Thrilled to have End of the Earth and All Will Be One from @wadapan.bsky.social along with this lovely mosaic from @jalaguy.bsky.social!

imagine if they'd used these logos in 2012. That would've been so swag

sometimes I think the Bionicle fandom doesn't know how good they've got it. Like it's dead isn't it! It's not bothering you. All fanworks all the time babey

whenever I see a sales post that's like "legacy bludgeon never transformed" I fully just assume they're lying. I cannot imagine not transforming the transformer. get out of here with these baby shoes ass listings

reread Murder Falcon on the train today and fully just wept through it

My TFN video is now out there, sorry that the moment's passed! youtu.be/hPycNyKG6r4?...

It's weird, because you'd think that comprehensive knowledge would imply expertise but apart from a few videos (like BDG or Rogers) it's more a performance of *anti-expertise* - that a Lay Man has been exposed to this critical mass of Information and Experience they can't comprehend, only ever relay

with big projects, I have what I call the "rainforest cafe guy" litmus test, which means I ask myself: am I eating at every Rainforest Cafe in the Country or do I have an actual point to make

been working on a post that's going to set off a truly Ungodly number of Google Alerts or whatever and I genuinely have no idea what to expect. Will they come for me with sticks?

rewatched a couple of entries in the rich canon of "cool white guy travels the world shooting people" movies! First up, it's Skyfall, which I watched in a grim crumbling empty property in the Scottish Highlands! letterboxd.com/wadapan/film...

done my civic duty by filling out the TFN feedback survey. Used the "panels" question to talk about the cosplay contest being a bit rushed, the quiz being a bit rubbish, and script readings in general. Used the "merch" question to pitch 'em on ideas for TFN-exclusive fiction, which I'd love to see!

thread of Cyberverse concept art and the exact google images they were based on Sharkticon - preliminary character model Perceptor - fan-coloring of Guido Guidi's IDW character model, by VaderPrime1 www.deviantart.com/vaderprime1/...

took a while, but here's my con report from this year's TFN! Sorry for any egregious omissions, by the time I started writing it things had become a bit of blur. Thank you all for making it such a wonderful weekend! thewadapan.tumblr.com/post/7923305...

said it before but there is such a gap in the Reprolabel market for someone to make a sticker sheet to cover an entire toyline in one go, purely to address "missing" paint applications that are obviously intended on the sculpts. Headlights, yellow license plates, deco on unpaintable plastic

oooh, just found out some information about the transforming egg-dinos I gave to @toyfu332.bsky.social at the convention—they're knockoffs of Bandai''s Tamagoras ("Egg Monsters"), a line which also included lots of Godzilla kaiju, (unlicensed) Universal Monsters and insects

finally got nice pictures of this guy up on @tfwiki.net. Was undecided on whether to give the "bird" and "turtle" their own pages. Argument against: that awful cartoon episode really does NOT treat them as their own guys. Argument for: it would be funny :) tfwiki.net/wiki/Hauler-...

my lil bro has started an art blog where you can send him requests! He's really good! If you ask him for something cool he'll draw it for you! www.tumblr.com/freecommissi...

oh yeah for YEARS now there's been this one stall that I frequent with round green price stickers, and I've never found out the name of it until this year... it's Toyformers! They said I should email them after the con about something but I lost their business card—anyone know their email?

straight down da middle! Kind of a close thing though? I'm glad that I mostly avoided the Bad Squares. Would have LOVED to get a Devastation Optimus Prime. Would have LOVED to see cosplayers for any of these toys. Was too busy drawing other people's toys to draw my own! Please ignore my Forge Shame

finally back home after TFNation 2025! This year was incredible. In terms of big hangs, it might've been the biggest hangs yet for me. Will talk more about that in the ol' con report, which I'll post on tumblr once it's written, but for now here's wot I got!

this is my remaining stock of free zines at TFN 2025! If you know/meet anyone who'd like to read "transformers fiction if it was good", please point them my way. If I've missed you let me know! I really want these all gone!

Do you wish to partake of Snake Eyes Zine? It’s alarmingly possible. Drop by the table shaped like a guitar pick at the back of the bar why don’t you! (we’ll be around on Sunday too!)

don't suppose any of yous heading to TFN fancy a free copy of Axiom's End by Lindsay Ellis? I switched to the hardback so now have a spare paperback. It was a big influence on End of the Earth, I really recommend it!

made a bingo card for the TFN dealer room this year! You can stick photos over the squares to fill it in :)

Do we think the Hilton breakfast buffet will have Monster Energy DLC again this year?

hey, so today Chapter 8 of END OF THE EARTH is out on Royal Road! It's the one where things Kick Off. so far the story's doing very poorly on RR, so if you have time to leave a review, it might help get some eyes on the story going into this next run of chapters! www.royalroad.com/fiction/1269...

got my vittles

I'm getting in on TFN Zine Madness! I've got a stack of A5 postcard prints of my Mosaic-inspired comic to hand out, with director's commentary included on the back for bonus Wadapoints.

the zines are here!!!!! they have come out looking epic! this year I will be giving out no less than 6 different publications, because I literally cannot be stopped. Come find me at TFNation this weekend!

Guys, I was just messing around with one of my figures and this happened? He turned into a car! This seems like a pretty big deal. Can all Transformers do this?

And now we’re in BUSINESS.

Why, it's a Year of the Snake(Eyes) miracle! We'll be giving out 100(!) free copies of THE premier zine on redrawing Snake Eyes from GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra (2009) this TFN. #SnakeEyesWideShut

a couple of years ago I bought a tshirt on Depop like "oh this'll be nice to wear to TFN" only for the seller to completely ghost me. Like a month ago I saw the same t-shirt come up, bought it, and had the exact same thing happen lmao

It's TFNation next weekend, and both your hosts will be there! Yes, we're still alive. We might even put out an episode this year.

like, optimus' trailer works well to symbolise the burden he takes on as leader. he has to carry around this massive box that benefits his friends more than it does him. nemesis, then, strips away that function and burden, an unhindered jet-black mockery of the principles optimus strives to uphold

just 24 hours left to get your requests in for these zines at TFN 2025! If you know anyone you think would enjoy any of them, please do share this thread with them so they don't miss out :)

It's here! The #Bionicle zine I started working on in 2023! And what's more, after all my years of zine making I've finally cracked the Feels Like A Comic Book equation! Glossy print! Floppy pages! If you want one and you're at TFNation (when it's 810) let me know! I have 20 copies!

I've been watching the milquetoast Paramount Star Trek movies over the last few weeks and I'd be lying if I said I haven't started jonesing for the GI Joe films. Lord help me

going to be trying something new with this one and crossposting End of the Earth to Royal Road in serialised form, one chapter a day until it completes! Royal Road's audience is famously insane so I look forward to my 1-star rite-of-passage www.royalroad.com/fiction/1269...

it’s finally happening, folks. This TFN, you can be the owner of your very own (free!) copy of the best zine dedicated to redrawing Snake Eyes from the hit film GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra (2009), “EYES WIDE SHUT, LIPS WIDE KISSABLE”! Available all TFN weekend while stocks last! #SnakeEyesWideShut

so far we're at at 7 copies each of the novella and the handbook! We can do better than that! I imagine stock might be limited of the handbook, so if you want to guarantee a copy, drop a reply in the thread!

Featuring tales of derring do, grand contests, love and loss and mysterious visitors... It’s all here, it’s all great, and a limited supply will be available at TFN. Please find me and come pick one up if you’re interested, or DM me on Discord to reserve a copy!

TFN 2025 zine hunters should also ask for a copy of Jerdley's Thirteen zine, a collection of fables from Cybertron's earliest days! This is probably the closest thing Age of the Primes will ever have to tie-in fiction, if you don't count Earth Wars. Certified wadapan seal of approval

are you going to TFNation 2025? Would you like a free zine? How about four of them? G1 SOURCEBOOK—80s profile handbook END OF THE EARTH—novella WHEELIE: SPOTLIGHTS—minicomic DENDROCHRONOLGY—anthology Reply to this thread before August 1st to reserve a copy! More details below, but free means free!

Corey’s truck is in the driveway. Which is weird, because when he last saw it, it was at the bottom of a frozen lake. My first novella, a TRANSFORMERS story set on the ice roads of Canada, is now available to read! archiveofourown.org/works/68305676 Free print copies will be available at TFNation!

@waspshot23.bsky.social I just bought us a game for when we get eepy sleepy on Friday

if you read my post-tfn blog post last year you might remember at the end of it I made a bunch of promises about things I was going to do to help myself enjoy tfn 2025. And it pains me to say I genuinely haven't stuck to any of them, and this year might be exactly the same

I only read the preview of Worst Bot Ever but I think me Not Laughing at it was related to how a ballpoint pen isn't a *device*, it's an entirely different class of object to anything else Transformers turn into, and a writer who doesn't seem to notice that is kind of just an alien to me...?

@chrismcfeely.bsky.social I just rewatched your old Art of Transformers miniseries, wanted to say how much I like it. Sunbow influence is huge in the brand rn—interrogating where the looks came from is super interesting. I know the series didn't perform all that well but would love to see it return!

starting to finally put the finishing touches on this, but I need to know who contributed these specific drawings If you can help, please do!!
