Transformerd Skybound issue 28 spoilers but im irritated so there we are

Violence is always extreme but there's violence that exists to dramatise a point, to illustrate something intense. And there's violence that exists to titillate. One to me has value. The other is childish

Skybound went from not speaking to me to confusing me to just feeling distasteful to me.

28 and the 29 preview...come on.

This isn't the bloody 90s. You can't just do something gross and call it plot.
January 17, 2026 at 2:02 PM
So Skybound 28 makes you remember that this is written by a guy who struggles massively with pacing and has the most 90s teen tendency to try to be dark and edgy.

Arcee stuff is conceptually cool but felt almost packed on. Thundercracker page is good. End is...childish.

Well

Time to rewrite a few sections of the new book
Out in @nature.com today, we shake up the ornithischian family tree. Remember those weird Late Cretaceous iguanodontians, the rhabdodontids? Well they're weird because they aren't iguanodontians. They're ceratopsians. Well, at least some of them are... www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A hidden diversity of ceratopsian dinosaurs in Late Cretaceous Europe - Nature
New results indicate that rhabdodontids and the previously described Ajkaceratops are actually distinctive European ceratopsians, a group better known from Asia and North America.

New material of Ajkaceratops cements its identity as a ceratopsian, but adds a new wrinkle. It turns out that many european ornithischians previously classified as iguanodontians may actually be ceratopsians! New paper by @tweetisaurus.bsky.social et al., that I provided art for (link in reply).

Know what show also had 3 seasons and ended on 2 specials? That got progressively better and better until it was one of the most original transformers series and ended on two really fun satisfying specials that honoured the character development?

It's a struggle for me to feel like a Transformers fan at the moment.

The mainline toys are effectively pricing me out of the market

The comics are doing very little for me

And the cartoon that had such a reasonable start has tanked to ludicrous levels

It's burdensome

In will probably try Earthspark season 1 again someday. But god will I never touch the rest of it

Earthspark

And I really mean this

Can. Fuck. Off.

That was fucking ridiculous

That's how you end things

Really?

Jesus christ the production team changes took this pretty solid show and just broke its legs didn't it.

Who okayed this and thought "man the kids will love it"

Ok real talk. I'm more into the Kirk run than the DWJ one so far...but man is Kirk doing bad on the end of issue cliffhangers.
November 13, 2025 at 8:21 AM
While I'm more into the story atm than I was with DWJ, the dialog is pretty...diiiiiifficult. Very....grandiose.

Skybound can call me when it writes something this impactful for half a decade
I now have every version bar the weird McFarlane thing of what I consider to be one of the most impactful stories I've ever read

According to the Kyodo news agency, the Super Sentai series will end with the currently airing No․1 Sentai Gozyuger show. Reports state income from events, merch, and films could not cover production costs of the long-running series.

As everyone knows imma massive simp for DWJs TF but reflecting on IDW I can see why people like @irishpalaeonerd.bsky.social wouldn’t groove with it because the AURA of this moment was truly insane and added to the story when it could’ve made it stupid

I don't know what it says about Transformers fans that, when they see a new toy where the whole point is that it's a fun crazy reinvention of a character into a form they've never had before, their gut response is "retool it into a character who DOES have that form already" but it tasks me.

Legends za is fun with a dragging middle and a quite strong endgame (surprisingly so for a pokemon game) with technical elements that generously are not up to general standard and a mistake in aesthetics that is hard to really justify.

7/10. Plenty to like.
