    The Random Transformers Image Thread

    I don't know about Captain Planet himself (though back in the G2 days I wondered "what if Beachcomber met the Planeteers?"), but I don't doubt that "the spirit of the Earth" would no doubt want to have a long talk with Primus about all the ships and items being fired off of his world and...

    "Welcome to the Literature Club! 💓"

    Although Katawa Shoujo and Doki Doki Literature Club! were both created using Ren'Py, the latter seems to be a lot easier to modify. Also, KS doesn't use .chr files (which are more of a mechanical convenience for DDLC than anything else). Still, if is right and DDLC is a cursed game (as she...

    Star Trek General Discussion

    While the writing for seasons 3 and 4 of Enterprise really knocked it out of the park -- to the relief of those of us who stuck through a largely lackluster second season while everyone else spoke of "franchise fatigue" -- I will never understand the "bright" idea of reworking the theme to make...

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    Well, the Exodus novel does state that the earliest entries in the Covenant of Primus were written in long-dead languages untranslatable by the time of Orion Pax, so that idea would track....

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    Oh... was he part of Hot Rod's crew? I think there was an small orange Autobot in some of the cover group shots....

    "Welcome to the Literature Club! 💓"

    I found a playthrough of KS that didn't have overlaid commentary on it. I won't spoil the whole game, but the intro and opening credits are.... well.... It's a very different game than DDLC in many respects, but one sees, perhaps, what a "vanilla" DDLC could be. After all, if there's one...

    Transformers: EarthSpark

    Don't forget the Sunbow classic of "abandon all cover and run at the enemy in a group while firing", which even the last novel of the Keepers trilogy felt compelled to hang a lampshade on....

    Transformers: EarthSpark

    Also too, while Marvel (on both sides of the Atlantic) loved the idea of Decepticon fragmentation, the idea of the Liege Maximo with a bigger empire in the wings.... hasn't really gone very far in most official writings. (Even RG1 Jhiaxus was basically His Own Show.) Contact with Nebulos and...

    Ummm…. WHAT THE EFF??!

    I admit that I've only seen parts of that film, but the reunion scene between Sarah and "Carl" is powerfully acted. I suspect that a lot of people could not get past the initial premise, which admittedly read like James Cameron brandishing an upraised middle finger to the fandom. That said...

    Ummm…. WHAT THE EFF??!

    ...the first one and Salvation? I mean, if I was forced to choose. Of course, then the re-use of Guns and Roses would make little sense.... But I liked Salvation, damnit. Even the part that shouldn't work at all -- John Connor with Batman's voice -- gives it a certain Narm Charm. 🙃

    Transformers: The Basics

    Alas, I didn't take the opportunity to record direct quotes, but the Earth Wars game has had over its long storyline some instances of post-Shroud dimension-hopping (which is how one is able to acquire Laser Rod Optimus and Armada Megatron, as well as Tonbot from an alternate Beast Wars). The...

    Transformers: EarthSpark

    I suppose since Cybertronian mechafauna have been intermittently a thing since the Sunbow cartoon and Budiansky's "atechnogenesis" origin (back in Marvel #1 of 4), one could conceivably have a whole taxonomic scheme in parallel of Terran cladistics. The Grand Cybertronian Taxonomy, alas, had...
