Remember, fandom public consciousness is a conversation.
There's a context for everything.
'Till next time.
Poor guy. Film twitter tried to dunk on this guy because they didn't realise "shot" doesn't just mean a physical camera shot, but also a cut in the editing software.
No fun allowed apparently.
I feel like not nearly enough people talk about Earthrise/Kingdom Optimus Prime these days.
He basically became the definitive CHUG scale G1 Prime, with only a few minor issues here and there, and now everyone pretends he doesn't exist.
He never stopped being awesome. Come on.
Lorenzo said ROTB would be a prequel to the 07 movie.
I know continuity has always been shoddy but... unicron being earth the whole time was kinda a big deal.
And uh... unicron is definitely not earth in ROTB.
So Lorenzo:
Back when the movie came out, this seemed like such a stupid plot point. Nobody could ever let something stupid like that happen.
It's 2023 now. Yeah. Billionaires really are that stupid.
I love how the entire TF community collectively understood the assignment, disowned the manchild complaining about pronouns in Starfield, and all started dunking on him.
We're a pretty good community. We have our chuds here and there, but by and large, we're mostly good peeps.
I dunno who needs to hear this, but...
Fuck Taylor Swift.
Fuck private jets, polluting the atmosphere for no reason.
Fuck obsessive fans who think a pop star is more important than the genocide in Palestine.
Fuck the execs who cancel projects because they make fun of her.
Wanted to thank the vast majority of you who supported yesterday's video and "coming out" as pan.
Video didn't do particularly well, and I lost about 200 subscribers, but I said what needed to be said, and most of you were there to support me.
Appreciate y'all. Stay strong.
Lotta hate going around on the timeline, so let's cleanse it a bit.
This is a nightshade appreciation post. They are a cinnamon roll and must be protected.
Reply and quote tweet with anything Nightshade, and why they're awesome.
Of course Frieza won death battle.
He always was going to.
The more popular character always wins. It's never about science; it's about views and algorithm farming.
In the words of Stan Lee, "who would win in a fight is whoever the writer wants to win".
RID2015 is the new Beast Machines.
As its own show, it's alright.
As a sequel to Prime (which it does advertise itself as), it follows up poorly.
People HATE it now, especially calling the moralism "preachy".
The difference in tone infuriates them.
Character continuity is
Honestly, I feel sorry for fans of most toylines outside of Transformers.
All I ever hear is complaints that corporate decides on characters nobody cares about, over and over.
Meanwhile, the TF team consistently cooks.
Over.
And over.
And over again.
We have it good.
Lotta the fandom feeling the hurt today, but lemme clear something up.
Fox News trying to tear Transformers down shouldn't be seen as a bad thing.
It's a badge of honour. It means the franchise is doing something RIGHT.
Reminder.
Being queer is not political.
Gay, trans, ace, demi: existence is not political.
I know you're hiding behind "politics" as an excuse.
If you think existence of myself and other LGBTQ people is "political" and "inappropriate", unfollow and leave.
2020: Oh my god! Removable matrix! At mainline! That's awesome! The finally brought this awesome gimmick to an affordable price range.
2024: MAKE IT STOP!
Newage: okay, so our wheeljack is called Hammond, because he created the dinosaurs. Pretty cool reference, right?
Fandom: TONIGHT, ON TRANSFORMER GEAR, WHEELJACK BUILDS SOMETHING STUPID!
- Charles Martinet repeatedly says he wants to voice Mario until the day he dies, because he loves the character
- Mario movie comes out, deliberately not casting him outside of a cameo
- Nintendo announces he won't be returning for Wonder
- no express word from Charles himself
Enough hating and hot takes.
I wanna hear what you LOVE about the Transformers franchise.
What's the kinda stuff that just brightens your day whenever you're feeling glum?
Enough discussion in "how characters are supposed to be" and "not changing because it's inconsistent".
I wanna hear the most wild, out there, fan concepts for your own personal series in Transformers.
How far will you take it? How creative can you get?
Aight, imma head out.
Every other day it's something new on this stupid website; some new controversy or wave of harassment.
I'm uninstalling and keeping this account just for updating on the next few videos.
Find me on other websites or privately on discord.
Bye all. :D
Please don't go see the Flash movie. Don't support it, don't talk about it, don't promote it. Just let it die.
We can't let sex offenders get away with shit "because we like a franchise". Ezra Miller is a LITERAL groomer. Not in the right-wing "I'm gonna call trans people this
The fact I have a bunch of Youtube comments claiming that Siege Chromia is 'better than Legacy' because 'its an original mould' honestly has me concerned.
Y'all don't remember. I don't wanna go back.
Some of y'all are WAY overreacting over Bumblebee concept art Megatron getting a toy.
"This leads to the death of a line"
Huh?
Or perhaps it would open the door to characters like Breakaway, Warpath and ROTF Stratosphere?
I'm all for context with toys, but this ain't it chief
I't an early Christmas miracle
a Nick executive has confirmed that Paramount has rejected WBD's offer meaning that Warner Bros will not be merging with Paramount
Haha imagine getting free preview tickets to rise of the beasts courtesy of paramount pictures Australia, two months before the regular Aussie release.
Haha, couldn't be me.
I just had some fuckwit on the light rail shouting "tranny, fucking tranny, get away from the kids" over and over. Took my a while to realise he was shouting at me specifically.
I'm a cis man you idiot. You trabsphobes are genuinely appalling.
Wait, y'all are only NOW boycotting Tfsource?
Don't get me wrong: it's a pretty good reason, but like, for years they've been
- advertising "MISB" toys when they're actually loose toys
- selling broken second hand items without disclosing, then refusing refunds
Okay, enough whinging.
Enough of the endless wave of asanine "they ruined the original intent".
I wanna hear your FAVOURITE legacy figure. The one you unashamedly love.
Which figure gives you absolute joy every time you pick it up?
Fuck if these rumours about "changing Wheeljack's design" are true, I'm royally pissed off.
Every time a studio bows down to fan pressure, VFX artists get caught in the crossfire.
Constant crunch in Marvel studios because studio execs want 'a different climax' at the last
I'm horrified that what "kills Earthspark" won't be the lack of a wide release, the dwindling toyline or even it's episode schedule...
...but potentially, if this merger goes through, it'll be David fucking sazlav.
Monopolies are disgusting.
So, TF reveals
- Magnus looks decent. Doubt he'll be the best commander ever, but he looks fun. Not running out to buy him, but he'll end up in my collection eventually.
- Glad the 07 pack exists for new fans to have a chance to get those great early SS figures (and Barricade),
Set the alarm for 10am. Body clock laughed and woke me up at 7. Was absolutely peeved...
...a begrudging trip to the shopping centre unrelated to these made me realise WHY I instinctually woke up so early...
So my Reprolabels came today, and I was doing some stickering...and uh...I noticed something...
...WHY THE FUCK DOES LEGACY MINERVA HAVE A BUTT CRACK?!
A really baffling take I've been seeing around is that "ROTB ruined the live action films because the robots don't feel like 'setpieces' anymore".
... wasn't that an issue everyone had with the last few? They were more setpieces than characters?
Not a super common take, but
You hate localisation changes because it ages up love interests in games to be of legal age.
I hate localisation changes because it censors important queer representation.
We are not the same.
Over the past couple of months, I've found myself getting more and more confused at some of you.
For a sizeable portion of the fandom...
...why are you still here?
If you don't even like Transformers, and actively despise every figure they put out, why are you still a fan?
People saying "wow Disney really should've said yes to Nimona as it's so popular".
Nah.
It's actually better they didn't, because you just KNOW they would've censored it.
Goldenloin? Forced to be made female. All the themes? Gone and mark my words they would've replaced it
- The storm has blown four transformers
- Who are we in debt to, the decepticons
- Thanks, they're vans
- Wife bad
- Wife bad
- WIFE BAD
- WIIIIIIFE BAAAAAAD
Why do boomer TF fans hate their spouses so much? It's not even funny, and yet that's half the jokes they make.
2019. Siege Astrotrain releases at the leader price point. People complain Hasbro is "anti consumer". The toy releases, turns out it's pretty gooe. People move on.
2022. Legacy Blitzwing releases at the leader price point. People complain Hasbro is "anti consumer". The toy
God, people's whinging is really pissing me off today.
Here I am, trying to get hyped over Bailan Prime, and all I'm reading is "bro this is stupid it should've just been CHUG scale".
...can is legends fan not just enjoy our scale for once, without being told we're "wrong"?!
How to legally own MP36 in Australia.
- sign up for a replica firearm license
- prove you have no mental health concerns or neurodiversity
- join a replica fire association, which often requires payment
- buy a gun cabinet. An actual gun cabinet.
- install security bars on all
I swear to god, I am so sick and tired of having to run around to a billion stores with no avail. I couldn't get Soundwave locally thanks to shit like this, and most of my mates had to resort to scalping.
Blahaj images really be cheering me up.
Downside is my social media algorithm now thinks I'm trans.
I'm good YouTube. I don't need voice training lessons.
- Siege Shockwave
- Siege Astrotrain
- Earthrise Cliffjumper
- Kingdom Rodimus
- Legacy Blitzwing
- SS86 Ultra Magnus
Every time the fandom says "the figures are too small for the size, it turns out they pack enough engineering and paint in the thing to justify it.
- Hasbro designers put out an open question in Instagram asking "which Prime Wars and WFC figures would you like to see reissued?"
- Some of the most requested are the late wavers in Earthrise, that got no stock
- Months pass
- Leaked listing drops for a selects five pack
They've finally done it.
They've made a wave where every single figure is an absolute banger.
They somehow outdid legacy evolution, and I couldn't be happier.
Seen a bit of discourse on this, so figured I'd give my two cents.
It's perfectly valid to like/love a character based on design alone.
There's no quantifiable "requirement" to like something.
No one can tell you how to engage with your hobby. It's your prerogative alone.
The upcoming major writers strike is going to be HORRIBLE.
Media from this period is going to fall off extremely hard.
But it's also a necessity. The bandaid needs to be torn off for the industry to heal.
People's livelihoods are more important than the media they make.
Animated is great.
But Beast Wars.
Beast Wars is legendary.
Only one show can be unequivocally described as 'saving the franchise'.
Others can be argued this, but Beast Wars is just fact.
Obsessive accuracy is dumb. Not everything works in plastic form. Nailing the "feel" of the character is far more important than getting every minute detail right.
To whoever posted the last page... literally as I'm heading off to pick up the comment...fuck you.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
You absolute dipshit.
Fuck you.
I hope your favourite character gets bastardised and turned into comic relief.
Reposting again because Skybound's Transformers
#1
is due out soon, and there are appropriate ways to spoiler tag and inappropriate ones.
Follow this helpful guide and tag your spoilers properly.
Years ago figures like this just wouldn't have been feasible, and if they were they wouldn't be of this quality.
Damn these are good. Modern transformers are just built different.
Looking closer at the new GI Joe Soundwave.
Actually think this looks rad...until you see the way the front transforms.
I don't see any transformation joints. I'd love to be wrong, but it looks like the doubled down on the partsforming instead of fixing it after Megatron.
Tomorrow, a new Diagnosis Insanity drops.
Tomorrow, we take a look at perhaps the best start to a Transformers continuity in recent memory.
Tomorrow...we take a look at Skybound.
My new year's resolution is a spiteful one.
I'm stick and tired of seeing A/I fart overtaking the internet.
I'm exhausted from seeing all the amazing art my friends draw, and being jealous with "I wish I could do that".
So I'm gonna commit. I'm gonna learn to draw.
