    He's one of the more interesting guys on the forum..a jack of all trades.

    He have done TF comics on the funnies forum, custom TF work on Radicons sub-forum & as of these past few years actively involved in toys photography. He also had ties or contacts with some of the 3P oufits.

    Oh no. I’m still mourning the loss of a work friend. Half my collection is probably because of Tcracker. Will miss you.

    Don't ever think I interacted with TCracker too much, but its a loss for the community all the same. Dude rocked the photography and it was always a joy to see some of his shots in a thread, even if I just admired them from a distance.

    My deepest condolences to his family and friends

    He was such a reliable person. To lose him feels like your life has changed.

    Back after a long hiatus away from this board.

    I've had the pleasure of getting to meet him face to face after knowing him for years, not realising we were fellow countrymen (as I had been away overseas in the US for my studies).

    I regret not being able to hang out with him since then, but I hope he's at peace now.

    Rest well, friend.

    Oh no! I just saw in an unrelated thread that TCracker died. This is terrible! That man was a huge positive contributor to this site. TFW will never be the same. Huge thanks to TCracker for all he did in his life. He well be missed.

    I did not know him personally, but I always looked forward to his photos. He made any figure look awesome. My sincere condolences go out to his family and friends.

    The fact there are 22 pages for this thread means that TCracker was a great person. He will be truly missed.

    Hi everyone

    So sorry it took a while for me to respond to this thread - I'm TCracker's brother.

    I may have met some of you during his wake/funeral and I'm grateful that my brother has made such a mark within this community. I have read every single response in this thread and these testimonies is truly his legacy he has left behind. My brother has always been private when it comes to his passion for all things Transformers; and I regret that the family has never really took much attention to his time spent in these forums.

    Needless to say - I am humbled when I found out how loved he was within these forums. He loved this community and in some ways; has been his emotional support during his painful battle with cancer. The family is very proud of him and I just want to say thank you to everyone here.

    He is a good man, always putting himself before others and we miss him dearly.


    PS: I'm trying to track down all websites/social media presence my brother had. So far, I have found his Photo Vault facebook and instagram pages. I will be contacting the Admins to see if I can take over the accounts and send a thank you message to all his followers there. Do PM me if there's any other sites I may have missed out.

    My condolences to you and your family with regards to your late brother, TCracker.

    Yes, your brother was a very private individual (towards his family) with regards to his hobby.

    However, he made for a good friend and genuinely loved his hobby.

    With regards to websites that Simon may have frequent, it would probably be the FB page Planet Iacon.

    Especially, it was the first place that announced the sad news.
