Supernatural! Supernatural! Supernatural Hello

and welcome to episode 49 .5 of Toycast sponsored

by Big Bad Toy Store where you can save from

20 to 90 % on over 1 ,000 items. I am your host

DFG1Mike and joining me is Steve Megatron. Hello.

Hello. How are you sir? Doing well. Yay, and

people may be asking why are they doing a 0 .5

episode? Well because wanted to give everybody

one more chance to Enter the contest give you

more details on that as well as inform you that

episode 50 Will not be recorded until after the

contest deadline, which is March 29th 2010 most

likely this First the end of the first week or

the beginning of the second week of April So

yeah What's going on with you Steve trying to

regain my uh health uh as far as it's been lately

and uh try and watch some of my uh batman dvds

which i got in monday yay oh man we just finished

recording beast unleashed episode six and Thank

God it was much lighter than it was. It was almost

like Rodimus came in and opened the matrix on

us and kicked our ass because, wow, it was so

much lighter humor than it was in episode five

of that show. Oh boy, we dodged a huge bullet.

Thank God Michael Wilson did not make any references

to the fucking Rocky Horror Picture Show. Yeah,

he missed that, but he got narwhals in there.

No, he didn't. Don't think you did I'll have

to go back and if I go back and I listen to that

again before as I'm putting it together I will

cut that out So again one of the reasons why

we're doing a 49 .5 before episode 50 is to give

you guys yet another update on the contest The

episode 50 contest basically what it is is general

techno our other co -host who is not here this

evening is going to be giving away a Recon Ravage.

For most of you who know, Recon Ravage is a mail

-away figure from Hasbro US, but up in Canada

they released it as a Toys R Us exclusive, so

he had bought an extra one and said, hey, for

episode 50, why don't I give this one away? To

enter the contest it's very simple. There's no

trivia question There's no nothing really hard

to do all you have to do is call us and leave

us a voicemail or if you want to send an mp3

to our email address the email address to send

that to is tfg1podcast at gmail .com The voicemail

number is 502 -526 -5821 I would say the messages

need to be less than five minutes I didn't really

put a time limit on it, but You know all you

gotta do is you can either say hey, I really

enjoy toy cast or if you want to do your own

toy review you can review anything whether it's

a Transformers toy or another toy line toy So

Steve is going to be giving us an update on his

Joker customization. Take it away Megatron Hello.

Yes, I am currently creating my Batman Beyond

return to the Joker Joker Yes, future Joker.

I'm using a Nightwing body from the new Adventures

of Batman. And basically I popped the head from

Nightwing and I took a Secret Society Joker from

the Justice League, popped the head off that,

put that head on the Nightwing body. and have

sanded down the hair to the point where it's

smooth like on Batman Beyond. And then pretty

much all I'm waiting for now is to go out and

buy the paint so I can do the paint apps to it.

It's hopefully going to be done soon. I do have

pictures up on Twitter and Facebook at this point

in time, but I'll probably have a full review

of it. Get cast radio when I get done on under

toy cast. Mm -hmm But yeah, it's so far. It's

looking pretty cool. I do want to try and make

a gun Like what he used to kill a bomb bomb But

for now, I'm just going to settle on Getting

the face and head to look right the body I still

have yet to paint that dark purple and add the

accent for the the lighting Yeah. It's funny

you mentioned when he killed Bonk. I'm often

fond of putting in audio of whatever toy I can

find. Like say we talk about a certain toy or

whatever. I'm often fond of going back and finding

audio from that character or that scene or whatever

it is. So I may actually go back on my Batman

Beyond Return of the Joker DVD and grab that

little clip there where he kills Bonk. Oh, yeah,

that's right dead. Oh No, I don't even own the

on the the cut version Yeah, you know the only

real subtle do I mean that there are more differences

in in the Between those two versions of the DVD

but the only real difference for me is in the

cut version instead of Joker mini Joker Tim Drake

Joker, whatever the hell you want to call him

Little J or whatever the hell it is and no, we're

not talking about Joker's little J Yeah, it's

The only difference between the two is in the

cut version The Joker slips on some water and

electrocutes himself Whereas in the uncut version

he gets his leg caught in a well, that's what

I'm saying He gets himself caught on something,

slips in a pool of water, and pulls the electro

-switcher thing -a -whatever. Whereas the cut

version, Tim shoots him. Yeah. I like the one

where you get shot better, even though it's more

definitive. I'm sorry, but an electrical scene?

The Joker could probably get out of that. Being

shot in the chest? Not so much. He's like that's

not funny. That's not funny at all. Oh Boy, um,

so yeah, there's that are you having else to

say about your Joker customization? Not much

yet. I'm I'm hoping to get the paint so I can

get the face done up like the Movie because I

actually got the wrong Joker base model Well

the paint app anyway, yeah, if I got the correct

one, I wouldn't have to do as much paint work.

I could have just I could have actually taken

a black marker and mark it in his scalp right

I didn't so now I have to paint the whole face

It'll give you something to do in your spare

time yeah Yeah Yeah Continuing with my robot

heroes talk I've been doing this I think since

episode 45 I had said that I was going to talk

about all the robot heroes that I have between

episodes 45 and episode 50 And this time around

I'm going to be talking about the two back of

silver bolt and Megatron for the Beast Wars robot

heroes series I Hate silver bolt as a robot hero

this design is fugly as all hell. His head is

somewhat cartoon accurate. I know General Tecna

will probably call in or email me or tell me

something on Twitter what these actual leaf -looking

swords are supposed to be a reference to, but

no. This is the worst repaint of Silverbolt I

have ever seen. He has a gold leaf on his crotch

which kind of looks like a scorpion his wings

and Tail on his back are colored gold and blue

ish Just no this this thing sucks Yeah, no, there's

only one silverbolt repaint that I actually want

is of the beast machines figure It's the Japanese

repaint where he's more purple than pink But

yeah, no this one sucks It's just one of those

things where I just I don't like him and I think

the only reason why even and it's funny that

the way he comes it's actually packaged as Uh,

Transformers, Robot Heroes, Beast Wars series,

Silverbolt, and Megatron. So in the packaging,

Silverbolt is on the left and Megatron is on

the right. Uh, he's packaged with his head turned

sideways. Silverbolt is. Which is kinda weird

to me, but yeah, no. Silverbolt just, no. Silverbolt's

gonna go on probably in the back annals of my

shelf and never surface ever again. He probably

won't even see the light of day. No, probably

not. On a more lighter note, we have Beast Wars

Robot Heroes Transmetal Megatron. The only Megatron,

as far as I know, of course, I'm sure you or

Monzo or somebody at the TFWiki can correct me,

this is the only Megatron I've ever seen with

the Golden Disk, as far as a toy. Very, very

cool. I don't like the way that they painted

his arms, legs... and feet because they're all

gold. His toes are actually blue which make no

sense considering the Transmetal Megatron was

all purple. Or a more shinier, shinier purple

than the original Megatron. And I actually prefer

the Transmetal to, or not Transmetal to, but

the Transmetal Tyranno Megatron to the original

Beast Wars Megatron because it's more, like I

said, it's more of a shiny purple than it is

the... the drab color of the original. The only

purple that's on this entire figure is the face

with the red eyes. The rest of him is like black

and brown and red. I think he does have some...

I think his teeth are purple now that I'm looking

at it, which is kind of weird. They did actually

design in his transmetal jets his fan things

that are on his back, which are kind of cool.

Surprisingly, these are the only two Beast Wars

figures that I have for the robot heroes that

have the Predacon symbol somewhere other than

on their ass. Megatron's is on his knee and Silverbolt's

is on his knee. So overall, Megatron rules. Silverbolt

sucks. And that's pretty much it. This is gonna

be like, damn it, Megatron, stop drinking the

energon and stand up fucking correctly, you moron.

Yes, what a drunk Beast Wars Megatron sound like

I have no idea. Oh Boy you so miss that subtle

cue you're supposed to go into it Yeah, I don't

have the energy for tonight So anyway, again,
