With @tfnationltd.bsky.social fast approaching, I wanted to share a collection of personal essays about conventions and social anxiety I’ve written over the years. ➡️ thetfukguide.com/bring-it-con/

I always thought the French version of Transformers The Movie was just the Dubbed International version but I just found out that the intro featured the full title of La Guerre Des Robots before the Sunbow/Marvel logos🤯

We’re looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow in Glasgow! Who’s coming to say hi? tfnation.com/blog/th... #TFNation #Transformers

Ad for the IDW adaption of Transformers The Movie from the Sony 20th Anniversary DVD release pack in. As a Jazz fan I'm glad Ironhide was sent instead🏎️

The name Henshin Sentai Transformers even made it to early print material in Japan with several issues of Fun Kindergarden (Tanoshī yōchien) in early 1985 featuring the name and a few small manga before the name was changed to Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers.

40 years of Transformers The Movie on Home Media from all over the world📼📀💿📺 TFRaw.com youtu.be/RKV3c9eDGPQ?...

Checking through some 1984 commercials online tonight and I randomly found this nice copy of the G.I. Joe Marvel Comics Issue 1 commercial🫡

I'm currently working on a video gallery with images of all the home media releases of Transformers The Movie that I can find for the 40th Anniversary page. So far I've got images of releases from 22 countries. Looking for scans of the US Betamax tape if anyone has one?💿📼

Got a few Japanese Takara Toy Show pages from the G1 era in the collection that might make a good page to add to the site. Until that's sorted check out these promo images for the Scramble City line from the 1986 pages.

While not too clear this image from Toy Journal in 1985 shows the first Tokyo Toy Show appearance showcasing the figures coming that summer and a selection of the second wave characters like Blaster.

"Our Magic is Marvel-ous!" - 1987 Trade Ad for Marvel Productions. I remember about half of these but I'm in the UK and we didn't get all the cartoons back then.

I've shown these Takara Toy Show catalogue pages before but now it looks in early 1985 the line was moving closer to Transformers but still had the Henshin Sentai Transformers name and by the summer 1985 Toy show its branding and toy selection was ready.🤔

New Music Video for the release of THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE: THE SOUNDTRACK – THE REFORMATTED EDITION coming on Vinyl and Streaming. Vinyl Images in the thread. 1/3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkCi...

1985 In Japan Henshin Sentai Transformers was the original plan for the next stage of the Diaclone and Microman toylines before evolving into The Transformers we know of today. Check out this small translated section about it from the Laserdisc booklet. #Transformers

Working on a new section of the site for the 40th Anniversary of Transformers The Movie to act as the Ultimate Special Features disk. Here's one of the new videos being created for this release which paid members on Patreon can get a early preview 1/2

My artwork for the next edition of my “Universe” ‘zine. (IYKYK!) I would really appreciate it if you shared it.

In the US Marvel were planning to make a storybook version of Transformers The Movie. The 1985 layout for the first part titled "The Last Battle" showed up in a comic auction site a few years ago but was already sold, luckily they scanned it for the auction 😁 1/3

I took photos of my entire collection of Transformers The Movie memorabilia and instead of just making a gallery I decided to make a video for the 40th Anniversary. TFRaw.com youtu.be/DHATjDGBS0Q

In 1986 the US TBS kids news program "Kids Beat" featured a short segment promoting the coming release of Transformers The Movie featuring a short segment with Robert Stack (Ultra Magnus) and John Moschitta (Blurr)

Super BomBom, July 1987 Transformers: Beastformers Volume, by Ikuo Miyazoe English translation 1/5 This is the one you wanted to read, right?

I've still got to sort DDL versions of the Broadcast version of the G1 episodes but in the mean time you can now find links to the youtube versions of all 98 episodes and more on the website www.tfraw.com/2026/04/tran...

Transformers Season 3 Opening Titles youtu.be/CS4i093dfK0?... via @YouTube

Bin a while since I've shown some Transformers concept art so here's a couple of pieces for the leader of the Decepticons, Megatron🔫 TFRaw.com

I just had a thought, Could I create a NTSC version of the 2000s Transformers Robots in Disguise series using the NTSC Car Robots episodes for the video and the UK DVD release for the audio? 🤔 I'm needing a new project now that the G1 Broadcast edits are done.

And with the final 2 episodes complete that's all 98 episodes of the original Broadcast version of the G1 Transformers on the YouTube channel along with 6 bonus alternate audio versions. TFRaw.com 1/3 youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Anyway.. here’s some more old-ass Armada stuff😜

The latest episode of season 2, Enter the Nightbird leaves only 2 episodes left to complete the Broadcast versions of G1 on the YouTube channel😁🥷

The Broadcast version of the G1 episode "The Master Builders" is now available on the YouTube channel. Only 3 left to go to complete collection📼💿😁 youtube.com/watch?v=0MepePkv4zo

One of my favourite series, Transformers Super-God Masterforce broadcasted it's first episode on this day in 1988. I was lucky to get the first episode on a 16mm film reel and got it captured for all to see in 4K with English subs a few years ago🎞️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrPV...

I missed one of the photos of Robert Stack at the Transformers The Movie Premiere in 1986📷🎞️

I have an magazine advert for this 1988 Transformers competition on the site but I never thought I'd see the kid getting the Dad and Son truck set🛻

I'm on a roll tonight check out this awesome 1985 G1 Brazilian Transformers T-shirt commercial I just found👀😁

Check out this trade advert for the Beast Wars Transformers Playstation/PC game from 1997. The game was awful but that Primal art is pretty sweet🎮💿

Got some new colour images of the Transformers The Movie Premiere featuring Robert Stack hanging out with the Jazz and Thundercraker suits📸

Managed to pick up a copy of the US G1 Vol 5 VHS today so now along with 2 more episodes of S2 I have added the final episode of season 3 to complete Broadcast versions of season 1,3 and 4😁only 5 episodes to go to complete the collection📼 youtu.be/hgY8gq4NsO8

SAVE THE DATE This is no April Fools! TFN:Mini-Con Reading is transforming into TFN:Swindon - coming to you on 21st November 2026. Venue announcement and guest details to follow! #TFNation #Transformers #Swindon

Took ages but I finally crossed over the 20K subscribers on YouTube😀As a channel filled with 1000+ Transformers videos I'm happy with that considering It's not monetised. youtube.com/@walruslaw

Got some more official wallpapers to add to the archive today that were buried deep in a old flash site that for a long time would say file unavailable but now all of sudden work 🤪😁

3 more new episodes added to the playlist😁plus I added the Argentine DVD version of The Rebirth 3 parter to replace the final Laser Disc versions💿 Only 8 more to go to complete the whole collection. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I’m running out of ways to visually promote Generation Mechs, so here’s me right now working on the *next* book I’m accepting orders for GM until Sunday night. If you email me before then but end up placing an order on Monday or Tuesday, that’s fine. Details in pinned post

11 episodes to go till I have the full G1 broadcast set online and so far I only had to use Rhino footage for "Autobot Spike" Currently looking for a physical or Digital copy of the Volume 1 Rhino VHS to get footage for "City of Steel" to avoid using the Rhino footage again.😁

Ticket's booked, Hotel booked, all that's left is the Train. Looking forward to seeing everyone at @tfnationltd.bsky.social again😁

I had some time today so I did a little experiment with the isolated vocal track I have for the G1 episode Divide and Conquer and the broadcast video to see how it would work out🎵🎙️ youtu.be/KXFnkKEMivw?...

Check out this Mainframe press release I found celebrating the great ratings of the original airing of the Beast Wars Pilot Mini-series in April 1996. Hope we get something later in the years to celebrate its 30th Anniversary a bit more like a HD release.
