"hate engine" was the name of a local band around here years ago. And all Gogs talk about MP TC has me thinking about grabbing one soon. Which means then I'll need Starscream as I already have Skywarp.

Thank you very much for checking out the podcast and coming by! I am looking forward to the next blog post. Echoing Gog, I hope we get to see more of your work in future Transformers media.
GogDog
Wow, hello sir! I am honored you listened to the show. I really appreciate you posting the Thundertron art. I already loved the toy, but your art gave me a deep appreciation for all the molded details I otherwise would have missed. Keep up the amazing work and I hope you get to continue to work on the brand.
Thanks for the clarification on Sideswipe.

Hello from Italy guys!
I've been listening to the Podcast tonight, and wanted to say thanks everybody for the very kind words about me and my work
I hope to be able to share more concepts in the near future, I worked on a lot of stuff, but most of the time things needs to remain classified.
But I do have another authorized character from the bible that I'm going to post soon.
Also, some of them are going to show up in the Pop-Up book by Little Brown Books, I was asked to use them as a the base for many of those illustrations.
BTW, about Sideswipe, most of the art (including the pieces I did) has been created before TF Prime, so the visuals weren't really meant to match with that style. We were also a bunch of artists doing explorations, so all of us added their own things and created a great mix of different styles and ideas for the various characters.
As an example, Prime was sketched by Eric Siebanaler and then painted over by me, and that set the standard for most of the pieces I did after that.
Oh, and yes, I worked on some IDW stuff. I did Spotlight Blaster, half of a couple Hail Megatron issues and the short Sunstreaker story

Thanks for answering my question!

…Is that Mikoto?

I'm not a big MOTU fan, but I still really dig how Skeletron looks. Not gonna get him, nor do I have the Botcon figure… nor have I ever shown interest in owning one, but that head is a definite improvement.
You know, it's kinda weird that I think Gigatron's headsculpt looks totally wrong on that body, but GDO Megatron doesn't bother me that much. I have no idea why.

Of course you could probably make you own with some super glue and the proper figures.
Seth Buzzard
We did!

You liked my Mech-At-Arms figure concept!

I kind of think of Alternity Dai Atlas to be more of an Optimal Optimus because of his color scheme.
I too thought the soundtrack to Tron would have worked great for Transformers when it came out.
However, the kind of music I associate with Transformers the most? A kind of retro, cheesy, almost big band music with lots of loud trumpets and stuff most often associated with super robot shows. I'm not quite sure how to really describe the genre, to be honest, but the soundtrack to G1 was very much like this – it felt kind of retro, even for the '80's, but had some synth and guitars worked in.
I think I'll provide a few examples of what I'm talking about:
"A Step Forward into Terror" – Neon Genesis Evangelion
Neon Genesis Evangelion OST 1 – A Step Forward Into Terror – YouTube
"Sure Promise (Union Square)" – Big O
The Big O (THE
"Final Fusion" – Gaogaigar
GaoGaiGar OST- FINAL FUSION (Extended) – YouTube
"Angel Attack II" – Evangelion
EVA Soundtrack 2 – Angel Attack II – YouTube
And of course, this kind of music is no stranger to Transformers outside of G1:
Transformers Cybertron/Galaxy Force OST: Combination Power. – YouTube

Yeah I have to say I think you guys do well and I listen because I enjoy the conversations and the constructive comments about various figures or shows. I also think you give a really unbiased view on figures and what not. I myself have picked up several figures just from listening to you guys chat and talk up a figure be it an actual transformer or an off topic figure.
While I know Im new to this forum, ive lurked for a while but just wanted to post my 2 cents. Again a great show guys.
SideswipePrime
On Gojira Prime's question…what you guys said really reminds me why I like you guys and Preorder 66. You guys keep very objective, instead of being like "oh! Everything sucks! Why did *insert company name here* do this!"
Silent_Magnus
Yeah, I agree those guys aren't really same as Sideswipe and Optimus. Since only like 4 of them are new versions of old characters.

Dubstep is sick!

Damn… Now I want Thundertron… but I'll get the Leo Prime version… Pirate Prime with Moon turning into a sword… is… SO AWESOME!

forget the podcast! i'd rather have that pie that's in the picture at the start of the thread

Here is some pictures to show a microman female with an Alternity Convoy
This proves someone actually bought the Dai Atlas who I still love even if I wished he had a new head

Just listened up to the finishing up of the first listener question, and I'd like to throw in that the fact that you guys are positive is totally a major reason why I've stuck with this show for so long and I'm still excited when new episodes come up.
A little cynicism in shows is fine, and in fact, adds some "spice" to it. But there's an invisible line that when crossed, turns cynicism into bitchin' & moanin'.
WTF@TFW has a good balance. You guys are generally positive, but when something is blatantly bad… like if the face of a toy is undeniably derpy, then yeah, you guys call it out for it or playfully mock it. Heck, sometimes the mocking makes the toy suddenly desirable.
Conversely, and I intend no "trolling" or undue offense… the "second season" of Prime Time… well… I've downloaded every episode, but toward the end, I've only been skimming (usually to reach Aaron's bits), and outside the first few minutes, I have still not listened to the final podcast. Again, I mean no offense, but it just ain't my cup of tea anymore.
I find that to me, the show not only focuses on the bad parts of an episode or the good parts in a negative light, but that you guys tend not to talk about any cool parts of a given episode as much anymore. And I admit that I don't necessarily agree with all your criticisms of the show either. Primarily, I don't think it's a sign of "bad writing" when the writers don't go in a direction that we the audience expected them to go.
Apologies for any offense. I hope it'll be taken as constructive feedback.
With season 3 of Prime being quite a ways off, I hope that when the show returns and you guys hopefully continuing Prime Time, the long break would allow you guys to be more enthusiastic for the source material (although if season 3 sucks, then it sucks y'know?).
Enthusiasm breeds enthusiasm, when you guys are happy with the subject matter, it makes listening to you guys a happy experience. Take your BayMovieverse "bashing" for instance. Sure you bashed it, but in a way where you're "happy". As a result, it's fun to listen even when you're being "negative" about it.
Anyways, that's it. Good show so far.
