Blessed week to have the truly wonderful Malcolm Garrett, one of THE graphic designers who inspired me to be a designer, come to talk to my students. (And sign my records) ❤️

My wife came through. Christmas isn’t Christmas without a Transformer. ❤️ I couldn’t resist the same for my youngest.

A beast! Local farm shop did good! £2:30. Shop local. 👌

There’s nowhere big enough other than a desk for this KO beast. Ridiculous fun.

Never had the Aerialbots as a kid. It’s taken me decades of searching to find tight, bright, complete loose Aerialbots to make a Superion. I’m nearly there, and I have one missing piece.

Facebook has reminded me that it’s been 8 years since I got my collection out of storage containers for the first time. Which, back then was probably stored in lofts for a decade at least.

A Seacon coloured Dreadwind bootleg? Yeah I’ll take that.

What did I pick up this week for less money than a pre-packed sandwich? A complete boxed Ultra Magnus. Bargains still out there. 🤩

Little skinny bit of wall is just the right size for some sealed RID.

I think this was a gift from Xmas 1985; present from my Auntie Lesley. I was addicted to this thing. Still works, and yes, I kept the packaging. ❤️

A bit squashed, and all fallen apart a bit, but the last Transformers Ladybird Tell-a-Tale I got. 1986. Another loft discovery.

And the G2 Gobots are up too ❤️

Recent G2 attic find now up in the office. ❤️

I’ve had some fun digging in the loft.

Found this the other day

Been a while since this t shirt has been out.

I’m so proud. She followed my instructions and transformed them all herself. No heart in mouth at all with 38 year old plastic 🫣

G1 Mass shifting. Octane turns from tanker truck to jet, to robot and back.

Because I was busy getting a tan and couldn’t go to TFNation this year, I got dealer hall fomo so bought this guy to cheer me up.

Holidays are the best excuse to wear my exuberant shirts.

M.A.S.K repaints sponsored by JPS. If this isn’t the best jacket, I don’t know what is.

Great getting out camping in my other passion; vintage VW’s

Farrah’s first camping.

The Autobot gumshoe. Simon Furman played this character so right. Well done that man. ❤️ the way he took the arse end of characters and elevated them to premium status was a gift to Hasbro.

Slinger of the slugs. Happy Friday. £9.99 in John Lewis.

Rotating the cars tonight. 1984 Trailbreaker, 1985 Smokescreen, and 1984 Sideswipe for… 1983 Diaclone ‘J59’ Hound, 1984 pre-rub Wheeljack and 1985 Skids.

Swapping in a Nightbeat on the shelf rotation tonight.

Clearly took him in for a school day judging by the name on the back. 😎

A hot day is the perfect day for waxing the beast. Choices Alex, choices. 🥵mind you, satisfaction, guaranteed. Better start using it more now it’s a drought. 80s gas guzzler ☀️ not perfect, but not bad for 37.

If you want a peak into my ramshackle G1 collection, I did a thing.

Sifting through some old tat I found the janky ko of Raiden. I remember early 2000s these were in loads of pound shops where I got this. He’s rubbish and fistless, but quite handsome.

Not posted in a while so saving a special one! Been in stasis for a long time. You’re dusty but not binned yet 🤭

Yes, I know it’s a KO. But I was curious for £60. It’s actually better than Destroy Monarch. 😂

Been after a minty and complete one of these for ages. Now I have one.

Happy new year from the Taylor’s.

Christmas 36 years ago, this was my haul.

In my opinion, one of the surprises of the 40th anniversary of The Transformers line this year. Lovingly gifted this Christmas by my lovely wife. ❤️

Brassica time.

I’m not apologising. This KO Dinobot combiner thing is the most fun little figure I’ve got all year.

Throw back to 7 years ago, when I got this lot out of storage for the first time since about 2003.

Little trip down to the new Transformers store opening. Great to meet some amazing people.

July 1987. One of the best.

The detective. What a great German car.

What an upgrade.

Throwback to 2017 when I first got this out of storage. #transformersG1

It’s like when I joined Twitter for first time. I am about to communicate to no one.
