I’ve been watching the Max Headroom show over the last week here.

Jesus, for a show made in the late 80s? Dehumanization, lying AIs, governments being relegated to ratings, run by greedy corporations, lazy police, twisted religions…

The themes there hit WAY too fucking real for today’s hellscape.

(Of course they could bend, but it’d be one big piece like Bumblebee.)

I think I see screw holes in the sockets on the side of his knees. While that implies knee bends, that doesn’t mean it’s there. But it’s possible.

I swear the most infuriating and ignorant phrase a person can make is β€œThat’s not what I heard.”

It’s already $125. What’s an extra $10.

The funniest thing would be if it WOULDN’T open for random people.

Happy Valentines!

I’ve seen other people do the hearts playing card… So I figured I’d do a themed one with Stargazer being the silly nonsense it is.

Instead of an Ace of Hearts, it’s an Aleph Null symbol… The smallest infinite cardinal number… Or β€œInfinity + 1”.

I’m kinda surprised they didn’t use the RotB Airrazor for this. Just for variety’s sake.

I miss having this toy. I had it as a kid and I had so much fun with it. And now that I’m older and know what a Diaclone is… I REALLY miss it. (And the Nu-Diaclone version is too expensive for me.)

On the bright side, we have a super easy to make Bluebolts that we can make, once this Facistcon goes on clearance.

Okay, that really DOES make a huge difference.

It’s gone from β€œI’ll pass” to β€œhey, if I have the money or find it on sale.”

I understand it’s show accurate, but I’d really like it if we got an option for white instead of grey.

I should be too. Let me go fix that.

Honestly, I think a right of true passage is making your own version of TF:TM. I’m glad they’re releasing this… A lot of it is long out of print…

But I gots a great ideas. Adapt the screenplay with Rails, non-ultra Magnus, Ingestor and Woke Grimlock!

If it was up to me, and it's not because I'm a selfish asshole... I'd also have Rodimus be scowling the enter time like "Where's MY damn apology! 40 years of being blame for something I didn't do!"

It’s really damn good, I cannot deny that. My only criticism is I feel it should have been been Alpha Trion reaching out to Pax as opposed to Prima. But it looks great. 😊

Seriously Hasbro? It’s not necessarily necessary to over-engineer these things. It’s okay if they transform simply.

Looks like I’m still not upgrading from my Titans Return Astrotrain.

I’m kinda the same with Wegovy here.

A message to myself later this year on my 51st birthday:

Happy Birthday! So you got the Thunderclash pages done and Duke’s story as well. And I’m assuming your commissions are done by now…

Are you at least done with the prelude in Stargazer? It’s only 12 pages and I have the first 4 done.

No, I was 8.

I was 8. All I understood was cool bike jumps, explosions and a flying motorbike and Lt. Ilia with hair. The lack of plot didn’t dawn on me until later in life.

If we go for a SHIELD angle, nothing says they have to be military… Maybe just agents. Ol’ Hector could still be Ex-Navy.

I saw Megaforce (1982) in the theaters.

I always thought a more Agents of SHIELD type of angle would be neat. Have a smaller team and have the villains be a variety of antagonists, ranging from Cobra to Decepticons, to VENOM, to Inhumanoids to even Dire Wraiths.

I hate this country's healthcare insurance system so much...

Well, it sells to *SOME* people... But the less said about them the better. :P

Funny enough, back in the early days of Overwatch, I was able to almost do a 1:1 comparison of the original Overwatch and Talon team with original Joes and Cobras. And it lined up so perfectly, I swore it had to be intentional.
