Welcome to Transmissions Alt Mode,
the podcast that has built-in plot armor.
I'm your host, Charles, aka Big C,
and I'm joined by the
excellent transmissions team, Jeremy,
aka Yakko.
Hey, how's it going?
And Scott, the illustrious Dr. Pants.
Does the plot armor apply to
(00:54):
all of us or just the main hosts?
I need to know for, you know,
insurance purposes.
Let's talk Transformers.
All right.
As always,
we start the show by thanking

(01:36):
And Dr. Pants has promised
more episodes in twenty
twenty five in the summer.
So.
That's what people voted for, right?
More Big Bots episodes?
Is that on the ballot for I
wish that's what they voted for.
That would be one thing to
unite everybody.
(01:59):
To light this darkest hour.
Yeah.
Something like that.
All right.
Of course,
we also have our Transformers
Live Play RPG podcast, Empire of Rust.
And that is going is has our
(02:19):
bonus uncut version of
episode one thirty two.
It's twenty thousand leagues
under the track.
So the bonus version came out this week,
so that's available for Donatrons.
Everyone,
all our Donatrons have access to
that early bonus uncut version.
Then the regular version of
episode one thirty two is
(02:40):
coming out this Monday,
March thirty first,
and that will be at
transmissions podcast dot com slash rust.
So everyone will get a
chance to listen to the final version.
We've still got copies of
our Transformers number one
from Skybound with our
cover art by EJ Su.
So you can pick that up at our website,
(03:02):
transmissionspodcast.com slash comic.
And then, of course,
we've got our ToyHax promo code.
That code is PLAYBACK and
you'll get off all your
purchases at toyhax.com.
That promo code is only good
till the end of March.
So you've only got a couple
more days to use it before
the code switches over and
(03:22):
we'll announce the April
code in the next episode of
Transmissions.
So stay tuned for that next week.
Lastly,
we've got just a announcement from
one of our Donatrons,
who is also a comic artist, Nathan Webb.
And they have a fan comic
called Britformers that's
(03:43):
been going on for several years now.
And issue four is being kickstarted.
So you can check out their
Kickstarter page.
We'll have a link to it in the show notes.
And if you want to pick up a
copy of the Britformers issue,
you can get issue four.
You can also get digital
copies of issues one
through three if you missed those.
So you can pick that up at
that by packing that Kickstarter.
(04:05):
And they've already passed a
bunch of their stretch goals, you know,
just to get the comic
printed and distributed out.
So take a look at that and enjoy.
All right, let's get into the show.
We're gonna start off with
some comics news.
(04:32):
All right, in comics news,
We've got another
announcement from Skybound.
So, you know,
they've done a lot of
printings of their Energon
Universe issues,
Transformers number one and
Void Rivals number one.
Now we've got something
completely different, a new pre-print.
with audio effects.
(04:53):
So there's gonna be a sound
chip included in these new
versions of Transformers
number one and Void Rivals number one,
and they will make the
transforming sound when you
open the issue.
So there will be three variants of these.
The first two are for
Transformers number one,
you've got an Optimus Prime
Autobot variant and a
Starscream Decepticon
variant for Transformers number one.
(05:14):
Then you've got a Jetfire
Autobot variant for Void
Rivals number one.
So all three of these will
have different sound chips
with different transforming
sounds in them.
So, you know,
these are coming fall of this year.
So I guess like September,
twenty twenty five.
(05:34):
So if I think they will
probably be up for a
preorder soon or you can
ask for them at your local comic shop.
This is getting to be ridiculous.
Well, it's way, way past ridiculous.
I comment on,
I think it was Ben Yee posted
on Facebook and I was like,
surely now Transformers
(05:55):
number one has had more reprints,
like reprinted editions
than Action Comics number one.
I was going to say,
has there ever been an
issue number one reprinted
this much in such a short amount of time?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I will say I did ask my
local comic shop when I
(06:15):
went in to pick up my
newest issue of Transformers.
I was just curious.
I'm like, how's Transformers selling here?
And they said it was their
number one selling book.
Nice.
Wow.
Yeah.
They said that Transformers
for them is selling more
than any Batman book or
X-Men book currently.
Wow.
And then when I said, oh, even Spider-Man,
they laughed at me because
apparently Spider-Man is
doing garbage right now.
(06:37):
But.
um yeah that's I mean I it's
great and you know I'm
probably going to be a
sucker and get in on one of
these just because I I've
never seen a sound chip in
a comic before I just we're
all suckers here jeremy
you're in good company I'm
probably I'm probably
(06:58):
getting all three of these
I don't know what to say.
I'm just kind of blown away.
When you told me before we
recorded the episode, this is a thing.
It's just and yet I want one.
Damn it.
Damn it.
They got my number.
They know exactly what the question is,
(07:18):
what's going to happen with
the battery in that sound chip?
You know, five, ten years down the line.
We're not getting it graded.
Yeah,
I'm just thinking battery goes bad
starts corroding.
you're if it's created at
least it's in the plastic
thing but if it's not you
know this is so weird this
(07:42):
is so weird in the chat
alex says uh he thought he
saw they were going for
twenty dollars each so
that's a it's a lot for us
oh boy I don't know that's hard
I've already got like three,
three copies of number one.
(08:04):
Do I need another one that talks to me?
Yes.
It doesn't talk.
It says, that's what it says to you.
Well, I mean, you know what I mean?
Like it makes noises at me.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
(08:25):
So another day,
another reprint for skybound, but yeah,
they're, they're getting,
The next will be the
skybound reprint comic that
like is a robot butler that
does everything for you.
Well,
you remember IDW did those motion comics?
Oh, yeah.
What if it's like the for like,
(08:48):
five hundred dollars,
they'll sell you an Android tablet.
That's just the comic with
voices and stuff.
I can't do it.
All I can do is show the comic.
Just the one one comic.
just do my own version of
the comic in motion with
voices blackjack and
hookers all right well uh
(09:17):
let's get into our comic

Joe number five.

It's your own fault if you

All right, G.I.
Joe number five, writer Joshua Williamson,
artist Tom Riley, colorist Jordi Belair,
letterer Russ Wooten,
editor Ben Abernathy,
publication design Andres Juarez,
(10:21):
production Ashby Florence.
So let's get into the summary,
and then we're going to talk about it.
We pick up from the end of
issue number four.
Duke's team has been
captured and is at the mercy of Cobra.
Destro's henchman, Mercer,
comes to gloat since he has
Duke right where he wants him.
Duke tells Mercer they
(10:42):
should just kill him and
his team now before they kill him.
Baroness, one of his team members,
thinks Duke has gone crazy.
Mercer just tells them that
they're not going to kill
them because they've got
big plans for Duke and his team.
But first,
Mercer brings Duke to meet his
old antagonist, Destro.
Duke tells Destro he won't talk,
so Destro orders Mercer to
(11:02):
give Duke a savage beating.
After several blows,
Duke is covered in his own
blood on the floor, but Duke is unbroken.
He just asks if that's the best they got.
Destro is impressed,
but he thinks there's a
better way to get to Duke
through his team.
Destro grabs the Baroness by
the hair and tells Duke
they'll torture her to see
what they can get when she
reaches her breaking point,
(11:23):
but Baroness is defined as well.
Destro is impressed,
but Chameleon would like to
have a crack at her too.
But Destro just wants to
know the answer to one question.
How did Duke's team know
their next targets?
They had tactical support at
both the brainwave scanner
and Dr. Monev's locations.
On the floor, Duke just starts laughing.
He tells Destro he just gave
(11:44):
the game away because Duke
knows something he doesn't.
Then Duke just says, clutch, hit it.
Destro has a moment of
confusion before his tank
revs to life and starts
firing on the Cobra soldiers.
Clutch,
who managed to stay undercover all
this time,
reveals himself and turns the
laser blast back on Cobra.
Destro is enraged and orders
his soldiers to return fire,
(12:05):
but they're pinned down.
Duke and his team escape to
find cover while Clutch
provides an awesome surprise attack,
mowing down a bunch of Cobra troops.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the facility,
Cobra Commander supervisors
Dr. Monev as he puts the
final touches on his brainwave scanner.
He's using the Energon power
source to turn it into a brainwave bomb,
(12:25):
and when it's detonated,
everyone within a five-mile
radius will be immediately
brainwashed and become loyal to Cobra.
But there's a problem.
Everyone within the closer
one-mile radius will have
their minds completely erased.
Cobra Commander doesn't see
a problem with this and
just orders Dr. Monev to
get back to work.
Back in the battle,
Scrap Iron has brought his
(12:46):
bazooka to even the odds.
He's a little sad that he
has to fire on their own Hiss tank,
but he opens fire.
Clutch has a moment to
escape before the Hiss tank
is blown apart.
With the Joe's advantage gone,
Destro orders his Cobra
troops to press their
attack and leave no one alive.
Clutch pulls himself out of
the tank wreckage to
reunite with Duke and his teammates.
He helps free them all from
(13:07):
their handcuffs while they
crouch behind some tank treads for cover.
They're trapped unarmed with
Cobra between them and the
only exit from the room.
Duke's plan is simple.
Bum rush the Cobra troops
and take their weapons as
they engage the first wave.
Baroness points out that
it's a suicide mission and
Duke just answers that if
it's time to die,
he's glad to die with his team.
They all put their hands in
(13:28):
and Duke says for rock and roll.
And there's just one thing left to say.
Yo, Joe!
Destro can't believe it,
but the Joes attack head on.
They somehow avoid any
serious gunshot or stabbing
wounds while they take out
all the Coburg soldiers in front of them.
Then Duke gets a grenade and
throws it at Destro's head.
(13:49):
Destro is blown through a
wall and the Joes gain the
momentum to make their escape.
They get to an unattended
helicopter on a helipad and
get everyone aboard.
As the chopper takes off,
Destro watches in impotent rage.
He runs to another
helicopter and takes off in pursuit.
Baroness, flying the Joe's helicopter,
notices they're being tailed,
but then she also notices
(14:09):
Duke isn't on the chopper with them.
Back at the brainwave scanner slash bomb,
Dr. Monev admires his work.
When the bomb detonates in Washington,
D.C.,
it will pave the way for Cobra to
take over the United States
and change the world forever.
Finally,
Dr. Monev notices the shooting has
stopped.
Cobra commander tells him to
prepare the brainwave bomb for transport.
(14:31):
But Dr. Monev reminds him
that Destro was supposed to
bring them a test subject.
Cobra Commander agrees that
they need to test it and
roughly shoves Dr. Monev into the device.
Dr. Monev only has a moment
to object before Cobra
Commander turns it on.
Dr. Monev starts screaming
in agony as the brainwave
scanner does its work.
Then Destro contacts Cobra
Commander on his
communicator to update him
(14:52):
on the situation.
Cobra Commander tells them
they need a transport team
for the brainwave bomb,
but Destro tells them
they've got bigger problems.
The Joes have escaped,
and it's only a matter of
time before reinforcements arrive.
They have to evacuate.
Cobra Commander says fine,
he'll do the transport himself,
and cuts the communication.
Then behind him,
Cobra Commander hears the
click of a gun cocking.
(15:14):
Duke has found him and has a
pistol aimed at his head.
To be continued.
So I thought this was a really fast-paced,
high-action issue.
I really liked it.
I really liked the reveal of
Clutch doing the sneak attack.
(15:35):
I thought that was really well done.
Even though I knew he was there undercover,
I didn't expect that.
felt like also Duke
admitting that he also
didn't expect it either he
was just guessing it was a
nice little you know nice
little touch there I also
like the kind of just nod
(15:55):
to the fans showing
Destro's interaction with
Baroness because of course
in every other continuity
Destro and Baroness are an
item and here they're on
opposite sides and Destro
is apparently like a
chameleon and Destro are a
thing here so you've got that
He kind of he did give
Baroness that a look.
Yeah, is that one panel?
(16:17):
Yep.
Yep.
That's true.
That's true.
So, you know, shadows of things to come,
I guess.
But yeah, I really like this issue.
I think the whole stuff with
Dr. Monev and Cobra Commander, of course,
betraying Dr. Monev and
(16:38):
shoving him into the brainwave scanner.
Because everyone is just a tool to him.
So I like that characterization continues.
One thing I did not like, and you know,
it's, I mean, you can shrug it off, but
that I mean okay I know
(16:58):
they're the main characters
but just having them like
rush all the guys with guns
and not get hurt at all
it's like that's that was
like extreme plot armor
that was like you know
masterpiece plot armor here.
There should have been a
little bit of tactics or something.
(17:19):
Mercer also had it.
He was, when Clutch was firing,
he was getting hit and it
was blowing away some of
the cover troops.
That's true.
He got winged in the arm or
something there.
Any named character gets plot armor.
Rock and roll.
(17:41):
his plot armor failed.
I mean, I just think, you know,
I would have liked, like,
I would have liked them to like, you know,
with Mercer, at least he's like,
he's diving behind
something to like get out
of the path of the blast.
They're just like,
we're going to just rush the rush,
the first wave and, you know,
hope no one gets shot.
(18:01):
And then we're just,
and then we'll get the,
and then we'll get the
first wave guns and then
we'll keep going.
It just seemed like,
There couldn't,
there couldn't have been
another way to do this.
That seemed a little bit less ridiculous.
I don't know.
I like in the chat, Alex says yelling, yo,
Joe activates the plot armor.
So there you go.
(18:26):
Uh, but yeah, overall I still,
I mean the artwork I
thought was great and, um, and yeah,
it was a, it was a good issue.
All right, Dr. Pants,
you have not been up to date on G.I.
Joe,
so I gave you all five issues at once
to kind of binge read.
So if you want to give your
(18:47):
overall opinions of the
series so far and then this
issue in particular, let's hear them.
thank you for giving me all five issues.
I did a nice little binge
read earlier today.
So I was I was up to snuff on this.
And I gotta say, like, I was a GI Joe fan.
And when I was a kid, as in,
(19:07):
the toys were cool.
And the cartoon was was lovely.
I don't know noise for me to
have on the TV.
But
I don't remember many of the
characters aside from, you know,
the big ones like Duke and
Destro and Cobra Commander and Baroness.
And honestly,
I think that plays well into
this because I don't know
who a lot of these
characters are and I don't
(19:29):
know what to expect from
them because of it.
Which is kind of nice.
I think the only thing is, I'm like, well,
Baroness is supposed to be a bad guy.
So, hmm.
Is the mind bomb going to
mess with her and make her evil?
Or is it going to be something else?
The whole series has been a lot of fun.
This has been like a great
kind of action movie plot going on here.
(19:50):
And it seems, you know,
a little cliche at times and whatnot.
But man, oh man, was it a fun ride.
Yeah.
And I really enjoyed it.
And all culminating in this issue,
because I'm sitting there
and I'm wondering what's
going to happen with Clutch,
because there's that scene
in issue three or four
where Cobra Commander says, oh,
I can tell there's somebody
(20:11):
in here giving away information.
And it's like, oh, Rose,
you know about Clutch?
And nope.
And there's all kinds of cool moments.
But this issue in particular, like a nice,
not resolution,
but it's like everything's
coming to a head that's
been going on since issue one.
And it was really great.
And it was bloody and
violent and exciting.
(20:32):
And there were twists and
turns and all the major
players got to have a moment.
And it was really great.
And man, that moment when, yeah,
when Duke's just like clutch hit it,
I was like,
Yay.
This is what I've been waiting for.
I mean, it shows trust in,
in his longtime friend.
Like if he's there,
(20:52):
he's going to be trying to escape.
So.
Yep.
Yep.
No, it was, it was really good.
I will say that they've been,
I think they've been doing
a really good job.
Characterizing all the
different characters too.
It doesn't feel,
it doesn't feel like
they're all gimmicky like
they were in the original cartoon where,
you know, they were,
They had their accessory or
(21:13):
their one thing that made
them who they were.
But they're all kind of
unique and that's been pretty fun.
I will say, I think my only complaint is,
Charles, I agree with you,
where they had the ridiculous plot armor.
There's a shot in the book
when they are rushing the
Cobra troops and literally
Duke has bullets going
through both of his shoulders.
Shit.
and the one I don't know how
(21:34):
how it's going but the
bullet somehow clears the
top of his head and then
hits the shoulder behind
him which is lower and I
don't I don't get it but uh
cover girl does get does
get cut pretty hard in that
scene yeah yeah only to
turn it around and stab a guy but
It's a flesh wound.
It's just a flesh wound.
It's fine.
(21:56):
No, this was a lot of fun.
I actually really enjoyed reading it.
And like I said,
not having really a history with this,
I didn't know what to expect.
Because I'm also assuming
that Dr. Monev is a
character from the earlier series.
He's Dr. Venom.
He's Dr. Venom.
Monev backwards.
Yeah.
Well,
they mentioned that in an earlier issue,
and I'm like, oh,
(22:16):
I should have caught that.
I should have caught that.
The art was good in this, too.
I like the artwork.
I really like there's a
two-tone thing going on in
this issue where it's kind
of red and it's kind of blue,
which kind of mimics the
old series because knowing
is half the battle and the
other half is red and blue lasers.
(22:38):
And that's kind of what this felt like.
And it was just a lot of fun.
I don't know what else to say.
I kind of want to find out what happens.
I kind of want to keep going
with this and see where
this confrontation between
Duke and Cobra Commander comes to.
And the last thing I'll say is I really,
really love...
that you know cobra
(22:58):
commander in the eighties
was this like comically
just kind of inept villain
he was the bad guy who made
you know he would just you
know he would get shut down
by the heroes and scream
we'll be back joe's cobra
but this this whole series
and the cobra commander
series before this he's
insane and I love it I love
(23:18):
that he's actually kind of
terrifying he's competent
is competent and he is
terrifying and I really
like that and I want to see
what happens here so yeah I
I really enjoyed this not I
didn't enjoy it more than
transformers didn't enjoy
more than transformers but
still a fun read all right
(23:43):
uh jeremy what are your thoughts
I also really enjoyed it.
Um, a lot of the same, uh,
points that you guys made
in terms of like plot armor.
I mean,
you say like Mercer was getting out
of the way Mercer was like
getting hit much like Duke
was like on the shoulders and, and stuff.
(24:03):
And just, he's, you know,
named characters.
So he's got plot armor.
But I don't know.
I just,
I just feel like it feels like the
distinction I make is he's
not running towards the lasers.
That's what that's my only thing.
He's trying to turn away from the lasers.
But the lasers are coming
from the his tank.
(24:24):
So they're more powerful.
All right.
That's fair.
That's fair.
Anyway, it was, it was fun.
Got a lot of kind of things
that had been building up
that you got resolutions, but
it's,
it's the end of the first arc and the
story is not concluded yet.
So we got a lot more to, to see,
(24:47):
but I also,
I really liked the panel layouts.
They did some really fun
stuff with the panel layouts here.
It just,
they were not constrained to your
typical look of the comic.
It was more cinematic.
I think it, it,
in how they did things and
(25:07):
then there was the the big
fight with the joes rushing
um where it goes into
smaller boxes and stuff and
where you actually see some
of the action hit it just
goes to uh not really black
and white it's more because
it's like it's the red and
(25:27):
black or something it's
just two tones though like
you were saying it's just
kind of like you see in some
anime or something where it
just gets really stylized
for an action move or
something and I thought it
worked really well um all
the colors like you get
(25:49):
some like some scenes where
it's just it's full color
and then some where it just
gets really muted and it's
more you know it goes into
kind of the the spy
thriller aspect of kind of
what I've been enjoying in the book.
So I thought this was really fun.
(26:10):
And yeah,
I'm looking forward to seeing
where this goes and getting
more of the lore built out
in the whole Energon
universe because now
everyone's aware of Energon and
and its capabilities,
at least in terms of
(26:31):
destruction and stuff.
So it's, it's fun.
So yeah, this is great.
All right.
So I think that will wrap up
our review of GI Joe number five and, uh,
hopefully Daryl will be
(26:51):
back next week so we can
torture him with GI Joe number six.
All right, so that's our review.
Let's move on to some media news.
Just one bit in media news, but it is very,
(27:12):
very cool.
Courtesy of the Sunbow and
Marvel Script Storyboard Archive,
We have the nineteen eighty
six character binder for Transformers.
Hundred and eighty six pages.
This covers Bob Budiansky
profiles and Marvel
Productions model sheets
for basically all of the
incoming nineteen eighty six toy line,
excluding the new mini bots, Swerve,
(27:33):
Pipes, Tailgate, Hubcap and Outback,
as well as some eighty four
and eighty five returning characters.
We get some very long profile here.
about Autobot City Metroplex.
We get some images here of
some of the other robots and whatnot,
some sketches.
And I love that, of course,
(27:53):
we got the old broadside
image from before they had
finalized his design, which very,
very cool.
Just a lot of cool information.
And yeah.
you can go uh check that out
at the sunbow marvel
archive if you're
interested in checking all
that out but it's a it's
very interesting very
interesting to look back
(28:14):
and see what kind of the
profiles were because I
think a lot of stuff in the
profiles might not have
translated over into what
we saw in the cartoon at
times so yeah check that
out all right and uh we
will finish up the show
with convention news
(28:37):
All right.
Let me get my page up here.
So just one thing in
convention news this week,
and that is TF Con Toronto,
we're starting to get
announcements for that.
It's July,
and Alex Milne is going to be
there being a native Canadian.
That makes sense.
He's he's I think he lives
(28:59):
in the greater Toronto area.
So good.
It'll be good seeing him.
And they have here an image
of the Skybound Optimus Prime look.
Oh,
this was from the cover that he did for
(29:22):
that comic shop.
That's where it's from.
OK.
I was like,
when did he do a Skybound image?
But yeah, I forgot he did this.
But he's also done more than meets the eye,
Transformers vs. Terminator,
Transformers vs. ROM, Unicron series,
just so much stuff.
Such good art.
So be sure to check him out
(29:43):
on his socials for his
commissions and stuff.
So, yeah, that will be a lot of fun.
Will there be a new Hot Motor Oil book?
that would be a question for
Daryl of a guess.
He's got the line to Alex.
You can probably ask Alex
(30:04):
directly on social media.
All right, well,
that's it for this episode
of Transmissions Alt Mode.

Nourish Your Domus on
YouTube is our main outlet.
We do all kinds of videos,
both long and short form.
This entire month has been March Mechness,
(31:09):
where I have been doing mech videos.
Every weekday since the beginning.
And if you are listening to this on Friday,
if the video is not up,
there should be a nice big
mecha-themed video that I
put a lot of love into.
It's not Transformers-related,
but it is mecha-related.
So if you want to check that out,
please do.
(31:29):
Or check out the
Transformers videos I did
earlier in the month.
But, yeah.
Oh, and I forgot.
There's going to be a new music video,
a new original music video
that completes our I Love
Robots trilogy we've been doing.
Okay.
Yeah.
Lambo and I filmed some
footage for that recently,
(31:50):
and he's working on putting
that together.
So I will make sure to share
that with the transmissions people,
and hopefully you can check that out.
All right.
Looking forward to it.
I missed the second song in the trilogy.
It's called Robot Redemption.
Oh, okay.
(32:10):
I'll have to check that out.
I got to rap in that one.
Okay.
I don't know if that sells.
That's always a dangerous
thing for people of our complexion.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it was fun though.
I'll go easy on you, Dr. Banz.
Thank you.
(32:35):
I want to point out I am not

excellent transmissions team, Jeremy,
aka Yakko.
Hey, how's it going?
And Scott, the illustrious Dr. Pants.
Does the plot armor apply to

all of us or just the main hosts?
I need to know for, you know,
insurance purposes.
Let's talk Transformers.
All right.

twenty five in the summer.
So.
That's what people voted for, right?
More Big Bots episodes?
Is that on the ballot for I
wish that's what they voted for.
That would be one thing to
unite everybody.
(01:59):
To light this darkest hour.
Yeah.
Something like that.
All right.
Of course,
we also have our Transformers
Live Play RPG podcast, Empire of Rust.
And that is going is has our
(02:19):
bonus uncut version of
episode one thirty two.
It's twenty thousand leagues
under the track.
So the bonus version came out this week,
so that's available for Donatrons.
Everyone,
all our Donatrons have access to
that early bonus uncut version.
Then the regular version of
episode one thirty two is
(02:40):
coming out this Monday,
March thirty first,
and that will be at
transmissions podcast dot com slash rust.
So everyone will get a
chance to listen to the final version.
We've still got copies of
our Transformers number one
from Skybound with our
cover art by EJ Su.
So you can pick that up at our website,
(03:02):
transmissionspodcast.com slash comic.
And then, of course,
we've got our ToyHax promo code.
That code is PLAYBACK and
you'll get off all your
purchases at toyhax.com.
That promo code is only good
till the end of March.
So you've only got a couple
more days to use it before
the code switches over and
(03:22):
we'll announce the April
code in the next episode of
Transmissions.
So stay tuned for that next week.
Lastly,
we've got just a announcement from
one of our Donatrons,
who is also a comic artist, Nathan Webb.
And they have a fan comic
called Britformers that's
(03:43):
been going on for several years now.
And issue four is being kickstarted.
So you can check out their
Kickstarter page.
We'll have a link to it in the show notes.
And if you want to pick up a
copy of the Britformers issue,
you can get issue four.
You can also get digital
copies of issues one
through three if you missed those.
So you can pick that up at
that by packing that Kickstarter.
(04:05):
And they've already passed a
bunch of their stretch goals, you know,
just to get the comic
printed and distributed out.
So take a look at that and enjoy.
All right, let's get into the show.
We're gonna start off with
some comics news.
(04:32):
All right, in comics news,
We've got another
announcement from Skybound.
So, you know,
they've done a lot of
printings of their Energon
Universe issues,
Transformers number one and
Void Rivals number one.
Now we've got something
completely different, a new pre-print.
with audio effects.
(04:53):
So there's gonna be a sound
chip included in these new
versions of Transformers
number one and Void Rivals number one,
and they will make the
transforming sound when you
open the issue.
So there will be three variants of these.
The first two are for
Transformers number one,
you've got an Optimus Prime
Autobot variant and a
Starscream Decepticon
variant for Transformers number one.
(05:14):
Then you've got a Jetfire
Autobot variant for Void
Rivals number one.
So all three of these will
have different sound chips
with different transforming
sounds in them.
So, you know,
these are coming fall of this year.
So I guess like September,
twenty twenty five.
(05:34):
So if I think they will
probably be up for a
preorder soon or you can
ask for them at your local comic shop.
This is getting to be ridiculous.
Well, it's way, way past ridiculous.
I comment on,
I think it was Ben Yee posted
on Facebook and I was like,
surely now Transformers
(05:55):
number one has had more reprints,
like reprinted editions
than Action Comics number one.
I was going to say,
has there ever been an
issue number one reprinted
this much in such a short amount of time?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I will say I did ask my
local comic shop when I
(06:15):
went in to pick up my
newest issue of Transformers.
I was just curious.
I'm like, how's Transformers selling here?
And they said it was their
number one selling book.
Nice.
Wow.
Yeah.
They said that Transformers
for them is selling more
than any Batman book or
X-Men book currently.
Wow.
And then when I said, oh, even Spider-Man,
they laughed at me because
apparently Spider-Man is
doing garbage right now.
(06:37):
But.
um yeah that's I mean I it's
great and you know I'm
probably going to be a
sucker and get in on one of
these just because I I've
never seen a sound chip in
a comic before I just we're
all suckers here jeremy
you're in good company I'm
probably I'm probably
(06:58):
getting all three of these
I don't know what to say.
I'm just kind of blown away.
When you told me before we
recorded the episode, this is a thing.
It's just and yet I want one.
Damn it.
Damn it.
They got my number.
They know exactly what the question is,
(07:18):
what's going to happen with
the battery in that sound chip?
You know, five, ten years down the line.
We're not getting it graded.
Yeah,
I'm just thinking battery goes bad
starts corroding.
you're if it's created at
least it's in the plastic
thing but if it's not you
know this is so weird this
(07:42):
is so weird in the chat
alex says uh he thought he
saw they were going for
twenty dollars each so
that's a it's a lot for us
oh boy I don't know that's hard
I've already got like three,
three copies of number one.
(08:04):
Do I need another one that talks to me?
Yes.
It doesn't talk.
It says, that's what it says to you.
Well, I mean, you know what I mean?
Like it makes noises at me.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
(08:25):
So another day,
another reprint for skybound, but yeah,
they're, they're getting,
The next will be the
skybound reprint comic that
like is a robot butler that
does everything for you.
Well,
you remember IDW did those motion comics?
Oh, yeah.
What if it's like the for like,
(08:48):
five hundred dollars,
they'll sell you an Android tablet.
That's just the comic with
voices and stuff.
I can't do it.
All I can do is show the comic.
Just the one one comic.
just do my own version of
the comic in motion with
voices blackjack and
hookers all right well uh
(09:17):
let's get into our comic
review all right so uh
unfortunately uh no transformers comic
this week.
But what we do have is GI
Joe part of the energon universe.
(09:39):
Yay.
So this is our we're doing a
spoiler full reviews full
full spoiler review of GI
Joe number five.
So if you haven't picked it up yet,
pick it up.
You should have picked it up
already because it's all
it's already almost over a
week old at this point when
you're when you're watching this.
So, you know,
(09:59):
It's your own fault if you
didn't read it yet.
But if you don't care about spoilers,
then just listen to the review and enjoy.
All right, G.I.
Joe number five, writer Joshua Williamson,
artist Tom Riley, colorist Jordi Belair,
letterer Russ Wooten,
editor Ben Abernathy,
publication design Andres Juarez,
(10:21):
production Ashby Florence.
So let's get into the summary,
and then we're going to talk about it.
We pick up from the end of
issue number four.
Duke's team has been
captured and is at the mercy of Cobra.
Destro's henchman, Mercer,
comes to gloat since he has
Duke right where he wants him.
Duke tells Mercer they
(10:42):
should just kill him and
his team now before they kill him.
Baroness, one of his team members,
thinks Duke has gone crazy.
Mercer just tells them that
they're not going to kill
them because they've got
big plans for Duke and his team.
But first,
Mercer brings Duke to meet his
old antagonist, Destro.
Duke tells Destro he won't talk,
so Destro orders Mercer to
(11:02):
give Duke a savage beating.
After several blows,
Duke is covered in his own
blood on the floor, but Duke is unbroken.
He just asks if that's the best they got.
Destro is impressed,
but he thinks there's a
better way to get to Duke
through his team.
Destro grabs the Baroness by
the hair and tells Duke
they'll torture her to see
what they can get when she
reaches her breaking point,
(11:23):
but Baroness is defined as well.
Destro is impressed,
but Chameleon would like to
have a crack at her too.
But Destro just wants to
know the answer to one question.
How did Duke's team know
their next targets?
They had tactical support at
both the brainwave scanner
and Dr. Monev's locations.
On the floor, Duke just starts laughing.
He tells Destro he just gave
(11:44):
the game away because Duke
knows something he doesn't.
Then Duke just says, clutch, hit it.
Destro has a moment of
confusion before his tank
revs to life and starts
firing on the Cobra soldiers.
Clutch,
who managed to stay undercover all
this time,
reveals himself and turns the
laser blast back on Cobra.
Destro is enraged and orders
his soldiers to return fire,
(12:05):
but they're pinned down.
Duke and his team escape to
find cover while Clutch
provides an awesome surprise attack,
mowing down a bunch of Cobra troops.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the facility,
Cobra Commander supervisors
Dr. Monev as he puts the
final touches on his brainwave scanner.
He's using the Energon power
source to turn it into a brainwave bomb,
(12:25):
and when it's detonated,
everyone within a five-mile
radius will be immediately
brainwashed and become loyal to Cobra.
But there's a problem.
Everyone within the closer
one-mile radius will have
their minds completely erased.
Cobra Commander doesn't see
a problem with this and
just orders Dr. Monev to
get back to work.
Back in the battle,
Scrap Iron has brought his
(12:46):
bazooka to even the odds.
He's a little sad that he
has to fire on their own Hiss tank,
but he opens fire.
Clutch has a moment to
escape before the Hiss tank
is blown apart.
With the Joe's advantage gone,
Destro orders his Cobra
troops to press their
attack and leave no one alive.
Clutch pulls himself out of
the tank wreckage to
reunite with Duke and his teammates.
He helps free them all from
(13:07):
their handcuffs while they
crouch behind some tank treads for cover.
They're trapped unarmed with
Cobra between them and the
only exit from the room.
Duke's plan is simple.
Bum rush the Cobra troops
and take their weapons as
they engage the first wave.
Baroness points out that
it's a suicide mission and
Duke just answers that if
it's time to die,
he's glad to die with his team.
They all put their hands in
(13:28):
and Duke says for rock and roll.
And there's just one thing left to say.
Yo, Joe!
Destro can't believe it,
but the Joes attack head on.
They somehow avoid any
serious gunshot or stabbing
wounds while they take out
all the Coburg soldiers in front of them.
Then Duke gets a grenade and
throws it at Destro's head.
(13:49):
Destro is blown through a
wall and the Joes gain the
momentum to make their escape.
They get to an unattended
helicopter on a helipad and
get everyone aboard.
As the chopper takes off,
Destro watches in impotent rage.
He runs to another
helicopter and takes off in pursuit.
Baroness, flying the Joe's helicopter,
notices they're being tailed,
but then she also notices
(14:09):
Duke isn't on the chopper with them.
Back at the brainwave scanner slash bomb,
Dr. Monev admires his work.
When the bomb detonates in Washington,
D.C.,
it will pave the way for Cobra to
take over the United States
and change the world forever.
Finally,
Dr. Monev notices the shooting has
stopped.
Cobra commander tells him to
prepare the brainwave bomb for transport.
(14:31):
But Dr. Monev reminds him
that Destro was supposed to
bring them a test subject.
Cobra Commander agrees that
they need to test it and
roughly shoves Dr. Monev into the device.
Dr. Monev only has a moment
to object before Cobra
Commander turns it on.
Dr. Monev starts screaming
in agony as the brainwave
scanner does its work.
Then Destro contacts Cobra
Commander on his
communicator to update him
(14:52):
on the situation.
Cobra Commander tells them
they need a transport team
for the brainwave bomb,
but Destro tells them
they've got bigger problems.
The Joes have escaped,
and it's only a matter of
time before reinforcements arrive.
They have to evacuate.
Cobra Commander says fine,
he'll do the transport himself,
and cuts the communication.
Then behind him,
Cobra Commander hears the
click of a gun cocking.
(15:14):
Duke has found him and has a
pistol aimed at his head.
To be continued.
So I thought this was a really fast-paced,
high-action issue.
I really liked it.
I really liked the reveal of
Clutch doing the sneak attack.
(15:35):
I thought that was really well done.
Even though I knew he was there undercover,
I didn't expect that.
felt like also Duke
admitting that he also
didn't expect it either he
was just guessing it was a
nice little you know nice
little touch there I also
like the kind of just nod
(15:55):
to the fans showing
Destro's interaction with
Baroness because of course
in every other continuity
Destro and Baroness are an
item and here they're on
opposite sides and Destro
is apparently like a
chameleon and Destro are a
thing here so you've got that
He kind of he did give
Baroness that a look.
Yeah, is that one panel?
(16:17):
Yep.
Yep.
That's true.
That's true.
So, you know, shadows of things to come,
I guess.
But yeah, I really like this issue.
I think the whole stuff with
Dr. Monev and Cobra Commander, of course,
betraying Dr. Monev and
(16:38):
shoving him into the brainwave scanner.
Because everyone is just a tool to him.
So I like that characterization continues.
One thing I did not like, and you know,
it's, I mean, you can shrug it off, but
that I mean okay I know
(16:58):
they're the main characters
but just having them like
rush all the guys with guns
and not get hurt at all
it's like that's that was
like extreme plot armor
that was like you know
masterpiece plot armor here.
There should have been a
little bit of tactics or something.
(17:19):
Mercer also had it.
He was, when Clutch was firing,
he was getting hit and it
was blowing away some of
the cover troops.
That's true.
He got winged in the arm or
something there.
Any named character gets plot armor.
Rock and roll.
(17:41):
his plot armor failed.
I mean, I just think, you know,
I would have liked, like,
I would have liked them to like, you know,
with Mercer, at least he's like,
he's diving behind
something to like get out
of the path of the blast.
They're just like,
we're going to just rush the rush,
the first wave and, you know,
hope no one gets shot.
(18:01):
And then we're just,
and then we'll get the,
and then we'll get the
first wave guns and then
we'll keep going.
It just seemed like,
There couldn't,
there couldn't have been
another way to do this.
That seemed a little bit less ridiculous.
I don't know.
I like in the chat, Alex says yelling, yo,
Joe activates the plot armor.
So there you go.
(18:26):
Uh, but yeah, overall I still,
I mean the artwork I
thought was great and, um, and yeah,
it was a, it was a good issue.
All right, Dr. Pants,
you have not been up to date on G.I.
Joe,
so I gave you all five issues at once
to kind of binge read.
So if you want to give your
(18:47):
overall opinions of the
series so far and then this
issue in particular, let's hear them.
thank you for giving me all five issues.
I did a nice little binge
read earlier today.
So I was I was up to snuff on this.
And I gotta say, like, I was a GI Joe fan.
And when I was a kid, as in,
(19:07):
the toys were cool.
And the cartoon was was lovely.
I don't know noise for me to
have on the TV.
But
I don't remember many of the
characters aside from, you know,
the big ones like Duke and
Destro and Cobra Commander and Baroness.
And honestly,
I think that plays well into
this because I don't know
who a lot of these
characters are and I don't
(19:29):
know what to expect from
them because of it.
Which is kind of nice.
I think the only thing is, I'm like, well,
Baroness is supposed to be a bad guy.
So, hmm.
Is the mind bomb going to
mess with her and make her evil?
Or is it going to be something else?
The whole series has been a lot of fun.
This has been like a great
kind of action movie plot going on here.
(19:50):
And it seems, you know,
a little cliche at times and whatnot.
But man, oh man, was it a fun ride.
Yeah.
And I really enjoyed it.
And all culminating in this issue,
because I'm sitting there
and I'm wondering what's
going to happen with Clutch,
because there's that scene
in issue three or four
where Cobra Commander says, oh,
I can tell there's somebody
(20:11):
in here giving away information.
And it's like, oh, Rose,
you know about Clutch?
And nope.
And there's all kinds of cool moments.
But this issue in particular, like a nice,
not resolution,
but it's like everything's
coming to a head that's
been going on since issue one.
And it was really great.
And it was bloody and
violent and exciting.
(20:32):
And there were twists and
turns and all the major
players got to have a moment.
And it was really great.
And man, that moment when, yeah,
when Duke's just like clutch hit it,
I was like,
Yay.
This is what I've been waiting for.
I mean, it shows trust in,
in his longtime friend.
Like if he's there,
(20:52):
he's going to be trying to escape.
So.
Yep.
Yep.
No, it was, it was really good.
I will say that they've been,
I think they've been doing
a really good job.
Characterizing all the
different characters too.
It doesn't feel,
it doesn't feel like
they're all gimmicky like
they were in the original cartoon where,
you know, they were,
They had their accessory or
(21:13):
their one thing that made
them who they were.
But they're all kind of
unique and that's been pretty fun.
I will say, I think my only complaint is,
Charles, I agree with you,
where they had the ridiculous plot armor.
There's a shot in the book
when they are rushing the
Cobra troops and literally
Duke has bullets going
through both of his shoulders.
Shit.
and the one I don't know how
(21:34):
how it's going but the
bullet somehow clears the
top of his head and then
hits the shoulder behind
him which is lower and I
don't I don't get it but uh
cover girl does get does
get cut pretty hard in that
scene yeah yeah only to
turn it around and stab a guy but
It's a flesh wound.
It's just a flesh wound.
It's fine.
(21:56):
No, this was a lot of fun.
I actually really enjoyed reading it.
And like I said,
not having really a history with this,
I didn't know what to expect.
Because I'm also assuming
that Dr. Monev is a
character from the earlier series.
He's Dr. Venom.
He's Dr. Venom.
Monev backwards.
Yeah.
Well,
they mentioned that in an earlier issue,
and I'm like, oh,
(22:16):
I should have caught that.
I should have caught that.
The art was good in this, too.
I like the artwork.
I really like there's a
two-tone thing going on in
this issue where it's kind
of red and it's kind of blue,
which kind of mimics the
old series because knowing
is half the battle and the
other half is red and blue lasers.
(22:38):
And that's kind of what this felt like.
And it was just a lot of fun.
I don't know what else to say.
I kind of want to find out what happens.
I kind of want to keep going
with this and see where
this confrontation between
Duke and Cobra Commander comes to.
And the last thing I'll say is I really,
really love...
that you know cobra
(22:58):
commander in the eighties
was this like comically
just kind of inept villain
he was the bad guy who made
you know he would just you
know he would get shut down
by the heroes and scream
we'll be back joe's cobra
but this this whole series
and the cobra commander
series before this he's
insane and I love it I love
(23:18):
that he's actually kind of
terrifying he's competent
is competent and he is
terrifying and I really
like that and I want to see
what happens here so yeah I
I really enjoyed this not I
didn't enjoy it more than
transformers didn't enjoy
more than transformers but
still a fun read all right
(23:43):
uh jeremy what are your thoughts
I also really enjoyed it.
Um, a lot of the same, uh,
points that you guys made
in terms of like plot armor.
I mean,
you say like Mercer was getting out
of the way Mercer was like
getting hit much like Duke
was like on the shoulders and, and stuff.
(24:03):
And just, he's, you know,
named characters.
So he's got plot armor.
But I don't know.
I just,
I just feel like it feels like the
distinction I make is he's
not running towards the lasers.
That's what that's my only thing.
He's trying to turn away from the lasers.
But the lasers are coming
from the his tank.
(24:24):
So they're more powerful.
All right.
That's fair.
That's fair.
Anyway, it was, it was fun.
Got a lot of kind of things
that had been building up
that you got resolutions, but
it's,
it's the end of the first arc and the
story is not concluded yet.
So we got a lot more to, to see,
(24:47):
but I also,
I really liked the panel layouts.
They did some really fun
stuff with the panel layouts here.
It just,
they were not constrained to your
typical look of the comic.
It was more cinematic.
I think it, it,
in how they did things and
(25:07):
then there was the the big
fight with the joes rushing
um where it goes into
smaller boxes and stuff and
where you actually see some
of the action hit it just
goes to uh not really black
and white it's more because
it's like it's the red and
(25:27):
black or something it's
just two tones though like
you were saying it's just
kind of like you see in some
anime or something where it
just gets really stylized
for an action move or
something and I thought it
worked really well um all
the colors like you get
(25:49):
some like some scenes where
it's just it's full color
and then some where it just
gets really muted and it's
more you know it goes into
kind of the the spy
thriller aspect of kind of
what I've been enjoying in the book.
So I thought this was really fun.
(26:10):
And yeah,
I'm looking forward to seeing
where this goes and getting
more of the lore built out
in the whole Energon
universe because now
everyone's aware of Energon and
and its capabilities,
at least in terms of
(26:31):
destruction and stuff.
So it's, it's fun.
So yeah, this is great.
All right.
So I think that will wrap up
our review of GI Joe number five and, uh,
hopefully Daryl will be
(26:51):
back next week so we can
torture him with GI Joe number six.
All right, so that's our review.
Let's move on to some media news.
Just one bit in media news, but it is very,
(27:12):
very cool.
Courtesy of the Sunbow and
Marvel Script Storyboard Archive,
We have the nineteen eighty
six character binder for Transformers.
Hundred and eighty six pages.
This covers Bob Budiansky
profiles and Marvel
Productions model sheets
for basically all of the
incoming nineteen eighty six toy line,
excluding the new mini bots, Swerve,
(27:33):
Pipes, Tailgate, Hubcap and Outback,
as well as some eighty four
and eighty five returning characters.
We get some very long profile here.
about Autobot City Metroplex.
We get some images here of
some of the other robots and whatnot,
some sketches.
And I love that, of course,
(27:53):
we got the old broadside
image from before they had
finalized his design, which very,
very cool.
Just a lot of cool information.
And yeah.
you can go uh check that out
at the sunbow marvel
archive if you're
interested in checking all
that out but it's a it's
very interesting very
interesting to look back
(28:14):
and see what kind of the
profiles were because I
think a lot of stuff in the
profiles might not have
translated over into what
we saw in the cartoon at
times so yeah check that
out all right and uh we
will finish up the show
with convention news
(28:37):
All right.
Let me get my page up here.
So just one thing in
convention news this week,
and that is TF Con Toronto,
we're starting to get
announcements for that.
It's July,
and Alex Milne is going to be
there being a native Canadian.
That makes sense.
He's he's I think he lives
(28:59):
in the greater Toronto area.
So good.
It'll be good seeing him.
And they have here an image
of the Skybound Optimus Prime look.
Oh,
this was from the cover that he did for
(29:22):
that comic shop.
That's where it's from.
OK.
I was like,
when did he do a Skybound image?
But yeah, I forgot he did this.
But he's also done more than meets the eye,
Transformers vs. Terminator,
Transformers vs. ROM, Unicron series,
just so much stuff.
Such good art.
So be sure to check him out
(29:43):
on his socials for his
commissions and stuff.
So, yeah, that will be a lot of fun.
Will there be a new Hot Motor Oil book?
that would be a question for
Daryl of a guess.
He's got the line to Alex.
You can probably ask Alex
(30:04):
directly on social media.
All right, well,
that's it for this episode
of Transmissions Alt Mode.

This entire month has been March Mechness,
(31:09):
where I have been doing mech videos.
Every weekday since the beginning.
And if you are listening to this on Friday,
if the video is not up,
there should be a nice big
mecha-themed video that I
put a lot of love into.
It's not Transformers-related,
but it is mecha-related.
So if you want to check that out,
please do.
(31:29):
Or check out the
Transformers videos I did
earlier in the month.
But, yeah.
Oh, and I forgot.
There's going to be a new music video,
a new original music video
that completes our I Love
Robots trilogy we've been doing.
Okay.
Yeah.
Lambo and I filmed some
footage for that recently,
(31:50):
and he's working on putting
that together.
So I will make sure to share
that with the transmissions people,
and hopefully you can check that out.
All right.
Looking forward to it.
I missed the second song in the trilogy.
It's called Robot Redemption.
Oh, okay.
(32:10):
I'll have to check that out.
I got to rap in that one.
Okay.
I don't know if that sells.
That's always a dangerous
thing for people of our complexion.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it was fun though.
I'll go easy on you, Dr. Banz.
Thank you.
(32:35):
I want to point out I am not
the musical one in Nostradamus,
and I only listen to Lambo.
He tells me what to do.
So any complaints can be sent to him.
Fair enough.
All right, everyone.
That's it for this episode
of Transmissions Alt Mode.
Again, thanks, everyone,

of transmissions alt mode.
