I placed my response in the Taxonomy thread, in an attempt to mitigate topic drift. Anyway, we probably won't get recolours of these molds, because Same 4 Evergreen Characters, but Evil Eagle Starscream getting a Skywarp recolour leads to the possibility of a PR crossover....

I moved a response from the recent Timelines sub-toyline discussion over to here to mitigate thread drift. Technically, AVP's analysis was more along the lines of "The Chronarchitect performed emergency surgery on a damaged universe when the local Cybertron was blown up." As Sabrblade points...

Multiquote time! Thanks to CloudFlare, I missed a lot, but I'm catching up. Some of this, to be fair, goes back to Andrew Cartmel's Master Plan, back when Sylvester McCoy was still on screen in the late 1980s fighting a losing battle against Coronation Street in the ratings. His plan (to have...

Well, it was inevitable that one time-travelling Shockwave would be thwarted by another time-travelling Shockwave. ...and that's why the Maximal Imperium interdicted Earth. Now, where did I put that Beast Machine Episode Generator.... got it off of 3S...

You don't remember the massive continuity headache that resulted when an American Beast Era name reuse got tied into the Headmasters anime, and then Chip Chase was used to fix it in a callback to the original cartoon? 😅

Because "Whirl" worked better with the altmode?

Granted, but at least the tinfoil-hatters that I run into on the Book of Faces are willing to make falsifiable statements about their pet causes That They Were Right About All Along, Oh You'll See. Then one has to figure out if it's worth the effort to pierce their echo chamber to actually show...

...can he name three that he thinks "turned out to be true?"

"What could have been" is a bit of a beaten-up horse in speculative fiction circles these days, but I admit I used to be a big fan of Harry Turtledove's works in that field. Since Wheelie was slated to be the new kid-appeal character, Bumblebee (who looks up to Optimus) might have been an...

DDLC but :

Well,in all fairness, it wasn't MG-Dinobot's fault that he was obliged to translate his script from (Quebecois?) French to English. He appeared to have done so word-by-word rather than with an eye to grammar or sentence cohesion, but if he hadn't... Well, the World's Worst Fanfics brought me...

"Died to an hero." Fandom is nothing without its traditions, after all. ;)

Well, once we get the reflexive stances on a debate from early 1987 out of the way, this actually leads to a more intriguing deviation than the one that IDW published. Think about it. Unicron is presumably still on his way, Optimus has no particular reason to think that he will be the One able...

Well, they do stubbornly refuse to call it "Gulf of America", so....

I wasn't really sure where to put this, as it's not animated, but Parasyte (the manga and anime) got a live action spin-off on Netflix. I recently got the chance to watch the 6-episode miniseries in full. It is not a remake, rather it shows concurrent events happening in South Korea. It does...

Almost 3 years ago now, back on page 11, tec wrote: Well, it finally came to pass 3 years later, but not at my prompting. I just found it on PixAI, looking for something to start the spooky month off. But for AI creations, it seems most fitting. Timing's good too, considering a recent movie...

Yesterday, without fanfare, two cosplayers that I didn't expect to see working together again (for a bunch of reasons) dropped a collaboration video. Who knows if this is a one-off or not, but seeing their dynamic one more time did indeed make me happy. I posted it in the Anime thread, for the...

Okay, I apologize in advance for all the cosplay cringe that you are about to witness.... I just never thought that I'd see these two collaborate again, so I thought I'd share Early Cosplay Christmas with the board. Chainsaw Man fans, Jujutsu Kaisen fans.... this one's for you. And, you know...

Well, what a long strange trip this bakery has had.... It started as showing off impractical fiction, and while there's still some of that here and there, we often get real discussions -- sometimes even without makeup! Which leads us to Miley's latest friend meetup and drinking session at an...

Of course, some people come up with their own solutions anyway....
