Idk what happened, but AOTP Skybyte, who just came out in Japan a few weeks back, is already selling out and inflating on the secondary market, forcing me to pull the 6,000 yen trigger. Way too much for him; something has to give.

Also “The future holds only conflict and mayhem!” “Tell me you forgive me!” and of course “I’ll kill you!”

Aspects of Evil (Part 1) Starring: Kingdom Rodimus Prime Also featuring: Blokees Unicron, SS86 Megatron and Galvatron, Siege Shockwave, Botcon Scorponok, and Sentinel Prime as "The Student" Inspired by the Marvel UK story arc of the same name (#223 to #227) #Transformers

Now at #190 in Spawn and a central complaint I have with the series is that it does not use Nyx nearly enough. The series really comes alive whenever she's back in a story arc In general though I feel like the entire book only gets more fun and engaging as it goes, even with many false starts

If you think you like complex Transformers I humbly invite you to transform each of these back and forth for one photoshoot and reevaluate your life choices

This is a genuinely insane thing to have in your onboarding reference book and the funniest element of the Binder of Revelations by far

We're going deep here

What does this meeeean? This isn't even successful as an in to the series for freelance creatives. I am a bona fide, Wiki-editing superfan and I can't make heads or tails of this. Why were they so all in on the Prime stuff, something they just hoped some fiction would use eventually?

Hasbro on Solus Prime: "So it was the late 2000s and lots of people were getting worked up about a fictional trope called 'fridging.' Well, we looked that up and we thought 'Hey, this is pretty neat. This is really resonating with people.' So we worked in as many versions of it as we could."

Gonna start carrying this around in my wallet to prove I'm just a Regular Guy

2025's hot new Transformers toyline introducing all your favorite characters from our 2010s corporate reference document!

It is the late '90s. Simon Furman jots down a half-formed but cool-sounding idea for "Thirteen Primes," an idea unworkably cumbersome for any actual fiction, in which it is never fully used. Hasbro ever since the late 2000s: We're gonna make this our whole fucking thing

Transformed Masterpiece Skids for the second time tonight. Idk; Skids is my fave so it's nice for the novelty, but the figure just leaves me very whelmed for the price tag. Nothing wrong with it, but oh the fun 12,000 yen worth of other Transformers could have brought

Right, so. This is what we're getting up to on the Transformers comic podcast. You should join us for silly times gazing straight into the cybernetic abyss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfed...

Not the main thrust of this account, but I've picked up a long dormant compendium-fueled Spawn read again, currently around #180, and I regret to inform you that even though nothing ever happens, I unironically like Spawn I could do a short essay explaining why, but forget it, baby. It's Spawn town

Elita-7 ⚡️ I thought what if my Elita had upgraded herself after years of battling. As the name suggests, it's her seventh iteration...

This is honestly one of my favorite Megatron moments ever it’s so funny and so cool

Not to Start Anything™️, but I feel like fundamentally there are kind of two different avenues to interaction with TF collecting between "This is the stuff they were doing with Optimus this year. Neat" and "This is the way Optimus was Always Meant to be Done," and also you must choose a tribe

My hot but correct take on Transformers is that if they can no longer produce intricate toys at reasonable retail prices, they should produce less intricate toys

Thirteen Primes: Never been collectively defined or detailed in any single series; basically a collection of footnotes with one or two real takes for half of them across different versions. In One last year as a totally different group of guys. Hasbro launching a line around them: No bios needed

Headed to the All Hail Cybertron fan event in Tokyo (met up w/ @hobbydrifter.bsky.social). Grabbed a mug and some fan comics, including one based on ROTB's gimmick toys(?!)+ a nice IDW Megs acrylic stand. Think Comiket focused solely on TFs. Was ~70% women, and crowded, which is super nice to see!

THE WORLD can now enjoy this video that I definitely made in a bad mood. youtu.be/s3u3A8nuPc0 #TRDQ

Why Skybound Prime's cab back no fill in? We're just Earthrising it?

BWII readthrough continues with the mostly delightful Chapters 4 and 5. Key differences have developed between this and the anime, like the manga actually being fun.

Girlfriend upon getting to the "Rite of Oneness" fluid-mixing in Marvel: Is this how they bang? Me: Haha, no *Thinks about Conjux Endura rituals* Wait, IDW says actually yes

Fire the MASERS! #transformers

Post an orange Transformer.

In which I add missing summaries of and trivia for Beast Wars manga chapters to the @tfwiki.net as I read through the series for the first time. They said it could never be done! They said no one would ever care! (They were right! Maybe.)

Oof. Conversation with the girlfriend on US Issues 5 through 9 for the TF comic podcast ran over two hours. We'll have to pare it way down or split the episode. We both had a lot to say about Ratchet, the general direction of the series, Circuit Breaker's upcoming costume, and other things.

Clever Girl!

Should I livetweet a readthrough of this?

Who is the best G1 Transformers character and why is it Katy?

As someone who wrote and translated (computer tasks) but didn't have an analogue hands-on recreational hobby before toy-collecting/photos (the focus of this account), I feel this quite strongly, and it's an undersung benefit/part of the fun.

(Sigh) So, look, this is basically just a kids' activity book that's a pack-in with a figure, but I got the 2025 "Fanbook" for the Core Class Megatron redeco, and every page is filled with AI slop.

It is '85. You've written dozens of bios as de facto creative director of a burgeoning toy-media franchise and now helm its tie-in comic. In six months, you have hardly showcased a third of its cast, on toy shelves now. What do you do? Four-month arc where the only living good guy is the team medic.
