This, I appreciate all the more.

I read it as tapping into the reaction video genre and the vlog genre to set the scene, which is basically the 2020s equivalent of the classic spinning/zooming-in newspaper device. The former helps sell the notion that the movie and the brand are still being enjoyed by new audiences who react...

Still hoping for better pictures to talk myself into trying this Astrotrain, if only for the more cohesive altmodes (I like a lot about the WFC mold but it's lousy with stegeing and the back half of that shuttle is rough as heck). This at least has the chest panels the correct way. But this...

Marking the occasion from a simpler time.

Yup, that's why.

I mean, it's an anniversary year, so we were going to get the usual milking no matter what. I guess people just appreciate a slightly different flavor of nostalgia bait. And in these smoggy geosociopolitical times, we're in dire need of something to laugh at. And sure, the people who don't get...

Ehh, I always felt like it meandered after Optimus and Megatron died. I'd buy into the sense of desperation if it were able to sink in, which it wasn't (aside from some lines of dialogue) because what followed was ooh, a weird new planet, ooh, another weird new planet, let's do a Bollywood...

I miss this era of fans writing articles. Text-based discussion of all things Transformers. Robert Powers, Robert Jung, and Dave van Domelen were among the ones whose work I deep-dived when I was getting back into things around BW/BM, and backreading these and the newsgroup threads was a lot of...

Unironically, I wish Ron Friedman had lived to see this and maybe even have a bit of fun participating. (Obviously really to mainly be with his loved ones for that much longer, not solely for this.)

"The Transformers The Movie The Apology Tour: The Apology Tour"

Pretty sure this is Hasbro just having a bit of fun by leaning into what's become an indelible part of the brand's history. There's some humor in finally, belatedly, shifting from just rah rah celebrating the movie to acknowledging that oh yeah, that's also where THAT happened, and putting...

I've always thought this too. Commander class would I think be comfortable for a PMOP. The frame system is basically made for it. Apex Bomber What Bombs At Apex is perfect for the Weaponizer style. Leader class has done chonky and parts-laden before. Should be enough for a big chestplate...

I'm almost certainly wrong about this, but it sounds like I've heard it elsewhere, and every time I think it's Chris Parnell, which it almost certainly is not.

"WORK FRIENDS? You've been INSIDE me."

YOU GOT THE TOSCHE

In Lessons Swiftly Learned And Never (Or Repeatedly) Forgotten news, the 40th anniversary of the 1986 The Transformers: The Movie is under way, and Hasbro has decided to celebrate it in a unique, and perhaps appropriate, way. Bitter children of the 80s Fans everywhere may be delighted to...

No, no, this is a Transformers board. The Convertors board is a couple blocks that way.
