About this Episode

We break down the Transformers Prime episode "Out of His Head," discussing how it effectively uses the internal conflict concept to bring Megatron back. We also cover the latest Dark of the Moon movie news, including the battle of Chicago, and the most recent guest announcements for BotCon. Finally, we weigh in on Hasbro's current release strategy for Transformers Prime figures and celebrate the show's Daytime Emmy nominations.

Check out all things transformers with Steve

Megatron TFG one mic and optimus solo. I could

dig it You're listening to all things transformers

version 2 .0 Hello and welcome to all things

transformers episode 8 I'm your host Steve Megatron

Phillips and joining me this week is if June

like hello Hello, and also joining us this week

is optimus solo Solo yeah, so what's up guys?

He's he I think he was trying for a thunderous

voice there. Yes that can be arranged in post

-production Now if only iTunes would let him

pay me anyway now I I went to comic book day

last weekend and There wasn't any free comics

that I care to take I Did research beforehand

so I knew not to go. Yeah, I know well Waste

of time it's only yes. I have a monthly bus pass.

It's only like a 10 -minute bus ride, so it wasn't

that bad um But I went there and I started looking

through some of their other stuff, and I noticed

that they had Green Lantern toys. I'm like, oh,

okay, so let's see what else. And they have the

toys up on a really, really high pegboard wall

type thing. And I looked around, looked around,

looked around. First thing I saw, Generations

Thundercracker. I mean, this is a comic book

shop that can't be, it has to be at least, 500

square feet if that I mean this is it's not a

tiny store, but it's not a huge like it It's

not like something like comic book world or you

know something that's really mainstream chain

type of thing And I'm like, okay Wow generate

what the hell is generation slender cracker doing

here blah blah blah and I kept looking I found

cup I found scourge So I got all three of those

and I sent Thundercracker to Kevin because I

know you wanted him. Yes My Seeker collection

is now complete Besides the BotCon stuff, which

you don't really want. No because I don't have

a thousand dollars for each one of them So what

else have been going on Kevin Lots of podcasting

telecast stuff coming up out the wazoo and A

lot of stuff over behind the voice actors getting

ready to be done. Lots of cool things. I don't

know why I'm talking like this. I don't know

why you're talking like that either. More things!

What about you, Steve? What's going on with you?

I'm still waiting for particular people from

Darkglass to get their freaking emails back to

me. Which, you know, certain cast members have

said, yeah, I've got the script, I'm working

on it. Some of them I haven't heard back from,

so... I'm going to give them a little while longer.

Before he unleashes Hell. Yes, before June, and

if I don't hear anything back from particular

people, I'm going to recast them from their backups.

Nice. Yes, so that is one thing that's kind of

irritating. The other thing is... Well, I don't

have anything irritating per se it's more so

my job sucks, but anyways Yeah, so I get to go

on vacation Yes, and I get to catch up on all

the podcasts we've released this week I haven't

even listened. I think I've listened to ATTF

from last week and that's about it. I haven't

really had time I've been too busy getting pissed

off at work You got a lot of goodness to listen

to Yes, I do. And I won't be driving, so I'll

be able to pay attention. That's good. Yes. So

I think we'll jump into the news before we go

into a train wreck. Like what almost happened

last week. It happens. It does, sometimes. Sometimes.

So yes, we'll jump into the Transformers, Dark

of the Moon. news In it cool news got to watch

30 minutes of the film and There's some good

things and some bad things We'll start with the

horrible thing Michael Bay lied to us. Damn it.

Well Skids and mudflap are in the film, but they're

toned down That's like Jar Jar Binks is still

in the film but in the background role. I wonder

how toned down they actually are. I mean, it's

whereas, you know, Jar Jar Binks was in the first

film of Star Wars and very prominent second film,

a little less. And by the third film, he was

just kind of there. And then the fourth film,

he no longer existed. Yeah. But Skids and Mudflap,

in my opinion, should be removed from continuity.

But that's besides the point. The other key points

are the Battle of Chicago runs for an hour Good

lord, and it's a battle completely That's Michael

Bay right there. Yes Megatron is very creepy

was still part of his head missing from the final

battle of Revenge of the Fallen He's two -faced

That could be interesting that could be especially

with shockwave appearing yes, that's the best

part Leonard Nimoy voices Sentinel Prime to perfection,

which means... Califatron, anyone? I don't know.

We'll be like, wait a second, are we watching

the movie? Animated one? Could be. Rosie Huntington

Whitely spends a lot of time in the tightest

clothes imaginable. She has a role in the film

and is reckoned to be better than Megan Fox,

perhaps because she has an active role. I could

care less. Yeah, I don't care about the humans.

I don't care about the eye candy. As far as Sam's

parents, they're barely in the film, which, you

know, that's to be expected. The only funny humans.

Yes, and the civilians die in large numbers during

the Chicago battle. Excellent. Murder! So what

do you think about that? Seems like it's gonna

be pretty good from what I've seen from the footage

And I actually know other spoiling I know major

spoilers like I know exactly what happens so

I'm not gonna reveal that on air so but No, huh,

you wouldn't know yes, I would Yeah, yeah, the

skids and mudflap thing... No, no, no, okay,

no. No, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm

not talking about skids and mudflap. I'm talking

about I know exactly how the movie ends. How

would you know? I just know, trust me. How do

you know that's not just fake stuff that he's

let out? All I'm saying is Michael Bay has been

known to... Sources, Captain Crapper. Michael

Bay has been known to... to lie and to put out

false propaganda. It's not coming from Michael

Bay. But anyway, moving on! Do you actually know

someone that's seen the movie? Moving on! What

do you think of the spoilers, Kevin? Well, I

haven't watched any footage whatsoever. I haven't

watched a single preview, really, except for

the one that they showed at the Super Bowl preview

because I don't like... being spoiled uh... but

as for like the stuff that steve was saying like

doesn't surprise me that there's a uh... long

ass battle uh... it could be good could be too

long it just depends on how they do it but the

fact that i don't know it seems like they're

gonna fix a few things in this one so like steve

said with the humans i could care less eye candy

whatever but i don't know i'm just waiting to

see some of the shockwave and sentinel prime

and all that stuff so it should be good yeah

i'm hoping that when they do like the enumerous

amount of tv spots that they're going to eventually

do advertising the film that one of them is we

hear the voice of shockwave and we hear nemois

sentinel prime at some point that stuff will

be cool hopefully the long battle is not as shitty

as the hour -long running scene and Revenge of

the Fallen? Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

It scares me that there's an hour -long battle

scene unless they've really done it right, because

I'm not a big, let's just watch action for an

hour type guy. I like some plots and some story

and some dialogue. But since when have we gone

to any of these Transformers films for plot,

story, and dialogue? Let's go to see the robots

get blown up. I don't want it to be a pod race.

Well, no, Michael Bay is not George Lucas. He's

a close second, but he's not George Lucas. But

I will continue to avoid previews until it actually

comes out in theaters. Moving on, the score and

soundtrack are officially on the website. Nice.

They're online and unfortunately Linkin Park's

song is in there. And, yes, you can listen to

different parts of the album, slash, score. I

am fine with the score. The soundtrack, I don't

care at this point. As revealed last week. Yeah.

The soundtrack, I could care less. The score,

you know... It depends on how the score fits

into the movie, like, I mean, Steve Jablonski

has done a great job with the two previous films

with the scoring of the music, but it just depends

on how it fits in with the movie, so I actually

have to, like, sometimes before I hear a score,

I have to see how the music fits into the movie,

and then I'm like, oh, well, I want that, so

then there's this. Yeah, I'm never a big person

on scores and soundtracks and movies like I like

it Maybe when it when I see the movie and I'll

be like all the music was cool for that But I'm

not usually one to go search that stuff out and

like I have it on my iTunes or something Not

a big soundtrack person I Am but it depends on

what it is Yeah, I'm more so this I like the

scores better usually Yeah, that makes sense

Moving on, we'll jump into the BotCon latest

guest information. BotCon. Yes. BotCon. We'll

end it with the latest one. We'll go back. And

I think we said Flint Dilley was going to be

there last week. I think we said that. Yeah.

Since then. Greg burger has been announced As

well as who you know if you don't know he did

Grimlock then you know you're fucking lost somewhere

in a cave Morgan lofting also to attend BotCon

More so people would know her as Baroness from

GI Joe. Yes As well as some other fighter star

moon racer from generation one Mike's much -hated

Springer character. Okay, hold on. Where are

you going there? Hold on, shut up. I don't like

the character. I never said I didn't. The only

Transformers voice actor I cannot stand is Neil

Kaplan. I know. So... Anyway, continue. Anyways...

And then following that is Jack Angel. So Neil

Ross and Jack Angel are the latest two. Jack

Angel's just a cool name. But he's got some of

the better characters though, I mean if you look

at him. Yeah, I just love the name Jack Angel.

He's got Magnus in Season 3, he's got Astro Train,

Rangette, Cyclonus, Omega Supreme. Yes. And then,

of course, Stan Bush has been announced as well

to attend, which that's not a surprise. He usually

goes to BotCon. Yeah, well, the last two or three

years he has because 2009 was in Pasadena, last

year was in Florida, and this year it's back

in Pasadena. Stan goes between California and

Florida all the time because he's originally

from Florida, so... With the announcement of

Stan being a BotCon this year I just so happen

to be I normally don't scroll down through the

tweet deck news feeds and stuff that I have on

my Twitter but I was removing some people so

I went down and Javier Fuentes tried to retweet

TFW and he made a snide remark about Stan Bush

and he's like all of them was going about on

i guess you have his mortgage first of all probably

one of the reasons that they want him there is

because well let's face it he is to transformers

what music is everything else i mean you know

he is one of the best transformers musicians

second of all this year it's been twenty five

years since transformers the movie came out so

that's something uh... just seeing stuff like

that But also it's the fact that like you said

he lives close by the same reason David Kay's

there, you know I mean, it's it's you know, and

they The thing about it is they also have to

agree to go. Yeah, and You can tell the ones

that still are very much into you know, the fans

in the franchise Yeah, by how often they like

to visit. Oh, yeah and being that Stan and David

are pretty much you know, neck and neck for how

many times they've appeared. Yeah. It's, you

know, you can just tell that they're more, you

know, there for the fans and everything. There's

three more slots on the BotCon page for the guests.

I'm assuming that one of those slots will be

taken up by Stan. The other two, it's a movie

year. So, I mean, Cullen has to be there. I mean,

unless they're not even going to do that. But,

I mean, normally movie years, Cullen has been

there. The final spot, I'm hoping, against hope,

and I know everybody is hoping for this, I'm

hoping that it will be Frank Welker's very first

BotCon. You know they're going to be saving the

best for last. I know! They do have a pretty

diverse group this year, I would say. Well...

When I was talking with Michael Wilson in the

Toycast News episode, we were kinda talking about

it off air, about the BotCon guest list, and

he's like, oh, they're all G1 people or whatever

else, and he said, I want, you know, the kids

that play the kids in, I want the people that

play the kids in Transformers Prime, or I want,

you know, Kevin Michael Richardson, or I want,

you know, everybody wants Frank Walker, you know.

Something to do with the cartoon. Not necessarily

all these old, you know say he hit Michael's

thing was oh, it's it's the same old You know

generation one people and I tried to point out

to him. Well, this is Jack Angel's very first

time being there Yeah, you know, I don't know

if Neil Ross has gone in the past. I Don't remember

if he hit he has ever been a guest but So if

that If one of those three slots is for Stan,

obviously, because they haven't updated the BotCon

page yet, the other two I'm hoping against hope

it will be Welker and Cullen. If Welker actually

does go, those that can't are going to shoot

themselves in the face. Yeah, they are. Myself

included. I can see them having a bunch of the

original people, though, just because, like you

said, it's kind of an anniversary of sorts and

whatnot. But the other thing is, with Welker

and Cullen, they can also speak to Transformers

Prime and the movie and stuff like that. They

give you multiple ways to look at things. Yeah,

and that's the other thing. I mean, it's not

just a movie year, but essentially every movie

year, Peter Cullen has been a guest. Mean I If

it wasn't in Pasadena if it was somewhere closer,

and they had the same guest list I would really

love to go just honestly just for the guests

I mean set the toys aside even though I love

this year's toy theme I would love to go just

for the guests because this is honestly This

is easily one of the best guest list that they've

put up so far in a while anyway pretty star -studded

Yep Shit, I'd love to go alone just because David

Kay's there Well, yeah But anyways, uh, I don't

think we have any more news per se Botcom Other

than I wish I was going to back on just for some

of these guests alone Yeah, yeah but Anyways,

with the Transformers Prime discussion this week,

and this week we are talking about Out of His

Head. Out of my head. Off with his head. This

show is, at least in my opinion, this show is,

you know, second only to Beast Wars right now

in storytelling. oh no doubt about that because

holy crap between sick mine and out of his head

oh my god even though last week when we're talking

about sick mine and I said I kind of foresaw

what was gonna happen with Megatron as far as

like when he like jumped after bumblebee went

through the bridge what this one the follow -up

this is how you pay off something like that And

not just leave it hanging Yeah, like I was really

when I first saw both of these episodes, especially

the first one. I was a little skeptic Skeptical

of stuff. I'm like I could keep thinking was

the g1 episode where they went into watching

McCall its Insides and we're going around and

I was like they're gonna really have to do this

Well in order for me to accept this whole in

his brain nonsense, but they pulled it off with

the second episode. It was just badass seeing

Megatron come back. Oh yeah. I rise again! And

fling around Starscream like a ragdoll. Yeah,

that was awesome, like Starscream coming after

him and everything, and then you see Megatron

just take his ass down and... It was just awesome

seeing that happen for one, but Two the the last

time something like this was used it was during

Beast Wars They had to get Like and this in a

sense this kind of reminds me of like a tarantulas

black arachnia moment Yeah Just because she had

to get something out of his head. Well, this

is the same thing Bumblebee had to get something

out of Megatron's head and they float over into

their consciousness the same way. It also reminds

me of when Mystic Rhino went into deep sleep

trying to find Primal's spark in Aftermath. Beginning

of Season 2 of Beast Wars, Aftermath, when Rhinox

goes under. Actually, it's not an aftermath.

That's coming to the fusions part one. Oh shit.

One of them damn... The Beast Wars and Beast

Machines did a lot with mine stuff and going

to... Right, but what I'm saying is like as far

as actual physical similarities in the stories

is Bumblebee had something jacked in the back

of his head. Rhinox had something in the side

of his head, the same type of medical type cortical

patch, whatever. Well, Blackar Agni had to do

something similar for Tarantulas to get the stasis

pod to work. It's the same concept. They did

a lot. This pulls another successful use of this

plot ploy from Beast Wars. It uses it to a higher

extent. Yeah, I totally agree with that a couple

other highlights I thought for the episode. I

love the way they're using knockout I love like

at the beginning that he's just kind of in the

corner listening to Starscream be stupid and

like he's very Sneaky and just like always in

the background. It's almost like Soundwave where

I sound we've always hear stuff although Soundwave

has been like MIA for a while well some wave

was in sick mind because Starscream was gonna

pull the plug on Megatron and Soundwave showed

up behind him. Yeah, I'm just saying, it seems

like he's barely been in the last couple episodes,

I don't know. What people in general that are

watching this cartoon, not just us, what we have

to remember is there was a news story months

ago where Jeff Klein said that the story that

they are forming, Bumblebee will... We will either

find out how Bumblebee lost his voice or Bumblebee

will get his voice and Soundwave will also have

a voice eventually. So, you know, people are

all like, oh, I'm tired of Bumblebee beeping

and R2D -ing it up and all this and all that.

In the movies, I agree. Bumblebee needs a voice.

In Prime, I'm okay with it because it's a way

for them to get the exposition out. Yeah. It

has never really bugged me. I mean, he did a

lot of beeping in this last episode, but... It's

never really bugged me too much, and how about

him just owning ratchet? Yeah I'm like ratchets

like way bigger, but with the power of Megatron

inside him. He was beating the crap out of him.

He's like whop whop down bitch Exactly I don't

know it was a good episode. It's a good way to

bring Megatron back. I loved Starscream's lines

throughout this. I mean he he starts off as the

Traitor is Starscream we all know and love at

the beginning ranting and raving and then you

know of course gets caught but He's like we can

keep this quiet He's like I'll be your second

-in -command. He's like yeah, okay and Later

in the episode Starscream uses an a team line

Yes, I love it when a plan comes together. I

know and I started laughing I'm like oh, that's

such a cheap throw in but it was great We so

I so have to find Steven blooms information.

I have to get that we have to get him on an interview

Yeah, have him say I love it when a plan comes

together star scream, and then he says listening

to geek cast Yeah But then he's like Lord Megatron

you are healed praise y 'all spark. It is a miracle

and then Megatron's like oh It's a miracle alright

star scream if you survive what I have planned

for you. Yeah That was just good at Welker goodness

Frank Welker goodness And I still love the way

that he's adapted g1. Oh, I know it's it's a

nice update. It's allowed to still do it, but

it's more More in his voice range than the original

is now. Well, you know We all have to understand

is you know g1 was almost 30 years ago That's

a long time to keep a voice the same guy has

aged, you know I mean Frank Welker has grown

up since then and I'm not trying to insult the

guy at all I'm just saying that you know things

have changed voices change and He even said in

the BotCon stuff. Was it last year the year?

Yeah, it was last year that he had to change

the voice because It hurts his his vocal cords

to do it in that higher octave. So he had to

make it lower and it It's awesome. You can still

kind of hear the old g1 version But it's still

unique to this cartoon, and I absolutely love

it Yeah, I think really where you where you can

hear it is if is when he says classic lines I

Really I said this last week, and I know Kevin

will like this I don't know if you listen the

last week's episode, but I said last week that

When optimists goes in in the in the six month

sick mind episode the optimists Illusion went

one shall stand one shall fall. I was actually

hoping that Welker would have done. I will crush

you with my bare hands So what do you guys think

about the where it's going though from here Have

you guys looked at the next episode descriptions

and stuff like that? Yeah, the Shadow Zone thing.

I actually saw the extended clip. No, I'm not

even talking about just that, but Operation Breakdown

and Criss Cross and aren't those the... Yeah,

I've looked at them. I don't remember really.

It appears that they're bringing... Well, obviously

the next episode talks about Skye Quick coming

back for a second appearance. Operation Breakdown

talks about... The Autobot saving breakdown who

has been taken by Silas and his agent so they're

bringing that character back Yeah, and then the

very next one talks about air arachnid Plots

for revenge against RC and Jack in negotiating

with Silas Yeah, so it seems like they're bringing

a lot of people back sky quick arachnid Silas

and I'm kind of interested to see where they

go with all this I'm interested to see how Whether

he put it in himself or whether see I don't think

I don't see like what with the preview that they

showed for the For this week's episode the one

that's supposed to be coming out. I Don't I don't

see Megatron punishing Starscream by throwing

dark energon into him. That's not a punishment

That's giving Starscream power. So I'm assuming

that clip that we saw With Starscream having

himself infused with dark energon. I'm assuming

he did that to himself Yeah, I can see that because

Megatron would have just like cut his arm off

or something his punishment I don't know he wouldn't

have Megatron would not give Starscream dark

energy on he had to have stolen that Yeah, we'll

find out this week. I guess We shall find out

yeah, I mean I think I Think that you know like

you guys said Starscream stole it Yeah, because

yeah, he Megatron would not ever give Starscream

enough power to defeat him or prime This is the

point where I was just waiting for Megatron to

blow Starscream and disintegrate him like we

saw in the animated movie It may come to that

though eventually Yeah, this Megatron has balls

right? Thank God we they're not real and we don't

see them, but yes he does Hit him with the rail

gun Disintegrate him. That's funny Robo balls,

but anyways I think that that about covers all

the transformers goodness from this week Are

there any particular things you're looking forward

to in the near future? I'm actually looking forward

to see what Hasbro does for SDCC this year. I

Kind of saw a news item and I covered I talked

about it in toy cast a little bit That there's

more details on transformers prime toys But there

was a little note in there that said one of the

SDCC exclusives will be a transformers prime

optimus with matrix But, I'm waiting for, and

I know Hasbro, especially the Transformers part

of Hasbro, they won't announce any SDCC stuff

until after BotCon, obviously. So, that's pretty

much what I'm waiting on, is just the stuff that

we see at BotCon. I am really surprised that

they didn't bring out Transformers Prime toys

before this, though. Because, to me, they're

missing their window for selling a lot of that

stuff. See, I disagree, though. Well, if you

think about it though, this has been going on,

Transformers Prime has been on the air since

November. Kids have been watching it for almost

a half a year now, and would have been into buying

the toys, and then the movie's gonna hit and

it's gonna completely overshadow stuff. Well,

see, that's the thing though, because there hasn't

been an official release date on any Transformers

Prime stuff, they've just said that it's coming.

And if they had started, if they had launched

the toy line back in November, which back then

they hadn't even said that there was going to

be a toy line until afterwards, basically the

way I see it is if it launched in November and

went up to May, went up to like this week when

the Dark of the Moon stuff was supposed to hit

shelves, the Dark of the Moon stuff would just

do the same thing that Revenge of the Fallen

did to animated. Right, but at least they would

have gotten all the sales in from the last five

months. Okay, I can see that point, but what

I'm hoping is is that the Dark of the Moon toys

don't spend, you know, a year and a half, two

years releasing toys like Revenge of the Fallen

did, and I'm hoping that they'll move into Prime

after the Dark of the Moon stuff is worn off.

We're gonna get Prime toys when season two begins,

probably. And honestly, I'm okay with that. See,

but I kind of agree with Kevin though. I think

that they are missing their window just because

kids would be playing with them Mm -hmm. I mean,

I'm not gonna do like a whole huge line But they

could have at least done some of the main characters.

Yeah done the main ones. I mean because I know

Back when we watched like Beast Wars and everything

else they came out before the series started

Mm -hmm, and then you had them during the show

Hey, I don't know. It's just I think it's And

look at the hype it's getting I mean it's getting

nominated for all these awards. It's you know

It's getting the press it's getting like people

are watching it, so I just feel like they were

they could have Took taking advantage a little

bit of that, but we'll see and the other thing

is you know Supposedly and you know rumors whatever

Supposedly, this is the last live -action Transformers

film Michael Bay's gonna do Supposedly, this

is the last one for a little while. So that's

why I say that I think it's I think it's okay

that they're waiting But I don't know where you're

getting that information because they said that

they are planning on doing more They're not gonna

stop this until the money stops coming in That's

what I'm saying the Michael may not come back.

Yeah, they're going to go on with the Transformers

4 Right, but what I'm saying is is that after

the movie gets released and all the toys are

out After the movie hits DVD sales, whatever

It'll probably be two three years, but it's still

going to there's still going to be one and that's

what I'm saying Yes, I agree with Kevin and the

fact that they are kind of missing out on the

past five months of stuff but because Transformers

Prime is Slated to be more than you know, two

or three seasons. They have that time after the

movie to push the toys. I can see both points,

but they're still missing it because they've

always sold up to three different lines at the

same time. And with this, that means they're

only going to sell the movie line because the

classics and everything else have been pulled

from our shelves everywhere around here. Yeah,

the Generations line has almost run its course,

which kind of sucks. It has, but I think that

there's still potential there. I don't think

it's done. It's come back four times already.

Well, no, I know, but I'm saying, like, as far

as having the stuff in, like, case in point,

Thundercracker. Every time I go to Walmart and

Target all as I see is skull grins and Dark mounts

and more for several trouble movies and blurs

and whatever else I found Thundercracker at a

comic shop, you know, so I mean It will come

back. I'm not saying it won't but I'm saying

right now Generations has run its course because

you've got dark of the moon toys coming out this

week They've had generations, they've had Revenge

of the Fallen, and they've had animated figures

on the shelf, though, for the last, like, two,

three years. So, I mean, it's... There's no reason

why TF Prime and Dark of the Moon could be out

at the same time right now. Yeah. There was another

piece of news I forgot to mention before, though,

since I already kind of brought it up. The whole

Daytime Emmy Award nominations came out, and

since Transformers Prime did get quite a few

nominations, including... Best directing, best

writing, and outstanding performer in an animated

program for Peter Cullen. So I thought that was

kind of cool that Transformers Prime got those

nods. Yeah, they got six nods and they won two

of them. Well, that kind of is misleading though.

They've won two of them that we know of so far.

Right. They could win more. Right. It's the early

releases. So they could win up to eight. Okay.

Which is good stuff. Yep. Hopefully it keeps

going. Yeah. And surpasses all the other shows.

We can hope. Yes, we can hope. So I guess we

will cut this short and, well, not short, but

just cut it off. It's before we go rambling.
