In the 80’s Transformers were popular enough that they not only got their own toy tie-in comic that ran for 80 issues, they also got a few spinoff miniseries comics. The reason the Transformers bios are so detailed and involved is that the text you’re reading from is actually from the Transformers Universe comic that was published as a 4-issue series as a companion to the main Transformers comic.

Hot Spot was a fire truck who was the leader of the Protectobots and formed the head and torso of the combiner Defensor. Needlenose was a Decepticon Targetmaster who had a gun that transformed into a little Nebulan dude.

🙂 First off, there are G1 Transformers named Needlenose (10:25) and Hot Spot (33:41), so Michael should have gotten credit for that one. Warning, I’m about to get super nerdy and I apologize in advance. It really is the worst, and I might start a crowdfunding campaign someday just to break it on camera.Įnjoyed the episode today, but as a huge Transformers fan I have a lot of nits to pick with some of the details you gave about my beloved robots. Worse still, it refuses to recognize WAVs or MP3s in any program other than everyone’s favorite software, Windows Media Player, and thanks to the equally wonderful Windows 8 operating system, opens as a separate app that makes all other notes/sounds invisible and desktop unusable. It’s basically piped in as a “fifth mic” or host, but the battery goes dead fast and it can’t charge while its playing audio because it’s stupid and it sucks. The second shitty, COMPLETE ASSHOLE computer we bought in 2014 is the Samsung laptop I use to Google shit and cue sounds live on our shows. If you’ve ever been to our YouTube channel, you can attest that it works wonderfully. Nothing fancy, but it does our multi-track podcast recording and video streaming. Thanks to donations last year, we bought a righteous new Dell desktop.
