Bloody everywhere does this now. Psychotic, screaming lies in the ugly hope people click on their identical affiliate kickback article rather than somewhere else's.

Not heard anything else yet but I presume wheels just turn slowly

Delayed postage: 3 years. Failure to engage with interrogation: 7 years. That's ten in the cubes, creep.

(Thank you, all cool. Just super paranoid after some fucker swiped a complete G1 Pointblank in the post a few months back).

@nickroche.bsky.social following up, sorry - pretty sure now it's been swiped en route :(

Truly terrifying how easily these things can happen. If no-one in art ever asks anyone in narrative to do a pass on their assets, placeholders get shipped.

Monica is *incredible.* Rent-free in my brain for a long time.

Also much better than my janky KO

'tis Cy-Kill, leader of whatever the baddie Go-Bots were called. Available in little and large flavours

It's the new Missing Link Arcee(s) riding a vintage Transformers Wreck-Gar and Go-Bot Cy-Kill. You can read about the Arcees here millionrobots.beehiiv.com/p/the-transf...

39 years later, Arcee finally gets her due

Ah, gosh, yeah, of course - my fault for an over-reliance on the *G1* Arcee page on TFwiki. Updated, cheers!

Yeah, Powermasters did some novel things but she does feel very different from a Blurr or Kup etc, where it's basically just flips.

Very cool, though. But Streaker remains the one to beat, I think.

perhaps I am now duty-bound to get a Galvatron Shooting A Christmas Tree off you next year
