    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Personal trains (well, for the adults, anyway. That's a schoolbus in the pic), that live in your garage, run on your schedule, and go directly to your destination. The ease of public transit with the convenience of personal cars.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    I like the take on (semi-)self-driving commuter cars from Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. See those lines on the pavement? All the "landspeeders" on At Attin are basically self-guided streetcars. You input your destination and the vehicle basically auto-steers along the selected course. All the...

    I hate that I have to keep agreeing with Grok.

    . . . Tarn kinda looks cooler with the sprues still on.

    Of course, the real challenge with planes isn't just setting them down, it's getting them back up again. You can land a plane just about anywhere, once.

    I mean, BWII and BWNeo did establish that there are other Maximal/Predacon crews out there having their own adventures. Just use that.

    Aligned kinda did that with the wrecked post-apocalyptic Cybertron. Honestly, I prefer to take a page from the G1 comics and have Stuff Happen during the timeskip; Shockwave is overthrown by Trannis, who gets taken down by the Autobot resistance, then replaced with Straxus, then the Triumvirate...

    It can work, but you have to be willing to lean into the agelessness of it. The universe is over 18 billion years old; if Primus/Quintessons get started early enough there's time for multiple millennia-long generations to pass. Human history is only about 6000 years old (not even counting late...

    Storing a grenade on a hammer is somehow both a terrible idea and exactly what I would expect from the Prime-era equivalent of Wheeljack. Goddess of Creation and (unintentional) Destruction.

    On Cybertron, that distinction can get a bit blurry. (What is a hovercraft if not a very low-flying aircraft?)

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    And yet Trump will absolutely send a bill to California once this is over to pay for his the military's support.

    Ranting about quebec: newspark edition!

    In theory, the NDP are more left-leaning than the Liberals, but nobody voted for the NDP this time because we were all scared of dividing votes and letting the Conservatives win.

    A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    As Tarkin openly said: "Dantooine is far too remote to make an effective demonstration." The whole point of the Death Star was to create fear; you can't do that unless everyone knows about it.

    A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    As she said; the Rebellion needed Cassian. He was looking for an excuse to leave. If she'd told him why she was getting out, he absolutely would have gone with her --and who knows what would've happened or how many people would have died without him.

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Remember that the burn is several hundred years after the time of Picard. It's natural for civilizations to have rises and falls. Notably, the Burn is not the first time we've flirted with a post-apocalyptic series. Star Trek: Final Frontier was a planned animated series in the mid-aughts. It...
