Toyfair went down this weekend and some new Age of the Primes figures have been revealed and on of them is the new Space Chicken Onyx Prime.
Some big ups and downs Andy and Big D talk about the Transformers Animated toy line. Which were the winners and losers of the line?
Time to pick up where we left off with the Universe and Generations line and to join Andy Big D comes back once more.
Clavius. The very mention of this vast lunar crater brings to mind spectacular images from "2001: A Space Odyssey"— landing spacecraft, alien monoliths, and more. But more immediately, Clavius may be the ideal place to build our first lunar base, and Dr. Pascal Lee rejoins us to explain why. Notably, Clavius is not on NASA's dance card as a first-sitting consideration, but Lee thinks it should be, for many reasons, including interesting lunar geology, possible sites for permanent settlements—including lava tubes, excellent prospects for transportation infrastructure, and much more.

In this mind-bending installment, hosts Jaysin and John strap on their astro-chaps to blast off toward the newly discovered Marmoset Moon Base—a hidden lunar colony run by multilingual primates with a flair for interpretive jazz tap. Upon arrival, they discover the Marmosets are embroiled in a heated turf war with a clandestine order of mozzarella monks, all vying for a revered cosmic artifact: The Nacho Oracle, said to bestow infinite knowledge on anyone who can read the cheese crystals without dissolving into a fountain of jalapeño tears. While Jaysin attempts to prove his worthiness by reciting haiku in the Marmoset Queen's personal yodeling chamber, John embarks on a daredevil cheese-scrying quest in the subterranean catacombs, where bell-bottomed salamanders whisper cryptic marketing tips for interstellar caravans. Together, they'll face off against robotic rodents that fuel their pogo sticks with liquid guacamole, forging alliances and uncovering the spicy secrets that unite the cosmic dairy realms. Will Jaysin's poetic yodeling skills impress the Marmosets enough to gain access to the Nacho Oracle's gooey wisdom? Can John survive the jalapeño tears that threaten to turn him into a human quesadilla? Tune in for an out-of-this-world blend of lunacy, lactose, and leaps of faith as Jaysin and John attempt to bring peace (and the perfect topping ratio) to the Marmoset Moon Base.
