Oof. Yeah, I got mixed up in that conversation. I do really like the Transmetal Cheetor version, too. (Edited for spelling, 'cause honest to God I didn't mean to type Cheetos in there...)

Or Cybertron Snarl? (If it wasn't for Dragontail's stories I wouldn't remember that one at all.)

I bought two of these - I wanted to sticker one up like Alternators Smokescreen, but that has yet to happen. (Reprolabels hasn't created a way to do it yet, and I haven't gone to a hobby shop to see what else is available.) So for now, I have my very own Transformers version of Fred and...

If this is all some sort of prank, are all of our responses going to end up in a YouTube video?

Seems about right.

"By virtue of not being born" Oh, that hurts. I'd shake my cane at you, but I can't remember where I put the blasted thing.

...quoted solely because "Gizmo-verse" sounds cool.

I remember this guy - I also remember everyone's avatar being half-covered by his picture on April Fools one year. Fun story, and it's cool to hear about his non-profit work, too.

It'd be hard to have an "original" way of starting it, really, unless they go the Earthspark route and go "Kinda like that other series, but with a twist." (possibly like the Wings of Honor approach? I didn't read those, so I don't know for sure if that's a relevant example.) Any new comic...

Actually . . . I didn't see TF:TM in theaters. I saw Five Faces of Darkness when it was broadcast, and thought it was the theatrical release broken into episode-length chunks until we rented the actual movie almost a year later. I remember being a continuity nut when I was a kid, so it probably...

I'm sorry for your loss, Fnu.

Awesome! I remember reading this when it was posted the first time around. It isn't a dry rough draft, there was plenty of snark like "The origin of the Transformers is a debate best left to scientists, theologians and internet fan geeks."

First place I saw the name Primelock: https://www.eyrie.org/~dvandom/BW/Fanfic/Sunset (Hope that link works right, things go weird with my phone sometimes.) And - reading through this thread resulted in a deep dive looking for Tobots that didn't cost an arm and a leg.

The "KO-nstructicons" look fun. I'm curious, especially if the plastic quality and the pose-ability is okay.

Dorky. Definitely not dignified.

I can totally picture him cackling and riding around in circles on that scooter!

"Triple Z Point" . . . I've never heard of that, so it's another thing to research. To the wiki!

I'll second that. It's cool to look back and see this part of the franchise history - thanks for all your work on this. It's also cool to see the connection to Dune, and how there was a a case of "huh, the idea doesn't quite fit there, we'll tweak it and use it somewhere else . . . " And - it...

I was going to ask how the gun show went - that's scary.

This guy was at the bottom of my stocking on Christmas - my grandson and I each got the same one. Mine will likely end up in the toy bin we have for him here after a while, because he took his home. (Actually, his parents did, because he's 2, and he had more fun taking paper back out of the...
