Toaster Bot and Mighty Mugs Soundwave

Cliffjumper, commence countdown! Five, four,

three, two, one! Ha ha welcome to transformers

toy cast episode 22. I am TFD1 Mike and I'm joined

by Peek on court Michael. Hello. Hey, how's it

going? It's going first. I didn't think that

the Call recorder was actually gonna work to

hit the record button and then nothing happened

It's also so yay It actually hasn't been that

long since we recorded 21 has it? No, I don't

think so a couple of days or something. I don't

know Think we normally record things on like

a Friday and yeah normally Thursday well not

Thursday because those are my nights. I think

we did Wednesday Friday. I don't know something

like that. I don't know Let's see here Yeah,

I'm not liking any of the themes anymore and

just I may just go back to just having just the

regular TF themes and without anything in between

them because I completely, you know, at first

I thought your idea of putting the transition

in was going to be cool. I hated it. And you

didn't float it around for other people to listen

to to see what they thought? Well, episode 21

is out. I mean, it's in that episode. I haven't

heard that one yet. My iPhone decided to Conveniently

forget all of my applications and podcasts as

I remember used to either tweeting about that

or Facebooking about that. Yeah that that sucks

Yeah, so I finally got everything put back the

way I wanted it and then when I went to go play

the podcast I had no podcast because I had recinct

after I downloaded them all over again Yeah,

that sucked. Oh, that's that's really weird Ooh,

what is it? What's weird? Tell me. Well, tonight

I am, I mean, we're technically still in general

chat, and I haven't gotten to the review, but

I'm going to be talking about Mighty Mugs Soundwave

tonight. And you know how in the last review

I told you that the heads can move 360? Uh -huh.

I almost said 365 again. I can't believe you

didn't call me out on that last episode because

I kept saying it 365 instead of 360. I've got

his head like turned around to the back so his

face is facing his back but if you turn it to

the right it's almost like it's not jointed but

it's like there's a block there. At first I couldn't

do it and then of course I can now obviously

but I mean... Just just I'm always just let's

see what else is going on uh... we actually uh...

starting this episode we will have new artwork

i'm not going to be saying what that artwork

is i will tell you off the air you pretty much

already know but you don't know the whole compassing

of it uh... it's pretty much halloween -based

and it's probably going to be the main artwork

for toycast for a while because honestly i'm

as much as good artwork is steve does i'm really

not digging The original toy cast art that we

have so I think I'm going to have him change

it on the feed So it will be the official like

Art for the show so every time you download it'll

be it'll be the same I thought about doing different

art each episode because I mean once the once

the main artist set for the RSS feed I can I

can attach and I and Rewrite ID three tags for

any photo that I want for that individual episode

So, I don't know. I thought about it. I don't

know. I haven't really had a final decision on

it or not, but yeah, I don't know. Well, that's

interesting because before, not long ago, you

were telling me that, oh, I don't know how to

do that. And now you do know how to do that,

which is neat. You're learning things. What I

would say is find a... Graphic that you like

that you want to stick with for the cover, right?

And then you know every for each week. You can

cobble together You know some type of graphic

to go on the podcast itself with Whatever two

or three or four figures you review in it, right?

Well see you know my main thing is I like showing

stuff that is from Transformers is obviously

the stretchers toy cast and the whole point is

that we talk about toys on this show So that's

why the original Shattered glass the the figure

of shattered glass optimus prime with transformers

toycasts You know splashed on on top of it, and

I just don't like the way that the title looks

and yeah, I want to Want to get a more you know

clearer image I guess you could say because if

you look at the transformers toycast art as it

is now the lettering for toycast looks like I

feel like Gavin Drew with crayons on the wall.

I'm not saying that that's a bad thing, but it

just looks like so. I don't know, just the lettering.

I don't know, it just doesn't make me happy at

all. I don't know. I mean, I'm not saying anything

against Steve at all. He does great artwork.

I mean, we have 12 or 13 shows, and the artwork

that he does is awesome. I think when I had him

do the toy cast art, I was also having him do

a whole bunch of other stuff. This was before

TFZ1 ended. So I think he was getting a little

burnt out and said, oh, fuck it, I don't care.

That's the way it's going to be. Which is fine.

I mean, it's more than fine. I mean, it's hard.

Actually, I take care of a majority of the recording,

editing, everything for most of the shows outside

of all things Transformers and Headshot, honestly.

I mean, I do M -Wire. I do Tooncast. I do...

What's the other show? Shit. Oh, well, this show,

obviously. And I just run it all through iTunes.

It's so much easier. After I get the record files

and whatever audio I want to put in outside of

the themes, like say I want to put in, I don't

know, the battle scene between Optimus and Megatron

from TFTM. You know, as long as I have that audio

clip, I just play it through iTunes, record it

through Audacity, and that's that. And I and

you know the audacity recording is the actual

final final edit of it and Recording through

Pamela call recorder is a much much easier Than

having to record two different audacity tracks

and having to mesh them because that's something

I don't think I will ever learn how to do without

screwing it up a Piece of cake All right, maybe

I'll have you start editing from now on Actually,

I do want to bring something up to you. I wanted

to bring this up to you on air because Something

that Steve and I had talked about off -air morning

About the beast unleashed podcast We were discussing

on who we wanted to have on the entire show and

I had a thought that We could do Something very

very cool, and of course you joined TFG one in

episode 14 Steve joined in episode 10, so what

I was thinking was the I guess you could call

us the terrible trio can return to review the

entire Beast Wars Beastman podcast So did just

be the three of us throughout the entire show

If you want to that's more than fine. You don't

want to that's fine, too So yeah Haha, I'm gonna

leave you hanging on that one You know Steve

is very knowledgeable. I know he is and and His

deep knowledge of beast wars intimidates me Well,

I mean yeah, we need the comic relief basically

though You know, that would be very cool. We'll

have to talk about scheduling and such. Well,

I mean, you know, it would be the same as TFG

-1. Really, whatever. It probably would be a

Thursday or a Friday night. Actually, well, it

wouldn't be Thursday. It most likely would be

a Friday night. Most likely. I don't know what

his... I mean, yeah, we're going to have to talk

about scheduling, off -air, stuff like that.

But I believe, Steve and I, when we originally

set that up, it was to be a weekly. If it can't

be weekly, we can always do it bi -weekly, which

is more than fine. The only the only you holding

that show up is me actually having the Beast

Wars DVDs because I don't have those oh Yeah,

well, I mean you're a stickler for actually owning

and holding the yeah DVDs in hand so I Have no

such problems Yeah, you don't care about going

to YouTube or wherever to find illegal downloads

uh... well i don't know already i mean it's not

as if i needed to download them illegally but

i don't have a problem with uh... going back

and watching them on youtube it's a lot easier

than loading up the dvds well see for me you

know just pop a dvd in a computer and watch whatever

episodes that that we're gonna watch and and

and that's it you know when i make notes and

whatever as as i go along but uh... actually

it's really really funny because rhino still

owns the rights for uh... the stores dvds you

can actually go to rhino dot com and find them

pretty much msrp like fifty nine ninety nine

and whatnot they're not like on sale it's like

you're getting a deal but at least you outside

of cuz i've tried finding them for cheap on ebay

Because I will not buy DVDs on eBay. I will either

buy shrink wrap brand new DVDs on eBay or you

know slightly not really used used but like like

new type of deal But I've been trying to find

them on eBay for a decent price, and I just can't

I said okay well wait a minute I I had a promotional

thing from the beast machine set that I have

and says oh you can get these at Rhino rhino

.com was like oh cool so I went over there and

lo and behold they still have on sale so eventually

maybe with my November pay I can get maybe one

or two seasons or something I don't know my original

goal for that show is to start it before the

end of 2009 at this point I don't think that's

gonna happen unless the big fat guy in the red

suit brings them to me which I seriously doubt

So yeah One never knows yes one that one never

never knows Actually toy cast the format won't

be changing as far as how we do You know our

just our general discussion here, and then of

course we start talking about the toys But I've

been thinking you and I had did a little video

chat pre -show on Skype And I'm thinking about

doing pre -show stuff pre -show recordings beforehand

and Just including them in the episode as a bonus

before the actual show So basically you would

hear theme pre -show actual show and then theme

Maybe we'll see Okay, so what's been going on

with you? You had a story in the last episode

after we started stopped recording that you wanted

to tell everybody Something about Aidan trying

to get into your Your your micro genes. Oh Yeah,

I you know, I actually was gonna write up a blog

post about that and it's there's a draft of it

on my website right now and hadn't actually finished

it yet, but about a week ago, you know Aidan

decides that he wants to play with some of the

transformers in in my display shelves and You

know, I've got I've got a lot of shelves. It's

basically large oak shelves with plexiglass doors.

And so you can see through to the collection.

And it's got interior lights and such. It's neat.

It took a fairly long time to build it. But it's

about 12 feet wide by 6 feet tall by about 2

feet deep. And it holds the majority of my transformers.

And Aidan now is starting to point into, you

know, the G1 collection and say, I want that

one. I'm like, no, you can't. He likes construction

vehicles. And right now, he's nose level with

my MicroMasters display shelf. And he sees, and

I couldn't tell you the name, but there's a bulldozer.

in there that he wants to play with. It's an

orange bulldozer. Again, I don't know the MicroMasters

that well, so I couldn't tell you the name. I

own them all, but I don't know their individual

names. But he's like, I want that one. And it's

like, well, no, you can't have that one. And

he's throwing a fit because I'm not going to

open it. And I built these back in 2006. And

when I built them, I specifically wanted to put

locks on the doors. Because I knew, eventually,

Gavin wasn't even born yet. And Aidan was, I

think, either just born or very, very young.

Or maybe Chrissy was still pregnant. I forget

when we built these. You said you built them

in 06. How old is Aidan now? Three. Okay, so

that's three years ago. So it's at some point

either. She was still pregnant or he was just

born. Oh, yeah The basement was a big project

and she was pregnant for most of it I remember

because we were gonna paint it's like you can't

paint when you're pregnant paint fumes and yeah,

you know, she's a trooper she pulled through

But yeah So I knew that I wanted to put locks

on these doors, because I knew eventually we'd

need them. So I just recently had to start locking

the doors, which is a shame. Because I mean,

no, I don't want to reaching in and mangling

these MicroMasters. The shelf directly below

the MicroMasters has Fort Max, Tripticon, Metroplex.

The bigger ones. Yeah, the bigger items in my

collection are in the shelf directly below it

So so yeah, I could definitely see him after

ransacking my micro machine or micro masters

then going in and dragging for max out He's about

the same size Still you get the idea. Yeah. Oh,

yeah Yeah Yeah, I've actually been thinking now

that I because now that I have the mighty mug

stuff I baked cuz I If I can if I'm able to save

boxes I will like like with these I mean these

are these are like high -end quality boxes. They're

not like You know in store shelving on peg. Yeah,

not like It's not a card. They were made to be

displayed in the box. Well yeah, I mean obviously,

but obviously I want them out of the box, but

I mean, I still kept the actual box itself. I

didn't keep the actual interior, you know, the

plastic that held them in, but I like having

the boxes. And now that I have them, I actually

have all four of them, because I have, as I said

before, I have all four of the wave ones. I have...

Have my botcon 08 bucks on my on the top of my

shelf in my in my second bedroom So I put these

I kind of like felt with my finger how wide the

botcon box was and how wide these things are

and I put Two and then two on top of the first

two so It looks like my TF collection is like

almost going all the way up to the ceiling with

boxes Even though it's only six boxes it well

yeah for four for the Mighty Mugs well five and

one for the BotCon But just my my top shelf of

the shelf that my my uncle Patrick built for

my mom way back When I mean this thing is like

a family heirloom now it's like real dark cherry

wood oak or or something i i i don't know it's

it's something i don't know uh... but he like

built this from scratch it's just been this thing

where it's you know we have to have it wherever

we go because it's basically as i become family

heirloom well that whole top shelf of that is

nothing but my transformer stuff my animated

stuff my shattered glass stuff uh... my g one

prime astro train my nemesis prime Galvatron

universe cyclonus, you know stuff like that,

but I'm running on a shelf space so I say I was

thinking about getting floating ships and Just

because I mean those are fairly easy to install

as far as you know they won't leave marks in

the wall unless you install them wrong and You

know that that would be a good way for me to

Get them actually off that shelf and use that

for something else What the hell is that I heard

something. Am I boring you? No, no. What the

hell? What the hell was that? It was one of those

annoying pop -up ads. Oh, gee. Get off the internet.

I'm on Skype. How can I not be on the internet?

Oh, well, I meant get off the internet browser.

I hate those damn things. Lord yeah It's not

it's not something that I can actually I mean

unless I can go to Lowe's and find them for fairly

cheap I'll do it. Probably I'd like to get it

done by my birthday, which of course isn't until

February hint hint Megatron owners Don't oh Jesus

me, you know, I want that figure fuck if I could

drive I'd come to your house right now and steal

it He's somewhere on the internet, I'm sure you

can find one. No, no, no, no, no. But yeah, I

want a nice place for my collection, like everybody

does. And I mean, for now, it's OK. And obviously,

I also want to display the framed, I guess, they're

not really actual animation cells, but the cells

that came with the G1 DVDs. I framed those and

I want to. That was on a shelf because the frames

that they're in they're not really Turn out really

on the wall quality. You really can't hang them

on the wall and they stay there unfortunately

so All right. Well, I think I've talked enough

what other preach or not not pre show what other

general chat Would you like to bring up? I wasn't

sure if I was going to mention it today, but

I guess I will. I actually went on a toy run

today for the first time in a while. And I got

a bunch of stuff. I picked up the Red Power Glide.

He's a Walmart exclusive. And when the Universe

Power Glide came out, I was kind of bummed because

he was in gray. And the Japanese version came

out in red. And I'm like, man, I want a Japanese

version. You know, I quit spending money on Japanese

imports a while ago because I just assumed that

they're going to come out in America eventually

in some way, shape, or form. And here we go.

We get a red power glide. So I was really happy

to see that. The downside is now I've got a whole

bunch of repaints of these. And I picked up some

movie toys. Swerve, just because I've got every

other incarnation of Swerve. RC, because I eventually

want to combine the three robot sisters. I picked

up the ice cream truck, because it's an ice cream

truck. Yeah, exactly. I got Walmart exclusive

Fear Swoop. It was a repaint of the movie line

Jet in hooligan colors. G2 hooligan colors, which

is like a tiger stripe pattern in orange and

black which I mean, how bad is that rock? That's

really cool. That's kind of a cool thing. I grabbed

deluxe thrust because hey, he's thrust Gears

cuz hey, he's gears and ravage cuz you know,

he's ravage. Yeah And then and the all of the

new Scout series so dune runner reverb night

beat there's a repaints and Oh, ejector. Yes,

and that's what you'll be talking about today

is the toaster bots. That's right. I want to

talk about toaster bot tonight So start talking

because you're up first. Oh, okay So so yeah,

so in my in my hall tonight I picked up toaster

bot and you know, he's a toaster bot. There's

a toaster you don't get too many toasters in

the In fact, I was kind of surprised that he

wasn't released in something like the Real Gear

line or something along those lines, because

he's more of a household item than a vehicle

or anything else like that. But I don't know.

After looking at the package, I was a little

disappointed with his paint job, because it looks

like he's definitely missing some paint apps.

Of course, the back of the package is the Hasbro

Photoshopped version, but it still leaves a little

bit to be desired here. Back of the package says,

born mindless and driven by the heat, pulsing

in his tiny body. Thank you, Michael Bay, for

these sexual references. Ejector knows nothing

but how to burn. Even when he was a simple toaster,

burning things was what he did best. Now that

he's got a simple mind of his own, and flamethrowers

to go with it, he lives to torch everything around

him. So this guy came to be in the kitchen scene

where the Allspark shard brought all the kitchen

appliances to life in the Witwicky home. So kind

of cool that they made a figure of him. Necessary?

Probably not. He's just a scout, you know, in

the grand scheme of things. Why not spend a little

bit of plastic on him? A scout who has no feet.

Well, see, that's the screwy thing. He's got

little nubby feet. They don't really count as

feet. In order to make him stand, because you

can't stretch his legs out straight up and down,

expect him to stand on his little nubs, but his

calves are like big triangles. And you literally

have to... Kind of invert his feet almost like

a like a chicken walk and you know skywarp walk

Starscream walk and skywarp technically the repeat

So that he can he can stand on his calves the

bags the back of the back of his legs Mm -hmm

lower portions of his legs, so it's kind of weird

You know Again, he's not going to stand up on

his own on his own little stubby feet. But you

can get him to do a weird stand by propping him

up on the back of his legs. He's a neat little

guy. His whole chest is mostly head. He's got

gnarly teeth. He doesn't have much in the way

of paint apps, except for a few little red bits

that are supposed to be the heating elements

from inside the toaster. Right, right. He's got

four arms kind of you know redundant and or unnecessary

and And he's got a little tail that's supposed

to be the plug It turns into the boy. It's actually

the plug Michael Bay with jokes What again Michael

Bay with the jokes with the tail? Yeah Okay,

I don't know I thought it was weird. It's a European

style tail So somewhere in the wiki household

is a you know Americans a European outlet converter

Those things don't come cheap. I don't think

they would either Yeah, his transformation is

kind of simple not for you it wasn't well, you

know No, I know I completely I mean hell look

at wait The way I first get my first blurs, I

mean I'm not complaining, I'm just saying, it

was funny as hell when you were trying to transform

him. You broke the arms off. It's like, how's

he supposed to go, oh, like the, oh, there went

his arm. Ah crap, alright, well, maybe he's supposed

to, nope, there goes his other arm, never mind.

That's not right either. Yes, and only real men

don't look at the instructions. That's right,

real men do not look at the instructions. the

the the the the we have the uh... the video cameras

going earlier and i'll show you how to do it

yeah you know that was just uh... yeah that's

where the whole pre -show notion has come from

folks we started doing a a skype video call earlier

and um... yeah we need to start i need to start

recording that for posterity for for pre -show

audio well you know it's You know, you kind of

get free license to say whatever you want when

you're not being recorded because you're not

too worried about somebody hearing you say it.

Well, I mean, you know, I mean, what haven't

we said on any of our shows that we've done?

So I mean, I mean, you know, you know, I think

my favorite was during the. the rebirth episode

of TFG -1 where I likened the nebulons to al

-Qaeda. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, I thought

that was funny. All right, so here I got him

in toaster mode. And he's a toaster. He's a toaster

that fits in the palm of your hand, which doesn't

make him much of a toaster. But on the front

here, he's kind of silver, like a silver toaster.

He's kind of retro in a way, but not really.

He's got the toast holes kind of molded in the

top. They're not really holes. But the front

is kind of curved, and it's nice. It looks almost

like a little eyeball on one side, but it's like

an on -off switch painted red. But there's no

on -off switch on the other side, so he's kind

of asymmetrical in that way. And the plug. They

spent a lot of time, you know, molding the front

of this toaster, but there's no back of the toaster.

It's just wide open. I can see his kidneys. Yeah,

but you know, what are you gonna do? It's a toaster.

He makes toast. Or if you believe his text back,

his bio, he burns toast. Yeah, exactly. I like

nothing more than to burn your toast. You suck,

and I hate you, and I want to burn your frickin'

toast. You know, the only thing that I can think

of when you said about the... I thought of an

Eminem's reference. He burns in your hand, not

in your mouth. Not in your hand. This is gonna

let you amuse yourself for a while. I was trying

damn it I can't always hit gems like I hit and

I believe it was TFG one episode 19 when I said

more than meets the pie so you know Will you

have to go back and listen the episode then well,

what do you mean? Oh, man? It was a short episode.

I think so you don't worry about movies there

we go see now i've got ejector toaster boy got

toster boy back in his uh... in his robot mode

here and you know he's got kind of a new little

robot he kind of looks like a little demon he's

got a little demon face uh... you know i'm kind

of glad that they didn't go all out and try to

make a bunch of these little kitchen kitchen

bots because Let's be honest couple of more really

offensive. It was like a blender with a giant

cock cannon But yeah, I can't So the fact that

they came out with this guy who's just gonna

remind us of the cock cannon Or the, what do

they call the other one? It was a Dyson vacuum

cleaner. Oh god, I don't know. No, no, it was

a Dyson vacuum cleaner. And I can't imagine how

much money they paid Dyson for the rights to

use that. But it turned into a robot, too. And

there was a bunch of other ones. I think I saw

pictures of, it was prototype pictures. I don't

remember it from the movie exactly, but it was

the garbage disposal unit. crawled out of the,

like it crawled out of the sink and it was literally

just knives, the whole thing was knives. I could

see them releasing that, it's like, Johnny Knives!

Johnny Knives is alive! You catch that? You like

that? No, but I mean it's like gonna be remaking

that unfortunately dumb bastards can't leave

80s movies alone, but anyway That's right they

are Ellie she's not gonna come back. I think

she's too old Hell last time I saw Molly Ringwald

was in not another teen movie is the airline

agent at the end But anyway to digress do you

have any final thoughts on toaster bot? He's

growing on me. At first I was like, ah, what

the hell. He's a little toaster. But now, I mean,

yeah, like I said, he's growing on me. I dig

him. What I'd like to see is someone try to repaint

him in something a little more toasterish. Because

he's not really shiny. I'm sure there should

be a lot more red. elements on them to kind of

show the insides. And I'm just not seeing that.

So I'm not sure. There's any number of people

that I follow on Twitter that do custom repaints

of transformer figures. It would be cool to see

one of them pick that up. I was going to say,

or if Malunas wants a new project, he can do

a vector for you. Oh, no, no. Actually, I'm actually

looking at Flickr now. There's a guy that goes

by the handle of Frenzy Rumble on Flickr. And

he does some really, really nice repaints. And

he'll take, you know, he did Skids and Mudflap

from the movie line. By the time he was done

with them, I couldn't tell them from the promotional

stills. I literally thought that it was a picture

of the CGI version. And it wasn't. It was just

a regular off -the -shelf toy that he had repainted.

And it was amazing. Just really cool stuff. And

he does commissions. He's done a lot of really

neat things. And looking right now, he's got

Hearts of Steel Optimus Prime, which only appeared

in the comic book. I forget which comic book,

but it was the Hearts of Steel comic book by

IDW. But it was like a what if, where what if

the Autobots had appeared in steampunk times.

And Optimus Prime is literally a very old locomotive.

It's cool. It's really neat. Someone did a custom

of it. And they put the custom up for sale. And

it looks like he got a hold of one of them and

repainted it. And it looks really, really cool.

So anyway, yeah. Oh, he did a black one, too.

Very neat. So anyway, yeah, really talented guy.

Does some really cool things. Oh, wow. Yeah.

Yeah, anyway. So yeah, it would be cool to see

him take one of these. Maybe he's done it already.

I haven't checked him Flickr in a while. But

it would be very cool. I'll take a look for it

and if I see it I'll post it to the forums You

have anything else to say about toaster bot before

we move on? Nah, I think toaster bots been played

out. All right, we'll be right back This part

has been edited. Ha ha ha. You'll never know

what was actually here We are back and it is

time for my pick this week or well not this week

this this episode I'm gonna be talking about

Transformers universe mighty mugs sound wave

Last time I talked about bumblebee who is actually

I've watched several YouTube videos But the mighty

mugs and I just watched a won't want on sound

wave Trying to think who it was by I believe

it was by rimfire and He said that you know,

he likes all of the mighty mugs in wave one except

for bumblebee. So at least other person that

agrees with me, but that leaves the worst out

of the way of one line. Again, I can't say enough

about these boxes. These boxes are made to look

very commemorative and pretty much a collector's

item. They almost give a 3D look for the character

on each side of the box, so you actually have

to show the box at an angle to see the the the

full image of the of the robot so you know that's

the box and has really nice uh... trans well

it's translucent but the plastic it's not a it's

not a it's not plastic like the g one plastic

is it's much it's much thicker on the boxes so

sound waves uh... yeah uh... i actually did a

youtube video about him, not really reviewing

him but you know just like hey this is uh no

because I said when I was doing you know when

I first started YouTube I am not on YouTube to

do toy reviews there are so many other great

people that do toy reviews I'm not out there

to do that but you know I noticed something about

Soundwave that kind of freaked me out at first

you know how a majority of all transformers have

screws in the back of their heads Well, yeah,

they do don't think majority of them Yeah, of

course. Okay. Well, all right. This will make

sure I'm right and saying that well, he has the

Mighty mug on the back of his head. It's not

a real screw It's just like an image of a Phillips

screwdriver and at first when I first looked

at it I thought it was like an X marks marks

the spot like somebody's gonna assassinate sound

wave at least you wonder what would happen if

you unscrew the back of his head yeah that's

true too his brains would fall right out he actually

like like last last episode when i was doing

uh... mess around with bumblebee as well soundwave

actually looks cool when his head is turned to

the side bumblebee does not at all and he does

the only there's only two complaints I have about

him on his tape deck he has the purple decepticon

logo which I like but it's excuse me it's black

on the corners and like gray in the middle of

the deck so that just I don't know it just doesn't

seem right to me it should either be all gray

or all black I think I don't know whatever and

then he has the but You're very particular about

your Decepticon logos. Oh No, no, I'm not having

I have no complaint about the logo. It's just

a color on the tape deck It's two different colors.

It's black and silver No, not no the logo is

fun the Decepticon logo is purple and it's fine.

It's the way it's supposed to be Right color

of the like if you took g1 sound wave out of

your thing He has whatever color his his tape

deck is it's one color on the actual image of

the deck itself Not not the outer frame, but

just the tape deck itself. It's one color this

it's black on the left Gray in the middle and

black right. I just I don't like that Of course

it shows all his little buttons and everything

else below the tape deck it actually right above

his Right above where his head is almost where

his neck should be is is the eject button On

the back as I said is a screw in his head I see

it now. I'm actually I wasn't looking at a picture

of it now or before but I am now Okay, and then

of course on the back. He has his little battery

compartment type deal I actually like the colors

on this guy. They're really cool. It's a combination

of the dark blue that he is, and I think it's

black. Part of it is, yeah. It's like grayish

black on the legs and on the sides of his arms

and stuff. He does come with his G1 gun, which

is very, very cool. Looking at the gun really

quick here, it's very... very reminiscent of

G1. It even is so reminiscent it actually has

the button on it that you can shoot out the silver

things, the silver missile things. So it's drawn

in on there and it looks really really cool.

The only problem with the rest of the Mighty

Mugs like Soundwave, Megatron, and Optimus is

that you have to put their guns in sideways into

their hands. They don't actually fit uh... like

if you want to hold it if you was on down by

his side and you were holding his gun like that

to like the standing over something in you know

i'm gonna shoot you in the head or or you know

something like that we're going to be cool money

-money -money -money -money -money -money -money

-money -money -money -money -money -money -money

-money -money -money -money -money -money -money

-money -money -money -money -money -money -money

-money -money -money -money -money -money -money

-money -money -money -money -money -money -money

-money -money -money -money -money -money -money

-money -money -money -money -money -money -money

the gun straight ahead in his hand so you have

to angle it for it to to be the way yeah so it's

almost like he's looking to the left and he's

like i'm going to shoot you now i don't know

i don't know what the hell i'm saying i'm like

right away folks i'm like why i'm gonna need

to see video of that just to see what you mean

as far as it's like you try it He holds his gun

forward and smacks himself in the head with the

butt of the gun. I'm not really sure what you

mean. All right, hold on. Let's see here. Cord.

Well, no, I'm not saying do it now. I'm just

saying. I'm just taking a picture with my camera

phone. To accompany the podcast, we should have

some video. That's a bad flash no no no no video

that you don't necessarily have to take right

now. Oh, yeah, I know but this is fun, so anyway

That's funny That's so funny, oh wow Oh crap

I can't oh shit this is not gonna work I'll show

you on video after we're done with this episode.

It's it'll be much easier that way Overall, I

really enjoy this. He's a really super You know,

they really picked when they when they you know,

obviously it's the mighty mugs thing But they

I don't know if it's Hasbro people that pick

these or whatever for for for the for the ones

that they released uh... but they pick some really

cool characters to uh... to do uh... conditions

oh yeah the only other problem with them is if

you turn his head three sixty uh... if you turn

it to the right uh... when the back of his head

is at the front of his body for some reason online

it's like it well if you can hear that but uh...

i don't know if you can hear it or not That's

the sound of it breaking, is what it is. No.

Actually, it's funny. When I first got these

and I took him out of his little box and enclosure

there, his head was so tight on, and then I held

it in my arm, in my right arm, and I took my

left hand on his head, and I like... turned it

like you would turn a screw or, you know, a piece

of cable, you know, a coaxial cable or something,

and it amazingly went like super fast and just

went, shooom! At first I thought it was going

to come all the way off, but it didn't, so thank

God for that. So yeah, Mighty Mugs Soundwave.

He's really, really cool. Again, as I said with

the Bumblebee review of the Mighty Mugs, you're

probably going to find these off you but you're

probably not what do you laugh at you want to

get it uh... but that was first about sport uh...

no won't good lord people he's playing with the

court always uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh...

uh... uh... uh... oh crap oh boy so anyway again

as I said with the bumblebee review you're pretty

much gonna have to find the wave one and wave

two Mighty Mugs on eBay or something you may

be able to find them on Amazon I don't know I

doubt Hasbro toy shop actually has the Optimus

Prime one but if you want to find them fairly

easily and fairly cheap, I would go to eBay.

So that's pretty much all I have, yeah. so for

forty minutes for toaster button ten minutes

for my mug sound wave what the hell so it's well

no it wasn't really for you it was more like

it was more like twenty minutes of of uh... general

and then twenty minutes of toaster is the last

clip of the left part of the episode like thirty

thirty forty some minutes so i think we're going

to bring this one to a close before either one

of us say something we're going to regret i already

did that Uh, yeah, which one? The, uh, the cock

cannon? Oh, cock cannon, oh no! I was talking

about the horrible MF bomb that I dropped there.

That was completely out of line with me, and

I feel really bad about it now, in retrospect.

I'mma burn your toast! I'mma burn it! I will...

I don't know how long that is, because we actually

have something from, um... I will I will let

you listen to I'll send you the file afterwards.
