Really been enjoying Star Wars: Outlaws. Kay Vess is a fun protag, Nix is adorable and I love him, they got the feel of the universe just right (outside of too many aliens speaking English). People complain the enemy AI is dumb? That's okay. I'm dumb too and suck at stealth so it evens out!

I already shared my top 10 TFs on the podcast and I suspect I've picked the same as most others this year. So thinking I might do something different and do a top-10 non-TF figures instead.

Rewatching SuperLink (for reasons) and the generic sci-fi noise Signal Flare males here is so deeply rooted in my subconscious I immediately knew where I'd heard it before!

I currently have one Newage figure on the way from ShowZ and one from BombusBee. Both shipped roughly at the same time. IT'S A RACE.

The armature for Horus Versaulter Mk.II's radar dish kept coming apart. Turns out the smallest caps from these joints I bought many years ago were a perfect fit!

A good cleaning and a few drops of mineral oil has made this thing sound like it should!

Starscream voice: The Gävle straw goat has fallen! Now I, Starscream, am the leader of Sweden!

Got told off for not promoting my online shop! My two sketchbook “bibles” for Lost Light and Wreckers (and a bunch of other stuff) as well as Soft Steel, my snogging robots art book, are all available here: jacklawrence.myshopify.com

The slowest version of Nothing's Gonna Stand In Our Way you'll ever hear!

OH! Mum also got me this for Christmas. A proper vintage hi-fi setup! The record player just needs a bit of TLC as it made The Touch sound like a slow dance song instead when we tested it.

I was on the good list this year, it seems!

Merry Christmas, Bluesky peeps!

Turns out I had over 2k points at ShowZ? As if I needed any more incentives to order myself a Newage Soundwave! (Also grabbed their Shockwave over at BombusBee. Prime's getting friends!)

First episode of Metal Cardbot W (season 3) is live with English fansubs! That cliffhanger ending is cruel... cabalex.github.io/mcb-sub/?v=i...

The first ep of Metal Cardbot W is officially on Youtube! Now the wait for fansubs begins... youtu.be/igqcOBDjKYE?...

Pulse clearly was out of packing paper and decently sized boxes when they put my order together.

For some reason Scorponok's Cyber Bee cracks me up when filmed in slow-motion.

Diaclone Aggress Versaulter <Daedalus Unit> has been acquired. Also known as the "idiot mode" mech.

Hello! Sandybell - 1981 More or less impossible to get hold of these days and I don't think anyone's ever made any sort of English translation, official or fan. It's only ever been available on DVD in Sweden and Italy, which is a shame, as it's a totally charming show! youtu.be/pzUDr1p-wpI?...

I'm very much enjoying Metroid Prime 4 so far, but perhaps more in a "Breath of the Wild" way where it's good game, just maybe not a good game in the same way I'm used to with its particular franchise.

It's okay, Robosen. You don't need to pretend the walking doesn't look like your bots desperately need the toilet.

I'm sorry. a CHOGOKIN Samus?! Sign me the hell up!

AOTP Armada Sideways is beautiful and perfect and everything I have ever wanted.

I'm not sure where the TF designers get their talent from, but 86 Megatron's transformation is straight up black magic.

Setting the right mood for a new Metroid game in two weeks'time. Getting myself "primed", if you will.

Okay, the latest double episode of Cyberworld had no right to be that intense.

The complete edition of Transformers: Battlegrounds with all DLC included is currently 70% off on Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. If you want a decent little XCOM-like featuring the Cyberverse cast for under $10, now's the time to grab it before it goes away forever!

You know you're Scandinavian when this is a staple food between October and April.

Fun fact. The "Give it your all to survive" in this ad for Prime 4 isn't directed at Samus or the player. It's intended for the poor planet she's landed on this time.

Time to take this into MANUAL MODE.

Kinda just want to not go to work tomorrow and just stay at home and play with this thing all day instead?

Well, gonna be fewer smaller purchases from Japan for me going forward (nor buying individual figures from US or UK sellers) as the EU is reportedly doing away with the €150 threshold for customs free imports. :/

I am definitely smitten with the Diaclone Tread Versaulter and it has awakened a deep desire for more real-robot mecha. Please give me your best media recommends!

My Dia Battles V2 reissue set has made touchdown on Swedish soil in what has to be record-breaking speed for registered airmail. Japan to Sweden in five days. Now to wait for Postnord to drag their feet the rest of the way.

My Dia Battles V2 2025 set has left Japan and I'm EXCITED.

"Don't talk to me or my space invader son ever again."

I've heard the Waruders are dicks, but they've got one hell of an aesthetic.

Finally, a weapon to surpass Metal Gear!

Got that board game I really like but in the flavor of that other thing I also really like.

This is just flippin' COOL.

Monday robits! The next-best kind after Friday robits. I'm officially hooked on Diaclone.

I will gobble up every single one of these that has a visor + faceplate combo. Peak aesthetic.

Who just managed to find a way to geek out about Daleks and Doctor Who for 15-20 minutes on a Transformers podcast while still technically being on topic? I. I did.

Sliiiiiiide #MetroidPrime4

Me trying to justify to myself why I just ordered more Diaclone reboot stuff:

My regret of sleeping on UW Baldigus: infinite. No way I'm paying that much.

One of those 'I started so I'm going to finish it' ones. Very happy with how it came out!

Sadako and Soundwave wish you a Happy Halloween! 👻🎃 #Maccadam

Finished this Optimus Prime one up! Thought a battlefield would be cool. Originally drawn on graphite, digitally coloured. #Transformers #Maccadams

Really REALLY itching for that Scavenger pre-order to come in soon.
