transformers characters/toys I REALLY want new generations updates of. Not because I'll buy them but because it'll flood the market with the old ones: - Unicron (Platinum Edition) - Metroplex (T30) - Lockdown (ROTF) - Thunderwing (Generations)
In the afterglow of TFNation's celebration of creativity and artistry, lemme show you a fan-project I've been failing to get anywhere with for a couple of years: a year-by-year, month-by-month guide to Transformers history. I had the idea a few years ago in the run-up to the 40th anniversary--
gotta say that part towards the end of Not All Megatrons, an otherwise fairly level-headed multi-POV story, where it switches into Bisk's gamer POV and stays there for like three sections straight basically to the end of the story, is pure literature
lord help me, I don't like the toy, but I'm considering just keeping my Energon Hot Shot simply to have a bottom/top half for Rodimus, who's grandfathered in on account of my Unicron Trilogy TFTM collection. Still need a Cybertron Blurr...
can I just say, before TFN I was really having these moments where I was worrying that people were... getting tired of me, I guess is how I'd put it kindly? And being at the convention reaffirmed that no, y'all seem happy to have me around. Which is just really nice innit
Thank you to @wadapan.bsky.social for their UNHINGED zines, may have been one of THE highlights for me. That TF instruction booklet took me out. Really creative bit of remixing going on. Ludicrously good.
@wadapan.bsky.social · 2w agoTFNation goers! I have with me FOUR zines to give out, completely FREE! I have been terrible at offering them to people because I don't know who likes LEGO, Pokemon, or my silly comic. And also I've been having too much fun, frankly. Loads of copies of all of them so please come find me today!
in my post-TFN hibernation as always but wanted to snap a quick haul pic before tidying my room! Zines by @optimalrodimal.bsky.social, @danieladkins.bsky.social, @waspshot23.bsky.social, plus tech spec card from Cosmic Conker and a mixtape from my pal Liam!
So, even with fairly restrained spending at TFN I am now pretty much broke for the rest of the month. If anyone wants to commish me (or just chip in a bit so I can pay my bills) I'd really appreciate it. ko-fi.com/sjbroadside

Jolene@sjbroadside.bsky.social · last yr.I'm open for a variety of vector and pixel art commissions! Kamen Rider web anime renders, retro action figures and character pixels are £15 each. Transformers-style insignia (and similar) are £10 each. Emoji are £5 each (torment your friends for cheap). DM me if interested!
In the Doctor Who episode "The Beast Below", the Doctor thinks that something is wrong on Starship UK because a crying child isn't being comforted by anyone. However we have already established that Starship UK is populated by British people so this is normal

I’ve lost AOTP Sideway’s flippy faction part near the Pick of Destiny at the back of the bar. If anyone finds it, please tell me.
final call for pickup at TFNation! If there's something in the threads you'd like, you gotta let me know by the end of the day so I can chuck it in the suitcase! (Thanks for all your patience with my flogging...)
@wadapan.bsky.social · 3w agoless than a week 'til the convention! Decided to get ahead of myself by taking more pictures for eBay while it's still sunny, so hey, what the hell, here's a thread to whet your appetite
sometimes I think about what an absolutely insane method of distributing the Official Transformers Fanfiction a bunch of A4 PDFs was. Why did that happen? Was it to get away from the Fanfiction associations of text-on-a-webpage, closer to the magazine-like format of Real Media?
seemingly I never got around to posting these. I love Contract Riders so had to see these headshots in colour! Although I'm horribly out of practise... 🙊

rereading Target: 2006 ahead of the panel and I love how these narration boxes read like a Calvin & Hobbes strip. "Just a perfectly boring day of the summer holidays... UNTIL FIGHTER JETS APPEAR!!! *AND* THEY'RE ALIENS!!!"

@wadapan.bsky.social · 4w agoTFnation sales thread time! I'll be there all weekend and if you like, I can bring along some of the toys in these photos! All complete unless noted*. Reply or DM me to reserve. Make me an offer if you want several! Prices and details in the thread...
thinking about the forbidden Universe Micromasters... the ones they don't want you to know about.... Oil Pan has no credited designer on the wiki... who made you.... how deep does the rabbit hole go.....
remembering last year's TFN where @waspshot23.bsky.social got a Legacy Inferno and I was like, oh! I have this toy! Great toy! Fun transformation! And then spent fully ten minutes going "Like this. Wait, no, that's not right. Like this. Hmm. This sucks actually."
rewatched The Weak Component and I gotta say, for a stock plot about one of the heroes deciding to be a villain for a day, it's actually quite well-done? Usually that plot relies on everyone behaving wildly out of character, but instead it's well situated in terms of where the Maximals are at
since becoming a conscious adult I have always been mystified by these four clips that I've stored with my Unicron Trilogy accessories. I remember thinking they were claws for Inferno! But they're not! I think they're just bits of packaging that I came up with a use for?

They've uploaded a handy compilation of the finished Cyberworld S1 (~ 3 hours total), so now's the time to watch it if you haven't yet! Sincerely a really great little show, with proper character-drama and mystery arcs despite the goofy "Transformers Go To Fortnite" premise! youtu.be/rionylwyQ44

there's an outside chance that this could be REALLY annoying for Hilton staff so I ask for your patience and understanding if I'm a cop about it
@wadapan.bsky.social · last mo.at the stage where I'm periodically remembering the silly thing I'm bringing to TFN and chuckling to myself. Probably a really bad idea. Will be fun though!
SALES POST- Got some toys I would like to get rid of, ideally for handover at TFN, but if you're UK based and okay with paying postage I wouldn't be opposed to working something out. Both new in box Legacy Dead End- £30 AotP Brawl- £25 Open to offers, reskeets appreciated.
think it's time to admit that I just don't find Un- sets funny. When I was a teen there were a lot of things like Un- sets, American productions in geek spaces, that I sort of deluded myself into thinking I found funny, but which now in retrospect I realise I didn't. I like "Ach, Hans, Run!" I guess
