Although this week’s #BehindTheBots star has worked for Takara as a concept artist and illustrator, HIROFUMI ICHIKAWA is well-known for his high-concept Transformers prose, which include “Binaltech”, “Alternity”, and various Masterpiece bios! tfwiki.net/wiki/Hirofum...

I've received a boon! The best Armada character is in my house!? www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmaE...

Scuzi fo' innarupting - but WE'RE BACK with an episode looking at Linkage, oft called the best Armada fiction! Join us to find out how Servo is the PG Tips Monkey, why a van-bot is called "Midship", and what "toyetic diegesis" is. ALSO: Divorce. ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/bonus-epis...

COMING MONDAY AFTER ALMOST A YEAR THE GRAND RETURN OF OUR WORLDS ARE IN DANGER for one episode about some pack in manga

Soon

Belated @tfnationltd.bsky.social haul post! I only had two things I was actively looking for, neither of which I managed to find, so most of what I got was in the form of either gifts from friends or pre-arranged purchases.

@danieladkins.bsky.social kindly gifted me a Classified Series Airborne, which I had mentioned I wanted, and my beloved cohost @wadapan.bsky.social... "kindly" gifted me Built To Rule Smokescreen (and McDonalds Starscream and Red Alert, and Mini-Con Broadside).

And, of course, there's the obligatory yearly commission piece from @nickroche.bsky.social. I thought I'd celebrate the 20th anniversary of two of my favourite time travelers! It came out really lovely, and Nick was (as always) a total sweetheart.

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.

The sooner I don't have to look for a new job the sooner I'll have the emotional energy to watch Transformers Energon

Tidal Wave just pawn in game of life

Your ma/da loves Armada Starscream like it's 2002!

Do you like, eg: Transformers Armada?

Had to replace my shoes and it's cut into my finances pretty hard. If you like my work, it'd mean a lot if you could toss me a few quid on Ko-Fi, or commission me for a funny little guy. ko-fi.com/sjbroadside

TODAY'S SKETCH: Armada Scavenger, kinda?

New sketch! You know who it is.

If you wanted a more positive counterpart to one of our hosts getting extremely mad at TFONE, here's another of our hosts breaking down a bunch of different Transformers stories to see what makes them work.

my good friend wadapan is so kind to me, getting me THREE classic armada toys for my birthday : )

bro think he spreem

This is so sad

at long last, here's my essay on Transformers One. I've had it written for months, but people being insane online about this movie led me to postpone its release again, and again, and again, because the thing is I didn't like this film read on tumblr: thewadapan.tumblr.com/post/7647101...

We're joined by @speedfreak01.bsky.social to discuss Transformers One! We talk about deference to Brand, Henry putting his whole pussy into it, and Key doing Really Good Bits as we try to figure out what, if anything, this film's themes actually are. ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/bonus-epis...

If it helps keep everyone's spirits up, we've got a new episode that should go up this Friday, featuring a special guest that'll bring a bit of actual professionalism to this wretched place.

We're back with an episode looking at Transformers: The Ultimate Guide, the one true history of the Transformers (as long as you're in the mid-2000s), whose decisions are sometimes clever and often baffling. Also: ha ha, "Unicron's evil taint". ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/bonus-epis...

Join us for (half) an episode all about TFNation 2024! We discuss guests of honour being assaulted by salsa goons, sleepy Gregg Berger storytime, crank opinions about cosplay, and Snake-Eyes mania. Plus: did you know that ninjuns were deadly assassins? ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/bonus-epis...

Simon Furman gets the band back together - and so do we, for a look at Panini's surprisingly high-effort Armada comic! Then, we're joined by @inflatabledalek.bsky.social, who tells us all about Andrew Wildman oversharing and the worst game of Guess Who ever! ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/bonus-epis...

We return to Dreamwave Armada for its final arc, which looks a lot like a G1 comic instead. Wada forgets what anime looks like, Jo struggles to feign interest in Optimus Prime doing nothing for four issues, and we finally discover the central theme of Armada! ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/bonus-epis...

In this week's episode, Red Alert decides to get off his ass, Billy and Fred get their first good joke ever, and - of course - Squidhead becomes squid-dead. ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-50...

Unicron makes yet another debut in an episode that really tries to live up to TFTM. The Autobots' try to play nice, Optimus doesn't care about you dying if he can't see you, and Demolishor has something like a character arc. Plus: Blackout! Remember him? ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-49...

In case you missed it - we had UT superfan Tyra on to discuss one of the most iconic Armada episodes of all time: the one where Starscream goes swimming without waiting an hour after eating! ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-48...

Real Scavenger Hours

No new episode this week - but remember to get caught up with last week's episode! ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-46...

We've got two new episodes for you: episode 43 features @danieladkins.bsky.social, here to talk about powerlinx decoes and wiki writeups, and episode 44 features... well, not much, to be honest. But it's still funny! ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-43... ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-44...

We delve into the Mystic Mystery of the Mini-Cons this week, with a dub that gets points for trying... even if it manages to "fix" errors that don't exist in the process. PLUS: Orbs, generally. ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-42...

Our prayer for actual human focus is finally answered... but is it too little too late? Join us to look at Rad's parents' loveless marriage, and why Billy and Fred are SO essential to the narrative. Plus: a special guest tells you about the traaanslations! ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-41...

Stop us if you've heard this one before - by which I mean "if you've watched TFTM". The kids still don't get to do anything, but at least they have opinions; Hot Shot is harsh, but not *wrong*; and Prime does what Primes do. This one's pretty affecting! ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-39...

As Armada comes off a five month hiatus, we are faced with several questions about Starscream. For instance: is he stupid? Plus, Hot Shot and Alexis make sad faces, and the writers have no idea what to do with either Side Swipe or Wheeljack. ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-38...

You can find Wadapan's community blog article, with exclusive production sketches from artist Dylan Gibson, here: tfwikicommunity.wordpress.com/2023/10/31/i...

On this spookiest of days, Wada alone jumps on the blagphone with Darren Jamieson—author of the infamous The Beast Within. This, for the very first time, is the full story of the most hated Transformers comic ever. Please don't send us any pork. ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/bonus-epis...

Special guest @cyberlink420.bsky.social forces us to confront the inevitable passage of time, while Armada explores the dynamic of two of the best characters in the show. Also, it's the episode with THAT Starscream quote. You know the one. ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-36...

Transformers comics are back, baby! Join us as we dive into the first issue of the new series by Daniel Warren Johnson... which you might be able to guess our feelings on from how, 25 minutes in, we're still discussing the expert colour choices on page 3. ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/bonus-epis...

Wouldn't It Be Badass If? That's the question of the day as we discuss a fun and characterful episode that—despite an infuriating premise and some frustrating inconsistencies—comes out a winner. PLUS: Dub Dubs. ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-34...

Notorious poster @kuuga.bsky.social joins us for a surprisingly 9/11-centric discussion of a formative episode for him. We discuss Toy Perversions, talk Thrust's Backslide-isms, and debate the symbolic significance of a snail. What DID they mean by this? ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-33...

A other one from the vault: the first time I drew Armada Starscream, circa 2002. #maccadam #UnicronTrilogy #Starscream #illustration #transformers

In this week's episode: It's fine! It's fine. Don't worry about it. It's FINE. ourworldspod.podbean.com/e/episode-32...
