I've peaked.

It ends on its own fake comics adaptation of a truncated, non-existent movie based on the mini-series, which is … that’s great. That’s so good. (Panels here not from said “adaptation.”)

It doesn’t stick the dismount the same way Morrison’s best stuff does, but it hits the right notes along the way. It didn’t make me cry, but to its credit I thought at some point it might(!), but it did make me think about storytelling, which was a lot of its goal.

It feels like it’s taking some pages from Grant Morrison—not by accident, since their works are name-dropped in the afterwords and Kirby-styled cosmic DC weirdness is all over this, but it does so successfully—pop art as deconstructed metaphor but also as sincere celebration.

I’m ten years too late on this, but finally read the Transformers vs. G.I. Joe Tom Scioli mini-series from IDW. It is brilliant. I don’t really care about Joe/find them kind of dated and jingoistic*, but I’m convinced you can have a good, weird time with it caring about neither.

New D-Genesis volume started streaming. Translating light novels is fun.

Hi, I’m terribly sorry. You seem to have mistaken my summary for an argument.

Not at all a replacement for Twitter, or the same use, but once again plugging that I’m chronicalling my Transformers-collecting on Insta in case anyone shares that interest. Generally post Sun, MWF (at least until I run out of dudes). instagram.com/another_time_t…

I've been exceptionally busy recently, but in the few moments I haven't been, I got a light box to do dumb stuff like this.

The funny archaeopteryx man as threatened. Joining the increasingly silly bad-guy shelf.

Lmao imagine if a long-running kids’ property tie-in comic now ended (one of its now-multiple sequels/epilogues) on the note “The future holds only conflict and mayhem!” Thanks for reading, kids! Marvel’s Transformers was something else. - 1992 UK annual

Sorry I haven’t been super active on here lately, or gotten around to Bluesky changeover. Soon. Mostly just been busy with holidays, day job, and translation! I have also fully picked up a Transformer-collecting hobby. These things do happen.

But more importantly, and more truly, like an aging millennial hipster, I have been described as being “in the top 0.05 percent of Beach House fans.” Also I still use Twitter.

Like a true aging millennial hipster, my tastes are mostly “wonky.”

Chanced across the ‘95 Godzilla suit at Haneda Airport literally seconds before they took him away.

Grimlock's predictions for the alliance here have always stuck with me. I haven't really seen how the fandom reads this scene, and I suspect maybe not charitably. Taken at face value, the war being about "genetics" is a bit of a dangerous line. However...

God, I love Scorponok/Zarak. His arc is so good. Also, check humanist Prime.
