[Cybersnark]

Didn't have time to set this up yesterday, sorry.

From the Cyberworld thread:

Maybe we'll see a Cyberworld display blocked by a bald man in a suit.

And again (I hope this works):

Transformers: Cybertronworldverse Missions: Robots in Disguise & Knuckles

Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series

from the Wildocking thread:

Ignite Leo

-ZacWilliam, that's his name, not a directive.

From the random image thread:

Meh, it could be worse.

Biblically accurate angel.

BE NOT A NOOB.

From the Wildocking thread:

It's not an anecdote, it's a small-batch, hand-crafted artisanal data point.

From the the TF Pic thread:

"Dude, you turn into a city! You have to have at least three McDonald's locations inside you!"

*points to the three spots on his body*
"Sir, these are all Wendy's."

From the Internet thread:

Godzilla is stomping towards the mayors office...

He's... stopped?

He's serving papers!?!?!?

From the Collaborative thread:

I don't know if it's Collaborative or just cross merchandising, but I find it fascinating that with the fruit snacks, the cereal, and the perfume of all things, you can not only know what your favorite character turns into, but also what they might taste and smell like, too.

At what point did the fandom change from 'uncommonly dedicated' to 'disturbingly obsessed'?

 

[Cybersnark]

From when Doncropolis invented Corporate Megatron:

I think I may have rented the wrong "Interview with a Vampire."

From the repaint thread:

I love Grimceptor, and I like to think that it's Perceptor doing research on the day-to-day lives of the Dinobots. By painting himself in their color scheme, they are completely oblivious to the intruder.

From the directionless AotP thread:

Another from the picture thread:

Megatron: You like the Knights of Unicron?

Sentinel Prime: Um, they're okay.

Megatron: Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Purple Energon came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. They've been compared to Cold Slither, but I think the Knights of Unicron have a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

Sentinel Prime: Hey, Megatron?

Megatron: Yes, Sentinel?

Sentinel Prime: Why are there copies of the Miner's Voice all over the place? Do you... Do you have a turbofox? A little cyberhound or something?

Megatron: No, Sentinel.

Sentinel Prime: Is that a fusion cannon?

Megatron: Yes, it is! In '87, the Knights released this; Cybertronian Democracy, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Bot out of Chaar." A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should! Because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey, Sentinel!

and another:

"This is altmode appropriation!"

 

[Cybersnark]

From that time Pat Lee got hired to do more Transformers art:

Given his history, it would not surprise me at all if this "art" wasn't just Ai-generated in his style.

Should be easy enough to tell. Just look for unnatural proportions........wait.......

Well, maybe awkwardly drawn hands.........er......

How about a commonly reused pose that an AI could easily copy.........uh......

Excessive greebly detail that makes no sense.........dammit......

Uh......jive.

People will complain, and rightfully so, but if it's a choice between Pat Lee getting a paid gig related to Transformers again, or AI art being used, well...they might be able to justify it.

Hmm... so the proposed choice is either an overhyped prospect with no talent that exploits the works of others to look good while avoiding paying people who perform the same function better a living wage, or AI.

Tough call.

From the AotP thread:

If I ever can get this I am putting Swindle's arm gun on the truck and using any ports on the trailer for the guns from the old Accessory Pack and call it a kiosk. Especially if Onslaught doesn't have his own.

Edit: Oops, may not be an option...for some reason his ports are odd rectangles, NOT 5mm ports. Figures Swindle worked out some proprietary connection to lock in customers...

From the picture thread:

Omega Prime’s pretty much perfect aside from the wonky hands on everyone but base form Optimus. I hated the dull lavender on only the last two segments of the sword though. I treated this thing with iridescent paint but it’s pretty much impossible to see on camera. All it does is make it look oddly rough lol.

"Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me, the day I held aloft my magic sword and said 'This is a lot harder to photograph than I had expected'..."

From the repaint thread:

Retool Dracula into Morbius, Hasbro. It will definitely sell one Morbillion units unless everyone is busy the weekend you release it.

From the pic thread:

"Do the people love me, Dillo?"

"It appears they tolerate you, sir."

"Marvellous."

and again:

Random - but I managed to find a way to securely store all the Stunticons onto Motormaster’s trailer.

And yes, they are stored SECURELY, cus here’s the whole frikin thing being held upside-down

View attachment 33095

And nope, I didn’t use any additional special parts, but I did cheat ever-so-slightly with using some of their weapons ports to connect some of them together.

"Optimus Prime is dead, so now I have to outdo Ultra Magnus instead! I'll show him! I'll show Galvatron! I'll show everyone!"

"...aww, nuts."

 

[Cybersnark]

From the Studio Series thread:

If you ever feel like you've blown an opportunity beyond recovery or that you're not improving at all at what you do, remember that Pat Lee is getting hired to draw official Transformers art again.

Believe in yourself.

Thanks, Grok!

From P&R Funnies:

TechBro company names are quickly approaching "Doofenschmirtz Evil, Inc." levels of subtlety (and without the catchy jingle).

 

[Cybersnark]

Sorry about the multi-post, I can never remember what the quote limit is.

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Sorry about the multi-post, I can never remember what the quote limit is.

It's fine. It's for a good cause.

Especially when mine are included. Then it's a great cause.

I finally got the DNA Fort Max upgrade kits. I could really stand to skip much of them, but the new hip ratchets just make him so much more dynamic! I also like the extra hip and hand guns.

With that done, I had to update my main display case. I'll be greatly looking forward to getting AotP Star Convoy and not having to fight the GS version's star and his floppy ankles anymore. I would also love to get new versions of Ginrai and Dai Atlas. The current ones can look nice enough, but I hate handling them.

I like how casually Unicron is pushing the sword aside. He's like "nah bro."

And Vector Prime in the background like "What in the Pit did I just walk into?"

This is why he's calling in the rest of the Thirteen!

"God? It's me. Send in the whole squad, we've got a problem.....What? Yes, even Judastron, it's that serious."

"Bring the Wheaties for Star Convoy."

 

[lastmaximal]

It's fine. It's for a good cause.

Especially when mine are included. Then it's a great cause.

Indeed!

 

[Donocropolis]

Every year I swear I'm going to keep track of these over the course of the year, and every year I fail. Everything is crazy right now (work is unusually insanely busy plus the holidays), but I will get up some of my favorites! This is my promise to all of you.

 

[Caldwin]

We used to be able to sort posts by those we game "likes" to. I always used that to gather my list. But now that we can't do that....
