Masterpiece Dinobot Pricing and Hasbro Paramount News

This is Optimus Prime, and you're listening to

All Things Transformers. Hello, and welcome to

All Things Transformers. I'm your host, Steven

C. Phillips. Steve Megatron Phillips. Yes, that's

how I use that moniker on this show. So anyways,

how have you guys been doing, and has anybody

checked out AllThingsTransformers .com, which

at the moment redirects to attf .alteredgeek

.com, since it's just a subsidiary of that title

name, and it's also on geekcastradio .com as

well. Yeah, I've been working on that site. I've

been working on fixing the... the podcast, so

they actually link to an actual file. Since the

original podcast that these went to used to be

on GeekCastRadio .com's backend and I re -imported

everything from an archive file that I could

find. I'm still missing somehow, for whatever

reason I deleted the RSS feeds because I used

to hand write them back in the day. I'm missing

episode 4 through 23's episode descriptions,

and I may have to do some creative searching

through archive .org to find it if it's there.

I have for the life of me been not able to find

it on any of my external drives, which sucks.

I did find the original handwritten one of episode

1 through 3, and then I've got everything 24,

and this is version 1 .0 of All Things Transformers.

I've got everything, episode 24 of that, on through

to current, imported, but I have yet to link

1 .0, 2 .0, and the TFD1 podcast on that site.

The Beast Unleashed, and Transformation Animation,

and version 3 .0 of all things Transformers,

all are functional. If you've noticed, I've also

got a Fandub section set up, which will start

off with the Transformers Headmaster series,

which I am the voice of Scourge in. You won't

escape alive! They are coming back. They're going

to finish Beast Wars Neo. They're going to go

through the rest of their catalog of shows that

they need to finish. It's nice to see them come

back. I know I mentioned it a little bit last

episode, but I'm glad that they're coming back.

I'm glad that... Because really the only thing

we've got going on right now is the Audio Nights

theater, which is awesome as well. I hope to

someday be among the cast. If they ever do Beast

Wars, I really hope that I'm among that cast.

Especially for Megatron. Yes! Megatron! Terrorize!

So yeah, I hope that they do Beast Wars and that

I can do that. Among other characters. So yeah,

there's there's that little bit of information

dropped I've also managed to get the Facebook

page redirected. So now that is Facebook .com

slash all things transformers v3 the same as

the Twitter at all things TF v3 and You've got

all things transformers. So Yeah, that's the

beginning of the new Predacon Empire as it were

So, expect more of the old content to start slowly

trickling in. I'm going to re -import some of

the Predacon Empire WordPress page into the site

and then I'm going to slowly start importing

the HTML stuff into WordPress posts as well to

kind of fill out the stuff with everything I

have and then if people like it, great. If not,

then I've just updated everything from 10 15

years ago's worth of content and That's that's

really the the key concern here is is updating

and then deleting the entire backlog of the old

crap and Giving you guys a lot of what I've had

my hands on for years Including I found along

my travels the old dark glass CGI comic That

I don't know if anybody remembers I'm gonna pull

this up so that I can kind of look at it again

It was the the genome studios dark glass CGI

comic which at the time like the graphics were

good, but it looks horrible It I have a tech

spec from it it looks like Jason Moser who called

himself Predacon legacy At the time he he designed

it in infinity and some illustration Bryce and

Photoshop and After Effects and among other things

so And then deus ex machina Dave Reynolds wrote

I think the The whole thing but yeah the the

dark glass comic from Genome Studios. I have

it in its entirety with its very wet CGI looking

designs to where the characters don't really

resemble their characters. I mean they look like

them, but they don't really look like them, unlike

the stuff that we had for the actual Darkglass

project. But it's actually kind of fun to see

their comic and what's going on in it. We took

the liberty of some of this story when we did

our Darkglass and mixed it with some of our own

writers from TFCOG. We also wrote some of it

with the actual Darkglass premise and some of

that storyline involved. I like to say that our

Darkglass, had it ever been made, would have

been the most complete justice to the Darkglass

episode and the connection between Beast Wars,

Transformers, and Beast Machines. That's really

all I can say on the matter, but it's interesting

to read this again. Like I said, I was going

through my my external drives trying to find

the old all things transformers RSS feeds and

I was digging through a lot of folders and I

found this and There's even a section with proto

form X that they they animated in there with

lieutenant server shark Being dangerously low

to stasis lock and in kind of showing the the

bit of Rampage eating some of the colony Omicron

people, and then you get more of the backstory

of Rampage, and then you get basically why Depth

Charge was hunting Protoform X. after this entire

scenario, before Protoformax was locked up and

put aboard the Maximal ship, the Axilon. So it's

kind of cool to go back and see this comic. If

anybody's interested in this, I'm going to put

this in this episode post on allthingstransformers

.com. Either that or I may just do a separate

post. Well, I'll probably put it in this episode

post, and then I'll do a separate post later

on, just kind of breaking down all of the different

dark glass materials and project information,

because I think this is kind of interesting to

dig through. And then getting into a little bit

of the Transformers news, Masterpiece Dinobot

MP41 Takara will probably be about... 28 ,000

yen, which is about 245 US dollars, which would

make it more expensive than Masterpiece 36 Megatron,

which is kind of sick. It's double of Optimus

Primal's cost. There's no other information on

it, though. It's going to be released July 2018.

And like I said, there's no new information.

on this transformer. It doesn't really say how

big it's going to be scale -wise with Primal

or any of the other transformers for that matter.

But it's definitely a new price range for these.

As much as I love the detail that went into this

and the engineering, I think that that's a bit

outrageous for the pricing, especially when Cheetor

is $75. Primal was 130, and for DinoBot to be

245 is just kind of ridiculous and sick. I love

the figure, I love the design, and I would love

nothing more than to have the entire Beast Wars

masterpiece collection as they come out, but

that's a bit outrageous. It just kind of makes

me sad of what's going to happen when Megatron

comes out, if this is any indication, because

he's going to be probably twice the size of Primal

because he kind of towers over him. I guess we'll

kind of see what happens there. And then Machinima,

in a couple of days, will have the Titans return

trailer dropping on Go90's app, and the series

will debut November 14th. Which funny enough,

I'm going to be flying down to Dallas, Texas

for a business meeting, which is going to be

kind of interesting. So I might have to check

this out that evening when I get back to my hotel

room. But yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing

the the trailer you get kind of a nice picture

of prime with a cracked windshield on them and

I'm definitely excited to see this Although I

would like to see some some Beast Wars stuff

Original content and I would love nothing more

than a voice Megatron, but It's neither here

nor there So yeah, and then Robots in Disguise,

the series finale aired in the UK the other day,

and I'm a little bit sad. I have yet to see it

of who shows up yet, but I don't know really

what they're gonna... do with that episode. I

really want to watch this before I comment on

it anymore, but I find it interesting that they're

doing this. They've got a nice little picture

of Bumblebee in the news article. Then we get

Hasbro with a new agreement with Paramount on

theatrical and television content. Some kind

of a new agreement between them regarding the

the content for both live action and animation.

Paramount has been a valuable partner of Hasbro's

for more than a decade, and we're looking forward

to taking our relationship to the next level,

said Bob Goldner, chairman and CEO of Hasbro.

Storytelling in its many forms is revolutionizing

our business and differentiating Hasbro in all

sectors where we operate. We look forward to

collaborating with the talented team at Paramount

to create powerful new stories for kids, fans,

families, and globally. It's kind of interesting

that they're gonna be doing more collaboration

with them as far as television because Hasbro

properties such as Transformers may fall under

Viacom, Paramount's parent company owned Nickelodeon

with the exception of TF Prime, Animated, and

Transformers RID. were placed under current network

control, but this agreement may give broadcasting

ownership of Transformer Cyberverse to Nickelodeon,

which, honestly, I'm kind of glad about because

I loved what Nickelodeon did with the latest

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle reboot. They own

the Ninja Turtles and they work with Paramount,

so I would actually much more... prefer this

situation here. But the agreement will also ensure

that Transformers Universe Bumblebee and the

Boulder Media produced and titled, Transformers

Animated Theatrical Feature Film, will be kept

on the hands of Paramount. So that's kind of

a nice thing going on, but they've got this distribution,

live action, and animated content under a five

year exclusive relationship, which means we're

going to get more Transformers that's collaborative

between the two entities. So, yeah, there's a

lot going on in Transformers right now, if you're

a Transformers fan, and that's just the tip of

the iceberg. I'm going to eventually probably

check out some of the IDW comics. I don't really

know where a good starting off point is. I know

TF2 and Mike's kind of mentioned a couple things.

I'm kind of interested in the Optimus Prime comics,

which, you know, we'll kind of see what goes

on there, but... Yeah, it's... Like I said, I'm

just really interested in finding out what's

going on. I am sad to say that in Robots in Disguise,

they hinted at Megatron several times and he

never showed up. So... Yeah, they they they have

Galvatronus, which is You know the high council

in season 3 Who freed steel jaws packed kill

the B team and freeing sound way from the shadow

zone to summon Megatron to lead our forces Which

kind of you know is funny that they didn't get

the memo of Megatron changing his heart in in

Transformers Prime when Unicron took him over

Again, I'm sad to see that Megatron didn't come

back. That would have been the tip of the iceberg.

If nothing else, if they'd brought him back as

an Autobot just to kick the crap out of the Decepticons,

I would have loved to see that in of itself.

But yeah, it's a bit disappointing. Anyways,

I'm going to call this episode good. I know that

it's really, really, really, really, really short,

but I don't see the need in dragging on an episode

on news topics and on certain discussion -based

points. What are some things that you guys want

to hear about in the next episode? I'm fishing

for ideas here. I plan on getting TFG1 Mic on

next week, possibly, depending on what's going

on. Like I said, I will be out of town, so there

may or may not be an episode next week. But I

think TFU and Mike might be getting close to

another Origins episode or a comic episode coming

up for the show, so kind of stay tuned. So until

next time, transform and transcend until all

are one.
