Was saying this back when it got revealed, but it's actively ridiculous to make an action figure of Thia Predatorbadlands with multiple alternate heads and then give them all dead neutral facial expressions. She spends the entire film making goofy little faces!

They said it couldn't be done, but it's exactly as funny as American Saturday Night Live.

So still no pre-announcement for Monstructor, curiously. Either he's a surprise drop, or he's been rescheduled?

DLSS-5-related tangent: I've never gotten over the fact that Sony named their version of the same thing "PISSER".

PSA: all of these should be going up for preorder tomorrow at 5pm UK/1pm US Eastern time. - Selects Monstructor (fan channel) - Classified Zanya w/ Swamp Skier (fan channel + Amazon) - Classified Prof. Rottclaw w/ Deinonychus (mass retail)

These are the ideal Dinobots colors. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability 🙄

I genuinely remember it being the '00s and literally the only two pieces of information I knew about Resident Evil where that (a) it was a horror series with zombies and (b) they made one that was really racist.

happy MAR13 day <3

I'm struggling to explain to non-fans how 'they found two missing episodes' feels. I think it might genuinely be a whole human emotion only accessible to Dr Who fans, like we're deep sea fish who can smell magnets.

Ahoy. I'll be at @tfcon.bsky.social LA at *least* on Saturday, and I'll have a mini photobox with me. If you've obtained a cool toy there that @tfwiki.net don't got a good user-submitted pic of, ping me on bluesky! We'll set up and get some pics and you can help make the wiki that much nicer!

I think there's genuinely a degree to which the Siege-onward era of collector product/marketing (which began very soon after IDW1 ended!) has wound up turning a new generation of TF fans into G1 traditionalists who rankle at the kind of remixing/reinterpretation that was very routine in IDW books.

Two months later, I'm still constantly thinking about this 9-1-1 multi-parter. There's a whole thing where they have to do the Apollo 13 O2 scrubber thing, but it's firefighters on the ground brainstorming crazy jury-rig first aid that can be done to save the lives of injured passengers.

I think every single day about “The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.”

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

I desperately want to know what the hell happened in the factory that caused all these Hot Rods to have such atrocious QC, all in totally unique ways? Like, it's not an "every copy has the thighs on backwards" situation - I'm constantly seeing new and bizarre ways that one of these can be fucked up.

Really cool that they invented a Pride flag for people who can switch between a human face, a robot face and a monster face by turning a big dial on top of their head.

Hey @tfnationltd.bsky.social, FYI a non-functional "Book Hotel Rooms" button seems to be showing on the TFNation 2026 booking confirmation page, despite rooms not going up till the 21st?

Working through the Oz series with my 8y/o and I have to say, if you're only familiar with the material that made it into movies, you're missing out on some prime stuff

I'm always saying this but I love how, despite having a consistent vocabulary, Huttese still sounds like a kid inventing Alien Words on the fly. A guy will say some shit like "ooga bonki fleembo" and you'll look it up and find that, yes, that's the correct Huttese for "I want my money".

My SS officer fit raising questions already answered by my SS officer fit

I think there should be 13 Supreme Court justices. The original bearer of the Matrix should wield the Starsaber. One should have a beast-form. One has the Enigma of Combination. And so on.

Shout-out to this officially-licensed Garfield T-shirt I just saw in Next in town:

The funniest thing would be if the Labour Party also got arrested today

okay, here it is, the five key takeaways from this by-election: 1. Denton Kebab House 2. The Crispy Cod, Denton 3. Reddish Tandoori, Gorton 4. Cottage Chippy, Gorton 5. The Continental Takeaway, Denton

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

It's incredibly funny how so much mainstream UK reporting on the Greens has the vibe of, like, "WE MUST STOP THESE SICK FREAKS BEFORE THEY DESTROY OUR COUNTRY" and then you look at the accompanying photo and they're talking about some smiling Labrador puppies.

Garry Chalk, The Voice Of Optimus Primal, Has Won His Battle Against Cancer #tfw2005 #transformers

The whole "I know now that my choices *are* my own, and yet I find I have no choice at all" thing remains one of the coolest pieces of character-driven time-travel storytelling I've ever seen. It's so fucking good...!

I think some Doctor Who critics owe a big apology to British quarries

"We are all but fragments of the Matrix, which releases each of us in order to struggle, and grow, and evolve—so when we return to it, it may grow and evolve. Thus do we serve the Matrix, not just by battling, but also by acquiring knowledge, wisdom, and [Velociraptor DNA]."

At a 2017 HasCon presentation, Hasbro revealed there was a point they were considering a G.I. Joe series of missile-launching armored horsies.

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

One of the greatest bollard walks in history. #WorldBollardAssociation

The GIJOE Classified polar bear: an important component of your Earthforce display

Don't know what Megazarak's deal is? Good news, the 3H-era BotCon microcontinuity he's from is so brief that I can feasibly fit the entire thing into a short thread! He started out as an attempt at a "Generation 3" Megatron, but Hasbro didn't allow the use of the name, so he became an OC instead.

At about last... And it's time!

Damn, turns out to have just been a batch of Takara stuff today: Overgear wave 1, Eva Optimus and ML cartoon Grimlock.

PSA: Entertainment Earth reports a Transformers preorder later today (that's the usual 6pm UK time) which is almost certainly Selects Monstructor, given his stock photos leaked yesterday. Should be a fan-channel release (i.e. everywhere except Walmart/Target/Amazon).

Okay so this one had a really stupid impetus. The idea was "a Joe who comes with a horse, but Larry Hama hates it and writes him a file card that makes it clear he's a normal cavalry scout (i.e. vehicular) who also owns a horse. The horse never appears in the comic."

Got reminded of @madmohair.bsky.social's comment on the question of "how are GI Joes able to beat Transformers when they cross over"

Unfortunately, the BBC cannot release Marco Polo on Blu-ray at present because it is too boring.

Went to look up the wiki page for Dalek Invasion of Earth and got hit with this, dying. Going to record a screed for my reactionary YouTube channel accusing the Daleks of being woke because they use it/its pronouns.

Can't believe the establishment have arrested him to distract from the announcement of the 4K Blu-ray release of the 1996 Dr Who TV movie.

keep calling him prince andrew imo, i don't think the institution which shielded and funded him should get to cut ties so easily

Was spreading the good word of "it's possible to analyse the Beast Machines cartoon through a lens of beast modes representing sex" last night. I consider it proof of BM's richness as a text that it's hard to argue against the validity of that as a reading.
