I may have been the only one to see it, but to me it stood to reason that with two combiners named "Road Caesar" and "Liokaiser", that the lead villian of Victory's name was supposed to have been parsed "Death Czarus". That train sailed a very long time ago, though. 🙃

I mean, we did call him "Giant Decepticon Soldier" rather than "Kyōdai Destron Heishi" back in the pre-AVP days. I do miss the fun non-Juniper attempts at transliterating characters that never appeared in English-language media, such as "Lard-o-Lata" and "Violin Juggler"....

All we have is a title and a date... But someone at Amazon MGM's marketing department wanted to make sure the announcement reached the right audience.

By contrast, I thought that Terminator: Salvation acquired a certain Narm Charm by having Bale use a similar voice for John Connor. (It really comes across in the teaser trailer.)

We also got this.... I'm sure the Tellarites are very confused at this point. 🙃

Well, we finally got a follow up on the Anime Boxing Debate. Alas, no cosplay, but there were some other elements....

Looking closely, it seems that Starscream's wings are flipped compared to the toy instructions and Marvel model. Probably that was done to avoid upside-down insigniae (though Marvel and Sunbow had a workaround for that...) Also, he's got a slightly different colour scheme here -- Marvel-G1 gave...

Dinosaurs, history lessons and a beauty shrine. Welcome to Fukui prefecture, as hosted by, you guessed it....

Oh come on. The memes write themselves in the AI thread, I've been diligently invoking her in the bakery thread, now The Anti-AM has to come and be mentioned here? (Actually, has anyone checked the lilmonix3 Xitter account, or has she jumped to Bluesky? )

Well, Iaconian roofs used to be more of an orange hue, before the Great War....

Omni Productions Ginrai: "I'm Optimus Prime. I'm Japanese." Chris McFeely: "Well yes, but actually no..."

Sadly, it looks to be an American event, but I believe it will be streamed. There's been no word over whether it will be in cosplay -- although it would make a nice tie-in to the Chainsaw Man movie if they did (Julia has in my opinion been the go-to Makima performer on these shores, and Stella...

So... PrimalxConvoy, do you remember talking about your girlfriend's martial prowess? I was reminded of that when I saw this post elseweb. It seems that two anime fans whose cosplays I have been showing off in the anime thread here are having themselves a competition.... (The one on the left...

Wow, that's a nice bit of crossover fun/homaging for post #200. Please thank Mighty Mollusk for finding that. (I think it's only fair, as I had the 100th post in this thread, that our primary player of the Grand Literary Saga have the 200th. It's been quite the journey for both of us.) This...

So... something of an update. Since my re-publication of the fic in question, I have received 37 views, and 6 people have put me on Author Alert. Of those, three have offered to make fanart -- using suspiciously similar wording. So, it may be that there is a fair bit of bot activity going on.
