If it's a Quintesson plot it's just wholesome family entertainment.

Optimus Prime missing bits of his head and upper body, surrounded by smoke and flames. He's not having a good day. (From the "Dark Awakening" episode of the 1980s animated series in season 3. For preference the version without the "The Return of Optimus Prime" edit at the end. Yeah, traumatise kids by killing a fan favourite in the movie then bring him back as a zombie and kill him again, that's the ticket.)

Date yourself with a snap of your first ever computer. +2 pic off eBay, but I do have mine. Very simple BASIC without procedures and no easy/cheap disk options, so it was mainly games, though some educational. Non standard keyboard. Went from this to RISC OS machines a few years later.

ZX Spectrum +2 surrounded by boxed cassettes, cables, manuals and a Sinclair joystick

Got a G2 Sideswipe and a sketch book years ago, it's always nice to see crossover with interests in TFs and 2000AD and that kind of angular + solid blacks approach to robots. Definitely up there with favourites for those sorts of things such as Senior and Yaniger.

Sideswipe in a look inspired by Yaniger and other artists on Marvel US TF G2, with the chest slung ammo belt and spiked wheels. Looking a bit worse for wear with leaking fluids and embedded slugs.

Going to go with Gen X or Xennial rather than Millennial on this one (the boundary year has changed over time) and non-computer games... the original prompt was: If you see this, post a game released in the year you were born. (This was when Citadel was founded as a limited company.)

Drop an old person you’re going to turn into in the future

Diana Trent and Tom Bollard, Waiting for God (BBC sitcom). Played by Stephanie Cole and Graham Crowther. In the photo Tom looks moderately sane and Diana determined or smugly murderous. At the time Cole was considerably younger than the character she was playing.

BIC for the ubiquity and being very low friction, Fisher for something that'll keep forever in a wallet and not dry up or leak (and do for the rare occasions black ink is wanted).

Josie and the Pussycats was already picked by someone, so...

The Hex Girls, regular guest stars on Scooby Doo.

Thirty years ago Japanese Transformers cartoons were the stuff of legend in Western countries, promising amazing new characters and stories. Such as tfwiki.net/wiki/Grand_G...

Behold, Grand Galvatron! The "planet" body of the Super7 ReAction "prototype" design Unicron with the head and limbs of a knock off third party Legends scale Galvatron stuck onto it. Because reasons.

Quote with a title screen iconic to you.

Front screen from Chaos for the ZX Spectrum, written by Julian Gollop. The screen shows the game name and author followed by the immortal line "How many wizards?" No raising mounts from the dead to become unkillable, you hear?

Could do Guiltor (spelling may vary, kind of prefer this one) as well out of Blokee parts, one of the early mash-ups / "evil Convoy" storylines: tfwiki.net/wiki/Gilthor

https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Gilthor is basically Megatron legs, weapons and shoulder plates added to or replacing parts of Optimus Prime / Convoy, after an early "Transformers 2010" manga. It's a cheap and cheerful custom to do with Siege OS KOs.

It doesn't have to be by much to be closer to AM proportions does it? On Prowl filling in the cm of space under the knee joint looks pretty close since the joint is also black. Maybe wants the neck a little shorter and/or shoulders up a little, but might make that permanent (or try LEGO 3062b+4274).

Transformers comparison photos: Blokee Prowl with thighs extended with blu tac next to the power plans illustration for ActionMaster Prowl, showing that they're basically the same height and proportions with that small extension.

Probably giving Claypool a bit too much credit there. Eh, the Flame is nice but would end up removing the cel deco and weapons from Xaaron, and already have Matt's ActionMaster version plus a custom out of TR Percy and Ptero.

Emirate Xaaron customised out Titans Return Perceptor and Ptero, plus a custom ActionMaster figure by Matt Marshall (the US colours version).

Not a bad price, had to watch auctions for a while to pick up a couple of packs at about that. Like the Siege mould too, it's versatile for various characters, but the Earth alt mode is definitive.

The neck joint's tightened up from a first soak so some of it might be mould release agent. Bits of the black are going to be tricky to get off, but just being able to see the shape clearly is an improvement.

Nice one. Seems to have had terrible distribution, Amazon had it with the wrong details and from their EU warehouse, nabbed one ages ago when it was marked down a bit. Yeah, they're all a bit rubbish but I think he's the best of the pretender homages. Skullgrin looks okay with some swaps though.

Transformers Legacy Skullgrin with the demon head switched out with the head and shoulders of an original inner robot. Guns have been switched with the G2 Cybertronian trooper and the (headless) transformed original inner robot is next to the new one in flying tank mode, also with some G2 trooper guns.
