Order of Battle Podcast episode 122 During JoeFest, Jason sat down with Bob Brechin, lead designer at Palitoy from 12” Action Man all the way through Action Force. He is the Gripping Hand, Roboskull, Skeletron, TriadFighter and so very much more! Paddy Lennon and Brian Hickey joined the conversation making it a return of old friends with the addition of a new friend. The conversation was incredible as it floated from 1919 all the way to the current day. JoeFest was incredible and this made it doubly so.

Vince knows everyone in issue 4 of Titan Comics' Robotech: Rick Hunter mini-series. Zeraal's fully dedicated to the cause, Rick's new jet defies all notions of physics and Friend-Rolf takes his lunch break to help the team.
We pay tribute to voice actor Greg Finley (Gloval, Leonard) before discussing issue 3 of Titan Comics' Robotech: Rick Hunter mini-series. Gloval appears and thus the issue is a 10/10, we learn the origin of the upside down Minmei poster, and was Vince the Robotech narrator all along?
I love supporting Kickstarters because they are really a day-at-a-time kind of thing. The latest Roboskull update shows how amazing this thing is going to be. Hasbro keeps finding a way to get more money from their molds while enticing us with one new thing. I'm still excited about their possible new Transformers Selects multi-pack. When there's no great toy news, I'll take some media news any day. The latest Masters of Universe Revolution trailer is great, especially its background music. And, while it is probably late to take advantage of the original fan fair, I still welcome a Mando movie.
Way back in 2018 Shamus attended ProtocultureCon and recorded the Q/A panel with Rebecca Forstadt (Minmei.) She spoke about the song she auditioned with, how she also doesn't like "My Time to Be a Star," and more. Nick and Shamus also discuss 2024 news and explain why it took so long to release this audio.
Rick talks with Gloval and that's all we need to know in issue 2 of Titan Comics' Robotech: Rick Hunter mini-series. Gloval has a wife (that isn't Pipey?!), Rick hits the tiger jackpot, and Vince unsuccessfully attempts to eat a steak.
Rick needs a LOT of arrow diagrams in issue 1 of Titan Comics' Robotech: Rick Hunter mini-series. Rick can't remember names, we need to know who this new Khyron-loving Zentraedi is, and Corrective Lenses Mitch has a family member?!
Order of Battle Podcast episode 89 What an honor to be joined by Brian Hickey in this great conversation about one of the Forefathers of GIJoe Adventure Team, Action Man, Action Force, and more. Jason and Brian sit down to discuss the ongoing Kickstarter campaign, My Palitoy Story. Bob Brechin, the designer of Kung-Fu Grip and the Roboskull, has spent a decade documenting not only his own path through Palitoy and toy design, but Palitoy as a whole from 1919 to the shutting of the doors. Brian is a phenomenal photographer, designer, toy collector, and one half of the Total Action Force, Total HACKS, Total Roboskull team. He's a great collector and creative to spend time and drink with. His enthusiasm is infectious and his skills are impressive. And now he has bent them to helping Bob bring this Palitoy history and story to life. If you have one of the Total books you already know this is going to be gorgeous. If you don't, now is your time to jump in. If you love Palitoy, Hasbro, GIJoe, or general toy history, then now is your time to back this book. Do it now before you miss out!

I think it's time to be thankful for 3rd Parties (i.e. non-big 4 companies) as we continue to get amazing stuff from these smaller guys. Especially the Marauder complimented Roboskull Kickstarter. This campaign unlocked some amazing stretch goals. Even though I'm not usually into throwback 5.5 stuff, the new Lords of Power line definitely caught my attention. While not a direct connection to Star Wars, I think we're lucky to be getting a second wave of Silverhawks so fast. Even if includes a $40 chair. Finally, just some good ole' fashion Transformers 3rd Party goodness. Always love me some G2 Bruticus action.

Ian Kennedy & Art of Roboskull Mk II Video available on Youtube: https://youtu.be/g437FURWKVc Mark's worlds collided when his pal Ian Kennedy was commissioned to paint the illustration for the box art for the new a toy that reinvents the classic Roboskull - the iconic Red Shadow vehicle from his favourite toy line and comic! So of course he had to record a show about it. Mark catches up with Head Skeletron Ben Conway, the evil genius behind the Roboskull MkII kickstarter, and British comic art legend Ian Kennedy to discuss the Roboskull Box art. We hear a little about Ian's career in comics and techniques as we explore the process from initial pitch, through rough sketches to the finished piece, with some exclusive behind the scenes prelim designs revealed along the way. Ben also springs a new request on Ian for the project! As a bonus, we also look at some of Ian's other recent Action Force inspired commissions.

Lancer was the narrator all along in Robotech: Love Live Alive. Big Lancer Energy is in full effect, Rick starts a Twitch channel, and we give our thoughts on the entire Robotech saga! It's been a blast covering this show and we'll be back whenever Remix returns or some other big Robotech news hits.
Our man Louie is back with 100% more cape in Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles. We want more Maia in this movie, Rick pops a wheelie with a horse, and we talk about Robotech 3000!
Dr. Lang is suddenly a main character in Robotech II: The Sentinels. Lisa is finally feeling herself, Rick REALLY wants Ben to still be alive, and there's someone they call Miriya here but we don't know why.
Even with all the Southern Cross footage we actually dug Robotech: The Movie! Edwards can call the Robotech Masters on the phone, Leonard and Emerson are our FAVORITE CHARACTERS, and we get into a very deep discussion about what makes this movie unique and special in the Robotech franchise. Trigger warning for a discussion of attempted sexual assault.
We are excited to have Shamus back on the podcast with us to review the first 2 episodes of the Voltron that never was - Lightspeed Electroid Albegas. We catch up with Shamus, review both episodes, and then go into great detail about how the producers could have adapted the show to become part of the original idea of a Voltron trilogy.Shamus is a TV Writer, a writer for Den of Geek, and host of the RoboSkull Podcast, which covers everything special to fans of the Robotech franchise. You can follow Shamus on Twitter here: @RiderJetfireYou can listen to the RoboSkull podcast here:http://roboskullcast.libsyn.com/And here is Shamus' Den of Geek article on Albegas coming to YouTube:https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/watch-the-voltron-series-that-never-was/If you would like to watch these two episodes on the Toei Tokusatsu YouTube Channel, you can go here:Toei Tokusatsu YouTube ChannelWe really enjoyed imagining "what might have been" if Lightspeed Electroid Albegas had actually become Voltron from the middle universe in a Voltron trilogy. We'd love to hear your thoughts as well. Feel free to write us at our email address: letsvoltronpodcast@gmail.comHopefully, Toei Tokusatsu will post the rest of the series, and having English subtitles would be a huge plus! We'll keep an eye out for them.In the meantime, here are some screenshots from the 2 episodes we reviewed, Heroes of AOBA Academy and Fight Albegas:As always, Thanks for listening! Let's Voltron!!
Annie has the greatest moment of character growth on episode 85 of Robotech, Symphony of Light. The Invid get lots of exposition, Scott doesn't remember Lunk, and we give our thoughts on the whole New Gen saga!
Rick Hunter is TOTALLY GONNA BE HERE GUYS, WE SWEAR, on episode 84 of Robotech, Dark Finale. Lunk surprisingly gets some good moments, Annie drives Jeep Jeep, and we discover the true mastermind behind Jerk Hunter.
Sue Graham is suddenly a very important character on episode 83 of Robotech, Reflex Point. We deeply analyze Sue's photos, Scott is really all about honoring EVERY SOLDIER, and Rick Hunter is a freak.
Rand and Annie become the ultimate pitch people on episode 82 of Robotech, The Big Apple. Scott still can't figure out Marlene is an Invid, Lunk gets to pilot a mecha, and we read selections from the New Gen novels.
There's a lot of DUST in the AIR in episode 81 of Robotech, Hired Gun. We believe Dusty Ayres is Sean, Rook FINALLY gets another focus episode, and we read the New Gen bios from Robotech Art 1!
Annie has a really sad backstory (that we talk A LOT about) in episode 80 of Robotech, Birthday Blues. Annie touches our hearts, Corg turns up the Zor Prime, and the Invid go to school.
Scott has a lot of trouble zipping up a dress in episode 79 of Robotech, Frostbite. Lancer and Lunk should be friends, Annie LOVES peppermint, and Minmei is back.
Lancer can't keep up the Big Lancer Energy in episode 78 of Robotech, Ghost Town. Admiral Rick Hunter gets named dropped, Annie is twelve, and we learn a lot about the state of Earth in New Gen.
We get some incredible insight into Dana's backstory in issue #4 of Titan Comics' Robotech: Remix series. Bowie commits murder(?), Dana goes full rabbit technology, and Nick reacts to having a column in this issue!
There's an extremely elaborate plan in episode 77 of Robotech, The Midnight Sun. Lancer continues to have an intriguing past, Annie is still the best, and all the aliens really need to work on their weakness to emotions.
Louie makes a very important life discovery in issue 3 of Titan Comics' Robotech: Remix series. Cam and Bowie are meant for each other, Rick is a lizard, and Dana doesn't understand anime hair.
We are joined by Arune Singh (Boom Studios VP, Marketing) to discuss Big Lancer Energy in episode 76 of Robotech, Metamorphosis. Most of the New Gen cast want to sleep with each other, Lancer continues to be beyond gorgeous, and Arune discusses his history as a Robotech fan which leads everyone to discuss fandom in general. Trigger warning for this episode for mentions of suicide.
Boy Nova is canon in issue 2 of Titan Comics' Robotech: Remix series. Miriya references some deep-cut Zentradi lore, the kids are the best, and Sammie is a giant. Bless this comic.
The entire budget was spent on the transformation sequence in episode 75 of Robotech, Separate Ways. Scott still isn't the main character, Lunk loves his Jeep Jeep, and Rand listens to Rick Hunter's tapes. We also briefly discuss the Solar Flare Games board games and the PS2 video games!
Dana is finally the star after so long in issue 1 of Titan Comics' Robotech: Remix series! Louie is 100% gamer trash, Bowie's Minmei pajama's are adorable, and Cam has the best glasses.
We are joined by Brenden Fletcher, writer on the upcoming Titan Comics' Robotech: Remix series. Brenden talks his history as a hardcore Robotech fan, the 'Curtain Call' story, and some MAJOR hints at what's to come. Don't forget to pick up Robotech: Remix #1!
We are joined by Simon Furman, writer on Titan Comics' Robotech series! Simon discusses how he got the job, his history with Robotech, the references, the changes to Lisa, the creation of Persy, Event Horizon, and much much more!
It's the end of Event Horizon in issue 24 of Titan Comics' Robotech series. Rick has no idea what marriage is, Khyron finishes the series out with fabulous hair, and Gloval is reunited with his one true love.
Annie is the Robotech narrator we all need in episode 74 of Robotech, Annie's Wedding. Scott has way too much confidence in rafts, the Invid get a new form, and Lancer is beyond flawless, gorgeous, and immaculate.
Dana talks to Persy and it's amazing in issue 23 of Titan Comics' Robotech series. Even in the future Rick is an idiot, Dana has a bad memory, and Max is in full Cam Clarke mode.
