Update: just finished Kamen Rider Zero-One! Well, the show anyway, I think there’s…two(?) movies I haven’t seen. Loved both the action and the characters; Jin and Fuwa were especially great.

It is SO satisfying that there are enough Energy Beasts with black accents to kit out Nemesis Prime with every element like this. It’s pretty much my ideal take on a combiner color scheme.

Superstar racer Override 🏃‍♀️

Thinking about the leaked Leader Unicron Soldier…

What happened???

Hot stuff. #transformers #toyphotography #Energon-uary

Messed around with making a quadrupedal dragon mode for World Dragnus after realizing how modular he is. Almost makes me want to get another to see how far I can push it with a second set of parts.

Swapticons is cooking with the character choices. Never thought I'd see Backstop get a new toy, and double Double Punch is a sick choice.

Close enough!

Got an entire zoo in today!

Progress on my Megaman II GB Remake Experimenting with a new art style and megaman resprite (wip) #gamedev #megaman #gameboy

Been watching Kamen Rider Zero-One lately, and I can't believe the most intimidating villain is the one whose form is based on a dodo bird.

One shall fall. #Transformers

Double (Quadruple) Dragons Starring: Gaogaigar DX Hyoryu, Enryu, FuuRyu and Rairyu For 90s toys, alot of original Gaogaigar toys are still fantastic by modern day standards while retaining that nice chunky feel. The Symmetrical Docking mix and match combinations are especially fun. #Gaogaigar

Star Convoy Evolution Commissions for Havik the Thousand Faced Skull. My comms are open again, as always it helps me out a bunch! #Transformers #Art #Maccadam #Commission #OptimusPrime

Face reveal. Wrong answers only.

They fly now! They fly now? They fly now.

Almost all the Energon Basics are incredible, but Divebomb stands above them all.

I really need to get off my butt and finally watch some tokusatsu, because that is in fact the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

I‘m never sure if Galvatron is an official transformer, as he’s only sometimes cannon.

I’ve held off from getting into Wild King because I figured given I’d be importing it, and given the play pattern, I’d be tempted to impulse grab as much of the line as a could at once rather than doing things more sensibly. So anyway

Had Supreme Class on the mind lately, so I must once again proclaim the gospel of Omega Supreme. Headmaster? ✅ Duocon? ✅ Triple changer? ✅ Goofy combination? ✅ Omega Spreem reference? ✅ Fun gimmicks? ✅ Satisfying ratchets? ✅ What more could you want???

My favorite Transformers villain is fan perception that TF-enjoying should be about seeking a steady progression of increasingly complex and media-accurate longitudinal upgrades instead of just getting a bunch of fun dudes

Realized what would be a perfect little display for the cubby on my desk.

Genuinely a GOATed toy, one of my favorite Deluxes from any line.

Gonna tell my kids this was the Legacy United Autobots Stand 5 Pack

If you see this, post an Archer

I think my thing with complexity in transformation is just that I don't want it to feel more complex than it needs to. I really enjoy AMT-01 Rodimus, which is a full sit-down, and things like Reactivate Bee, Legacy Tigerhawk, etc. But I think the thing with all of them is that they don't...

"Phantom in the Night" Starring: Energon (Superlink) Starscream and the Omnicons During a time when we could still have clear plastic as a line wide gimmick without some buyer panic #Transformers

Just wrapped up the story! I knew most of the Dreamcast cutscene changes going in, but I got blindsided by one in particular: in certain scenes aboard the ARK, a transparent copy of a character's model is used to mimic reflections in the glass! A very nice detail that is totally absent in the ports.

"Shadow of Myself" Starring: Energon (Superlink) Starscream For a while, this was one of the definitive Starscream toy representations. 20 years later, it may no longer claim that title, but it still holds up in no small part because of its shared DNA with one of the best G2 toys. #Transformers

Aw man. I knew he was gonna be similar to 86 Hot Rod from the earlier promos, but even the same (but fewer) accessories? Please tell me Takara isn’t dropping the ‘taking inspiration from various different sources’ thing for Style Gen after a only single release.

Brought some banger blue bad boys to work today.

Back in the early 2000s, I loved that Transformers had a whole bunch of distinct eras and relished any of the little references to previous ones that popped up. That the last 10 years of Transformers have mostly been *exclusively* references to older stuff is more than a little sad.

Oh YES. Just got notified that update 1.5 for the Render Fix mod finally released… I think it’s time for another Sonic Adventure 2 playthrough.

They should be packaged in alt mode and all be designed alt mode first

“And we’re sure this is what Optimus meant by ‘team building exercise’?”

Got Battle Blade Bumblebee in my last haul of the year, and he’s kinda fantastic. The other movie Bees I’ve handled felt like they got in their own way, but BBB’s size and proportions give him room to breathe and make him quite fun to handle. Plus his shade of yellow is SO pretty.

And that’s not all! I had to make a second list for all the non-Transformers toys I got this year. Machine Robo Mugenbine really stole my heart, and diving into Brave for the first time (both vintage and Toyrise) was a treat.

Not gonna do a Top 10 since a few of these are arriving today, but here’s my list of every Transformer I got this year! It’s been a really fantastic year Transformers wise; I got back the few toys I had regretted selling, got several grails, and finally dived into movie toys at the last minute.

Loving the contrast between the best Swapticons beast pair and almost certainly the goofiest.

Having moved away from Generations a while ago, I haven’t bought toys in-person in a probably few years at this point. Getting into Swapticons has been such a breath of fresh air; being able to walk into a store and be excited about finding something is a feeling I didn’t know I missed.
