look any any area up yet yeah it just says uh 00:23:50.210 --> 00:23:54.109 uh enter with your email to be notified when 00:23:54.109 --> 00:23:57.990 tickets are on sale yeah it's not yeah i'm sure 00:23:57.990 --> 00:24:03.630 that'll happen probably closer to maybe august 00:24:03.630 --> 00:24:11.759 maybe maybe late july I don't know yet. But yeah, 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:16.160 I'm super excited for this. Looking forward to 00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:24.720 it. Yep. And then we have Age of the Primes Sentinel 00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:33.220 Prime Artifact Pack First Look. So Sentinel Prime, 00:24:33.460 --> 00:24:39.859 he looks like he's a retool of... That female 00:24:39.859 --> 00:24:47.240 Decepticon tank. Oh, OK. Can't remember her name 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:51.680 right now, but. Oh, yeah, I don't remember either. 00:24:51.779 --> 00:24:58.460 With the Decepticon face. Yeah. Oh. No, it's 00:24:58.460 --> 00:25:02.400 not coming to me. But what I do like about this 00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:06.259 is the golden disc thing. That's cool. The shield. 00:25:06.750 --> 00:25:09.910 The shield? Oh, it's a shield. Jesus. It's a 00:25:09.910 --> 00:25:12.690 shield, and it's empty, so he can put the Matrix 00:25:12.690 --> 00:25:14.829 in it. He can put all of the different Primes 00:25:14.829 --> 00:25:18.309 weapons. Although, with them all attached, it 00:25:18.309 --> 00:25:22.250 looks stupid. Yeah, that does look a little dumb. 00:25:22.250 --> 00:25:26.630 It looks 100 % stupid. I like the Covenant of 00:25:26.630 --> 00:25:31.789 Primus. Yeah. I like that. I like the Matrix 00:25:31.789 --> 00:25:37.329 being in there. I like the Matrix sword. yeah 00:25:37.329 --> 00:25:40.289 uh but otherwise i don't care for the rest of 00:25:40.289 --> 00:25:42.329 the weapons but i think it's it's kind of neat 00:25:42.329 --> 00:25:45.750 though that it says what prime had what gear 00:25:45.750 --> 00:25:49.069 and then you can stick it to it yeah that is 00:25:49.069 --> 00:25:55.549 very cool but god the alt mode on this thing 00:25:55.549 --> 00:25:59.349 it's just ugly It is ugly because I was looking

00:25:59.349 --> 00:26:01.930 at it. I was like, because I've continually looked. 00:26:02.009 --> 00:26:04.390 I'm like, if there was ever a better figure to 00:26:04.390 --> 00:26:07.170 do my pre beast Megatron, like I'm always on 00:26:07.170 --> 00:26:10.670 the lookout. Yeah, because like the feet on this 00:26:10.670 --> 00:26:13.829 do, you know, become the front of it like that 00:26:13.829 --> 00:26:16.930 Megatron. However, the rest of it looks but ugly 00:26:16.930 --> 00:26:20.210 and doesn't smooth out. It just looks. Yeah, 00:26:20.269 --> 00:26:22.349 I mean, his robot mode is pretty solid. Like 00:26:22.349 --> 00:26:24.769 I like the robot mode, but yeah, the robot was 00:26:24.769 --> 00:26:30.549 good. Yeah. yeah yeah the the vehicle mode for 00:26:30.549 --> 00:26:35.089 this it looks like a combination snowmobile meets 00:26:35.089 --> 00:26:39.670 trash compactor like the ass end of this thing 00:26:39.670 --> 00:26:42.630 like they put the shield on the back like a spare 00:26:42.630 --> 00:26:46.529 tire and then the rest of it looks like a garbage 00:26:46.529 --> 00:26:49.750 truck meanwhile the front end of the thing looks 00:26:49.750 --> 00:26:56.079 like a snowmobile like Like, why would I want 00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:59.279 this in my collection? Like I said, just give 00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:01.700 me the shield. Like, I don't even need the rest 00:27:01.700 --> 00:27:04.380 of the artifacts. I just want the shield. Maybe 00:27:04.380 --> 00:27:07.039 the matrix for the center of the shield. But, 00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:11.440 like, yeah, I don't know about this thing. I 00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:18.519 don't. Let me see. Does not give a price on this, 00:27:18.700 --> 00:27:20.920 but I'm sure we'll find that out much later. 00:27:21.630 --> 00:27:24.750 And again, folks, this news is old. We know this 00:27:24.750 --> 00:27:29.869 article was May 18th of this year, but this is 00:27:29.869 --> 00:27:35.809 what it is. Up next, we have the Age of the Primes 00:27:35.809 --> 00:27:40.390 Generation Selects Autobot 3 -Pack Mirage Ironhide 00:27:40.390 --> 00:27:43.970 and Blue Streak in -hand images. They look good. 00:27:46.569 --> 00:27:50.730 So these, I think, correct me if I'm wrong, these 00:27:50.730 --> 00:27:56.119 are retools or repaints of the ones that were 00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:59.319 released for Studio Series. Hasbro China just 00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:02.680 livestreamed their official... Okay, I can't 00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:05.839 pronounce any of that. New Transformers Age of 00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:12.299 the Progeners. Unboxing of these. Multipack. 00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:15.700 Closer look at these re -releases with improved 00:28:15.700 --> 00:28:21.259 deco. Mirage features some retools. And yeah, 00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:24.299 so these are re -releases, but they still look 00:28:24.299 --> 00:28:28.500 good. Well, they still look cool. Let me put 00:28:28.500 --> 00:28:30.519 it this way. I wanted the

Ironhide, but I also 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:36.980 didn't want to spend $40. I got lucky when I 00:28:36.980 --> 00:28:41.700 was in Florida. Yeah. I went to, because we had 00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:43.579 to go grocery shopping for something. We needed 00:28:43.579 --> 00:28:45.859 something, and we ended up stopping in an Ollie's. 00:28:46.579 --> 00:28:49.089 Right. which we don't have out in Colorado. We 00:28:49.089 --> 00:28:51.289 had one in Michigan, but it was crap. Like, it 00:28:51.289 --> 00:28:56.329 was just junk. This one was halfway decent in 00:28:56.329 --> 00:29:02.329 Florida, but they had the Beast Wars Flip Transform 00:29:02.329 --> 00:29:07.309 Terrorsaur on clearance for $9. Okay. And they 00:29:07.309 --> 00:29:13.589 had the Core Class Studio Series 86 Ironhide. 00:29:14.569 --> 00:29:19.849 Ah, I gotcha. Five dollars. My God. I picked 00:29:19.849 --> 00:29:22.829 him up. I was like, don't I was like, don't care 00:29:22.829 --> 00:29:25.049 what you think. I'm getting. Yeah. Yeah. And 00:29:25.049 --> 00:29:27.430 now I have a little figure to go against my little 00:29:27.430 --> 00:29:31.930 star screen. But I can do both voices. So that's 00:29:31.930 --> 00:29:34.950 kind of. There you go. Fun for me. I'm like, 00:29:34.950 --> 00:29:38.069 I can do the voice of the little guy. But yeah, 00:29:38.170 --> 00:29:41.970 I think these are cool. I mean, I don't. I don't 00:29:41.970 --> 00:29:44.779 collect a lot of. G1 figures like Beast Wars 00:29:44.779 --> 00:29:47.700 is kind of my jam, but I will get the occasional 00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:57.680 G1 like. 86 Megatron and Prime. Yeah. But. But 00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:00.900 no, I mean, I think I like these three packs, 00:30:01.019 --> 00:30:03.259 but I also don't because it's kind of like, what 00:30:03.259 --> 00:30:07.039 if I only want one? Yeah, that's the problem. 00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:11.440 Like, I don't see I don't see Mirage selling 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:14.980 that well by himself or Blue Streak. Ironhide, 00:30:15.019 --> 00:30:24.059 I do. Yeah. Yeah, Ironhide definitely would sell 00:30:24.059 --> 00:30:26.819 well by himself, especially since he actually 00:30:26.819 --> 00:30:30.799 has a head now. Oh, yeah. But yeah, these are 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:34.299 these are still cool. I don't care. Like. I mean, 00:30:34.299 --> 00:30:35.900 if I saw my clearance, I would definitely pick 00:30:35.900 --> 00:30:39.079 them up, but I never see most these. multi -packs 00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:46.740 since um this is why i hate tfw sometimes they're 00:30:46.740 --> 00:30:50.460 like oh look we can finally reveal this i should 00:30:50.460 --> 00:30:52.220 have just put this at the beginning with this 00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:56.000 news story the pre -orders for all this stuff 00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:06.680 um i'm just trying to find the the the price 00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:17.789 for Some of the Legends 3 -pack. And the Sentinel 00:31:17.789 --> 00:31:28.150 thing. The 3 -pack is at Big Bad Toy Store for... 00:31:28.150 --> 00:31:32.900 If it'll load. Oh, wow, really? Their link didn't 00:31:32.900 --> 00:31:35.420 even go to the actual thing. It just went to 00:31:35.420 --> 00:31:40.019 Big Bad Toy Store's main page. That's dumb. Well, 00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:42.319 sorry, folks. Can't give you that information 00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:48.319 because it didn't even work properly. Anyway, 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:59.329 that's dumb. All right, moving on. Oh, yeah, 00:31:59.470 --> 00:32:03.829 more about the Apology Tour, the album and the 00:32:03.829 --> 00:32:08.910 stuff, the soundtrack reformatted edition. I 00:32:08.910 --> 00:32:11.309 love that they're doing this for merchandising. 00:32:11.309 --> 00:32:13.690 I love that they're doing it as a CD. I love 00:32:13.690 --> 00:32:17.230 they're doing it as a LP record. I love they're 00:32:17.230 --> 00:32:19.450 doing it as a cassette. And I love that there's 00:32:19.450 --> 00:32:21.309 a T -shirt, even though I know there's not going 00:32:21.309 --> 00:32:23.390 to be a T -shirt that's going to fit me because 00:32:23.390 --> 00:32:27.210 I need like a 6 or a 7XL. That's fine. I love 00:32:27.210 --> 00:32:29.650 that they're doing it. At this point, I just 00:32:29.650 --> 00:32:32.890 want the digital to hit Spotify or whatever so 00:32:32.890 --> 00:32:37.049 I can at least listen to it. Because I'm curious 00:32:37.049 --> 00:32:40.910 more than anything else. I kind of heard the 00:32:40.910 --> 00:32:43.950 Knights of Unicron featuring Stan Bush digital 00:32:43.950 --> 00:32:48.049 edition for the touch. I didn't really listen 00:32:48.049 --> 00:32:50.329 to it, listen to it because I want the whole 00:32:50.329 --> 00:32:53.970 album to be released on digital so I can listen 00:32:53.970 --> 00:32:57.630 to the whole album. But what this is, is the 00:32:57.630 --> 00:33:03.079 original Transformers, the movie 1986. 10 song 00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:07.220 album. It's not anything else other than that. 00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:11.039 It's just the original album that was released 00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:14.660 with the movie. It's not Vince DeCola's score 00:33:14.660 --> 00:33:17.420 or, you know, the full score from the film. It's 00:33:17.420 --> 00:33:20.759 just the original soundtrack album. So you got 00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:24.119 The Touch, Instruments of Destruction, Death 00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:27.299 of Optimus Prime, Dare. Nothing's going to stand 00:33:27.299 --> 00:33:31.180 in our way. Transformers theme, escape, hunger, 00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:34.299 Autobot Decepticon battle, and dare to be stupid. 00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:39.220 And this is all done by Knights of Unicron. They 00:33:39.220 --> 00:33:43.259 do have some featured artists with the Knights 00:33:43.259 --> 00:33:46.940 of Unicron on specific tracks and things like 00:33:46.940 --> 00:33:51.279 that. Again, I think all the stuff they're doing 00:33:51.279 -->

00:33:54.279 for the 40th anniversary of the movie is awesome. 00:33:55.990 --> 00:33:59.190 Absolutely. I'm in all support of it. It's just 00:33:59.190 --> 00:34:01.869 I'm not going back to see the movie in theaters 00:34:01.869 --> 00:34:06.690 because I already saw it. But, you know, everything 00:34:06.690 --> 00:34:10.429 else I'm in full support of. It's just for me, 00:34:10.610 --> 00:34:15.869 I just need to hear the songs digitally. I don't 00:34:15.869 --> 00:34:18.690 need a physical copy because, I mean, I do have 00:34:18.690 --> 00:34:25.440 a CD player over there. That's fine. uh all the 00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:30.800 i do love all the all the pre -ordered uh um 00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:36.780 vinyls i do love all of them how they're all 00:34:36.780 --> 00:34:39.539 different and i think the target one is the is 00:34:39.539 --> 00:34:43.619 the uh decepticon purple vinyl i think i would 00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:47.800 only buy that just because it's decepticon purple 00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:51.780 and just to have it as a As a display piece, 00:34:51.900 --> 00:34:54.039 even though I don't have a record player. Yeah, 00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:59.340 the target one is Decepticon Purple for the record 00:34:59.340 --> 00:35:06.739 itself. It's $30. Now, I do wish they did more 00:35:06.739 --> 00:35:11.340 with Beast Wars. Yes, that's the other thing 00:35:11.340 --> 00:35:14.679 that's been coming up this year. They are, they 00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:22.039 as in Hasbro, have basically... Seemingly, they're 00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:28.360 all in on the movie 40th promotion, and we're 00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:34.179 already at June. We're six months into the year, 00:35:34.219 --> 00:35:42.320 and there's nothing for Beasties. The year's 00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:45.360 half over, and there's nothing for the 30th anniversary 00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:48.820 for Beasties whatsoever. Or at least that we 00:35:48.820 --> 00:35:51.840 know of. Well, so far, that's what I'm saying. 00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:54.960 The year's half over, and so far, from what I 00:35:54.960 --> 00:36:02.599 can tell, Beasties ain't got nothing. They did 00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:07.840 show off in -hand images of the Sentinel. I did 00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:11.960 want to bring that up, because it does show in 00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:15.480 -hand images of the Golden Disk thing. That's 00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:17.699 the only reason why I wanted to bring it up is 00:36:17.699 --> 00:36:20.340 to see the, because I don't really care about 00:36:20.340 --> 00:36:23.820 seeing the snow plow in hand. The robot mode 00:36:23.820 --> 00:36:27.219 does look really cool, but man, that golden disc 00:36:27.219 --> 00:36:33.159 looks cool. It looks really cool. I'm just waiting 00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:36.380 for somebody to have a 3D print available. Yeah, 00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:45.190 exactly. And it will. Yeah, and it will. that's 00:36:45.190 --> 00:36:49.789 funny yeah and then uh and then

of course we 00:36:49.789 --> 00:37:04.489 have we have uh ceo yeah the ceo talking about 00:37:04.489 --> 00:37:08.730 video game initiative which it's it's kind of 00:37:08.730 --> 00:37:13.309 funny because they have these huge ambitions 00:37:13.309 --> 00:37:15.929 around games and yet they canceled transformers 00:37:15.929 --> 00:37:21.449 reactivate it was a snake eyes game it's like 00:37:21.449 --> 00:37:28.010 okay are you figuring out that maybe it wasn't 00:37:28.010 --> 00:37:32.210 a great idea on some of the stuff like i don't 00:37:32.210 --> 00:37:36.949 know like i i still enjoy the older transformers 00:37:36.949 --> 00:37:39.150 games you know i look at the playstation 2 we 00:37:39.150 --> 00:37:42.300 had uh the transformers armada game which was 00:37:42.300 --> 00:37:46.920 probably one of my favorite games outside of 00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:51.079 War for Cybertron. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I loved 00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:54.179 that game. It was difficult, but I loved that 00:37:54.179 --> 00:37:56.760 game. And the Beast Wars game was atrocious, 00:37:56.820 --> 00:37:58.820 but it was great when you played online on the 00:37:58.820 --> 00:38:03.300 MSN Gaming Zone four -player deathmatch. I was 00:38:03.300 --> 00:38:07.440 good at that. But because the game was so terrible 00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:11.360 and it was on dial -up, I was really good at 00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:16.460 it. Cause lag was an awesome thing for me. Cause 00:38:16.460 --> 00:38:20.820 I had a 56 K modem and mine actually went 56 00:38:20.820 --> 00:38:27.300 K. But yeah, I don't know. Like the, the stuff 00:38:27.300 --> 00:38:29.019 I was seeing for the reactivate looked really 00:38:29.019 --> 00:38:31.800 good and I was kind of hoping for it. I, you 00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:35.280 know, we have reported on like stuff about steam 00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:37.440 or some of these other sources possibly getting 00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:40.800 access to the war for cyber trying games again. 00:38:41.530 --> 00:38:46.070 Yeah. Because there's no way to get them at the 00:38:46.070 --> 00:38:53.929 moment. But yeah, I don't know. I think they 00:38:53.929 --> 00:38:59.530 need to figure out where their focus is. Yep. 00:38:59.610 --> 00:39:02.030 Because even some of their toys, like I mean, 00:39:02.050 --> 00:39:05.130 and I've said this for years, they overproduce 00:39:05.130 --> 00:39:10.369 stuff that is shelf warmers. and they underproduce 00:39:10.369 --> 00:39:12.170 the stuff that's going to actually sell off the 00:39:12.170 --> 00:39:17.690 shelf. Yep, pretty much. The crossover is only 00:39:17.690 --> 00:39:20.690 hit for people that want that stuff. Like, I'm 00:39:20.690 --> 00:39:24.230 only interested in that frequency because transformed 00:39:24.230 --> 00:39:27.670 into robot mode, he looks almost like my Ultimis 00:39:27.670 --> 00:39:33.489 Prime mascot. Yep. And in that initiative, I'm 00:39:33.489 --> 00:39:37.389 all for it. But... Like

I don't care about stranger 00:39:37.389 --> 00:39:40.409 things at all. I just, the design fits really 00:39:40.409 --> 00:39:46.789 well with my initiative there. Uh, so yeah, I 00:39:46.789 --> 00:39:51.110 don't know. I, um, it'll be interesting to see 00:39:51.110 --> 00:39:55.130 what they do, but I, I don't, I don't foresee 00:39:55.130 --> 00:40:01.349 anything good coming out of it. Um, now I, I 00:40:01.349 --> 00:40:03.309 will say, cause there has been some beast war 00:40:03.309 --> 00:40:06.789 stuff. Uh, just, we didn't, Put it in our... 00:40:06.789 --> 00:40:12.329 I got it. The Yolo Park Megatron and Blackarachnia. 00:40:13.309 --> 00:40:16.590 We'll get to that one in a minute. The Takara 00:40:16.590 --> 00:40:21.170 New Legends has Beast Wars 2 Galvatron. Ah, okay. 00:40:21.690 --> 00:40:24.090 It's an entirely new mold. It looks just like 00:40:24.090 --> 00:40:27.329 him. It's a pretty awesome figure, actually. 00:40:29.070 --> 00:40:31.969 They dropped images to that. They're also going 00:40:31.969 --> 00:40:35.000 to be releasing... more Beast Wars 2 figures, 00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:40.900 one of them being Megastorm. And if you are not 00:40:40.900 --> 00:40:43.260 familiar with Megastorm, he's supposed to be 00:40:43.260 --> 00:40:47.559 the brother of Gigastorm or Galvatron in this. 00:40:48.219 --> 00:40:55.659 Beast Wars 2 Galvatron. He's basically G2 or 00:40:55.659 --> 00:41:00.349 a G2 Megatron, like the tank. right right which 00:41:00.349 --> 00:41:02.929 means we're gonna get a proper g2 megatron tank 00:41:02.929 --> 00:41:09.949 nice instead of like i mean i i took the uh forget 00:41:09.949 --> 00:41:11.650 what it was called at the time they were the 00:41:11.650 --> 00:41:17.090 they weren't legends they were something else 00:41:17.090 --> 00:41:20.969 universe line i don't know uh it was a world 00:41:20.969 --> 00:41:24.369 for cybertron repaint of g1 megatron into g2 00:41:24.369 --> 00:41:30.059 megatron and in order to make him comic accurate 00:41:30.059 --> 00:41:34.019 i 3d printed his shoulder holster i bought the 00:41:34.019 --> 00:41:38.739 chest plate on ebay and then did all the little 00:41:38.739 --> 00:41:42.880 3d print add -ons and some decal packs and now 00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:47.300 he looks like g2 megatron uh may not get that 00:41:47.300 --> 00:41:51.780 when it comes out but we'll we'll see uh there 00:41:51.780 --> 00:41:54.980 was also the mpg line uh drop that they're doing 00:41:54.980 --> 00:42:02.039 a dark designs rhinox Oh, interesting. The silver 00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:06.019 for the for the chest and for the head. And it 00:42:06.019 --> 00:42:08.559 looks like the show like they repainted him. 00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:11.719 Because they call him Decepticon version, even 00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:14.360 though he's Predacon. But right. Yeah, this dark 00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:16.179 designs Rhinox. So he comes with all the stuff, 00:42:16.260 --> 00:42:18.440 but then it's got the mutant face attached to 00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:22.440 the head. Nice. So it opens up so you can cover 00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:24.639 it up, too. But all the inverted colors that 00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:28.250 are there for the Predacon version. are on this 00:42:28.250 --> 00:42:30.789 figure and it, it looks pretty stinking neat. 00:42:31.489 --> 00:42:35.289 Um, just what they decided to go with on it. 00:42:35.489 --> 00:42:38.750 So, uh, I don't own the trend. I don't own the, 00:42:38.750 --> 00:42:44.469 uh, the masterpiece one of, of Rhinox. I've got 00:42:44.469 --> 00:42:49.730 a number of them. I've got like a primal and 00:42:49.730 --> 00:42:54.130 Cheetor and Megatron. Uh, and I've got rat trap 00:42:54.130 --> 00:42:59.780 on the way. Uh, for masterpiece uh and then i've 00:42:59.780 --> 00:43:03.659 got the knockoff like transmittal rat trap primal 00:43:03.659 --> 00:43:10.000 and megatron for masterpiece but rhinox isn't 00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:14.800 one like i've got the uh thrilling 30 right yeah 00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:18.139 so like i don't really feel the need for it yeah 00:43:18.139 --> 00:43:22.860 but uh yeah i i think this is cool though i i 00:43:24.449 --> 00:43:27.630 If you're trying to complete the set, this is 00:43:27.630 --> 00:43:29.769 another way to do a repaint and legitimately 00:43:29.769 --> 00:43:32.409 actually make it something that people might 00:43:32.409 --> 00:43:39.090 want. Yep. So. Excited for that. And then Robot 00:43:39.090 --> 00:43:44.210 Toys has been doing a lot of masterpiece. Some 00:43:44.210 --> 00:43:46.190 of them legend scale, some of the masterpiece 00:43:46.190 --> 00:43:50.849 scale, but they did a Waspinator one. They call 00:43:50.849 --> 00:43:55.940 him Beedrill. Oh, God. And which is a Pokemon 00:43:55.940 --> 00:44:01.960 name. Yeah. But what's cool about him is, I mean, 00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:04.920 he's not 100 % accurate. Like the joints are 00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.960 kind of goofy. And at some point, Hasbro will 00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:14.099 tackle it. But it's got the translucent eyes 00:44:14.099 --> 00:44:19.159 on the head of Waspinator in both beast and robot 00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:24.750 mode. It's also got the translucent wings. It's 00:44:24.750 --> 00:44:29.750 got a nice metallic look to it. Very posable. 00:44:29.889 --> 00:44:34.829 He's got all his little gear. And then you can 00:44:34.829 --> 00:44:39.070 actually pop off his hands and his head and have 00:44:39.070 --> 00:44:41.929 it so that his hand drags the head along. Oh, 00:44:41.989 --> 00:44:45.969 wow. Like like in the show. And he scales with 00:44:45.969 --> 00:44:51.360 the robot toys. Scorponok. Which to scale, they 00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:54.280 do scale well with the Masterpiece Megatron. 00:44:54.739 --> 00:44:59.139 Oh, very cool. Now he is bigger than the Deluxe 00:44:59.139 --> 00:45:01.219 Class Tarantulas because they have a shot of 00:45:01.219 --> 00:45:05.119 him in the

promo stuff of Waspinator shooting 00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:07.380 Tarantulas and he's holding Tarantulas with his 00:45:07.380 --> 00:45:12.940 other hand and he's tiny. Oh no. So I was half 00:45:12.940 --> 00:45:14.619 tempted for this because I'm like, I really love 00:45:14.619 --> 00:45:16.659 Waspinator, but again, I have the Thrilling 30 00:45:16.659 --> 00:45:19.780 and I repainted it and I'm like. I don't want 00:45:19.780 --> 00:45:24.860 to spend $150. $50, I would have definitely gone 00:45:24.860 --> 00:45:28.880 this direction and purchased it, which is the 00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:31.900 only reason I got a knockoff rat trap coming, 00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:36.280 which is the only reason I'm getting them. $150 00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:39.500 for a rat trap just seemed ridiculous when you 00:45:39.500 --> 00:45:44.960 could get Cheetor for like $80. Man, some of 00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:47.860 these prices, man, just... i'm like where do 00:45:47.860 --> 00:45:50.800 they get them like like yeah i can understand 00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:53.579 some of them like primal was 130 when i bought 00:45:53.579 --> 00:45:58.539 them like originally in 2016 yeah and i was like 00:45:58.539 --> 00:46:02.059 okay i get it megatron was like 300 or something 00:46:02.059 --> 00:46:07.760 and like 280 and so i was like so i got the knockoff 00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:13.500 for like 90 I would gladly buy the official, 00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:16.059 except it also did not have the voice of David 00:46:16.059 --> 00:46:24.079 Kaye in the figure. Moving from these into the 00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:29.260 Yolo Park, Optimus Primal and Dinobot have already 00:46:29.260 --> 00:46:33.219 been released and come out. Now we have Blackarachnia 00:46:33.219 --> 00:46:41.429 and Megatron. Good old grapeface. it's funny 00:46:41.429 --> 00:46:43.530 because i'm looking at these and i'm like okay 00:46:43.530 --> 00:46:47.250 he's pretty similar to the masterpiece uh -huh 00:46:47.250 --> 00:46:50.769 like pretty stinking similar i like that you 00:46:50.769 --> 00:46:53.849 can pop off the panels uh the other thing i was 00:46:53.849 --> 00:46:56.769 kind of looking at is uh aside from the fact 00:46:56.769 --> 00:46:59.630 you can pop the panels off is is i'm going okay 00:46:59.630 --> 00:47:03.030 but if he's not masterpiece scale because i don't 00:47:03.030 --> 00:47:08.840 know what scale these are um it's It's a fun 00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:18.780 little display piece. Plus, I would want to own 00:47:18.780 --> 00:47:25.480 it because it's Megatron. Yeah. My brief pause 00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:28.300 was because I'm looking up the Yolo Park Primal 00:47:28.300 --> 00:47:30.940 and Dinobot. They're both 7 .87 inches tall, 00:47:31.059 --> 00:47:36.079 so I'm assuming Megatron might be about 9. Yeah. 00:47:36.650 --> 00:47:40.289 Just for height purposes. But yeah, I do like 00:47:40.289 --> 00:47:44.789 the fact that these are model kits. Yep. And 00:47:44.789 --> 00:47:47.789 they're very articulated. You can pose them. 00:47:47.849 --> 00:47:49.329 You can do all kinds of stuff with them. They 00:47:49.329 --> 00:47:52.570 have diecasts, PVC and, you know, the ABS. They 00:47:52.570 --> 00:47:56.869 have accessories. They have all these these cool 00:47:56.869 --> 00:48:01.610 little points, you know, alternate faces, extra, 00:48:01.769 --> 00:48:04.690 you know, components. Well, now wait a minute 00:48:04.690 --> 00:48:10.010 here. So these are the next installments in Yolo 00:48:10.010 --> 00:48:14.230 Park's AMK Beast Wars line. This is the AMK line. 00:48:14.489 --> 00:48:17.909 This is not the AMK Pro line. So the difference 00:48:17.909 --> 00:48:22.070 is there is no diecast or LEDs in the AMK line. 00:48:22.070 --> 00:48:24.329 That's what the BTS has. They don't have LED. 00:48:24.429 --> 00:48:28.769 It says there's small amount of diecast. Oh, 00:48:28.769 --> 00:48:32.750 okay. Well, this on TFW says there's no die cast 00:48:32.750 --> 00:48:35.269 in them at all. I'm reading from BBTS and they 00:48:35.269 --> 00:48:38.809 get it directly from the source. TFW is not always 00:48:38.809 --> 00:48:45.949 accurate. No, no, no. Just... Okay. Yeah. And 00:48:45.949 --> 00:48:47.710 I know that it's MK and they don't come with 00:48:47.710 --> 00:48:51.309 a lot of the features I don't expect fully light 00:48:51.309 --> 00:48:55.349 up or any of that crap. But it does say like 00:48:55.349 --> 00:48:57.610 Dinobot, for instance, comes with, you know, 00:48:57.980 --> 00:49:01.360 two faces alternate pair of eyes shield sword 00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:05.159 and spear and primal comes with like two interchangeable 00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:09.179 hands two alternate faces and two swords so yeah 00:49:09.179 --> 00:49:14.039 i'll be interested to see what uh megatron comes 00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:16.000 with i mean it looks like it comes with an extra 00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:21.219 hand with a toothbrush uh yeah a lot of his gear 00:49:21.219 --> 00:49:26.750 comes off yep I mean, I'm probably going to get 00:49:26.750 --> 00:49:31.469 it just, I mean, I think it, I'm probably going 00:49:31.469 --> 00:49:33.010 to get it. I'm not, I'm not going to lie. And 00:49:33.010 --> 00:49:35.809 if for 40 bucks to like build a, a model kit 00:49:35.809 --> 00:49:40.050 of Megatron, I'm yeah. Yeah. Honestly, it'll 00:49:40.050 --> 00:49:42.170 probably end up on my floating wall behind me. 00:49:42.690 --> 00:49:47.090 Yup. Um, my floating display wall, it'll probably 00:49:47.090 --> 00:49:49.269 end up there. Cause I've got a number of Megatrons 00:49:49.269 --> 00:49:51.710 in my cabinet, you know, beast machines and beast 00:49:51.710 --> 00:49:55.389 wars pre beast. Yup. Um, all kinds of stuff so 00:49:55.389 --> 00:49:59.250 i'm i'm a huge megatron fan obviously uh the 00:49:59.250 --> 00:50:01.730 black arachnia is tempting too because one i 00:50:01.730 --> 00:50:03.309 get rid of the war for cybertron

one because 00:50:03.309 --> 00:50:07.110 it just looked chintzy yeah uh and i don't have 00:50:07.110 --> 00:50:12.010 one now to go with the rest of my my stuff and 00:50:12.010 --> 00:50:17.210 uh and it always bothered me because like now 00:50:17.210 --> 00:50:20.110 of course you can buy the the big predacon set 00:50:20.110 --> 00:50:24.030 with all of them and they're show accurate I 00:50:24.030 --> 00:50:27.670 don't care to transform these so it doesn't bother 00:50:27.670 --> 00:50:32.409 me that they don't transform yeah and it is show 00:50:32.409 --> 00:50:37.909 accurate so it's like is what it is you know 00:50:37.909 --> 00:50:46.230 but yeah I'm super excited for these can't wait 00:50:46.230 --> 00:50:49.690 to see when they you know drop information and 00:50:49.690 --> 00:50:53.159 when they're coming out Yeah, I thought they 00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:55.199 would have done that already, but I guess not. 00:50:55.880 --> 00:50:59.059 It's probably coming. Probably. I don't think 00:50:59.059 --> 00:51:03.500 we're that far off at this point. Comic -Con 00:51:03.500 --> 00:51:07.960 is next month already, so. That's crazy. SDCC, 00:51:08.099 --> 00:51:14.800 baby. 2026. Holy crap. Holy crap, it's 2026. 00:51:15.219 --> 00:51:19.519 All right. And to. Close out the show, we've 00:51:19.519 --> 00:51:24.300 got Skybound Entertainment, Transformers, comic 00:51:24.300 --> 00:51:29.159 solicitations. So, coming up next week, June 00:51:29.159 --> 00:51:34.099 10th, we've got Transformers number 33, Optimus' 00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:37.900 new Nautobot team, because they are Nautobots, 00:51:37.900 --> 00:51:41.219 according to Alita 1, because they were no longer 00:51:41.219 --> 00:51:44.619 gonna be Autobots if they didn't follow her to 00:51:44.619 --> 00:51:48.469 Cybertron, so... New team of Autobots remain 00:51:48.469 --> 00:51:52.889 on Earth under Optimus' leadership, but can they 00:51:52.889 --> 00:51:56.090 come together after a battle between Optimus 00:51:56.090 --> 00:52:00.230 and Alita? So that's what's coming up this month. 00:52:00.610 --> 00:52:07.670 In July, comics grow there. Who is Dr. Henry 00:52:07.670 --> 00:52:11.750 Archivale? Optimus' team must help General Flag 00:52:11.750 --> 00:52:15.210 with a new mission that brings them face -to 00:52:15.210 --> 00:52:18.840 -face with the man. who may have discovered a 00:52:18.840 --> 00:52:22.539 way for humanity to fight back against Autobot 00:52:22.539 --> 00:52:25.480 and Decepticon alike. That'll be released July 00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:32.500 8th for Transformers number 34. And then in August, 00:52:32.760 --> 00:52:39.119 on August 12th, just a few days past the 40th 00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:43.460 anniversary of the film, We have Transformers 00:52:43.460 --> 00:52:47.920 number 35, Wheeljack, toils away on secret projects 00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:52.619 in his lab inside the Cybertronian Shard, unaware 00:52:52.619 --> 00:52:56.320 of the utter chaos unfolding as the remaining 00:52:56.320 --> 00:52:59.539 Autobots defend against an all -out assault from 00:52:59.539 --> 00:53:03.599 the Decepticons. Dun, dun, dun. Now, that's just 00:53:03.599 --> 00:53:06.219 the Skybound Energon Universe stuff. We also 00:53:06.219 --> 00:53:14.739 have issue... No, we have issues one that just 00:53:14.739 --> 00:53:19.900 came out of the movie adaptation. We have issue 00:53:19.900 --> 00:53:22.719 two that's coming out in July and then issue 00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:25.659 three will be coming out in August. But the trade 00:53:25.659 --> 00:53:28.940 paperback collecting all three issues of the 00:53:28.940 --> 00:53:33.860 40th anniversary edition of the movie comic will 00:53:33.860 --> 00:53:38.079 be collected in trade on August 12th. So that's 00:53:38.079 --> 00:53:42.440 what I'm waiting on. I'm not covering the individual 00:53:42.440 --> 00:53:46.760 issues. I'm going to cover the trade. So that's 00:53:46.760 --> 00:53:54.960 what's going on in comics news for the Transformers 00:53:54.960 --> 00:54:02.519 comics. There you go, folks. Yep, yep, yep. So 00:54:02.519 --> 00:54:09.679 I'm interested, honestly, to hear what People 00:54:09.679 --> 00:54:15.900 are. Excited for with. The Transformers stuff 00:54:15.900 --> 00:54:19.119 coming up this year, like some of the toys, is 00:54:19.119 --> 00:54:23.719 it some of the MK line? Is it the comics? Is 00:54:23.719 --> 00:54:29.699 it the 40th anniversary? It's. It's it's definitely 00:54:29.699 --> 00:54:34.119 not a boring year with Transformers. Oh, no, 00:54:34.179 --> 00:54:42.760 definitely not. Definitely not. Yeah. So I think 00:54:42.760 --> 00:54:45.440 that about rounds out this episode of things. 00:54:46.159 --> 00:54:49.980 Transformers. Do you have anything that you want 00:54:49.980 --> 00:54:55.679 to plug as far as Transformers content? It's 00:54:55.679 --> 00:54:58.820 not my own stuff, but I will plug my buddy Mike 00:54:58.820 --> 00:55:03.199 Seibert and his program. Mike Seibert radio program. 00:55:03.300 --> 00:55:08.420 He is doing. A series called the 40 for 40. And 00:55:08.420 --> 00:55:12.420 he is going through the, his favorite movie of 00:55:12.420 --> 00:55:16.699 all time is Transformers. The movie he's going 00:55:16.699 --> 00:55:20.239 through it section by section, scene by scene, 00:55:20.360 --> 00:55:23.320 not minute by minute or anything like that, but 00:55:23.320 --> 00:55:27.079 he's going through and he's doing various bits 00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:29.599 and it's going to take him all year long to do 00:55:29.599 --> 00:55:33.650 this. And I just find it fascinating that he's 00:55:33.650 --> 00:55:37.750 doing this and it's just a fun listen. He's bringing 00:55:37.750 --> 00:55:42.030 in, he's comparing like what the script, what 00:55:42.030 --> 00:55:44.630 the previous versions of the Flint Dilley and 00:55:44.630 --> 00:55:47.610 the Ron Freeman scripts were to what the actual 00:55:47.610 -->
