OK, yes, Fall Of Cybertron talk did finally happen in this episode. But thats only a fraction of our insulting, offensive, and divisive conversation! We’ll talk celebrity sex tapes, Chuck Norris and Hank Williams Jr talking trash, and pay tribute to Michael Clarke Duncan.

I didn’t cut out the strip club story this week.

Finally, there is a Marvel Universe MMO and we talked about that for like 5 minutes.

Today, we take a look at Transformers Prime Robots in Disguise Wheeljack from Wave 1 and his repaint Dead End from a later wave.

NOTE: The articulation in the joint below the shoulder and at the elbow are both hinge joints. I misspoke when I said they were swivel joints.

It was first revealed in the Transformers Collector Club Roundtable panel at Botcon 2012, that the Club would be putting together a Figure Subscription Service (FSS). Largely seen as a shot across the bow of MattyCollector.com, the subscription will feature six figures shipped out over the course of a year.

To order you can visit this link.

Here are some of the details:
You have to be a member to subscribe.
This is built to order. No limits on quantities. However much is ordered will be made.
The ordering period will end on September 10th at midnight.
You can pay in full ($282) or in three installments ($94) plus shipping and service fee.
Items will be shipped in random order. Everyone will receive the same figure each month.
If credit card or address changes, you change it on your club account only. Change will effect everything else.
Some extra figures may go up in the club store after shipment at a higher price point. Availability not guaranteed.

  

The figures included in the subscription are:
Transformers Animated Jackpot
Transformers Prime Slipstream
Transformers Generations Circuit
Transformers Generations G1 Breakdown
Transformers Generations RID Scourge
Transformers Beast Wars Neo Ultra Mammoth

We’ve listed the Top 5 Botcon Sets here at Powet, but Fun Publications does more than just Botcon. They also run the Official Transformers Collectors’ Club, and with that comes it’s own rich assortment of exclusive toys. With the impending commencement of the new Club Subscription Service, we thought we’d look back at the last few years of Transformers Club Exclusives.

Here are 5 of the best exclusives Fun Publications has released through the Transformers Club. This is sure to be a contentious list, so be sure to let me know what you think of it!

Wasn’t last week’s episode amazing?
Trick question, no episode last week. Aside from the fact that I was moving cross country (again) when the recording would’ve taken place, it gave us an extra week to let people download and discover that The Dark Knight Rises discussion.
On to this week’s show, I am joined by Adam and Cap for a new hour of talk including but not limited to Total Recall, Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD, Transformers Regeneration One, and Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. Finally we’ll talk about moving and valued possessions and what you keep or throw away as you pack up your life.

I was not adequately prepared for Transformers: The Ride. I expected to have fun, and to appreciate what I imagined as a fairly straightforward thrill ride with some Transformers window dressing. 

Boy, was I in for treat. 

Transformers is a fantastic ride. It’s the longest ride at Universal at a whopping four minutes, and it’s an incredible, exciting four minutes. Filled with impressive 3D effects, it really feels like you’re cruising through the Transformers universe. And if that was it, I would have been happy. Luckily, the ride experience is far more than just those four minutes. Here are the top 5 reasons (other than the ride itself) why Transformers: The Ride is amazing.
