Ahh Calvin Johnson, the star of the Detroit Lions. Ever wonder how you could become Megatron and the hero of your football team? Well all you need to do is drop $550 for a set of shoes (oh oh and a bonus toy!) See what the twincast thinks and see if this will be making it into your collection.

In this episode we take a few listener questions about the total number of people that could be in the fandom worldwide to the most epic question of the night, is awesomesauce and man-gravy the same thing!?! The world may never know... (thanks mooncake623 and Kibble!).

Tech and stuff website Gizmodo has posted a tidbit of fun news concerning a Chinese Transformers fan. Can Transformers be a sign of love? Keep on reading below to find out about his giant Optimus Prime replica for a proposal, or head here for the original news!

You know how when a guy courts a girl, sometimes the right move is a grand gesture? A bouquet of flowers to say you're sorry. A surprise weekend getaway to mark an anniversary. How about a giant Transformers replica to pop the question?

That's what this guy did. According to Chinese news site Jinyang, he constructed this three-story-tall model of Optimus Prime over the course of 10 months to impress his girlfriend enough that she'd say yes. The superheroic machine took 400 drawings, 40,000 rivets and nearly $10,000 worth of stainless steel and iron. But boy does it look badass.
