Bought on a whim but enjoying Armada Nemesis. Big chunky bastard with weapons bigger than his sodding torso.

Liking the new Sonar, Runway and Jetstorm too, and glad was forewarned of Jetstorm tail/chest piece issues. Put a bit of RC car shock oil in the hinge and loosened it up a good amount. No fear of breaking it.

I thought that Freakwency’s weapon was somehow a converted version of the 8-track/hawk accessory. It’s not. It transforms into a rubber chicken. Another franchise first. From: @TFW2005 https://mastodon.social/@TFW2005/115503379180848104 #transformers

Flawed? Yes. Improved dramatically by a shoulder upgrade kit? Yes. Still a fun toy? David Kaye "Yesssssssss."

"Mum can I get the Legacy Stunticons?" "We have Legacy Stunticons at home." The Legacy Stunticons at home.

I was feeling a bit down this morning, and then I remembered that I still had a few #Transformers I hadn't unpacked from TFCon. So here's my newest #deskbot: Cybertron Override GTS, sometimes known as Shattered Glass Elita-One (!), and who I'm regarding as a […] [Original post on retro.pizza]

For me, yhe weirdest thing about being #autistic is how utterly *exhausting* it is to have an emotionally-loaded conversation with someone. Half an hour of listening to a loved one venting and I’m ready to lay down for the rest of the day.

Me, watching an old episode of “House” with my partner: “What? She has a PhD in #mathematics, of *course* she has a favorite constant.”

Me: I wonder if that superglue is still wet? *sticks my finger in it* Me: Yep, it’s still wet. Also, I still have poor impulse control. #AuDHD

We've really enjoyed Micronus Prime's unique unicycle mode, but hoped for more display options for it. So here's a kit to allow just that, and also add on more effect part possibilities to him! #3dprint files now up at www.patreon.com/posts/142650394!

My bots for October. Fave of the month goes to both Scorponok Flatline. What can I say? The Basic Bitch recolour of black and red always works for me. Whereas Scorponok was a gift and also just great fun.

Why don’t we spell it “vacwm”, anyway?

So now that I have Skywarp, what to do with Hotlink? To paraphrase Waspinator, I have planzzzzz.

NOBODY LIKES THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS.

new review is up for Kingdom Warpath, featuring the phrase "Odious Onomatopoeianiacs", I invented that by myself and am very proud of it 🥹 https://youtu.be/isn331yH_g4

Found some cassettes at TFCon. #TFCon #transformers

Straight from TFCon Chicago, it's Rosanna and Flip Sides! (aka Ocular Max Remix Melody and Harmony) These two ladies are obviously based on the Masterpiece-scale mold for Autobot cassettes Rewind and Eject, and transform from roughly six-inch robots (same as a […] [Original post on retro.pizza]

Let's welcome A-A-Tron, another pal of Bumblebee's from sub level-50! Though he only has his upper torso, both of A-A-Tron's arm can be rotated up and down, and his left hand also comes with elbow articulation. #3dprint files now up at www.patreon.com/posts/141886877!

He is quite a bit bigger than expected, which is awesome. #transformers #thatswhatshesaid

[Uspol] I miss the days when “United States” and “free speech” were practically synonymous. Feels like it was only last year. From: @GiftArticles https://tomkahe.com/@GiftArticles/115446406858433492

[Uspol] Amazing how Trump can find a $130-million-dollar gift for military families, but nothing for people who are merely poor. From: @chicagotribune https://flipboard.com/@chicagotribune/nation-world-boehccnpz/-/a-N_tIkaJwRN-QR9Ll9Ll2Tw%3Aa%3A56578555-%2F0

[Uspol, White House demolition] Is no one talking about the implicit misogyny of Trump replacing the East Wing, which housed the First Lady’s work offices, with a ballroom for his own self-indulgence? He’s basically saying that the president’s spouse has nothing important to do and never […]

I bought sooooo many #transformers today at #tfconchicago, but they were all worth it. At least half of them were new lady bots for that shelf, and would have gotten more if money were REALLY no object.

This is the line for #tfconchicago for people who ALREADY HAVE PASSES and are just waiting to get into the main floor. I should feel a lot colder waiting out here, but I’m full of pumpkin latte and cranberry muffin, so I’m okay for a bit.

Here we go… #tfconchicago

You can't really discuss GeneriCons without whatever seeker mould is doing the rounds. I stick to the main trio and the coneheas but stick daft colours or a weird camo pattern on and I'm there. Cloudcover isn't my fave repaint of that type but he hasn't discoloured in anyway so he wins by default.

Here’s everything I’ll be bringing to #tfconchicago to try and sell or trade. All new in box, all sealed except for the Centurion Drone which has an open box but everything’s tied down inside. Let me know if you’re interested in negotiating for for anything here. (Not separating multipacks, sorry.)

Ya can't have a Genericon week without the OG Vehicons from Beast Machines. Got an Deluxe Jetstorm, T30 Tank or and an RiD2001 repaint of BM Obsidian. Also randomSuper 7 Godzilla Minus One. Would love some new figs of the BM guys, especially Jetstorm and Strika. GIMME MECHA MUSCLE MOMMY HASBRO!

Got my shirts ready for #tfcon this weekend. #transformers

Literally every single time I see a social media post demanding “Why aren’t major news outlets reporting on this?!” it turns out that they’re still collecting information and verifying facts, and the reporting does in fact get published a few hours later. Good journalism takes time, people.

OH SHIT Challenge of the GoBots is now on Tubi! It’s the ridiculously good-looking remaster! YT-DLP WORKS WITH TUBI! I’ma buy it on Blu-ray the moment they let me but this will work in the meantime. #gobots #transformers #80s #cartoons

Just finished watching “The Substance” (Demi Moore et.al.) as part of my seasonal “I miss horror movies” phase, and… wow. Every time I think they can’t do anything new with horror movies, we get something like this. Anyway, I am really feeling my age now. And no spoilers, but I don’t think I’ll […]

I just spent $125 for a plumber to tell me the flashing red display on my high-efficiency water heater was not, as I feared, a critical equipment error, but just meant that I needed to manually set the clock after a power outage. In case you’re wondering how the current state of technology is […]

I herby declare this week Gericon week! Celebrating all the army builders. First Up Brunt and Centurion Droid, who I have christened "Grunt." I love a good generic boy and this mould ticks all my boxes.

Thinking about “Moonlighting” and “Remington Steele” today — two 1980s romcom detective shows both founded on the premise that a white man can get away with running nearly any business into the ground as long as he has a roguish smile and a quick lie for any occasion — and realizing these shows […]

Posting a few photos of #Transformers Age of the Primes Venin (nee G1 Venom) today. I’ve been looking forward to this figure to complete my insecticon squad, but I was rather disappointed. The plastic on the arms and legs feels thin; the legs are hard to […] [Original post on retro.pizza]

"I've found you, faker!" "Sir, this is a Wendy's."

It's International Smug Self-Hosters Day! Best wishes to all who celebrate.

When you go to tomorrow's protests, make sure your phones are either off or on airplane mode. ICE and police use fake cell towers to figure out who's protesting. https://www.forbes.com/sites/the-wiretap/2025/09/09/how-ice-is-using-fake-cell-towers-to-spy-on-peoples-phones/ #nokings […]

Right out of the pages of the beloved Skybound comics - here's the Autobot troops transport pod which was attached underneath Jetfire! #3dprint files now up at www.patreon.com/posts/141262655!
