In an unexpected turn of events, I now own SS86 Wreck-Gar, Siege Springer, and Siege Barricade. Even if the latter two are only like 99% complete, I knew I'd regret walking away from them. Replay Toys is the best place to find #Transformers around here, besides The Deep.

as a dyke it's very funny how often the sex scene discourse seems to presume that there used to be halcyon days of sex positivity in film when most of those sex scenes were also bad, not for reasons of gratuitousness or plot irrelevance, but because they were overwhelmingly heteronormative/male gaze

Having learned nothing the first two times, I picked up and assembled another Furai Model TF kit, IDW!Rodimus. He looks great and is very sturdy, but JESUS CHRIST some of his parts almost require a hydraulic press. I'unno what it is with Furai and hideously stubborn components. #Transformers

Picked up a Chillet plush at Target earlier today, which is a sentence I never thought I would type. (And not just because I figured the new Palworld merch would be online-only.) Much like the electric rodent, I must have the weasel dragon.

One of the Hot Wheels I picked up today was the purple and green Futurismo. You can't slap an "01" on something with that colour scheme (with black accents, to boot) and tell me it's NOT referencing Unit 01. (something something altmode of Godmaster Yui Ikari.)

So, I would LIKE to watch more of Transformers: The Headmasters, in part since the Autobot HMs are important secondary characters in my AU musings (as one might deduce from all my Hardblurr art). Except. I cannot abide what that show DID! to Arcee.

#Transformers Got my Neokyo package today, just ahead of the July 8th CSPC crackdowns. Thunderblast needed a bit of magic eraser scrubbing and her hinges are creaky, but she's complete. Seems to hold up okay for a Transformer from 2005. Overlord, too, is complete and in good enough shape.

#valveplug art/writing prompt for whoever wants it: One headcanon of mine is that Blurr having his "soft" areas (belly/lower back/legs+thighs) stroked helps calm him. He's usually good about not immediately wrecking Hardhead's spike/valve out of desperation, but--

#Transformers There's probably no scenario in which it'd happen (and would've caused problems later on like w/ Jetfire & Sky Lynx), but I can't help but imagine one in which Hasbro licensed the RS-78 Gundam for G1. Have there be three of them as the land-based counterparts to the Seekers--

Stuck on someone complaining that Floro Dery "destroyed the beautiful Diaclone toy designs". Had there been a contemporaneous Diaclone anime, the toy designs would still have to be simplified because that's how animation works. It honestly reeks of--

[sees that Netraptor's artistic output seems to have been totally subsumed by AI slop] Disappointing, yet unsurprising. (Although that's not the only thing that nuked my respect for her--she also cut ties w/ a Christian publisher for daring to become more inclusive of LGBT+ people.)

So early in the process of localizing #Pokemon, it was suggested that Pikachu become a Thundercat. Tsunekazu Ishihara came away thinking "big-titty tiger girl", which probably wasn't what NoA had in mind... but you can't say "big-titty tiger girl" and expect me NOT to draw it. #fanart
