    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: stock renders of upcoming Alpha Trion, Micronus, Flatline, Fireflight, Skydive, ++

    I'm kinda surprised Heat Wave isn't based on an Optimus, given that they kept the obvious-fist-shaped kibble for his headlights.

    Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

    I remember reading The Hobbit not too long after watching TFTM in the 80s, and my take on Rodimus' worthiness was that the Matrix was basically the One Ring; it has a will of its own, and it chose to leave Optimus (how many times has he fought Megatron? And this is the first time he's been...

    Random Transformers Videos

    If that one counts as a Transformers video, then so does this masterpiece. I especially love Unicron's moment of "lipsynch" at 1:55.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Trump can just pardon anyone useful. Which means that his supporters, once they've done something illegal (and he has leverage), will need him to stay in power to protect them, so they'll support his eventual executive order to become President-For-Life.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Turns out they got around that by just not asking.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    But Zero's only a private. And I don't think he knows where Canada is.

    A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    I mean, Jod isn't a Jedi, he's just a pirate. We already know that not all criminals are bloody-minded murderers, they just do what they have to do to survive. Remember Han shooting Greedo? Hell, even Hondo had a few soft spots for people he liked, like those Jedi kids. And judging by that...

    A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    I was impressed by Fern here. She kept her head and made strategic decisions, and I like her moral observation that "even in the worst places, there are good people." That's a solid message to have in a kid-friendly show. I'm less impressed with the Republic's "help" (they just come in blasting...

    A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    That's the thing; having a tight budget means you learn how to use that budget (and how to plan ahead and use restraint), as opposed to modern "auteurs" who just throw as much CGI and lensflare at the screen as they possibly can whether or not the scene needs it (while overworking their effects...

    Dandadan/Gravity Falls crossover. A few more over here.

    Do you remember love? - The Macross Thread

    I enjoyed Frontier (though I haven't tracked down the movies). It at least has an in-universe explanation for why music saves the day; .

    A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    Okay, now I'm caught up (couldn't watch over the holidays). Loving it so far. Loved SM-33's Very Satisfying Punch (which kinda gave the lie to Fern's earlier comment that droids can only do what you tell them to --33 was clearly looking for an excuse). And Jod is a fascinating kind of villain...

    Anime

    Not sure what's on Crunchyroll these days, but Best places to start with Gundam (IMHO) are the "side-universes" (i.e., the things not directly connected to the original continuity/timeline). Gundam 00 is about a band of terrorists/revolutionaries with advanced technology trying to bring about...

    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: stock renders of upcoming Alpha Trion, Micronus, Flatline, Fireflight, Skydive, ++

    This is a thing that constantly bugs me as an editor (my day job) because everyone seems to do it (often in medical/legal contexts where clarity is really important). When making a list, a good rule of thumb is to arrange items by length/number of words. So "Goldbug" (one word) would logically...
