Episode Description
This week: The crew dives into toys, tangents, and Transformers news. We have Walmart's new reset, the awesome new Wild King figure, “Dramatic Capture” set, and the much-anticipated Missing Link Ultra Magnus. All that and more on Radio Free Cybertron 950!
News
Activate Your Alt Mode: Alt mode type winner is Sea. Voting underway through August 28th to choose from Speedboat, Submarine, Creature, or Hoverboat. As of writing the show notes, Creature has a commanding lead at 60%, with Submarine following next at 33%. Hovercraft and Speedboat bring up a distant rear at 4% and 3% respectively.
No Pulsecon this year, and possibly no 1027 according to a report out of Fan Expo
Post services in Japan and multiple other countries suspend most package acceptance for mail to the US
Finally a new large Wild King toy: WKEX-01 World Dragnus
Dramatic Capture Decepticons Part 2: Skywarp and The Insecticons
Missing Link Ultra Magnus, to the surprise of no one
EHobby finally does an acrylic standee worth buying. Dammit.
Photos of 40th Anniversary Selection Lio Convoy which evidently finally did get released
In hand images of Target AOTP 4 pack
And that brings us to the wide spectrum of licensed goods:
Transformers-branded fruit pouches and chocolate cereal at Dollar Tree
Fairy Tail Parfume to offer several “Transformers-inspired” fragrances. Yes, really. Licensed Transformers perfumes. In Japan at least.
