Cleaning up a very, very old pile of papers from a desk drawer at work and found these doodles for a theoretical wave of the old Tiny Turbo Changers. No idea why I did this, or when, but John Hasbro should still make some of these

At least in alt mode, I think MP-28 still reigns supreme. Bot mode, maybe not so much. Damn shame about the yellow paint they were using in 2016/7 though

Saw a thing going around that struck my fancy. This one is "mecha only but without Transformers" which, in hindsight, I probably should have excluded Gundam from too since it took up so much of it. Ah well. Btw, Fumoffu is standing in for FMP as a whole

I very much appreciate it when 3P character bios aren't taken seriously at all, even if the legally distinct names make me feel like I'm having a stroke

Back of the box of Fans Toys FT-63 Turbo, an unlicensed version of Transformers Windcharger, that reads "Turbo might seem like another forgettable
throwaway Motobot. He never got an arc
episode. What minimal screen time he got he shared
with derpy yellow beetles or brawny military
vehicles. But Turbo's '84 figure was the first
converting robot this bio writer owned. So yeah, he's
awesome. Fight me.

First off, in blazing red muscle car mode he's the
fastest Motobot on the ground. Zero to sixty almost
instantly. And his power? Terrifying. His arms are a
massive electromagnet strong enough to lift 10 tons
irom hundreds of feet away. His enemies are made
of metal. Think about that. He'll rip Hereticons apart.
Plus, he's a freakin' hero. Whose rear end did he pull
out of that chasm? Yep. That derpy yellow beetle
everyone loves.

They did Turbo dirty. They ignored possibly the
greatest Motobot of all time, then killed him
unceremoniously offscreen. Treated him like scrap.
In a feature-length movie where he could have been
the hero. Screw Hoodlum! Turbo should have had
the touch!"
