Shout Factory Transformers and GI Joe DVD Review

I'm Stan Bush and I dare you to listen to All

Things Transformers with Steve Megatron and TFG1

Mike. and joining me as always is Screw it, I

might as well lay here and watch this and wait

until five o 'clock, because I know you're going

to be online. Yeah. Because I knew after I sent

you those files earlier, before you went to bed,

after you got off work last night or this morning

or whatever the hell it was, I knew I was like,

shit, if I go to sleep now, I ain't waking up

at five o 'clock. Close the other thing is for

some odd reason I know I've talked about this

before but I am definitely going to be complaining

about this to my boss also to have her complain

to the apartment management people here. The

maintenance guy took it upon himself one time

when summer first started he took it upon himself

once one of the air conditioners got overloaded

or overblown or overused to Lock out all the

systems where they will not the thermostats in

the apartments will not go below 70 degrees.

I'm sorry It's hot as hell in here the air can

I don't doubt that the central air conditioning

is not venting right and I've got it like all

the way down like almost below, you know Most

of us has don't go below 50, but I've got it

like right at 50 and it still stays in between

70 and 80 it's like you know during the day here

it's like 80 90 almost 100 degrees just depending

and you know once August hits fuck that forget

that you know yeah something's got to be done

yeah don't blame you there I mean it's not like

I have it on all the time I usually leave it

on fan or I will turn it off but it has to be

at least Have to have it at least between 66

and 68 degrees in here when it's a hundred and

something degrees outside So it's been going

on with you other than the fact you're tired

not much just mostly Doing the DVD reviews and

I just edited three podcast episodes last night.

Can't really think of much else besides that

I'm finally getting this review done. That's

cool. We had what? Tooncast and Tootoycast released

today. Tunecast wasn't supposed to be out till

tomorrow, but hey, whatever. That's fine. It's

no big deal Day early is not bad better than

two weeks late. We actually haven't recorded

an ATTF and God knows how long 28 was like maybe

three and a half weeks ago, I think Something

like that. It seems something like that. Yeah,

it's been a while since we've recorded an ATTF

I would say partly because the movie's already

out. It's already broken all kinds of records

And the majority of the news is toy news. We

don't really... And the majority of the... Yeah,

that would pretty much... Oh, go ahead. No. I

was gonna say, that pretty much explains it right

there, though. Yeah. I mean, the movie's out.

You know, it's not like there's any, like, real

hype. We can already give it that it hasn't already

gotten. Regardless of all the, you know, idiot

critics that said it was gonna bomb. You know.

And we, you know, I've already had, you know...

You and I have had a discussion on the movie,

and I had a discussion with a couple of my other

Toycast buddies on it, and I think we've kind

of killed it to get to death. I'm trying to think.

What else can we talk about? I don't know. I

guess we can pimp Shout Factory again for sending

us Transformers, or sending you Transformers

and G .I. Joe stuff. Yes, which is very appreciated.

I'm actually, like I said, finishing up the Review

right now. Yeah, so if you're gonna say yes,

you got to do it right like this Wow All right,

I'm gonna hit play in like three two one I want

you to say it is just as he sings. I want to

see how similar it is three two Yeah, it's it's

Kind of wow, it's almost spot -on. That's whole

holy crap. That was a That was a yes from the

I believe it was the second episode of basement

or not second episode It's second to last its

endgame part two Yeah, I was watching that for

Comparison because I am going to be comparing

the endgame three -parter to the rebirth three

-parter when we do TFG one episode 24 Because

I truly think that they are extremely similar

in the simple fact that in in rebirth They use

the excess solar energy to you know, re -energize

Cybertron and then at the end of beast machines

they reformat the planet And it's basically the

same type of thing Well, yeah, you know, I also

so far I've gotten I've gotten that one from

Megatron. I've got this from cheetor big pot

ock big pot yeah that's not working on the have

to figure that you know why that's working with

a rat trap stuff will come out was working earlier

uh... last month he he he he he he he he he he

he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he

he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he

he he he he he he he I'm probably going to start

just getting some more audio for Beast Machines,

kind of be like an updated thing, even though

a lot of the G1 stuff is what I'll end up using

as far as other just general Transformers podcasts

that we do. I'm trying to think, what else can

we talk about, Steve? I want this to be like

one of those episodes where you're just drawing

on and I'm like, I don't know what to talk about.

I don't know what to talk about. What do you

want to talk about? I don't know what you want

to talk about. Okay, well let's jump into the

news real quick get that knocked out of the way

Says revenge of the fallen according to box office

mojo .com has made over 760 million dollars first

movie worldwide Yes Overall for the year Yeah,

I don't think there's gonna be anything else

that comes out for sure that's gonna beat it.

No, sorry. Harry Potter could beat it. Well,

it's been out since the 15th and it's already...

Okay, let's get up the scale. Let's get up the

scale. 171 million to 760 million. Yeah, I don't

think so. Harry plopper is dying over here because

of transformers Well see an up is the number

I think it's going to end up all the way and

transformers and Star Trek Yeah, I think it'll

beat up I don't think anything is gonna be transformed.

I don't think it'll be transformers Oh, yes.

It deserves an Academy Award. Which would be

ethically awesome. Which I know that'll never

happen. The whole thing. Best picture. Which

I know that'll never happen. But, I mean, short

of that, you know, sound effects, special effects,

visual effects, whatever. You know, do I think

anything would any of the actors get? The best

actor or actress nods, no. But, no, not at all.

Definitely not. Eh, probably not. I wish they

had voice actor awards. That would be so cool.

Yeah, I would definitely like to see that happen,

but... I sincerely doubt that it will ever see

that. Yes, it's an only dream. Sucks, but it'll

never happen. Now if this was a Marvel year,

I would say that some of the Marvel movies that

Marvel has in production now that are slated

to come out next year would give Transformers

a run for its money, but there's nothing. else

that's gonna give this film a run for its not

like you know super duper summer blockbuster

star trek what you know I'm not saying anything

bad about Star Trek I love watching it you know

but you know Transformers is is is number one

for me I you know GI Joe just fucking bomb I'm

sorry Well, it'll bomb. I'm not denying that.

But I do think it'll be a better movie than the

one originally I predicted. Well, I'm not saying

- the trailer doesn't show shit. Like honestly,

it does not show anything. No, not at all. But,

it's not gonna be the best movie. I mean, why

the hell is there a Kid Rock song in the fucking

trailer? I don't know either Is there any other

news that we're gonna talk about Don't mind me

I'm both doing the review post and this so Says

Transformers and GI Joe helps to boost Hasbro

second quarter profits, which is like saying

no shit Sherlock And they're saying it'll continue

through 2010 and beyond no shit again Extremely

strong sales of shout factories g1 series 100

,000 exceptional I would like to put this out

there right now. If anyone wants to buy that

set for me before Comic Con, I will pay you the

money back August 1st. It's only $148 .40 for

U .S. residents to purchase it. But I'm pretty

much guaranteeing myself after Comic Con is next

weekend. Not this weekend, but the weekend after.

I'm pretty much guaranteeing it's going to sell

out. And I probably won't be able to get my hands

on a copy without paying a thousand bucks, and

I'm sorry, I'm not paying a thousand bucks for

it. Well, um, somebody pointed out - No, I wouldn't

expect to pay that much either. In - in between

discussions of Toycast episode 8 earlier this

- uh, last - you know, last night that, uh, once

that thing hits Comic -Con, it's gonna sell out

like hotcakes. So - Make more Yeah, and then

you know what they'll have to do Re -release,

uh, no, no No, no, I don't fucking cyber cube

the cyber cube Now yeah, if I like the cyber

cube I I just yeah, what kind of Transformers

fan are you? I just had an awesome, awesome thought.

If they, if Shout Factory ever got the rights

to release Beast Wars as a complete series. Wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Have the, like,

okay, we got the Matrix set and it, you know,

the sides open up and the top opens up kind of

like the Matrix is supposed to. No, the Beast

Wars set should be the golden discs. Or the golden

disc itself Yeah Well, they should make all the

discs golden with different symbols on it that's

that's and then the outside should be a stasis

pod stasis pod That's one toy that I wish they

would have made Yeah, I mean because if you think

about it like yeah, I'd like to see the bridge

too. Oh, yeah How cool would it be to have a

stasis pine to throw your figure in? Hmm. I've

always wanted one of those. So again, not to

really pander people, but if someone wants to

buy me the Matrix of Leadership Edition set,

send me an email. It's tfg1podcast at gmail .com.

Shout Factory set is pretty cool on the item

itself. So yeah, I'll have my official review

online after I get done sorting through the...

It's run spell check, folks. Well, because it

appears that I apparently... No, it's not a spell

check. I have two different copies of the file

and one's got one set of writing and then one's

complete and one's almost there. I was going

to say Kevin Mytunecast said that, because he

actually has both sets now, the Matrix set and

the GI Joe footlocker set. He said that footlocker

set is amazing. He said it's... Oh, did he? Yeah,

that's what he said. He sent me a message on

Skype. I haven't been able to sit there and actually

sit down instead of analyzing the first season.

Watch it that way. When he was talking about

to me was the... I think it's Intunecast episode

8, which just released today. I believe he was

talking about the actual box itself for the GI

Joe Complete series. I believe he told me it

was a metal casing. It's just like a footlocker

that you would find in the army. And he said

it's very durable. It's really, really awesome.

So that's nice that... The shot factory is going

to all this, you know, really intricate detail

for these these sets Yes Yes This shows up great

but um But yeah, it's it's really cool to have

them do that I wish that they would do a re -release

of Beast Wars even though I purchased them before

it would be nice to have a Redoing on it Just

I don't know just maybe get more special features

considering all this had was a couple animation

movement things and It had a missing 30 second

clip from the end of Nemesis Where Megatron it's

the original Megatron spark inked out of them

by primal It's like a rear clip it was it was

taken from the internet there's no better quality

one and then they have a breakdown like a pre

-production of Nemesis part two Before like all

the animations I would like to see the theft

of the Golden Disk thing on a complete series

of Beast Wars. Yeah. Yeah, I would definitely

love to see that on there considering that it's

made itself into canon. I would like to see that

in there. As well as like a miniature version

of that prequel comic. Because it shows from

where the Golden Disk Theft video ends. My only

complaint about the theft of the Golden Disk

video is Optimus is nowhere in it. Oh, okay.

Well, it was supposed to be just the Predacons.

See, even, like, they didn't have voices for

Dinobot, Waspinator, Terrorsaur, none of them.

It just had, like, some nameless characters for

the most part. And Cryotech, the, uh... uh...

yes mentor to megatron whom megatron betrayed

uh... the uh... messy this is what michael bayer

or alex kurchman robert or see that this is what

they should have done they should have looked

at the best of the golden disc video they should

based Movie Megatron off of Beast Wars Megatron

as far as his character, you know as That still

pisses me off the way that Megatron is characterized

in in range of the fallen of just be Yeah Megatron's

a bitch in the second movie. No, it was a badass

in the first movie. Everybody's scared of them

second movie. Nobody's scared of them Yeah That's

ridiculous. Just to find out that the first Decepticon

is a fallen Autobot. Do we have anything? What?

Satan himself in Transformer form. Do we have

anything else we want to talk about? You can

get the transformer generation one season one

point mirrors. Yeah, not 1 .1 season one on iTunes

or you can get it in the stores You can also

get GI Joe season 1 .1 out in stores now Generally

both range from anywhere from 1799 sale to 2999

regular and both have plenty of special features.

If you're one of those people like me that can't

afford to buy the entire set at one time and

they have to buy them all separately, you'll

pretty much still get the same content as well

as special features and everything else, although

you won't have the entire Foot Locker or Matrix

of Leadership set with the special boxes. You'll

still have the regular standard stuff and you'll

probably save about 40 bucks in the long run.

I don't know if you can catch them all on sale,

but you'll be waiting a while. I can't speak

for the GI Joe's because I don't know, but I

know for a fact that the transformer sets, the

individual sets, the special features that are

on the individual sets are not on the complete

series because I know for a fact it did not list...

They might be, I don't know, it says Ann Moron

on TransformersCollectorSet .com, but I don't

think that anybody has told me that the triple

changer feature from comic to cartoon or from

toy to comic to cartoon, whatever the hell it

is. I don't think that's on there, but I can't

be for certain. I'd have to get a set myself

to find out. Yeah. Yeah, I'll ask Kevin next

time I talk to him. Well, we'll have to ask someone

who does for the time being. Possibly Kevin.

And yeah, also another question I have that you'll

have to pass to Kevin is if they have the 1990

GI Joe. No, I think this is just the Sunbeau

series. Where it went from Sunbeau to Deet. I

think this is just the complete 80s series. Well

because this goes from 89 to 90 It only lasted

I think two seasons. I'm not sure I can ask him,

but I thought it was just a Sunbow series But

yeah for the most part That's pretty much it

for all things transformers I just wanted to

do a quick update episode. There will be another

episode of, actually it will be the first episode

of Cobra Cast that I'll be producing and it'll

have the audio review of the DVD set sent by

Shelt Factory. I will also start Cobra Cast even

if there's a small gap between episodes. Really

quick, I pulled up gijokecollectorset .com It

says the complete collector set the original

1980s class available for the first time as a

complete series limited edition footlocker 95

episodes 17 DVDs so 95 episodes was the Was the

Sunbow series 95 episodes or was it 95 episodes

in total between the two? Do the the closing
