There’s no videos of Beast Machines Mega Cheetor using his signature masturbation technique so I must provide

I’m tempted by that Prime Changer Megatron but I fundamentally disrespect the boring ass gray tank. Call me back when it’s green and purple

I didn’t care one way or the other for Drift aside from the yaoi he had with Ratchet, but boy does reading IDW make his plotline (a generous term) in Cyberverse so much funnier

I thought I’d be more upset about Prowl’s ultimate fate in IDW but Barber just kinda dropping him after Combiner Wars is a crueler fate for him than anything that could have befallen him in-universe

New sticker for Fall SPiCE and TFcon Orlando, probably? Rainforest Cafe homage because I thought it was funny.

I know there are a lot of economic and financial reasons why Transformers are packaged in bot mode now instead of alt mode but has anyone considered that it’s because getting the bot into alt mode is easily the hardest part (relatively speaking) and the part that most warrants instructions?

The real tragedy of the entire IDW run is that Barber gave us these two together only at the tail end of it

Last but most, POTP Outback. What’s that? New Outback and Swerve? Fuck outta here. Very reminiscent of POTP Beachcomber, which is a very good thing, he’s fun to handle, the transformation hits, and the hummer’s very nice and rolls well. Would double dip for Brawn.

More positively, holy shit it’s Swerve. I dunno if I made it clear in my IDW threads but Swerve was one of my favorites from MTMTE, so it’s nice to have one based on that design. Fun little bot that comes with a targetmaster pal who’s pretty involved for a sidepiece to the line’s smallest class

Hey look it’s Slash, he’s not in that movie I haven’t watched. Holy kibble, he might be more kibble than robot in bot mode, which doesn’t make him fun to handle (special shout out to the stupid knee spikes), and all the rubber parts don’t really help with hand feel.

I was gonna say something at the end of the “season 3” thread but I figured I’d spin it out into its own thread for an overview of the entire continuity so here goes. I overall enjoyed reading the IDW Transformers comics, which doesn’t surprise me and shouldn’t surprise any fans who have read them

They’ve never been good with titles, have they?

rare pokemon fact: they named this guy tyrogue because its evolution is a roguelike (allows you to choose one of three options) bravo game freak

I thought after reading IDW I’d understand why Patrick Seitz made Overlord sound like a cowboy in the Machinima cartoon but now I’m even more confused

If Shockwave came back as Onyx Primal would that be racist

Someone on here once said that RID/Transformers vol. 2 should’ve been relaunched as “Arcee” not “Optimus Prime” and yeah I gotta agree

So like, is Cyclonus Tailgate’s father or lover because I feel like the subtext goes both ways sometimes

The way the Transformers fandom reacted to “Welcome to the dark side” from Beast Wars has given me a low opinion of this fandom’s ability to perceive wordplay

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

I’m gonna find out there was a TFWiki page for ten minutes for Sanity, the Autobot who parted company with Getaway aren’t I

IDW ringing up Livio Ramondelli every time they need a scene in the past or in some dark alternate dimension drawn

Watching Obsession. We gotta kill this fucking guy

Enough has been said about tokon being a 4v4 game with no fantastic 4 but it also doesn't have dr. strange so we can't run this iconic team either

Bad Marvel Memes@avengersbad.bsky.social · last yr.

hapy 4/20

You gotta be fuckin shitting me man So does that mean the “Adult Aang has a fuckass chinstrap beard because Michael Dante DiMartino has similar facial hair” theory still holds water?

Boto, Donkey Kongs Husband@boto.bsky.social · 2w ago

They also used chatGPT to come up with the character designs and general concepts so uhhhhhhh

I barely know anything about GI Joe so Dr. Mindbender has up till now just been the frozen guy from the G2 crossover who was in this infamous panel

You Mean It's Thursday?@spideythursday.bsky.social · 2w ago

Why is Dr. Mindbender Steve Harvey

This design really appealed to me so when I got a chance to pick it up for cheap I took it. It’s crazy how this thing arguably prefigured “the articulation is the gimmick” cuz for 2007 this guy can MOVE, rivaling toys from Legacy. I think this is also the first Transformer with a blast effect?

Hey can we talk about how fucking shit the name “Action Man” is

You Mean It's Thursday?@spideythursday.bsky.social · 2w ago

Was that Action Man comic any good? He’s starting to grow on me a bit

Is it weird that my head voice for IDW Megatron became Rory McCann’s from Earthspark?

Jinxed it. Fuck the claw boss

Related, I started playing Toy Story on Genesis yesterday and I always hear it’s supposed to be this brutally difficult game but I’m at the 3D maze level and besides a lack of continues (circumvented with a level skip code) I don’t really see it? Is this cuz I played Mickey Mania a few years back?

I hate “voyager class” as a name because what the fuck does that tell you
