Where Jeremy and Glenn share their thoughts on Transformers Prime and GI Joe Renegades, report on all the news that's worth talking about this week, and answer some of your questions.
I guess this latest review from our sponsor ALL THE COOL STUFF got missed in the shuffle, so you've got me posting it here instead. Nevertheless, this time they're featuring Animated Wingblade Optimus Prime.
As ever be sure to check our All The Cool Stuff section we have on the FORUM.
It's a sad day when one person beloved by the fandom passes on, it's downright heartbreaking when two happen on the same day...
Leslie Nielsen has died at the age of 84 from complications arising from pneumonia. Best known for his starring role of Lt. Frank Drebin from the "Police Squad" / "Naked Gun" franchise, as well as the "Airplane!" movies, Neislen was also the lead actor in the cult science fiction movie "Forbidden Planet". In memory of Neislen, I have tracked down the first episode of Police Squad for everyone to enjoy:
Reeling from one death, we then found out that director Irvin Kershner has died at age of 87. Apart from directing the Sean Connery Bond return "Never Say Never Again" and "Robocop 2" Kershner was most famous for directing "The Empire Strikes Back" from the Star Wars movie franchise. The second filmed movie, many believe "Empire" to be the strongest and most beloved of the Star Wars movies, and many point towards Kershner's direction as one of the main reasons for this.
On behalf of everyone on the Nerdsphere, I offer my respects and condolences to the friends and families of Leslie Nielsen & Irvin Kershner at this time.
Nic is joined by Alex (JazzSanti) and Dennis (Aerros1) for a discussion about the first two episodes of Transformers Prime that premiered on The Hub today. The second part of the podcast is an "Instant Commentary" that the group recorded unknowingly after the rerun appeared on The Hub. Hope you enjoy!
First off, in our latest "Rising Sun" review, Dinobot13 takes us through the Kamen Rider OOO DX OOO Driver
Then in our (Not quite) Retro Review, Stardub (forum member "The Doctor") shows us Universe Prowl in his usual manner... (Yes, I know it's not a 80's toy, but neither is it new either, so it kinda counts...longshot, I know).
Then finally, in our "Modern Day" review, Vangelus lavishes upon us Reveal the Shield "Turbo Tracks" (or, well, Tracks)
Site Sponsors "All the Cool Stuff" presents another review, taking a look at "Solar Storm Grappel" (Or, simply, Grapple). I've been told to say that smsno1 has a lovely singing voice.....yeah.

A huge, huge thank you to Grufflock for making this. This will now be featured on my podcast and YouTube channel, as well as anything "Nerdsphere-ish" that comes along. A little bit of sheer awesomeness rolled into one.
