New Transformers comic by me!

Optimus - war is so violent and dangerous, look at Megatron's arm.

Wheeljack - Prime, will you stop showing us that!

(sound of doorbell) DING DONG!

Megatron - do you have my arm?

Optimus - ..no?

Mistakes have been made. Not by me, by Bega.

A supermarket shelf. Jars with yellow lids are labelled: "Bega Peanut Spread Marshmallow Raspberry Flavoured Crunchy". Below the shelf a price sticker reads "1/2 price $3, was $6 save $3. 92 cents per 100 grams".

I'm not super share-y on socials these days but I've had a wonderful time at #TFNation these past few days. Everyone has been fantastic and my soul is filled. Thanks everyone for making the experience so great, and for making Mikey feel welcome in the TFN family. ❤️

TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.

GI Joe world building question. Several of the later Cobra vehicles had odd symbols and labels in an unknown language. Did the toy designers follow any rules to make this an actual con-lang or were the symbols just randomly chosen for visual appeal?

Cobra jet pack a magenta rocket pack with gold lettering in a foreign language.

Cobra Imp packaging. A missile tank, also magenta with gold lettering. In this case the letters are just IMP in a weird font.

Cobra Condor aircraft with odd letters near the canopy.

Do you like your toy shops to feel like museums? Well, you should definitely check out Singapore's Chamber of Toys! Toy Reel visited recently and were kindly allowed to shoot video and interview our host. You are going to want to check this one out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMgw...

Hotel room is booked! See you in Aug-- no wait, July! 🕺 And I'm bringing another new Aussie - get ready to say hi to VegemiteMike (who's not on Bsky, but whose name may be familiar to Triple Takeover listeners!) There's much to do between now and then but looking forward to seeing y'all!

Couldn't figure out why nothing was progressing at Bleak Beach in Pokopia. Checked activities all over the place and then realised I hadn't shown Piplup I'd built a shower. That's a sentence I never thought I'd use!

Imagine an action figure of Chain Of Command Picard that comes with four lights, but there's an action figure of his torturer that comes with one extra light.

I'm SUPER SURPRISED after all these years to discover -NEW- (to me) Babylon 5 music by Chris Franke. It's tracks from the unreleased Into The Fire combat sim - some new mixes of familiar tracks, and some new stuff. YT Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?lis... Enjoy. I certainly am right now.

@toyhax.com Can we do something about contrast of colours on your site? Grey text on white is a little too light, and form fields should definitely not be light grey on a medium grey background. We can do better for accessibility!
