Saw The Transformers The Movie in 4DX earlier and must say, it was an incredible experience, kudos to whoever did the setup on it.

Hot take: I want a new Superlink Rodimus toy, just strip out the combining gimmick, the design itself is fire!

PSA, be careful with Starscrean, the blue painted forearms are thinly painted and it will come off with mild abrasion. Mine was scuffed off in the box

“Be Strong enough to be gentle.” Peter Cullen tells the story of how his brother inspired the voice he would use to play Optimus Prime. It’s a simple yet poignant quote that sums up why Optimus and Peter are so beloved. Til All Are One. 💔

I'm not particularly religious, but god bless you Peter Cullen, you brought such integrity to Optimus Prime and the world would be a better place if more people would be strong enough to be gentle. Rest in peace

This was a concequenceof making a pin-up calendar because I thought the pun "Are You Ladiesman2027" was too good not to pursue, if you look up the original image, I think this poster has turned out quite accurate. Come October I'll see if I can find a way to share the calendar for home printing

Beast Wars Again Inferno replicating the "Kim Kardashian Breaks the Internet" cover, shooting fire from his fun up in the air coming down to land in a Blokees Energon cube balanced on his butt.

Every element made from scratch apart from the fire which is made from fire stock images. No Gen AI at all

HELP NEEDED! REPOSTS APPRECIATED Did you buy the Elite Guard Animated Optimus Prime from ToyFu at TFNation? If so I think you have the axe from my black version, as I have the Elite Gaurd axe. If you happen to see this then we can arrange an exchange.

Hyperdrive is now in the hands of Toy-Fu awaiting the results of the auction, had to credit ourselves at Shins if the Wreckers somewhere so the screen inside seemed perfect. Thanks to @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social. it has been a blast painting and being custodian until @tfnationltd.bsky.social

Never intended to get this printed but it is nice to have a physical copy of something I designed (designed digital version first that is set out differently) Criteria I set was that absolutely none of the "sexy" poses should be carried out using fembots

My calendar "Are You Ladiesman 2027" a parody pin-up Transformers calendar playing on Barricade's line from the 2007 movie, though no bots photographed are from the Bayverse as I only have SS Jazz

January pin-up is Missing Link Sunstreaker in a "sexy" pose

That will do, very happy to finally have a Blue Bacchus on my shelf (I refuse to pay £800 for a Pretender Shell) the Lego hose I bought to cut for it really finished the look, don't like sacrificing Lego for customs but in this case I am more than happy

Blue Bacchus made from Titans Return Highbrow and Ptero with Lego pentagon painted gold glued to his chest and a 3D printed Crossblades gun. Here stood next to Generations Deluxe Skyshadow showing similar height

British drama school training is the envy of the world and, as more film + TV jobs are moving to the UK, our drama schools are the backbone of a global industry. These cuts are artistic vandalism and economic stupidity.
