RyanHOST
Oh, here we go.
RyanHOST
Old cranky pants himself, Bob Budiansky, will... begrudgingly be in attendance with this sour little puss that's not fair that's not fair he wouldn't be there if he didn't want to be but you should you should use the code surly to get 15 off his autograph I'm sorry, Bob.
RyanHOST
We love you.
RyanHOST
Please come on the show.

AaronHOST
All right.
AaronHOST
Well, that's cops, everybody.
AaronHOST
They didn't have the character naming prowess of a Bob Budiansky.
RyanHOST
Bob Budiansky.
Adam SantangeloGUEST
And this was in the middle of the Clone Saga.
Adam SantangeloGUEST
Bob Budiansky was the group editor-in-chief of Spider-Man at this time.
Chad AndersonHOST
Okay, so Adam has two published credits at Marvel.
Chad AndersonHOST
One of them is in Spider-Man Unlimited, the backup story, where you get to write over Sal Buscemo's pencils, which, what a cool thing to put on your resume, my friend.
JeremyHOST
This is a set that has 110 cards across Autobot and Decepticon foil packs.
JeremyHOST
It says they have solid gold and silver metal cards, micro-etched metal cards, and cards personally signed by Bob Budiansky, Simon Furman, Ralph Macchio, and Jim Salicrup, who are the Marvel Comics writers and editors on the very early parts of the – I guess not very early, but – all the Marvel comics run.
JeremyHOST
Um, this has, uh, 24 packs per box, five cards per pack, 110 metal foil base cards that are in both packs, 41 of one cards, each globally unique, uh, 18 solid metal cards, nine gold, nine silver, uh, eight micro-etched metal cards with a premium finish, 16 creator-signed cards from Marvel Comics writers, and then signed and numbered parallel cards.
JeremyHOST
So this has the collector box listed for about $145, somewhere around there.
DarrylHOST
This seems like the exact same thing they already did.
DarrylHOST
But now it's like, oh, now we're making metal ones.
DarrylHOST
And when I talked to Bob Budiansky about this, because we interviewed him on the show about it, and then I had a chance to talk to him at a convention, he did not have the nicest things to say about the process with working with dynamite.
DarrylHOST
He was very upset.

Phil PerichHOST
royalties.
Phil PerichHOST
I think they said he sat down for a weekend.
Phil PerichHOST
He came up with names for these characters and all the stats.
Phil PerichHOST
When you bought the toys back in the day, they had those stats.
Phil PerichHOST
They said Bob Budiansky came up with all those.
Justin OsgoodPANELIST
wow i used to love those because you could put the the red the red thing over it you couldn't read it unless you

And the others, tuxedo and gadgets turn your car into a submarine cool.
speaker_0HOST
A contrast that you'd think would serve as a springboard for writer Bob Budiansky to build two distinct personalities for the Battle Chargers.
speaker_0HOST
Maybe run amok as an uncouth, rough-around-the-edges bruiser, and runabout as a cold, sophisticated, aristocratic snob.
speaker_0HOST
Give it a whole odd couple dynamic.

speaker_0HOST
Every decent fictional universe definitely needs its traditional archetypes.
speaker_0HOST
The noble leader, the power-hungry tyrant, the old fart, the underdog, the traitor, and so on, to tell its story.
speaker_0HOST
With that being said, why can't there be room for a couple of just basic regular Joe schmoes too? Because Runamuck and Runabout, and the characters Bob Budiansky cooked up for them, were never given grand arcs, redemption stories, or master plans.
speaker_0HOST
No secret ambitions, no hidden depth waiting to be unlocked.
Andy DecadeHOST
Well, we'll see.
Andy DecadeHOST
Micro-etched metal cards and cards personally signed by Bob Budiansky, Simon Furman, Ralph Macchio, and Jim Salicurp, the Marvel comic writers and editors who defined the Transformers mythology for a generation.
Andy DecadeHOST
So, what's included? 24 packs per box, 5 cards per pack, 5 cards per pack, god damn.
Andy DecadeHOST
110 metal foil cards across both foil packs, 41 on 1, 41 on 1 cards, each globally unique.
Paul O'BrienHOST
Uh, wow.
Paul O'BrienHOST
Dragon Rider, who is a, um, J.M. DeMatteis and Bob Budiansky character from-
Al KennedyHOST
Yeah, from the 1984 mini.
