    Reimagining Quintessons

    "Five Faces of Darkness" doesn't give dates for any past events, but both "Forever is a Long Time Coming" and "War Dawn" do. Transforming was invented between nine and eleven million years ago (probably toward the middle of that range), and Cybertron hasn't been free from the Quintessons for...

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    Eh, to be a "barrier of entry" it would have to have been necessary to understanding the works it was used in, which wasn't really the case for anything except certain AVP answers. And right after the War for Cybertron series had been obsessed with putting numbers and acronyms everywhere, even...

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Star Wars: The Mandalorian)

    The previous Bump of Chicken collaboration (Sonic Blue Bumblebee)'s color was based on Chama's blue guitar, I think maybe this Optimus is trying to include the colors of all their instruments?

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    Okay, here's one that doesn't just fall back on axioms; Earthspark has it's own toyline. A toy of Earthspark Optimus Prime is not a toy of G1 Optimus Prime, and vice versa. Saying the date of publication matters more for classification than the continuity family is...like saying modern dogs...

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Star Wars: The Mandalorian)

    There have actually been several Transformers whose colors were chosen by someone they were done in collaboration with. The pastel-colored version of Binaltech Meister's colors were picked by model and actress Mayuko Iwasa. (Also there was literally only one made and it was auctioned for...

    The Hasbro equivalent of that is J Balvintron, though.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/article/2024/jul/23/hiv-aids-prevention-vaccine-lenacapavir-sunlenca-pharmaceuticals-gilead-generic-licensing They're charging a thousand times what they need to and won't allow a generic.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Another problem with the Headmasters being two characters in a version that has head-swapping is that...the large characters don't own their own faces. To me, Chromedome's head on Highbrow's body looks like it should be Chromedome. If it's not, because the head itself is Stylor, that makes...

    Reimagining Quintessons

    Yeah, but wouldn't it have been weird if we never saw any of the former, after mentioning that the Bajorans see them as their gods? Or if you're saying that DS9 (where the leader of the Bajoran religion was a recurring character) meets what you mean by "not having religion", I have no idea...

    Reasons why Grandus should be the next titan

    Oh yeah, Legends made him to scale with the tiny Aerialbots his toy came with. Which means that even his Headmaster was already bigger than Broadside was in the G1 cartoon.

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Star Wars: The Mandalorian)

    I mean, that's kind of cherry picking since it's leaving out the really good Takara ones (like Shield-D-Prime) and the "just a recolor" Hasbro ones. Hasbro's are better on average but both companies have both very good and very bad ones.

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Star Wars: The Mandalorian)

    Okay, guess now. Will the Macross 7 crossover be Jetfire or Blaster?

    Reimagining Quintessons

    Calling the G1 Quintessons "goofy Ferengi" implies that the actual Ferengi are somehow the less goofy of the two, and I don't see that.

    Transformers: EarthSpark

    Pretty sure it means "Grimock with a 'chomp & battle' feature", not that Grimlock comes with another figure named Chomp.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    I'd say the real problem here is "not being willing to support someone who isn't perfect on the preferred issue". Which is dumb when people who aren't single-issue do it too.

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    The only part of the stream system that was even related to continuity (the cluster names) was literally just an in-universe name for the continuity families the wiki was already using. And that's one of the reasons the stream system was terrible for what people wanted to use it for; the...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Can't help but notice they didn't name John McCain, who was born outside the US. Probably because he was a white dude.
