It scared me!

Yes - here is more information - https://www.battleforthenet.com/

Hello?

Yeah, it's the Allspark.

Okay, so it is the allspark doing it, and not some piece of malware I need to run a system scan over, that's basically all I wanted to know.

If, say, Hillary or Bernie was president, we'd have a chance, but with the current administration... We're pretty much hugged.

I don't know why we're even bothering; there's no way in hell a GOP-controlled congress would listen to common proles like us.

Yeah, so did I.

Okay, so I just got a pop up telling me I need to call congress about the FCC killing net neutrality. Anyone else get that?

I'd probably use a primer coat on either of them.

Wonder if Overboard or Crashbash would be easier to paint over. Generally dark colors are harder but then again, screaming fuschia seems like it'd be difficult to cover too.

Damn, the shoutbox won't accept those characters. I mean "open-mid back unrounded vowel" on Wikipedia.

@Bass X0 Ha, I think some Asian accents of English, that mispronunciation would be considered standard, as those accents lack [ʌ].

She's the last thing you hear before your doom.

The cat can talk?!

TMM's first cat was Cookie b/c that's the first word he said when he saw her

Reminds me of when my nephew was one year old and my sister got him a puppy. He couldn't say puppy properly and it sounded like poppy, so Poppy is what they called her.

Yeah. I thought it had some interesting informational articles too.

does anyone else miss the ToyFare magazine? I just read it for the pictures and jokes rather than using it as a serious guide for buying and selling toys.

Uncle Bobby Peach, baby! Uncle Bobby Peach!

Last night, playing Mario Kart with my daughter, I misread Baby Peach as "Bobby Peach".

Yeah, I might've forgotten that the Beast is pretty much just a mindless killing machine. That's pretty much what I get for going off of the TFWiki summaries without having actually read any of it.

@Onyxstrike Well, to be fair, the quality of the story aside, Beast Within illustrates the fact that Dinobots are feral in nature, with what would happen if they actually lost control. That's a character flaw in a way, correct? 

Send me a PM if you need help getting to the true ending, also.

Thinking about quirky robots occupies 30% of my brain's daily processing power. I can't remember birthdays and I never know where my phone is, but it's totally worth it.

Yay, I look forward to your dealings with quirky robots!

Definitely, I started setting aside funds a month ago for the inevitable Black Friday digital sales in the Playstation and Xbox stores. Going to be ready this year, and that's one of the many games on my list!

Hey Strafe will you ever play Nier: Automata?

Plus, The Beast Within is overall not a very good story.

The problem is is that Victory's dreams are meant to prey on the Dinobot's character flaws. For instance, Grimlock downing every Decepticon in his path, but falling for Starscream's begging for mercy schtick, preys on his arrogence. What character flaws does The Beast Within prey on? Nothing. The entire premise of the book was to please the many fans who posed the many hypothetical "What if the Dinobots combined?" scenarios way back when, with a gratuitous death count to boot.

What's wrong with wanting it to be a canon dream sequence?

go home bass you are drunk

My fanon is that The Beast Within is a follow up the Marvel UK annual story Victory. In Victory, the Dinobots are trapped within a dream world, unable to wake up - each one having dreams, ending in the Dinobots having another dream then waking up in a comic issue. My fanon is that The Beast Within is their final dream that finally pushes them into waking up.

As long as that means The Beast Within is still non-canon, I'm fine with it.

When everything is canon, nothing is.

The TF multiverse is an arbitrary concept. Whatever an author thinks, goes.

Trypticon vs Deathsaurer. Make it happen!

Going by AVP, is Spider-Man and Zoids comic canon to the TF multiverse???

stop that! we shall never speak of the "Embarassment", 'lest we be punished with more like it! =]

Would the mutant heads have been on the headmasters or on the bodies (sort of like TR Galvatron's "helmet")?

Alternate reality: Beast Wars mutant heads really took off. Nearly every Transformers since '96 has featured them. The big complaint against the line-wide gimmick in TR isn't being headmasters, it's the lack of mutant heads.

Car TF molds get made all the time; bat TF molds don't. I feel like that justifies making a new Convobat from a mold configured highly unlike the original.

and yet Mindwipe is good enough to use as Convobat.

I'm okay with that.

Takara seems to have decided that the TR Chromedome mold is unsuitable for anyone else besides Chromedome.

*shrug* No 21st century (Macromaster) Nightbeat toy seems to have satisfied a decent number of people, from what I understand.

You could probably finagle a pretty good Nightbeat body from TR Chromedome, or even a heavy retool of Cogman.

Nightbeat in particular. Hasbro seems to love him.

Yeah, they seem to be exploring every possible avenue of G1 now.
