I live in Mableton,GA. Was going to come see you guys. Looking forward to next time if you can make it happen. You do great work. Really appreciate the both of you. Thanks!!

[@botvscon]

That means a lot to us. Really appreciate it. We've talked about maybe doing something tomorrow somewhere

[@scythe4277]

I’m from Orlando and I can definitely understand why you would not want to try to hold an event with no air conditioning….. YIKES 🥵

[@botvscon]

Same thing i said when I was told about it

[@traviswhite3399]

Seeing the Bot and the Con in the same room is kinda cool!

[@botvscon]

It has been a lot of fun

[@bludesayo3651]

Always cool to see you guys in the same room! Thanks for the updates, see you at the Members' Live later!!! TADA1!

[@botvscon]

Our pleasure!

[@thelibraview9032]

That weird Optimus Combiner for some reason reminds me of the GoBot Combiner Puzzler.

[@botvscon]

Same here. It's almost cute for just that purpose

[@williambowen4092]

Yay, said my name. Love you guys. Life long fan here.

[@botvscon]

Really appreciate it.

[@williambowen4092]

@@botvscon really curious as to what you sent me.

[@williambowen4092]

@@botvscon they tried to charge my card for party wallop today. But I wont have the money till Wednesday, I called Amazon and tried to explain that but the customer base agent I talked to barely understood English so I'm hoping she told the vender that I'll pay the then.

[@DeluxeBaldwin]

Great Stuff as always good sirs! Great time to be a collector!

[@botvscon]

You know it! Let's get something scheduled to have you on the show

[@warrenlafnear3384]

😊😂 heck yeah I forgot you were going to be in the same space at the same time on camera, I'm like 43 seconds in, now we get to see the real chemistry😅😂

[@botvscon]

We hope you enjoyed. Lots of stories from this weekend

[@thelibraview9032]

That Mixmaster as an arm looks like he has a big beefy arm. I think that looks really cool.

[@botvscon]

Very Popeye-ish

[@BlackCanvasAudio]

Awwwwww finally! My favorite two tubers together! Great video guys. James, how long did you go through Bobby's collection??? Also, I've never seen James get so excited for a figure until he saw Ruination. lol

[@botvscon]

Thanks! It was a blast being in the same room. There's so much, you miss things and have to go through it. I bet I would still find things I missed in that collection! I've been waiting for that Ruination for more than a decade... I can't wait. ~The Con

[@TP3_5]

Fella's, please let us know when those Peter Cullen tickets are available for TF Con Baltimore. I missed out in meeting him in LA! And between both Con's, I can't wait to see what hauls you boys roped in for July. It's good to see the 2 of you together!

[@botvscon]

Hopefully they will post it. I know i missed out on Chicago because I didn't know if was seperate tickets. Will let you know when wet get notice.

[@TP3_5]

@@botvscon appreciate you guys as always!

[@Steve_Vendetta]

Since you both are in each other's company, currently, you should take this opportunity to have your next video thumbnail feature an image of you two mock-strangling each other as a picture-corner inset. 😜

[@botvscon]

Lol that would have been funny

[@ken9720]

Chopshop and Barrage actually did have guns and swords/spears as the Ugrade kit shows.

[@botvscon]

Thanks for confirming. I never had them as a kid

[@juzoinui4627]

I’m excited for Clutch to be released, it’s such a great looking figure

[@botvscon]

Same here! We're you able to get one?

[@thelibraview9032]

Just got my TMNT Crossover X4 today from Amazon!

[@botvscon]

How are they?

[@DavidQueamante]

Yes, the G1 Deluxe Insecticons came with melee weapons

[@botvscon]

Thanks for confirming

[@Deceptisaur]

Hey, just wanted to let you know that ShowZstore finally has IF Jallguar as incoming so it looks like we will be getting that third piece of their Liokaiser pretty soon. 😊

[@botvscon]

Thanks for letting everyone know.. I did push my preorder off earlier this week

[@christophercurran788]

Vector Prime is not from Armada, he's a character from the Cybertron series, and yes he had a sword and no minicon.

[@botvscon]

I thought I mentioned that, but I might have forgotten. The original was one of my favorites, too bad this can't live up to it. ~The Con

[@sqlwizard9451]

Found party wallup last week at target and was denied ...street date strikes again

[@botvscon]

Of its on the shelf it should be sold. That's not our fault they didn't pay attention

[@allensnow6085]

You should experience SDCC one day... BUT... start next year trying for tickets and join a buying group... it's almost impossible to get tickets. I gave away my tickets this year because I couldn't go but if you don't keep buying them as a returning attendee it can take years to get them.

[@botvscon]

Thanks for the notice. I didn't know that.

[@ryandubeau5298]

Yeah that Ninja Turtle my Toys R Us have for about a week and a half now

[@botvscon]

Jealous about you having a Toys R Us. I miss that store

[@lareh5501]

35:34 maybe, _maybe_ an alpha trion in that state.

[@botvscon]

They would disappoint me if they did. I just wish they would have made it a new character with a new name so then it can have its own back story.

[@ozeanmoorejr942]

What version of Predaking do you guys have?I have Feral Rex AKA Predaking!I haven't opened it up since I got it in the mail!😂.That Super Max figure is it part of the Japanese Transformers Series or the IDW comic book series?If it isn't too expensive!I'll probably get it myself!one more question?do you guys have the 3rd Party version of Quickswitch?what 3rd Party version of Sixshot do you have?I purchased a Sixshot.Clone Droid.

[@botvscon]

I have the 3 MP Cang Toys versions, Jinbao OS, G1, and Powers of the Prime versions. James has the original Cang Toys version and the MMC version. I'm not sure if he has the G1 Neither of us picked up Quickswitch. I have G1, Titans Return, both DX9 versions, and Fanstoys. I think James has the green DX9 and Titans Return but not sure. I think Supermax is IDW

[@YakBat]

12:08 -Generation Toy Op Ex. 26:44 XM Studios and IMAGINARIUM ART make some beautiful expensive works of art. I can't wait until my midlife crisis kicks in so I can go all in on these. 51:35 Yep. As if they spent more money on the box than making the figure look better. Just like Starscream. I really don't get this team at times. It's like they're so hell bent on putting their name on these figures that they've completely fumbled the ball needlessly so many times. This Springer ranks amongst their greatest Eff up, the other being why make an inferior Waspinator to the one from almost a decade before? You had the perfect molds to work with, only slight improvements to make.

[@botvscon]

That's the Prime! I hope to own some of those statues one day.... I'm right there with you. I think there is going to be a new head designer soon. This may make things turn for the better.... Maybe I'm being optimistic. But that Waspinator is a great example. The Generations one was great and far superior than the Kingdom one. ~The Con

[@ryandubeau5298]

It sounds like you need to get a bigger house now

[@botvscon]

I may need to rearrange some more things

[@thetitan914]

The matrix has been hacked, first Crowdstrike and now Bot and Con on the same screen.....lol Hasbro huge plans for 2025 probably just means more disappointment on the horizon.....just kidding James is a brave man telling Bobby that Mirazz is his favorite character within grabbing range. "Size Queen" 😂😂😂, so true. I will throw out there that a "Legends scale" Beast Wars Megatron is actually in scale with Masterpiece. As far as the show goes, James. 😊 I agree with James, I think all 3 of the RotB fans will love that Mirazz. (OK, I added the 3 fans part......😊) Glad to see that it looks like XTB is listening to the fans and fixing dumb mistakes. To my knowledge, the original Vector Prime toy had two swords. On the road to 2K by Baltimore!!! Side note for Bobby, Ramen Toy might get the MASK license.

[@botvscon]

I'm hoping 2025 is better for Hasbro than 2024! I still think Mirazz is Bobby's favorite Jazz... Or Mirage... Or whatever. I'm right there with you that Legends BW are perfect for MP! I'll have to let Bobby know about MASK.... ~The Con

whats the link to the unicron heads

[@roonis418]

I REALLY hope a fourth party copies this megazord and makes it cheaper and maybe a little larger. The flames toys is to small for the price. I have a 4th party voltron and its just as good as the 3rd party and way cheaper. I'm guessing the repaint is all green and black to match the upcoming dragon zord. I just got my Heatboys transformering Leo and I'm disappointed. It looks good don't get me wrong but I had to take a screwdriver and loosen up a lot of the screws. The joints were to tight. Do that for behind the legs to make the legs spread apart easier on the ratchet joints. Sadly I can't see a way to tighten the knees. My right knee is so loose the figure can't stand on his own. But you can turn the docking bay into a flight stand so I'll just do that. BE CAREFUL of the feet I do hear people have snapped off the feet while transforming. Hopefully Donatello into a helicopter they will learn from this and make him better. Also the docking bay is huge lol and each turtle will come with one. Great video as always you two keep up the amazing work.

[@botvscon]

Thank you. I have not tried to transform Leonardo yet. I am a bit scared. I'm looking forward to the others but don't know where I'll put the bases. Love me some Voltron

[@roonis418]

@@botvscon Well I'm excited for you to open up leo that docking bay is so large. I'm hoping the other 4 brothers come out better. Hoping heatboys learns and makes the others with more die-cast metal. But as long as I can get leo into the turtle van That is how he will stay. Just remember if anything feels to tight uses a screwdriver and loosen it up.

[@drenx87]

Man i never thought id live to see the day rick akkers Supermax gets finally made.... i remember it got cancelled by Master mind creation i think.... many mode rick akkers designed he also had one made in green for armada megatron on this mold I have the pic of it here in this video link kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXu7YoB6eJWHeJosi=tjBjaLcLZ0caSH2o

[@botvscon]

I think it was a crowd funding campaign that failed... But I am excited for it! The transformation was very cool. It looks like it's going to be amazing! ~The Con
