Given how often 3P companies make not-Springer and not-Constructicons, I'm going to conclude that green plastic is the easiest to come by. #Transformers Crossposted with @openvibe.social

While I was out at the weekend, I saw mixed-gender teams of teenagers happily playing organised football. The TERFs assured us that if that occurred, this would happen:

Questions comparing my read on #Transformers: The Movie in 1986 and 2026. Did you think Optimus literally turned grey or it was just artistic licence, symbolising his end? (1/3)

This is the sort of thing people say to ask of AI but bollocks to that. I like the fleshy people better. This is my (currently short) Getting Ready playlist. In the vibe of what's already there and what it's for, what do you think would make suitable additions? music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Not even I can think up a way to crowbar DeskBots into it being #WorldBreastfeedingMonth, so...uh...here's some Seekers. (Morose Dirge, doubtful Thundercracker, robust Ramjet, clever Acid Storm, wily Slipstream, sneaky Skywarp, ambitious Starscream, rowdy Thrust.) Crossposted with @openvibe.social

Today is #NationalSoccerDay, so our DeskBot is Krok, renowned mecha-soccer star from way back. That's right, Cybertron has its own football league, with teams such as Polyhex City, Terrorcons Ununited, Throttlebot Wanderers and Technobots Wednesday. #Transformers Crossposted with @openvibe.social

Today's Desk-Bot is inspired by it being World UFO Day. Meet Cosmos! This Autobot flying saucer enjoys his surveillance duties, but he does get lonely out in space. Sometimes he sounds like Peter Lorre, sometimes he sounds like Weird Al, sometimes he's a girl. Crossposted with @openvibe.social

Who is today's Desk-Bot and fidget tool for National Firefighters' Day? It's Artfire!This patient Autobot is well-equipped for extraction and extinguishing. His li'l partner is Nightstick,* who transforms into a space beam gun. No idea what that is, no doubt it's also handy for putting out fires.

My Desk-Bot for World Press Freedom Day is Slamdance. This journalist is the combined form of audio correspondent Grand Slam and visual correspondent Raindance. Though I imagine a journalist covering the Cybertronian War while wearing a huge Autobot crest might come over as a little bit biased.

Today is Big Words Day. And today's Desk-Bot loves using big words to show he's smarter than you. Being better than you is such a stress on poor Highbrow, you don't know the struggle of being surrounded by fools as he is. #Transformers

Yesterday, my housemates asked about Transformers with more than one alt-mode and #Transformers who were trains. Then it's only appropriate that today we're joined by the Triple Changer Astrotrain. A master of combat confusion who dreams of leadership but tends to serve as the Decepticon space bus.

15 April is That Sucks! Day. And today's Desk-Bot, the despondent Decepticon Dead End, indeed knows that sucks. Everything does. And if the whole world weren't terrible enough, the heat death of the universe is only a few zillion years away. Chin up, Dead End. At least you got a cool racing stripe.

Happy International Women's Day! Look at today's Desk-Bots. Once upon a time, female #Transformers were scant. Pretty much Arcee and a few one-episode wonders. Now it's a different story, as seen by the cross-faction crowd here. And this is far from all of them! (How many can *you* name?)

Give or take a time zone, it's Fun Facts About Names Day. For example, did you know that today's Desk-Bot, Ratchet, was named after Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest? He was even planned to be a female character before Hasbro got a whiff of girl germs and told the writer not to.

One of the issues with latter-day #Batman stories is that they try to present putting on a costume to fight crime as a fundamentally unhealthy way to deal with his issues while he lives in a world where thousands of stable people do the same thing on the regular.

It's #GreenWeek and #EngineersWeek, so what better time for the Desk-Bots to be those green engineers, the Constructicons? Eccentric Mixmaster, put-upon Long Haul, snooty Hook, confident leader Scrapper, brash Bonecrusher, expressive defector Hauler and low-self-esteem Scavenger. #Transformers

If you were in Toronto on 12 February 1973, you may have witnessed the birth of Tara Charendorff, later Tara Strong, who turns 53 today! She's done an awful lot of acting, including providing the voice for today's Desk-Bot, Slipstream! #Transformers

Is a secret identity a kind of lying? Is #Superman a hypocrite because his motto is 'truth and justice' while he spends most of his day pretending not to be Superman? ('Course, there are plenty of ways in which a secret identity may be practical or justified, regardless of veracity or mendacity.)
