My fandom has come full circle to when I first started liking this stuff at age 9: I'm in it for the fiction, not so much the toys. Of course, some of that is now because I can't really justify spending money on and then finding space for toys, but even so....

Club group shot! This should get more members.... (Art by mitarou_sk, posted on Querxes' YouTube community board)

I suspect a fair number of fanboys would be happy if they just had Monika.... (Though they way all the news reports keep setting up the references, I would have thought I'd get more traction invoking her here, as I do....)

Hmmm. Well, they may want to remind us that they are toys, not statues, and should be played with. In a Kinetic, Imaginative, Shared Simulation. Which would make us--

If ever there was a time to invoke his Scream Heard Around The Galaxy.... ...and silent, as is fitting. Though I'm sure we all remembered it.

I have a feeling that [someone] would like to know your location....

Strange New Worlds blamed a group of Romulans for changes made to the early 21st century, apparently they were more involved in the Temporal Cold War than the Berman era let on....

No, SG Drift's own article suggests the same thing, though it's unclear if that trend was intentional or coincidental. Earlier iterations of TFWiki certainly felt that "outlandish samurai stereotype as portrayed by a stereotypical weaboo" matched how G1 Drift was originally written by Shane...

Well, that's a tricky thing to play with....

Oddly enough, as I quoted from TFWiki above, as far as Hasbro is concerned Optimus Prime is Optimus Prime, even when he's Ginrai (who is, of course, Optimus Prime and Japanese ;)). A general information source such as Wikipedia might well feel similar, obviously TFWiki can't and shouldn't have...

Well, you've certainly replicated the feel of the AVP columns! :LOL: Hm. I wonder if the "Vitalix" cluster (as I'm styling it) would be The One Where The Thirteen Posed As The Olympic Pantheon? Considering that in other Transformers universes you can't launch a dead turbofox from Cybertron but...

For my part, I'd like to know if Hyperdrive was always meant to be his own character, or (as one fan theory has it) was an early design for what would become Thunderclash that got scaled down and renamed as Toei-G1 entered its Dying Days and Hasbro's European divisions were unwilling to commit...

There's certainly a lot to consider here.... enough to invoke the multi-quote function! First, a confession: As the fan who came up with the add-ons to make a designation like "Quadwal [1.38e10.0] Theta" to refer to our own universe (not to be confused with TFWiki's Quadwal -3975.925 Theta...

Another back to school post for our club members, courtesy of the r/DDLC subreddit:

Star Wars fandom had a similar thing, which is (thanks to a helpful talk show host) how we got "Conan Antonio Motti" as the full name of the Rear Admiral choked by Vader in A New Hope. He was one of the few remaining prominent Imperials to not have a full name, Conan O'Brien asked about him...

I mean, the current Neo-G1 and Legacy pushes are sort of keeping it going, but then you have something like BotBots.... My initial concern, back in '22, was more that TFWiki and related not-official-but-with-clout groups were treating the system as an Old Shame, and I couldn't fathom why. But...

They can.... but as you point out, that isn't a universally applicable rule. (So to speak.) Going back to my Star Wars example, Lukas 577.25 Delta (feature films), Lukas 197.31 Delta (Special Edition re-releases), and Lukas 904.21 Delta (DVD re-releases) could be considered virtually identical...

I am just so happy that I could kickstart a topical conversation here. 😁 Anyway, had to add a bit regarding the structure we currently have, if a bit neglected. I don't claim to be among the smartest of the fandom -- if I was, I'd have known better about whom to trust 26 years ago, for example...

"Arcee, what do you hear?" "Nothing but the rain...."

Sadly, RotB Airazor was never in robot mode in the film itself. Still, we organics are still able to appreciate the voice. And the woman behind the voice, well. I do still remember that back in the Beast Era, my girlfriend and I went to see Tomorrow Never Dies, and she covered my eyes when...
