The Computer reviews Car Robots God Magnus and rates the car carrier an 8 out of 10. This October 20, 2000 Radio Free Cybertron runs as a mock Digimon special full of joke outtakes. Stand-in anchor Crystal delivers News from Cybertron from the presidential debates. SilverBoltManiac returns with a TFC update, and last week’s trivia winners are announced.
News from Cybertron
Stand-in anchor Crystal reports on the presidential debate between Galvatron and Optimus Prime. Asked about television violence, Galvatron promises more violent programming for children, then incinerates the reporter. He later calls Al Gore and George W. Bush human germs. Barbara Bush responds by calling Galvatron a big purple bully.
Toy Review: Car Robots God Magnus
The Computer compares God Magnus to Ultra Magnus, since both are car carriers in similar colors. The truck mode has a white cab, a gray trailer, a gold Autobot symbol and voice effects. The trailer holds the three Car Brothers. In robot mode God Magnus stands slightly taller than Super Fire Convoy, but loose arms and long legs make him top-heavy. He combines with Fire Convoy to form God Fire Convoy, which The Computer calls a great display piece. His figure would not stand without the gun, though John DeLuna got his to stand. Super Fire Convoy’s armor can also go on God Fire Convoy for an unofficial Super God Fire Convoy. God Magnus earns an 8 out of 10, and The Computer says he did not quite live up to the hype.
Trivia Winners
Last week’s trivia winners include Blue Streak 7, Gangstercron, Riptor782 and Chris McFeely, among others.
TFC Update
SilverBoltManiac returns after two weeks away, having crushed his microphone under his chair. Season two of TFC is nearly over, and Legacy Part One is now up. The team plans 3D Max upgrades of season one episodes. TFC is running two contests: one for a Transmetal 2 Sonar figure and one for a Beast Machines T-Rex, which ends November 15. Episodes can now be downloaded from Transformers Extreme.
