Intro to the Show and Theft of the Golden Disc

This is Megatron. This is the glorious Megatron.

And this episode of the Beast Unleashed podcast

features Stephen C. Phillips, Mike Blanchard,

and Michael Wilson. Hello, and welcome to the

world's first ever Beast Wars Beast Machines

Review podcast. This is the Beast Unleashed podcast

brought to you by the Geekcast Radio Network.

I am your host, TFDU, and Mike. I'm joined by

Pecanacourt Michael. Hello. Hey, how's it going?

And Steve Megatron. You're going to be giving

you the listeners the insight to the newest transformers

cartoon or podcast from the geek cast radio network

this was an idea that Like I think by episode

13 of TFG one it was like I Know Steve had Steve

had me on all things transformers episode 9 is

when we first started talking and you know collaborating

and all that stuff And he asked me what was after

TFG1 and I said honestly I don't know. I said

if I ever get any of the Beast cartoons maybe

a Beast Machines podcast and lo and behold two

years later, no not two years later, one year

later here we are. Actually it's very funny.

This will actually be released December 12th

2009 the one year anniversary of the TFG1 podcast

started. Go figure. Considering the show was

originally planned to be started back in June

of 2009 So, how are you guys what's going on

with you Steve? Well Happy to be back into the

daily grind of podcasting and websites and all

that other great stuff Not really much else nothing

bad really going on just kind of ready to do

the beast unleashed and Talk turkey No, we had

enough of that last month Yes And you want to

know how Megatron says it Nicely done sir Yes,

okay What are you been up to Michael? We just

talked to you on toy cast but that won't air

until Monday, I believe Yeah, actually today,

my wife graduated from college for her master's

degree. Awesome. Yeah. So we went out after she

got home from her final class and celebrated

a little bit. That was nice. So she's actually

now qualified to be a principal. Oh, cool. if

it came right down to it. In fact, at her school,

she is the de facto principal in case the principal

or the vice principal is gone for the day. So

it's, I don't know, a nice thing to put on the

resume, I suppose. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. As far

as I'm concerned, you know, people have heard

Tooncast episode 28, which was released yesterday.

Well, as of this recording it was released Wednesday

of this week. And this evening I went out to

Walmart and Target looking for some new Transformers

toys. I was specifically looking for another

Voyager Prime and I was wanting Voyager Blitzwing.

Don't ask me why. I saw a review of it and I

like the robot mode. Yeah Only and I've kind

of found a way around this if you turn on his

arms if you turn the wing panels Like they're

facing his arms and the wings are basically facing

up and down. It's not so bad But if you have

them facing the back of it, it kind of sucks

in the robot mode But the robot mode is the only

thing I like about it. I don't like the alt modes

whatsoever Blitzwing Oh, you got a blitzwing

swing. Yes. Oh cool. Yep Good fine. Yes, I found

blitzwing and I found cyber charm mode optimus

prime gently when I got cyber charm mode optimus

prime home and the only thing I really bought

him for was his axe it does not fit in Voyager

Wow I could shave some stuff off, but yeah Crazy

glue. Yeah, I'm not I'm not a a a toy Kid basher

No rubber bands. It's actually very funny. I

went to Walmart the Voyager not the Voyagers

the The deluxe is there they restocked everything

but that they had at least six of each of electrostatic

sound wave and freeway jazz Unfortunately, I

don't like you those But I don't whatever Unfortunately,

I went to Target and I went to Walmart and Well

Target at Walmart had the the deluxe is for 1188

Target had them for 844 Wow So yeah, but anyway,

I'm kind of happy about it kind of excuse me.

I gotta go to Target No, you don't You've already

steals when it targets boys. Thank you very much

That's why I gotta go I gotta steal some more.

No, no, it's gotta catch them all well that was

a bad pun that was bad pun that was armada oh

ok armada the pokemon of the transformers yes

yes really um actually it's unfortunate uh...

i'm kinda pissed at the blitzwing toy right now

because uh... when i cut him out of the box um...

Didn't realize after I unscrewed all the wires

that I thought needed to be unscrewed There's

actually a wire inside of the damn toy. I nearly

almost ripped my fingernail completely out of

the package So I Eventually got it all I actually

had to transform him into robot mode to get the

wire off of his damn body I have no idea why

and when I tried transforming Cybertron mode

optimus he like my blur when I first got blur

Cybertron mode optimus is now a paraplegic Save

it for toy cast. Yes. I know I know so yes the

beast unleashed podcast. We've got we will have

30 episodes covering both beast machines or both

beast wars and beast machines We already have

one voice actor interview that is the interview

of David K that Steve and I had already done

Previously to this recording Which will be featured

on the feed and the website the same day this

goes up Excuse me, um the most I feel like being

mean and making them wait till Saturday. Oh,

that's That's point both of them are growing

up Saturday. No, this one goes up Friday No,

this one goes up Saturday because that's the

one year anniversary since the whole plan man

It won't be a year later the plan stain Anyway,

um, I was gonna go in a toshi station to pick

up some power converters shut up Shut up Luke

sky -fokker It's why you bitch Luke is what that

would be yes exactly um The plan for this show

is you're going to get the listeners are gonna

get an episode every other week at this point.

We have not What? I wasn't saying shut up At

this point we have not determined what day the

episodes will be released It just depends on

when we can actually record them the week before

So That's that day that ends in why? It would

be all of them. So technically we could do one

a day and have the show done by say March If

we can keep them short enough, that would be

kind of cool. I do know I'm doing that. No Much

production work Action work. What the fuck you

talking about? I do all the action. You only

do the artwork Yeah, but I have to put them online

genius you always say oh it's not a bother to

put them online it did it's not that i got to

do their ssv and then i got to put them on the

information to put in the rss feed man yeah i

know you type it yeah exactly i'm lazy also copy

and pasted it still takes work this is like this

yeah before we get anything done here before

we even begin let's get all of the behind the

scenes action out of the way First, we're going

to talk about the production operations that

go into building the Beast Unleashed. Yeah, well,

we've covered that. Yes, thank you. All right.

Well, we are getting to actually it's funny.

Steve. in the episode zero, instead of just going

on and on like we are now, why don't we actually

review something, seeing as how episode one will

not be until January 2010, and I said why don't

we start with the theft of the golden disc. So

you will hear our discussion on that next. So,

the theft of the Golden Disk. Steve, you want

to give us some background information on this

thing? Sure. Yes, this episode starts out with

an introduction by Cryotech, who is basically

a big gangster kind of entity within the Cybertronian

race. He's a... fall out basically from the old

Decepticons and now Predacons and well basically

what he's after is stealing the Golden Disk in

which he entrusts this mission and to his star

pupil who is his little basically bitch to start

out with is Megatron and he wants him along with

his other Predacons to go five golden disc and

basically bring it back to him and Megatron and

cryo tech are basically having power plays against

each other throughout this Episode on who's going

to betray who and succeed So basically it goes

off to the The part with Megatron and his group

going to the power plant part of them are attacking

the few Maximals, there's a couple Predacons

on Cryotech's side who are basically in it to

set up Megatron to fail. Of course, Megatron's

group quickly disposes of them and furthermore

frames them and Megatron basically ends up with

the Golden Disk and a Cryotech ends up arrested

by the end of it, screaming Megatron's name.

And yeah, so this is basically the very first

direct episode of The Beast Wars, even though

it's not physically in the show. And it is for

the BotKind 2006 year. Actually, I think it's

BotKind 2007, my fault. I think it was 06. Oh,

this was original Airdate. It was July 1st at

BotCon 2007. That's odd. No, it was 2006. It

was basically the pre -Beast War bodies of the

crew of the Axelon. Well, and Dinobot. So you

had a... Yeah, that was for the... Dawn of Future's

Past, which was the 2006 BotCon, this physical

video came out a year later, I believe, but they

didn't have, it was kind of rushed, so they didn't

have time to actually sync it up with the designs

from the Dawn of Future's Past comic book. Well,

I mean, it looks pretty close. I mean, the designs

are the same for DinoBot. The designs are the

same for Waspinator, who was released at the

2006 BotCon. Yeah. Him and Megatron and Dinobot,

at least. Yeah, and that clocker mold was used

for Cheetor and... Tigatron. Yeah, for both of

them. And they used that a whole lot. Well, they

basically said that... I know they said Tigatron

was one of the Maxcom force. Yep. Yeah, and they...

Basically all of the the security guards and

police officers or whatever in here were all

in that clock or mold Which is neat. I mean,

it was cool to be able to spot, you know, who

is in which mold like cryo tech is clearly a

energon shock blast Which was actually fits this

character. Yeah. Yeah. No, it was very cool I

mean, I think I would have preferred to see something

more Like, uh, you know, the Transmetal 2 Dragon.

But, you know, they're not gonna do that for

a pre -Beast Wars figure. Well, eventually. Yeah,

well, Cryotech eventually ends up with that form

in the, uh, Universe comics. Well, yeah, they

created a figure for him. But he also gets that

form of the dragon. Yeah, yeah. Uh, no, the,

uh, I kinda forget which year Cryotech came out.

But yeah, he was in the universe land Yeah, when

I first saw him I was like who the hell is this

guy No, seriously because all right. I as I've

said before I've seen Beast Wars But I never

actually saw this until Steve pointed it out

to me You know, of course after seeing Beast

Wars, I know You know Megatron and all that stuff.

As far as Cryotech goes, why does he remind me

of Calypso from the Twisted Metal video games?

He sounds just like him. I've never played that

game. I've never played it either. You said that

he sounds just like him. A little bit, yeah.

Yeah, this guy, I believe it's Frank Todaro that

did Cryotech. I could be wrong. I'm looking that

up on the wiki right now. But he, no, it's actually

Brad Vennerable. He's done Transformer fan dub

work on tfcog .net. So I've actually worked with

some of these people on fan dubs. Yeah. No, if

you, and I know Michael won't do this, but Steve,

if you go back and listen to our, the end of

our GeekCast radio episode five, the top 50 thing,

I put Twisted Metal audio in there for those

games when I was talking about them in that episode

so you can hear Lipso's voice in that. And of

course, whoever is going to be listening to this

show will know who I'm talking about if you've

played the Twisted Metal games. But yeah, and

we were talking about this off the air and you

guys started... Basically ribbing me on it because

I wasn't for sure because I had never seen this

before I said it and one of my notes is is Dinobot

in this is no voice credit for him because he

does And I just wasn't sure I was like, okay

I see the shield Twirly thing and I see the sword

and I see the colors and I see the blue face

and I see the teeth but I'm just I'm not sure

and Yes, he is in this Yeah, he was the third

character shown besides if you don't count the

diagnostic drone Yeah, I find it very funny that

they show the diagnostic drone in this now see

actually they have a lot of References in the

this 10 minute video There's a lot of like generation

one sounds and References to the dawn of futures

past you get the statute of Optimus Prime in

front of the building is the diagnostic drone

from Beast Machines. Behind Cryo -Tech in a couple

scenes, you'll see the V -icon symbol as well

as a motorcycle drone on the screen behind it.

I actually had found that out through the wiki

and went back and watched it and it is clearly

in there. There are a couple other Easter eggs,

like a statue of Antagony, which is a BotCon

figure, basically a female Inferno. and Jay Axis

from the Generation 2 comics. There's CyberPlanet

Key, Replica of the Matrix, a couple little pretender

things, and yeah, so I mean there's a lot of

little references to other aspects of Beast Wars

and Beast Machines hidden in there. Yeah, I definitely

picked out that Null Ray sound when they were

doing some of the battling, Starscream's Null

Ray sound in it. Yeah. Was wondering who the

the the female statue was and for some reason

I was thinking it was a black arachnia Thinking

why is she there? That makes no sense Yes, I

would like to have seen I mean, I know this is

just a 12 -minute, you know preview thing or

whatever You know kind of giving a little bit

of history before the Beast Wars cartoon or the

comic or whatever But I would have liked to have

seen what like take Take the characters from

Beast Wars and take the first five minutes of

the first episode and have them on Cybertron

getting to the ship to chase Megatron. I'll get

to that once we get to that episode next time

we're recording, but I'd like to have seen something

with them on Cybertron before they go to Earth.

That's essentially what I want to say what the

comic book is. Yeah, that's basically what the

comic book is, but you never actually see much

of the Maximals following Megatron until they're

actually in their ships. In the cockpit, a very

dark cockpit. You can basically just see their

faces. Yeah, and it was actually the only character

or two that you actually see without a beast

form in the very first episode. The whole body

is Megatron. Oh, yeah, when they're in the ship,

yeah, and it's kind of dark so I mean you can't

really see too much detail but you can see enough

to where they actually made a They made that

like Megatron's actual form and the form you

see in this video clip and That was the back

on toy is actually like a powered -up armor kind

of like how power master prime is oh I was gonna

say like an ultra Magnus almost. Yeah, basically

Megatron in Golden, in Theft of the Golden Disk,

David Kay, I don't know how long it was, well

no, it was after Beast Wars had even aired. So...

Yeah, cause I mean this is... He sound, but he's...

Almost seven years later. Yeah, he sounds like

really young in this though, for the Megatron

boys. But they didn't have as much of the audio

editing as they did in the Beast Wars, and...

Obviously, he's aged, so the voice isn't going

to be exact. It actually does kind of fit with

this because it's not as dark toned as this Beast

Machines version. It does sound younger, so I

see what you're saying there. Which, if you're

doing a prequel, that's good. I'm not complaining

about it, but I don't know. When I first heard

it, I'm like, what? That's Megatron? No, that's

not Megatron. Even though I knew it was, I was

like, what the heck's up with his voice? I didn't

realize it was David Kay. I thought maybe they

had somebody, or maybe they've got Steve doing

his best Megatron impersonation. It's actually

very funny that you mention that, Michael, because

I actually brought up the fact to Mr. Kay that

Steve does impersonate his Megatron voice. And

what did he tell you, Megatron? He basically

told me that it's the best impersonation and

best Megatron copy that he's ever heard. Nice.

Yep. Straight from the source. Yes. Do we have

anything else that we want to bring up? Other

than the only errors they had in this, I mean

it's kind of crazy they have errors in a 10 minute

clip that... You know, there's a whole nother

comic and then a whole series on but Scorpion

actors or in tarantulas have different bodies

than they do in the comic following these events

But that that had to do with lack of production

time So they just kind of used old models of

animation to Make it easier on them I liked Like

the buzz bomb or the the way they used oh Oh,

is that our motto cyclonus I? Should say the

I think our motto cyclonus popped up twice in

there once the the buzz bomb remold and then

once as a Some random Predacon getting shot up

so technically outside of the actual you know

what what letting us know how The theft of the

gold happened. This is basically one giant really

one giant toy commercial outside of the actual

cartoon Well, there's no toys of these I mean

aside from Dinobot and Megatron which were Well

and waspinator which were bot -con exclusives

and probably very hard to wrangle The rest of

these are are not really toys, but you just said

that they're they're from They're still from

other eras. They made 3D models of existing toys,

but they gave them different heads. You would

almost expect some of these characters to pop

up again at a BotCon if they said, well, let's

revisit Dawn of Future's past and let's create

a pterosaur and we'll create a backslash. I would

kill for a toy of this Megatron, even though

it's just a Cybertron figure repaint in a Slavery

mold. Cybertron Defense Red Alert, I think it

was. I should send pictures of mine. You suck.

Oh, you didn't go to Vodka that year? I can't

afford to. Oh, I'm sad. Where was it in 2006?

It was Rhode Island. Was it Rhode Island that

year? No, that was 2006. That was 2007. No, 2006

it was in Lexington, Kentucky. Woohoo! Yeah,

you could have went. I was going to go to that

one, but short of price and all that, yeah, I

couldn't go because of the price. Oh, yeah, we

flew in. That was so bad. If I had known you

then we could have hooked up for dinner or something.

Yeah, you bastard. Sorry. So, I actually, as

a treat for the listeners, I, because I wasn't

sure how to approach the episode zero outside

of us just shooting the shit about how the show

is going to play out. And this is before I even

had the idea to actually talk about the comic

and the Theft of the Golden Disk. When I watched

it for like the third time this afternoon, I

actually, as I was watching it, I ripped the

audio from it. So that is what they will hear

after this discussion, some ads, and then the

outro and the closing music. As far as the audio

for the intro outro, The way I'm going to do

that is, for season one of Beast Wars, it'll

have the season one intro outro from the show.

Even though they don't change that much between

the three seasons, there are slight changes.

Like in the first season's intro, you can hear,

or the first season's outro, you can hear a lot

of the sound effects, like the blasts and everything

else. In the second season's one, you can hear

significantly more music and less sound effects.

For the outro, so I'm gonna change it up each

time we switch from a season to a season Yeah,

do you guys have any other thoughts before I

we do you do the Steve Other than there they

finally have a total count of how many times

Megatron says yes and no throughout the series

That's gotta be on the wiki somewhere Yeah, he

says, uh, yeah, that's where I found it. I have

actually seen the video, though. It says, Megatrend

says yes 166 times and no 54 times. And it says,

ironically, for someone who said yes so much,

his last line in the series was, no. Oh, that's

right, when he's screaming one pr - okay, yeah.

Yeah, we will get - When Rhinox rams him and

then when, uh, he's on the back of the ship.

But of course I'm - Cutting to the end of the

show, so... You're giving it all away! Wait,

you mean... Spoiler! Nemesis. That's Beast Wars

only. I'm not counting Beast Machines, because

he's kind of taken on a slightly different role.

But not really, it's still Megatron. Did you

know that originally Hasbro intended to wipe

out Megatron's body and make him be reformatted

as Inferno? Well, that's why. That was according

to a 1997 interview. Wow. See now, even back

then, they really knew how to screw up a character.

Yeah, they almost did, too. If they would have

put him as Inferno, never would have liked the

character again. That would have been it, yeah.

I would have been like, that's it, I'm done.

I give up. Sorry to interrupt you guys, we should

mention that I have gotten tons during my 48

hour marathon of watching Beast Wars for pure

enjoyment, because I hadn't actually watched

it before all the way through at once for pure

enjoyment. I got screen grabs from each episode,

not really just like... Good images that I think

would make good art. So each podcast episode

will have a new art image each time we do an

episode. So that's a plus for the iTunes and

RSS feed people. So we will be right back. I've

called you here in regard to a little -known

artifact called the Golden Disk, a seemingly

insignificant scrap of metal made by a small,

frail species hardly worth mentioning. And yet,

this object holds the key to the conquest of

the whole of Cybertron. Of over 300 cycles, the

Golden Disk has carried the mystery of incredible

power under its shimmering surface. I can tell

you the tales of a thousand Maximals and Predacons

who have hunted this dark relic. Every story

has the same ending. Destruction. I have nothing

but faith in you, Megatron. In fact, I am as

fond of you as if you were my own son. The plan

to recover the Golden Disk is daring. Ambitious.

I might even say brilliant. After all, it is

my idea. My agents have, let's just say... stumbled

up to the ship you need. More importantly, they

have identified the data archive that contains

all the information the Maximals have on the

disk, including its current location. Don't forget,

Megatron, you may retrieve the Tatacon, but only

I can decode it. Of course, Cryotek. Take care

my people You know what to do backslash and security

web would be trouble team alpha let us bring

down the flights yes consider it done haven't

heard that now who needs to watch that back the

security grid is down quickly before emergency

power kicks transmission on private frequency

x9. Acknowledged. Encode transmission received.

Commencing full decryption. Time to completion.

3 .25 cycles. Megatron! the disk in my hands.

What about the Maximals? Who do you think called

them? With the archive destroyed, there will

be no evidence to implicate me. And Megatron?

Someone had to take the fall and throw the Maximals

off the trail long enough for the real crime

to go down. But you said... What I said was true.

I couldn't have been fond of Megatron if he were

my own son. But well, if you lose a son, it is

possible to get another. There's only one film

to disc. After all, he was bound to betray me.

I simply chose to betray him first. Regi -Croak!

Haha, yeah. I wish to speak to my lawyer. He

had many stories, all short and exciting, but

nobody knew, and so he began writing. He sat

there all summer and skillfully sought to perfectly

ponder and polish each plot. The settings were

set, all the characters cast, his fingers were

flying and flailing so fast, and soon the young

man with the snowy complexion quickly concocted

the caffeine collection. He smiled, satisfied

with his clever creation. Oh, the things that

did pour from his imagination. Stories of pirates

and future police, of devils and bullies, and

a twist press release fantasy mystery both are

included comedy action no genre excluded you

well as an interview with Stan Bush. You can

find us on iTunes and the web at www .geekcastradio

.com. Tune in. We are back and apparently Mr.

Wilson had some stuff he still wanted to talk

about so... I gotta get this off my chest here

because I'm just confused and I thought maybe

you guys would shed some light on this. Basically,

the plan to steal the Golden Disk... was to split

up into three teams. And the first team of Megatron

and Dinobot and Durge was to secure the data

chip. And the second team, which was Scorponok

and Backslash, was to cut the power so that team

one could then get inside without being noticed.

And team three, which was Waspinator, Pterosaur,

and Buzzbomb, were supposed to steal transport,

were supposed to steal the dark side. As far

as we could tell, that was their job. Each team

had a Cryotech Patsy, Team 1 had Durge, Team

2 had Backslash, and Team 3 had Buzzbomb. And

in each case, they kind of got theirs, leaving

pretty much just the core Predacon crew of the

Dark Side. And then there's Tarantulas, who basically

Intercepts the transmission from Megatron and

cackles Yes, but yeah, it was just cool. I wasn't

really sure what that was signifying but What

was the point for team three to steal the dark

side I can understand if Megatron says I'm gonna

steal this disc And I got to get the hell off

the planet and I can understand if he says I

need this ship Or you know, I think the way it

was told later Waspinator and Pterosaur just

kind of show up with the ship and say, look what

we got you. And Megatron's like, wow, this is

really nice. I think that's in the comic. Where

Megatron's like, wow, this is much better than

I expected as a getaway ship, which is cool.

But why would that team be sanctioned by Cryotech?

Why put Buzz Bomb in there? What did Cryotech

think that they were stealing the ship for? Steve

would have to talk about this because, honestly,

I have no clue. Well, I mean, maybe, I think

that the idea there was for them just to go in

and shoot up the Predacon base. But I don't,

and maybe just a byproduct of that was, hey,

the ship happens to be here. But, I mean, was

that supposed to be a diversion? And if so, why

attack the Predacon base? Why not try the Maximal

base? I mean, it's kind of like shooting your

own guys. It didn't make any sense to me. I think

that was just a group sanctioned by Megatron

and I think that they just kind of I think that

maybe TerrorSword and Waspinator knew about it

and BuzzBomb probably was just sent with them

and just kind of you know because he seems more

like a crony anyway more than those guys did

Right, well they haven't killed him though Yeah,

TerrorSword shot him in the back and left him

to die But yeah, they use that as their getaway

vehicle. I think Megatron initially, when he

was being told of the Golden Disk, Ernie had

his plan set up to backstab Cryotech, just like

Cryotech had a plan at the same time to backstab

Megatron, only Megatron beat him to it. And Tarantulas'

sole purpose was to decode the data chip to find

the location of the Golden Disk so Megatron could

steal it. Instead of having to go back to cryo

tech, which is what project wanted Right and

I said cryo tech got the whole music signal.

Yes, because Megatron is freaking awesome for

that I Know a lot of people sometimes some people

don't like to watch through credits but when

I was getting because I wanted I love the the

outro music to this it's Like, it's almost like

the classic G1 theme, but it's like in a slightly

different musical tone. But at the very end of

it, Cryotech's like, I want my lawyer. It says,

I wish to speak to my lawyer. It's right after

the closing credits. Yeah, that was the memorable

clip for the thing. But yeah, it says that the

full version of the theft. was put up on YouTube

and embedded on the official Transformer Collectors

Club. Wow, that's a mouthful. In January of 2008.

And then it says the YouTube version also contains

an extra scene not in the BotCon reel. And it

was the shot of the dark side in the hangar with

Pterosaur, Waspinator, and Buzz Bomb when they

took it over. It says that the ship was never

actually appeared in the original version. Yeah,

I think Buzz Bomb was dead by then. It was just

Waspinator and Pterosaur taking the ship. Yeah,

they're awesome like that, but I definitely did

like the ending credits that they used, like

the remix of the original G1 music. Yeah, yeah,

that was pretty awesome. So I guess, okay, now

do we have any more other thoughts that we want

to discuss before I close this out? No, I think

that's it. Think I think we're good. Well, yeah

one question. I wasn't sure if there actually

was a Cyber jet of dirge and I don't think there

was I Think that might have been even a beast

wars 2 release. Oh Yeah, if that's what it was

yeah, it'd be sports too there was yeah, okay,

you're right Yeah, because I'm actually looking

at the the G2 page on transformer land right

now And no there was air raid Hooligan jet fire

skyjack space case and strafe But but no dirge

and no yeah, the dirge was a the beast wars 2

release in the in the cyber jet Which is cool,

I mean because I think I I knew I had one I just

couldn't where it came from I would say you have

everything, but that's incorrect. Proto Man has

everything. I think Proto Man comes pretty close.

He's got a lot of the... Well, I want to say

whereas I have a lot of the old stuff, like complete

series from 84, 85, 86, 87, I think he's got

a lot of the new stuff, especially some of the

really hard to find things out of Japan. Well,

he's got a lot of hard to find things out of

Japan, but he told me one night after a record,

we actually went on video on Skype and we were

showing each other... different stuff like, I

don't know, Mighty Mugs and whatever else, I

don't know. But he said to me that he has three

out of like six rooms in his house are filled

to the brim with Transformers. Yeah, my wife

wouldn't let me do that. Yeah, I know. Mine either.

So, yeah. Yeah, I get one room. Yes, I think

we're going to close this one out. Thank you
