The hosts discuss the HasLab Omega Prime campaign, the new Legacy United Deluxe Gears figure, and upcoming McFarlane Toys Page Punchers. They also share thoughts on mystery boxes and 3D-printed head sculpts for Megatron. Finally, the discussion includes a rare autographed collectible and the upcoming return of the TFG1 podcast.

Hi, this is Gary Jock, and you're listening to

the GeekCast Radio Network. This is Optimus Prime,

and you're listening to all these grunts forlors.

Hello and welcome to All Things Transformers

I'm your host Steve Megatron and joining me on

this adventure into the cybernetic space cube

is TFG1 Mike Why the fuck do you have to ruin

the episode not even five seconds? Why you gotta

mention that thing? Because I was like I don't

want to bring up the episode. I just wanted to

be like what can I use? I could have used the

the all spark Well, technically using the cybernetic

space cube does fit into one of the stories of

one of the seven six or seven stories we have

tonight and folks not to Throw the transformers

under the Bumble bus or anything, but this is

going to be very fast episode Because Steve and

I have Star Trek stuff to record after this so

and right now. Yes Fortunately for Transformers,

the Star Trek stuff is a little bit more important.

But yes, I am here. I'm no longer waiting or

whatever we're doing or not doing, but yeah.

So first up, Takara Tomi, 40th anniversary project,

Our Origin. I like this art, to be honest. I

love it. I think it's great. I think it's funny

they have... Primal, they have G1 Prime and then

they have Movie Prime. Because those are the

three most important franchises in Transformers

history. Beast Wars, G1, the Movieverse. Each

one either brought it into an existence or rescued

it from its demise. So the story on TFW2005 says

the official Takara Tomy hobby YouTube channel

Our channel YouTube, as they've written it here,

have been updated with the announcement of a

new 40th anniversary project, Our Origin by Takara

Tomi. There are not much details yet, but it

has gotten their own website online as well.

It seems it will be a special celebration to

thank the fans for the support over the last

40 years. G1 Japanese dub and Beast Wars second

episodes will be broadcast on their YouTube channel.

Two G1 episodes will be uploaded per week every

Friday starting on February 2nd, so that was

Groundhog's Day this past week. One Beast Wars

2nd episode will be uploaded per week every Tuesday

starting on February 13th, so right before Valentine's

Day. Here you go, folks. Here's your Heart of

Beast Wars. It's Beast Wars 2nd. Episodes will

be available for a limited time only. Upcoming

Missing Inc. I'm missing link collaborations

masterpiece and mpg products will be announced

in april. So yeah this looks really cool this

looks really fun i'm i'm excited to see it. Because

we'll get the beast wars episode there be stores

two episodes i'm hoping they're in like a good

definition. Just because i. I've not I mean,

I know TF cog did it years ago like a dub I've

never Really gotten involved with it I suppose

I could have at one point like I mean watching

it, but I just it just didn't For whatever reason

just didn't resonate with me and I think it's

just I mean, it's nothing against the material

Yeah, I just won. I don't want to read subtitles

That's pretty much it. Yeah Now, don't get me

wrong, I will read captions when I watch something,

but it's in English. So it's more so because

my deaf self or I don't hear all the details

because they bury it in music or background sound

effects so I don't really hear it per se. But

that's aside the point. I'm excited to see Beast

Wars 2. Hopefully it's in higher definition than

the stuff I've seen online. Yeah. But time will

tell. Either way, I'm excited to see what masterpiece

figures that they come out with for not only

Transformers, but Beast Wars. Because typically

when they do Beast Wars, they do them back to

back. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And so we've gotten

the announcement of Rhinox, so we need a Predacon.

Yep. Absolutely. Up next we have Neil Kaplan,

Robots in Disguise, Omega Prime, Promo Video

and HasLab Passes 6000. So a cool tidbit today

from voice actor Neil Kaplan who was the voice

of Optimus Prime in the US version of Robots

in Disguise. Neil Kaplan has always been proud

of his time as Optimus and has interacted with

the fans online and in person at shows for the

last 20 years or so. To show support for the

HasLab Omega Prime, he produced a quick voiceover

for the reveal video. This is an unofficial and

done quickly, as you can see in the link below.

I'll have the YouTube or X or whatever link it

is. It'll be in our show notes, folks, so you

can go see that. Adds a bit of nostalgia flair.

You can follow Neil via his Facebook pages, et

cetera, et cetera. I watched this. It was pretty

good. I've never really been a super fan of that

show. It was after my like 2001. I was. Between.

I think December of 2000 and April of 2003, I

was moving all over the north and southeastern

United States. I went from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania

to Mississippi, back to Kentucky, back to. So

I was not into. Into read 2001, but this is very

cool that he's He's still active with with the

fans and stuff. That's awesome Yeah, I'm not

a huge fan of red either, but I mean I I watched

it I liked I Liked the the the scourge in red

which is now been dubbed nemesis prime of all

things but I mean Of all things, I did enjoy

aspects of that show. It just wasn't my favorite.

Yeah, exactly. I enjoy aspects of it. I could

do without all the humans, but I enjoy other

aspects of it. It was Hasbro's attempt at trying

to get away from the beasties since TransTech

was going nowhere. after Beast Machines flopped.

Yeah, unfortunately. I still love Beast Machines.

I don't care what anyone says. I know it was

a flop. I do too. I think that had they gone

a different direction with it, I think we would

have had more in that universe. But I think because

they'd alienated the fans so much in just changing

the personas of the characters. Like not not

necessarily like, you know, uh monk primal, uh

I liked what they did with megatron. I I hated

night scream. I liked what they did with cheetor

I hated what they did with rat trap I mean, so

it was kind of a give -and -take like throughout

the whole series. I loved aspects of it and then

I hated others so it but yeah, I mean it Rid

was kind of that attempt to get back to the the

robotic purists. Yeah. Up next, quick little

thing here and I'll probably have some sort of

voice clip in here somewhere because this is

the only reason why we're bringing the story

up. I just remember this. We are getting a Transformers

Legacy United Deluxe Gears. Love Gears. Gears

is awesome. The sun has been stabilized. All

that's left is to destroy Megatron's solar needle

forever. Excuse me, please. I don't want to be

pushy, but aren't you forgetting something? Your

special circuit card, Gears. Here you are. Um,

just a minute. We took a vote and, uh, well,

we decided we like Gears the way he is now. Yeah,

a real photovoltaic pussycat. I see. Well, as

long as you all agree. hey if you guys don't

give me my circuit back i'm gonna start kicking

transistor all right don't get your capacitors

in an uproar there so when do we roll out of

here this jungle humidity is giving me a crap

in my chronometer hey now that's our gears oh

man the voice for gears was so great It's a very

nice modern incarnation of Juin gears in both

robot and alt mode. We also have several comparison

shots next to other Juin -inspired modern figures,

which he looks really good. I love him next to

Beachcomber, I think that's awesome. Him next

to Brawn, that's great. Him next gears and Huffer.

Oh my god two robots that are completely different

Huffer is like just so timid and whatever That's

awesome. But now this gears man. It looks looks

really cool Yeah, I I've I'm not like a huge

like super fan of like a lot of these characters,

but I've been loving what they've been doing

with them just kind of bringing a lot of the

ones that kind of we're in G1 and like throughout

season one and two that kind of just faded into

oblivion or were killed off or things like that

uh just getting to see them and have a proper

you know body for them absolutely all right up

next again this is going to be quick folks i'm

only bringing this up because i want to have

a quick mystery box discussion but uh new transformers

robotic re -awakening styling box Longtime friend

of the site and sponsor, Stylin' Online for TFW2005

has a new store for officially licensed boxes

featuring merchandise all related to a single

theme. Lots of different brands are available,

but their Transformers box has officially hit

the web store recently. For those that attend

the conventions across the US, you've probably

seen Stylin' boxes at the shows with massive

walls of mystery boxes for every theme you can

think of, a limited selection of those. get online

at their website, and now Transformers is one

of those. You can check out the link below. So

I watched the video that they have here, and

it's essentially mystery boxes. It could be,

let's see, Transformers style in the box, version

two, robotic awakening, rolls out with a new

cache of collectibles, celebrating the timeless

battles between Autobots and Decepticons. What's

in the box? Discover. Five to eight premium items,

officially licensed Transformers items, each

symbolizing the epic tales of heroism and transforming

technology that define the series. The contents

are closely held secret, much like a hidden potential

of a Transformer itself. Join the Autobots, blah

blah blah. So these are mystery boxes. Usually

where I'm into mystery boxes now is Funko stuff

because you can get certain Funko Pops in mystery

boxes from certain companies. Which is absolutely

fine. I love that kind of stuff, but these to

me Remind me of the old Loot Crate days where

it's like you pay a subscription We'll send you

some crap It is crap because they send you like

these overpriced junk toys that belong in the

dollar store and Then they send you a couple

of shirts maybe and like maybe a hat or something

or a patch or a sticker or it's like dude I'm

not paying $66 to get a crap box Like, it's,

I mean, I can go, you know, to the bathroom and

do the same thing. Like, I can have a crap box

in there, like, and it's free. I mean, as horrible

as it is to say, like, I feel like all of the,

you know, this is why Loot Crate disappeared.

It was all subpar garbage, and this is the same

case. Like, we're dealing with a $66 box? Are

you kidding me? Like, why would I pay for that?

You know, you get, oh, five to eight items. Premium,

premium. Is that like that premium beast Megatron

that was like a statue that looked like Megatron

had starved himself for six months? Like, I mean,

I don't understand the mentality of these. If

you want a mystery box that bad, go to a Goodwill

or an Ark and buy one of those mystery bags of

just useless toys that nobody wants. It's the

same basic thing. The only difference is here,

you're getting a box covering it. I will say,

the whole mystery box aspect in general, again,

going to the Funko brand of Funko products, there

have been plenty of websites and other people

that I've dealt with online in the last, been

collecting Funko since 2017, so however long

that's been, six, seven years, whatever it is.

It will say that because it's Funko Pops and

there's a potential to get, like if you buy a,

especially if it's a company where they're like,

here, buy a $70 box, you get guaranteed value.

And they will guarantee your value by giving

you whatever mystery Funko Pop item, Funko Pop,

Funko Pop item, Funko Pop. That might be in that

box. You still don't know what you're gonna get

You don't know what you're gonna pull but they

will give you so the whole mystery box aspect

in general I understand and get it but these

you're absolutely right and Yeah, I mean it's

one thing if they're gonna guarantee you're gonna

get something good Yeah, but if you're if you're

they're not like they're like, oh premium item.

That's a catchphrase That's a marketing catchphrase

to say you may get something decent. It's like

when you're doing the lock boxes in video games.

It's like, what does it say? They're like, this

box contains a random item. Inspect the box and

select use to open. You must have X, Y, Z or

whatever to open it. And then it's funny because

then when you go to it, they'll be like, It may

include XYZ, you know, and this, this, this,

this, this, this, this, and this. But your probability

is so low on getting something decent. And I

get it. Like sometimes people just like to, you

know, oh, I like the not knowing, you know, what

I'm going to get. And that's okay. But on a whole,

I mean, you're paying $66 even for the Transformers

box and it's $5 shipping. So it's so it's it's

but it's 71 and that's before tax so It you know,

you can buy it with prime and you get free delivery

But you're still paying tax and like you said

about the about the premium aspect of it I love

because I get raised. No, I know it's a catchphrase

But I love I watched the video as I read in the

article You've seen us at conventions that to

me sounds like you're going to put convention

items in this box like Don't do that. Don't advertise

that way. Yeah, it's like you've seen us hang

out at a convention table. You've seen what we

carry Don't expect anything better Like and this

is why I never get sponsorships for these places,

but I can't I can't endorse these boxes like

we did the loot crate thing for a little bit.

I saw nothing from it. And so I just was like,

you know, screw this. I'm not giving them free

advertising because it's, you know, and then

I started looking more into it and I'm like,

this is honestly just a waste of money. Like

I would, if you're going to throw your money

away, at least throw it towards something, you

know, you're going to get value from, you know,

give it to a content creator, give it to, you

know, a collection of things that you'd like,

you know, Take up a new hobby, like something

that you can get value from because when it comes

down to it, these items you're getting from these

boxes are worth nothing the minute you open them.

They're worth everything in the box. The minute

you open that box, everything inside, everybody

knows what it is, and then they're like, eh.

Those megatrons, those beast megatrons that were

the scrawny statues. They're on eBay for like

10 bucks after the fact God Because they're crap

nobody wanted them like I mean I I mean for crying

out loud I've got like multiple versions of Megatron

that was not one that I was like I gotta have

it because it's a Megatron I was like no this

looks like horse crap like I would rather or

you know have like if they had a Funko pop beast

Megatron I would buy that because At least I

know it wouldn't have dead eyes on it like a

Mighty Mug. Well, okay, now that's a whole other...

Yeah, no, I know, but I'm saying like, but the

Funko Pop Mega, like Beast Megatron, if they

had one, I would be like, okay, I wouldn't be

embarrassed to have this in my collection. Like,

whereas the Scrawny Megatron that was in the

Loot Crate, I was like, I would be embarrassed

to have that in my collection. Oh, boy, folks.

All right, moving on. You sent me this and you're

like, oh And I looked at it and I'm like, okay

I kind of get it because it's not for us. Yes

to get it's into Comics and toys so McFarlane

Todd McFarlane McFarlane toys transformers page

punchers two packs official images Coming to

us via new Amazon listings tag ad We have our

first official images of the new Transformers

Page Punchers two packs from McFarland Toys.

Officially announced in December of 2023, the

Page Punchers are a line of three or seven inch

figures. I love how it's three or seven, okay,

whatever. Included with a comic book, the new

Transformers line offers two three inch figures,

six articulation points, two comics, and a comic

base in one pack. The figures and comics are

from the first IDW Transformers comics collection.

Each pack is priced at $16 .99 and planned for

release on April 30th, 2024. Okay, one thing

TFW2005. This is not the... From the first IDW

Transformers comics collection. This is not the

first IDW Transformers comics collection. This

is... Optimus... Prime and lost light yep, so

optimus prime Lost light were the What was it

so it was part of phase two it was after they

took? Robots in disguise and more than meets

the eye so optimus prime robots in disguise became

optimus prime and then more than meets the eye

Became the lost light so technically. It's the

second it doesn't matter. I think these are cool

You think this is a good way to get kids in?

Like, and these figures aren't that cool to me,

personally? They're not that cool, but let me

put it this way. I would sooner own this than

a Super 7. And I'm saying this because the Super

7, like the ones that are like the five inch

figures that are like $22, those are garbage.

Your other garbage like now they're they're bigger

sized ones like the $55 ones. Okay, those don't

look that bad They don't transform but at least

they you know uphold the the appearance in the

robot form better than like the red figures did

and Like those those little miniature ones that

are like three inch three point seven five inch

tall Figures for the super seven are They're

almost like an embarrassment like oh look at

this. It's supposed to be a retro and it's it's

I don't know these These I would sooner own because

yes while they're not a hundred percent accurate

There's more articulation and they just look

better than those super seven figures and like

you said it gets it gets kids reading the comics

it gets them to Plus, they get two figures. Two

comics for under $20. Yes. For me, that's like,

okay, the investment's there. You get two figures.

They're better looking than honestly those Hasbro

ones that didn't transform or even some of the

$15 ones that transformed. I mean, if you remember

RID. Up from 2015, half of those toys that came

out during that run were chincy plastic. And

they transformed like garbage and they looked

terrible. I mean, for this, I really like the

Bumblebee and the Wheeljack. I like the Optimus

Prime and Megatron. More so the Megatron. The

Optimus Prime kind of is so -so. It's kind of

derpy, really. It really is. It's kind of derpy

prime, but Megatron at least looks the part.

Yeah. Yeah, some of the paint looks kind of meh,

but... Yeah, but for three inch figures, I'm

not expecting... For what it is, I mean, it looks

like they have, you know, they have shoulder,

you know, pivot points. Yeah, they have the head,

they have the waist, they have the legs, they

have the knees. That's, I mean... And they have

heard of the wrist. Yeah, and so I mean that's

really all you need and then the Megatron looks

pretty you know, pretty stellar, too I don't

know. I if I was looking for something I Mean

plus you get the stand that holds the comic book.

Yeah, that's that's which that alone. I'm like

hmm I really like that. This is $16 99 cents

USD. This is under 20 You haven't gotten two

figures and two comic books that price in some

35 years, probably, most likely. I mean, yes.

I mean, the comics are probably, like, technically

$4 a piece. And then the figures are probably,

no, $3, $4 a piece. And then you're paying for

the comic stand. And that's fine. But, I mean,

I... I mean plus if you're not looking for something

that transforms and you want something with low

real estate like you're You know, like I only

collect, you know a certain size figure or something

I mean it works too. Plus you get an awesome

like kind of backdrop photo, you know for the

cover with it so I mean all the way around I

don't when they first announced these I was like

But now I mean looking at it like I mean I would

sooner own this then Some of the other like cheap

figures that are out there. I don't you know

or Or even like those those crates like that

you're getting a bunch of trash like these You're

getting value here Yeah, exactly, and I will

say you know I know you have kids and I know

you might get this for your kids at some point

or other These comics are not exactly I would

never Ever give a ten -year -old Optimus Prime

or lost light because now they're not for kids,

but it's well, but the thing is is it's Like

the idea. So again, you look at the bubble being

wheeled jacket comes with the bubble be comic

and one of the robots in disguise Issues that

focuses on wheel jacks in the moment be comic.

I guess technically that probably could be for

kids If they change up these comics where it's

more kid friendly comics and not IDW 2 .0, I

could see that going further with getting kids

to read because I'm not even a parent, folks.

And let me tell you, a child should be reading

Optimus Prime in Lost Light, I don't think. Not

a young child. Not a child that these look like

these are supposed to be. Like I said, this to

me, and again, I'm not a parent. You can speak

to it in a moment. This to me looks like ages

6 to 12 and I would not give these these two

specific comics I would not give those to that

age group. I would give them to them when they

hit 14 and 15 years old As far as the comics

go But yeah, I mean and BBTS has these for pre

-order The Optimus Megatron one is sold out for

the pre -order and it's to arrive in April. And

they've got some nice close -up shots of it too.

Like I said, not a lot of detail, but if you

were like, you know, looking for the figures

or you wanted to paint them, I mean, they're

pretty decently sized. I mean, they're not tall

by any means because they're still three -inch

figures, but... Like I said, they look decent.

The Bumblebee and Wheeljack one is still available,

though, on the website. Cool. Very cool, very

cool. But yeah, so there's that, folks. Last

one for me that I have before Steve talks about

his story is the Skybound Transformers comic

solicitations for May 2024. Skybound previews

May's incoming void rivals issue number nine.

Derek and Selila cling to life deep in the wasteland

and find Springer? Available in local comic shops

May 1st, 2024. If you needed a reminder of what

Rivals continues to be the series where debut

fan favorite characters Derek and Selila also

explore exciting new corners of the Energon universe,

said Shawn Mankiewicz, SVP publisher of Skybound,

we're only halfway through this arc and there's

no shortage of surprises to come. So very very

cool. I love the artwork I think it's very fun

and the cool thing about void rivals and what

they're doing with void rivals within the energon

universe is that It's its own unique story, but

various transformers characters will pop up as

guest stars So we had in like the first arc we

had the scuxoid we had shockwave I forget who

else showed up, but it's kind of like a special

guest star kind of thing, and then maybe it'll

go on to whatever else is going on in the Energonian

Earth, so there's that. But yes, coming in May

this year, Blood Rivals number nine. All right,

you added something here. What do you got about

Power of the Primes Megatron? So a user on TFW,

Mavs, M -A -V -S, And he created a Power of the

Primes Optimal Megatron head that you can swap

out the Optimal Optimus head on the figure. And

he did it in such a way that Megatron has three

different face sculpts. Nice. The one I got was

made a while back and it's probably, as far as

the helmet is concerned, more accurate. But the

head, I feel like the head and the face are too

small. Okay. And I ordered it on eBay at some

point to pop into my... Or no, that one I actually

printed. I'm thinking the other Megatron. I've

got so many it's hard to keep track. But I printed

this head for the Power of the Primes. Optimal

Megatron and I painted it, you know, I printed

it in Orange and then painted the rest of it

in it and it works like it's it's not bad But

I feel like the head is tiny for the body Whereas

Mavs I feel like has given it more of a balance

like Readied it out more. It's like a little

bit thicker but has the the general like grimace

face the the kind of frown and then has like

you know, the eye, you know, where his, basically

his eyebrows are, you know, kind of pointed down

and he's got like the scar above the eye and,

you know, so it looks very authentic to the character

and it's a little bit bigger than what I have.

But what Mavs had did is put them up for sale

on Colt's 3D, which is a 3D printing resource.

And I was kind of looking at him. I'm like, okay

This is this is kind of neat and then shows,

you know with the proper paint sculpt and you

know her paint design on it and I was kind of

impressed. I'm like, okay it's got it so you

can you can paint like the eyes and part of this

stuff separately and Pop it together on there,

but also has a Cartoon head pack for legacy transmittal

to Megatron nice I haven't purchased the Optimal

Megatron one yet because I'm kind of waiting

to see. But the one that he made for the Transmetal

2 Legacy Megatron actually looks more authentic

than the one I got off eBay. So like the one

off eBay has a couple of things that I'm like

kind of meh, but it still looks like infinitely

better than the one that came with the figure,

which was robots in disguise, Megatron's face.

So the one that it comes with is, or this one

that Mav's designed has Megatron with the general

kind of upside down frown type face, has the

has the grimace and then has like some of the

eyebrow you know where they're kind of raised

but then I'm seeing it with like paint on on

his figure and I'm like okay this this is pretty

uh pretty good like pretty stellar pretty epic

um so I'm like I will probably because I didn't

buy that one because the printing files were

like four bucks or something that was like okay

I can splurge four bucks and try and print it

so I've actually got my printer set to, after

I finish this next print job, to attempt it and

to print all of the faces. There's like four

different faces. And then there's, it's supposed

to pop back in the same spot as the other faceplate,

which... Being I've had to do this before it's

not they don't make it simple Right apart But

I've seen the face sculpt it looks pretty neat.

I mean the paint that this individual used it

doesn't inspire confidence, but But like it just

because it's flaky and it's because it's I mean,

it's a very small surface area but there's there's

like a peg that you install there's the eyepiece

and then there's the the faceplate and then you

have to slide it into the the component but I

looked at it and I'm like okay this this is gonna

be this is gonna be fun to attempt printing and

then I'll paint it and then see how I like it

compared you know comparatively because I'm like

whatever but I'm doing it different this time

I'm printing it black So that I don't have to

paint certain aspects of it and I can just touch

up paint in certain areas so We shall see how

this how this plays out. But yeah, I mean it's

it's amazing the stuff that fans are coming up

with now For 3d printing so good. Yeah, absolutely.

I'm like dude If like you've got the printer

like it's like almost of one of those case of

why not All right, so why not? So I'm I'm definitely

looking forward to seeing how this turns out

once I print it and then paint it and maybe I'll

swap out the one that's in my Transmetal 2. Plus,

I got to finish repainting him, but yeah, it's

definitely a great time to be a 3D printer. Absolutely.

But yeah, that's all I got on that front. absolutely

absolutely well folks we are recording this pretty

much four days before my 44th birthday and friends

of mine who were on toycast I don't even know

how I found them I think it was just randomly

and then one of their auctions on whatnot at

one point or another but fun employed and random

hat studio James and Emily they are a couple

who do what not auctions and they do go pops

and things like that and I try my best to stay

off what not when I have no money no money for

extra things for what not because i know i'm

going to get tempted and i don't want to be tempted

and i sent them a message i said i think that

it. But that, that was awesome. And also in awesome

news, I have an announcement to make because

ingenious idea, sort of. The return of the fucking

great, I mean the TFG1 podcast, what the hell

am I talking about? So big way to bring it back

for TFG1 for 40th anniversary of Transformers.

Everybody gets their own individual episode where

they list their own personal top 10 favorite

Generation 1 episodes. So you get an episode,

Optimus Solo gets an episode, Peacock Claw Michael

gets an episode, I get an episode, everybody

gets an episode. Yes, I know. It's an Oprah thing,

folks. So yeah, so TFG One podcast will be coming

back some point this year. Anyone who wants to

come on can come on, as long as you've seen the

98 episodes of the Generation 1 cartoon. And

I have a whole plethora of Transformers guests

I can bring on, but yeah, you, Kevin, and Michael

will probably be the first three episodes. And

then after that, it's an open astro train, folks.

Get in while the getting's good. Yup. That's

all I got. Anything else you got? Uh, no, I think

that's it. So... Thank you as always for listening

to All Things Transformers. I've been your host,

Steve Megatron, along with... Give it your own

mic. You can of course interact with us and the

show on the website geekcastradio .com. You can
