Here we are with the classics seeker mold for the 7th time. Do I give a crap?

Outtakes! Most times we don’t have any, but occasionally there are technical difficulties or the show just runs too long so a portion gets cut.
This episode contains a segment cut from episode 101 and a segment cut from our Transformers 3 podcast: We Will Kill Them All.
First part you’ll hear Zac, Ernie, and aDam. The second part has the same crew with Zero added on.

The developers of Marathon, Myth, and Halo game series have turned 20!
Bungie Studios has had the bittersweet duty of handing over the Halo franchise officially this week to Microsoft’s internal Halo team, 343 Industries. Now is a great time to get acquainted with the team as they embark on their next big action game (which is still a total secret, but definitely coming to PS3 and XBox 360).
They’ve put together a 55 minute documentary on their history, worth a watch if you’re a fan of any of their games or you just want to see how a company can go from a few guys in an apartment to one of the biggest and most powerful in the industry.

Zac, aDam, and Ernie talk ponder the eternal question: What sorcery is this? Sorcery in this episode includes: Thundercats, Wonder Woman, 3DS, Red Faction, and of course Transformers.

Warning: This footage contains major spoilers for Captain America.
Joss Whedon’s big screen team up The Avengers rivals the sequel to The Dark Knight for geek buzz. And since The Dark Knight Rises has a teaser, it fits that we get one for The Avengers.

Fans who saw Captain America were treated to a preview of things to come, as is now Marvel tradition. However as this teaser build off the events of Thor and very greatly off the events of Captain America, I’m embedding the footage after the cut to avoid spoiling anyone. Click at your own risk. The clip actually contains more footage from Captain America than The Avengers which is why I’m being so extra careful.

I will note first that this is NOT the full teaser following Captain America, just a portion of it. So its a teaser for a teaser. That works. If you have any interest in seeing The Avengers, it would be worth it to see Captain America, as its probably the best Marvel Studios movie since the original Iron Man started this march toward the team up 3 years ago.

I think if you combined the number of all the podcasts we’ve done so far, we hit a hundred episodes with this one. So, we’re doing some creative renumbering and calling this the 100th episode of the Powetcast.

Zac is joined by Crazy, The Captain, and the ever present aDam for talk about beating kids at Pokemon, beating Nazis with a shield, beating ourselves over San Diego news, and finally giving Voldemort a great big hug.

Marvel Studios, without having an official presence at San Diego Comic Con, still managed to satisfy their base by releasing 7 character art posters and theater teaser poster for next year’s The Avengers.

The gallery included artwork showing Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury, Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, and Clark Gregg as Agent Caulson.

As you can see, these posters form a larger picture. I’ve ‘assembled’ the banners into a version larger than the one Marvel released. Click the banner here below to see the big version!

Crass humor is nothing new to the Live Action Transformers universe. So it is in this spirit that I present new images of the Target Exclusive deluxe Leadfoot action figure.

These three images were taken from an ebay auction, as the figure has not yet been released.

Leadfoot’s alternate mode is the #42 Target Racer from NASCAR, which like all vehicles features multiple sponsors. Leadfoot’s robot appearance features a prominent ‘belly’ making him the fattest Transformers character since Grand Convoy. It is fitting then that his rear panels have logos for Cottonelle (toilet paper) and Tums (antacid). He may fuel up on Energon, but I’ll be he also has a lot of gas.

This is funny because he is fat.
