So this meme about cosplay and convention culture has been making the rounds on Tiktok and the Tube of You. Lots of different walks to the same tune, but you get the idea.

Last time I had a five year plan... It didn't go well. At all. Within the first year, I had lost -- or had taken from me -- almost everything I cared for. That was a long time ago, mind, and I'm much better now, but yeah, for a good while afterwards I remained more than a little leery of medium...

In Darth Bane: Path of Destruction (now relegated to Legends continuity, but bear with me), Drew Karpeshyn attempts to square the circle by suggesting (as he did in the Knights of the Old Republic computer game) that Revan intially came up with the Rule of Two, and Bane latched onto it after...

Unique, yes. Historical, well, it doesn't have precedence (which is what I assume you mean) compared to the Danelaw derived from the 865 Viking Invasions of England and eventually bundled into Cnut's North Sea Empire, true. All the same, it is rooted in the...

Ah yes, DK's Ultimate Guide was sort of "Aligned before Aligned" in that respect. 😄 We did also have the bookend "future glimpse" story to Dreamwave-G1's character guidebooks, which gave us a slightly different Golden Disk being taken by a certain Predacon....

Sunbow-G1 casts a long shadow, much as Furman does: though the first is probably more over general audiences and the second over the fandom. Certainly a lot of folks in my school-age 'danelaw* thought that the cartoon's relegation to early-Saturday reruns on a US independent channel meant that...

Which is where Getaway, straw mech that he might have been, did have a point. Might have sold that point better if he hadn't left a bunch of Autobots to die under the well-known lack-of-mercies of the DJD, but there we are. Which is where Roberts and Raksha part ways, as Megatron willingly...

It's all Shockwave's fault. ...What? It usually is in other continuities, and he did have the Chronosphere in Sunbow-G1....

When you put it that way, it seems more fitting for his copy to do that.... Unless there was another act to "Forever is a Long Time Coming" we didn't see, or something. Say, where was Brainstorm during that episode....?

DDLC but Yuri can't communicate:

I'm surprised that this song didn't come up before. Well, here's a Transformers connection, because someone was crazy enough to try:

I was indeed referring to Tigerchest et al. As they form armour plate it makes more sense to me to call the Breastars "Armorizers" in a modern line, rather than the Infernac Universe crew, but so it goes. 🙃

As above, I read that formula in regards to Cybertron Metroplex, though it was unclear to me at the time if he was comparing the character to G1 Metroplex and finding him wanting, or if he was comparing the Legacy toy to the Cybertron toy and finding that wanting. The latter is what I inferred...

One for "work-life balance being out of whack", then, as I've only ever seen these guys out of the boxes posed for various things. And I haven't been able to justify toy shopping, local or online, in some time either. But that's as may be. Now, if "Not-supposed-to-be-Gobots-Rock-Lords" are...

See, I didn't even know there was a collective name for the subline (infraline? microline?) besides the aforementioned home stream. Which speaks either to my work-life balance being way too tilted or a failure of Hasbro marketing, take your pick. I will say that over on the Mayhem Bakery...

Remembering Cybertron Metroplex, perhaps not, but in this particular case I was inclined to view the shorthand moniker through the filter of "Hasbro is reluctant to call these characters GoBots Rock Lords" as opposed to "I don't think these are as good as GoBots Rock Lords". While punny, I was...

It's a bit more succinct than "We-Aren't-Sure-If-WB-Will-Let-Us-Call-Them-Rock-Lords-And-Anyway-The-Inferniac-Universe-Is-Not-A-Gargent-Stream"....

I had Lincoln Project recaps suggested to me by the Tube of You, though that may not be the publicity the convention was hoping for....

Let's mix things up a bit.... Here's some progressive house to wake tec up!
