Another Time and Place TF

So Style Gen Megs is absolutely packing a tertiary Skybound-style pistol mode with all the extra hinges and bits sitting up there, right?

If I were writing a Transformers story, I would break new ground by quoting the '86 film

I weirdly have total faith in this. I joked that after Barbie and MOTU, Mattel was going to find a way to make me feel something with a Hot Wheels movie. Portentous words

Hahahaha, this fucking trailer. ACTION! SECRET AGENTS! EXPLOSIONS! (also, Matchbox cars are a thing btw) www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEzS...

(I'm exaggerating because this does look fun but terrible, and they dropped it unceremoniously onto a second-tier streaming service, but...unreasonable, some would even say unadvisable, trust has been earned!)

AOTP Monstructor arrived and he's a TF of the year for me for sure. Past several years even.

I really feel like Cyberworld and Wild King are toss ups. I know Hasbro territory people are looking hungrily at these elbow joints, but the wild designs and interactivity of Cyberworld looks so fun

If you're still waiting for them to add elbows to toys they're not going to, you're missing out on a lot of fun here

Hasbro: Pink girlbots just don't sell in the kids' lines Also Hasbro: Continues to push pink Elita-1 and Arcee designs everywhere, something no one is forcing them to do

Stop doing superhero landings with your Optimi Start doing the G2 San Francisco

You Mean It's Thursday?@spideythursday.bsky.social

Also since I don’t think I did it for this one yet, here’s Cyberverse/Authentics Optimus doing the San Fran

People being mad about George Lucas being pro-gen AI is like people being mad about Todd McFarlane being pro-gen AI, which is to say it sucks, but it's yelling at the scorpion while you drown

If you had asked me a year ago what two brand-authoring creatives were going to come out pro-AI, they would have been my first two fingers, based on everything they have said or done the past three decades and their entire public personas

"I come in peace"

I know it reused a lot of body types, but the value proposition in Combiner Wars was really insane Also Titans Return

Hi, it's me. I'm the tabs on the Legacy Skids mold's knees, and my sole purpose is to ensure the roof doesn't sit flush

Lindsey Graham isn't alive to see your posts celebrating his death but the other sycophantic homophobic war hawks you know will. Think about how this will affect them before you post and then post it anyway.

I can't really speak to where Skybound Transformers has wound up, but that's mostly because I felt like I was watching it squander an explosive and refreshing first twelve issues just after they ended, and I have not been particularly swayed to reconsider

This is to say I unfortunately felt DWJ's run's own second half let the wind out of the sails of its first, but I haven't seen anything that implies a shot in the arm since

Not saying either is a perfect or wholly awful or anything, but Mattel's motto being "Empowering generations through play" while Hasbro's is "We're not a toy company" or whatever really does feel some kinda way

"You couldn't make Wild, Wild West today" Who cares. You couldn't make the '80s She-Ra episode "Book Burning" today, because a generation raised on children's media that treated antifascist parables as uncontroversial common ground went on to take the wrong lessons into adulthood. that's way sadder

...on that note.

Wild King giving us the first year of a Transformers line in ... ever, to feature no Cybertrons or Destrons in the era of forever-G1 is honestly pretty (ahem) wild.

4 July

Something I keep seeing with TF fans: "I miss auto-morphing. I miss mechanical gimmicks. I miss electronics, etc..." Me: Have you been collecting the kids' lines "No, why would I do that"

4 July

They never stopped making Toy(tm) TFs. You just stopped giving yourself permission to like them.

How did the She-Ra theme not go down with Transformers and Turtles as an all-time, pop-culture osmosis '80s cartoon theme song? It is unbelievably good.

Sorry sorry

If you didn't have an opinion about trans athletes before Republicans engineered a moral panic within the last few years, and you do now, no you fucking don't.

...sorry

Mainline Prime Changer TF One Sentinel is/was/has always been a very good TF. Kind of the platonic ideal even.

I have gotten my first MOTU Masterverse figures in (New Etheria Hordak and Sun-Man; Dragstor, She-Ra, and Adora/Despara on the way), which is also my first experience with an adult-oriented action-figure in general, coming from a TF background. It is fun. It is also just, straight, up, a doll.

It only shows up sparingly in TFs with some live-action Studio Series figures. Obviously it holds up to more stress (I think?), but is it also used because it allows easier molding of minute details? TFs consistently use more rigid, glossy mixes. Is this to ensure less sticking for transformation?

Which is a cheaper material? Do people know what I'm talking about? I feel like this is a weird given in lines, but I generally want someone who collects both TF and other collector lines to fill me in. I remember all the kid-oriented toys I had as a kid being more rigid and glossy as well.

Like, you pose it and swap accessories around for display and that's the play. Literally just a doll. Fun though! I have also just unstuck an elbow joint with hot water for the first time in my life, and I have serious questions about plastic materials if anyone cares to answer?

This is my first time dealing with the kind of matte, gummier/more rubbery plastic that seems to be used near universely across adult-oriented lines like MOTU's, Marvel Legends (I think?), Joe's, Spawn (I think?), NECA stuff (I think?), etc.
