Okay, so, we had ourselves a moving of abodes -- so that was a bit of a time. But everything is now more or less in order, and the new place looks something like a home. Work/life balance, alas, is slipping somewhat. There's been some disposal and divestment. More from my family than from...

Well, it was all too brief a run, but I liked McDonough/Patyk's run on the Dreamwave second miniseries and ongoing-for-10-issues. Aside from replacing Sunbow Shockwave with Marvel Shockwave ("Logic dictates that I am badass"), things felt very similar to the cartoon -- right down to Shrapnel's...

The blossoms are on the trees, the streets and parks and university boulevards of my city are turning pink once again. You know what that means -- I wonder if MSCHF will put out an update for Tax Heaven 3000. At any rate, here's a playthrough video I found. And from the player, this...

I wonder who Mel Brooks got to sculpt them? They weren't 3.75 scale like the Kenner SW figures of yore (George probably made that a stipulation -- yes, there was an agreement with LFL regarding the making of the film), but they didn't look something just thrown together, either.

Considering that a lot of Transformers fiction (outside of the live-action films) from mid-2002 onwards have Optimus engaged in a perpetual struggle of either Robot vs. Self or Robot vs. The Legacy of the Primes, I suspect we're seeing a fan-catharsis play out here. People think it's great...

This is where we get into the whole Ringer-style pretention of The Journal of the Whills being a notional source document for the saga we know.... Anyway, we know from multiple explanatory tomes (The New Essential Chronology, The Essential Atlas, The Essential Guide to Warfare) that humanity...

"Nothing can withstand the power of Skeletor's breakfast burrito!!"

Scott has the misfortune of being Older Than His Years (I recall that the contemporary 1990s comics run pegged the age of his 616 counterpart as "twenty-f--". Of course, Earth-616 has something of an elastic timeline, as do the rebooted Fox movies.). Burdens of team leadership and all that.

I would laugh, but....

So, I use Norton on my desktop, and AVG on my mobile -- which I usually use to post to the Allspark. Norton and CCleaner Browser had no problems going to a Tripod site, but trying to do so with Samsung Internet resulted in AVG flipping out and declaring it a malicious site. Confusing, to say the...

Has anyone else had issues with Tripod sites being declared malicious by one's browser protection software?

As I've said elsewhere, had she lived to see the film, I would have loved to ask Pauline Newstone what she thought of Michelle Yeoh's take on Airrazor. I was also sad we didn't get Transit -- but not too sad, as instead of a hi-then-die character we get some untapped story potential. Perhaps...

Happy Pi(e) day!!

This White Day, some not-just-chocolate gifts for the club members, courtesy of a Redditor with some modding skills:

I found out that fanfiction.net has a views tally function, and so I learned that 5 people (one from the UK) gave my story a look-over. Not big ratings or anything, but considering how fragmented everything seems to be these days, I will take. And, you know, it exists, and is up. Which hasn't...

Man survives being stepped on by Mobile Suit, film at 11....

So, having an opinion and expressing it humorously = spamming. Got it. 🙄 I do in fact have a rationale for my opinion, though I feel that explaining it fully would fall somewhat outside the purview of this board. That said, it's easy enough to just blame Scorponok. And that crazy EDC lady...

People keep invoking Toei-G1 and its Pack-in Liner to a Mail-Away Promo Disk of a Radio Play of Revelation, and... the reflex kicks in. An allergic reaction to cognitohazards, if you will. 🙃

Got a bit of a Scarlett Johansson vibe from that set. Which means it's probably time to talk about why we don't talk about Scarlett Johansson....
