Silverbolt Maniac wraps the Beastbot Trilogy in his TF Legion fan series and publishes episode 18, “Shadows of Darkness.” This September 16, 2000 Radio Free Cybertron also has Goldimus Prime reviewing Beast Wars Fuzor Silverbolt. Mop-Boy’s Ask RFC explains what happened to the next installment of RFC’s Transformers: The Movie parody.
TF Legion Weekly Update
Silverbolt Maniac is finally online on campus after missing last week. The Beastbot Trilogy is over, and episode 18, “Shadows of Darkness,” went up Friday. He got 21 comments on the trilogy, and only one was negative. He also redesigned the TF Legion website and says he won’t do it again for a long time. In listener questions, he tells shrapnel007 to read “Shadows of Darkness” to learn when Blaster appears. He tells TransmetalSupreme that Adrenac will be a major Season 3 character. The Beastbots will likely return by the end of this season.
Fuzor Silverbolt Review
Goldimus Prime reviews the wolf-eagle Fuzor Silverbolt from the show. The beast mode is mostly gray with copper bits and an 8-inch wingspan. He finds the transformation fun once learned and compares it to Beast Machines Optimus Primal. The 5-inch robot mode keeps the wings fixed on the shoulders and has 9 points of articulation. A planned chaingun was removed. The wing missiles shoot about 8 feet and double as handheld swords. Goldimus calls them “the Mighty Spoons of Justice” because they look more like spoons. He calls Silverbolt average but nice and gives him a 7 out of 10.
Ask RFC
Many listeners asked when the next installment of RFC’s Transformers: The Movie parody will arrive. Mop-Boy says the latest script circulated on the mailing list and then vanished, and a search party is out. He jokes that it may be too late. He closes with a Transformers-inspired song by the Lethargix from mp3.com, played at the end of the show.
