2025 marks several anniversaries for one of the most unique and creative corners of the Transformers Franchise. I’ve written a nearly 10,000 word retrospective in celebration for Ask Vector Prime! From a web tie-in promotion to a deep dive QnA lead by @jimsorenson.bsky.social. (1/2)
Absolutely fantastic! So cool being able to see these be brought to light.
After I finished the series way back, I went right over to the wiki to read the canceled issue summaries, and now being able to see these alive?
Massive thanks to TFN, David, Simon, and Alex for making this possible!

Today's #BehindTheBots salutes TOM KENNY: when not playing a sea sponge or an ice wizard, he voiced Starscream and his clones on "Transformers Animated", Wheelie in the live-action films, Nightstrike in "Robots in Disguise", and many more!

Thinking about Hot House, the fire department A-10 Thunderbolt.
The person buying gear for the department read "fire support" on a spec sheet and said "oh perfect, that sounds like something we could use!"

Boy I was getting nervous the closer we got to the date that German listings site gave with no news, but PHEW! Heck of a lot of stuff going on here, lots of returning and new characters, even Mandroid's back, really looks to be shooting to be a big high-stakes finale. Hope it pulls it off.
As rumored, #Transformers: Earthspark is wrapping up with a pair of movies on Paramount+ dropping Dec. 5 in the US. Check out the new trailer below:

It’s so funny to me that the first mainline console game since the delisting of all the prior titles, is now being delisted.

The complete edition of Transformers: Battlegrounds with all DLC included is currently 70% off on Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. If you want a decent little XCOM-like featuring the Cyberverse cast for under $10, now's the time to grab it before it goes away forever!

My bit of art to accompany The Secrets of Cybertron presented by @davidw140.bsky.social at last weekend's @tfnationltd.bsky.social Reading Mini-Con. I was originally going to use Don's Primus design from the War Within, but as I started realised it wasn't Sunbow enough so went my own way.

if you've never handled Beast Wars Scavenger before I think the thing that's really insane about him is just the fact that fully 75% of his body mass is just his arms. His entire robot-mode body and head is curled up in his abdomen, which itself is mostly kibble that hangs off his arse

Made a new one of these. Retro Movie Reissues with characters that barely appear in the film are the gift that keeps on giving. And hey, we know they have the mold

TMS was WAY ahead of the pack, but I really do need folks who weren't around for it then to understand
The oft-janky animation in Transformers and Joe and MASK and etc? Still WAY more dynamic and exhilarating than just about anything on US tv before them. It was a dang sea change.

This show rolled a grenade into the waning days of the Hanna Barbera/Filmation dominance of Saturday morning.
