MMC seem to have the most reasonable themes, and the stuff they do is more well thought out for retooling and repaints so hopefully it’s a sustainable business model, and there stuff impresses me a lot.

 

"No escape for long, Arcana! Brainstorm already I have, and soon you too!"

- The Transformers S04E09: 'First Principals' (3/5)

(apologies for no responses yesterday. I'll try to catch up this afternoon if I can. Particularly bad of me to stir up Brainstorm Discourse and run, but suffice to say everyone is wrong but me, also I'm very handsome)

 

As has been noted elsewhere, a number of the "nominees" listed are already Hall Of Famers, case in point Mister D was inducted in on the 2010 vote, and Blackarachnia who I plumped for was also voted in in the 2018 vote which I had totally forgotten (some stuff has happened between 2018 and now, yeah?), so, yeah, not a clue what Hasbro are doing here besides cocking up? Are they rebooting the Hall of Fame or summink?

 

#Deskbot of the day is SS54 Megatron.

Do I like it more than the Rotf or TLK versions? No.

Do I like it? Mainly for the alt mode.

Am I glad I recently discovered he can hold APC Meg's sword and CW Cyclonus' gun? Mostly.

Am I recycling yesterday's joke? FUCK YEAH! *PEW PEW*

 

I suspect #give-the-job-to-the-intern11723 may have played a role in it's completely clueless selection. Also Windows 97.

 

My inner cynic says they're just doing a quick popularity poll to have some 'content filler' for pulsecon. Can't spend the whole time talking about shitting free to play loot box traps.

Maybe one of their 'celebs' pulled out. It does feel a bit ramshackle.

 

Not Taboo, tell me it isn't Taboo!

I was gonna get drunk when he was on! Now I'll have to get drunk because he isn't!

 

We can only pray now....

 

Today's bout of Curb Your Enthusiasm level bad timing: being sat in the waiting area of maternity care with the wife waiting on a checkup and on the waiting room TV is Lorraine talking about miscarriage.....

Given that they thought Star Saber was the “first” canon Japanese character they had released in toy form, maybe they are trying their own version of the “New 52”?   

 

Shame to see Brian goldener has died. Rip purveyor of awesome toys.

 

Ooh, that's me birthday! I may be in some sort of minority looking forward to that. Revelation, not my birthday. Though the statement is true for both.

I felt that! Needless to say, but still worth saying, I really hope the results of the check up are all clear and positive!

"I don't belong here! I'm not one of them!"
"Prime, we can make a deal!"
"Optimus- a word, perhaps?"
"Oh, please."
From 'The Death of Optimus Prime'
