Update! I delisted the original because there were some things I wasn't satisfied with, such as color matching and decal sizes. I put up a new version recently, and it's more accurate to what I had in mind. Call it a second edition.

The new ID for the Lidl Star is MFKM9F8S. #KirbyAirRiders

#KirbyAirRiders is so good, but what's even better is that I was able to make the Lidl Star with the insanely deep customization thing lol
The infamous Lidl Star is a customized Warp Star in Kirby Air Riders. The main body is blue. The rear view mirrors are red and the spoiler is yellow. In the middle of the star is the logo for Lidl, a european grocery store franchise. If you wish to have one, the ID for the air ride machine is: MHBT3Q5Y

A little facelift.
Branding Refresh for PESTYSYDE codenamed "RAGE-2K". The black, white and PESTYSYDE Blue color pallet are still prevalent, but now features 12 black stripes akin to wires in a motherboard for computers. The PESTYSYDE logo is now connected together as one shape, beside the letter P and the last E. It is encased in a camera frame-like box with corner details inspired by the last iteration of the PESTYSYDE aesthetic, Volak. They were a mascot who had a Y shaped face detail. There are texts that read "PERSPECTIVES OF A LOST SOUL" and "CHASING UNREACHABLE DREAMS". Along side the two texts are two other texts that are upside down, they say "AM I TRULY GONE?" and "AM I STILL LUCID?"

I hope that some other stores have the Fisitron and Carnivac pack available out there somewhere (already pre-ordered Top-Spin and Spinister), because I really like that blue dude and I don't know anything about him LOL

the struggles of the international transformers collector...

#transformers #comic #mspaint #amazon #maccadam #wow #expensive
On the first panel, two pictures of the Transformers Age of The Primes: Wreck n' Doom collection and their respective figures are shown with a text doodled in green saying "In stock!" The second panel follows with a long haired, smelly man (me) sitting by a computer with a keyboard, mouse and a smile on his face saying "oh sweet, the wreck n doom collection's released on amazon! might just order these ngl..." The third panel is heartbreaking. One of the 2-packs containing these figures, specifically Fisitron and Carnivac are listed and shown to retail at fifty dollars. A tolerable price for the man, but the real kick in the dick is the Import Fee Deposit which is listed at over a thousand dollars just to have it shipped to Norway! The fourth panel has the man lamenting in the pain of being priced out of exclusion, with his cheeky smile being wiped with a dull, dissappointed expression. All he says in this potentially painful moment for many others is "is this punishment for not being an american?" A faint text is also underneath saying "at least shipping's free..."

10 years ago, I picked up the first game I ever pre-ordered. Unfortunately, I lost my copy of the game a long time ago, but I've been loving the series ever since. Happy 10th anniversary, #Splatoon!

still wondering if i should continue working on BlueBalls, since that godzilla collab transformer has some parts i want for him.

here's a picture two components you need to build your own BlueBalls. If You Want To

if you got questions regarding him or his character, i am willing to answer :)
Image of the two figures required to make BlueBalls. The one on the left is Age Of The Primes G2 Grimlock, while the figure next to him is Legacy G2 Grimlock.

Not as excited for Superion and the Aerialbots in Age of The Primes, though that's going to come pretty naturally when Superion is my least favorite combiner. I'll do fine with Menasor. The rest of the new wave are pretty exciting though! Super stoked for Wasp, Red Alert and Solus. #transformers

Quick honorable mention has to go to the #Blokees Transformers kits, They're really fun to build and are really cool little action figures. (Tarn is my favorite one) I don't really have much else to say other than that. I'm really tired.

#3 - Studio Series 86 Springer
#2 - Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime

Aaand my number one favorite figure I got this year is...

Legacy United Deluxe Sideburn! Yup.
Picture of Entry #3: Transformers Studio Series 86 Leader Springer. Springer's colors are green, light green, dark green, yellow and blue-ish gray. Springer is a Triple Changer, which means he has three modes. The picture shows Springer's robot mode, and he can transform into an armored car and a helicopter. Ramblings: "Springer is my favorite Autobot ever, and might even be my favorite Transformers character ever. For some reason I've always felt drawn on to his character, and it didn't help when I found out there were figures of the guy that I liked ever since I started collecting and engaging with Transformers. It's a frickin' miracle this guy made it up to the list this high because to me, this is the definitive figure of Springer for me. He's got tons of accessories, a hidden feature, opening hands, and so much more. When this guy got unveiled for the first time, there was a lot of people who disliked this figure immediately. I wasn't one of them, I was super stoked for this release. I had the other Springer figures but none of them scratch the itch for me as this does. 86 Springer is awesome, and I think you owe it to yourself to at least check it out." Picture of Entry #2: Transformers Studio Series 86 Commander Optimus Prime. Optimus' colors are red, white and blue with bits of yellow. Optimus transforms into his classic truck mode. Ramblings: "I remember when I got my first Optimus Prime figure from Kingdom and even back then I kind of realized that it could have been a lot better. I got it when I was having a real rough time in my life and just wanted to have something to get through the days, and Optimus was there. Up until this point, I was looking for my definitive Optimus Prime figure. The VNR, Gamer Edition and even the Missing Link didn't really feel like the guy. Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime feels like a triumph. A triumph over the hard times, the long journey and a triumph that feels GOOOOD. This is Optimus Prime. This is just the guy. There's nothing that feels off or bad. This is the main man. The accessories are excellent, The transformation although doing the classic Optimus Prime moves, does it in a way that still makes it fresh and new. It's a miracle this thing exists, I don't even feel the need to engage with Masterpiece anymore. I'm glad to have lived long enough to experience this figure. GET IT WHILE YOU STILL CAN. And yea, I made sure to buy two of them haha" Picture of Entry #1: Transformers Legacy United Deluxe Sideburn. Sideburn's colors are Blue and white, with parts yellow and red. Sideburn transforms into a Cybertronian car. Ramblings: "Many people are probably scratching their heads now. "This was seen as one of the most controversial reveals of Legacy United, what's he doing hogging the number 1 spot?" It's simple. He does what I want a Transformer to do. He may not have the best accessories or alt mode or articulation or transformation, but what I care most about this figure is that despite all of the crap being slinged at it, it feels content fulfilling it's role in Legacy and Generations all together. He feels like a genuine improvement over the brittle, overengineered mess that was the original. Many will probably complain that he doesn't look accurate to his original design, but Dodge probably wouldn't give a license to Hasbro for it. If it means getting a different alternate mode, but still have the figure release then that's a sacrifice that I'm willing to take. It's fun to transform Sideburn, It's fun to pose him to do cool stuff, It's fun to mess around with Sideburn. Against some of the best figures he falters, but on his own he thrives. I don't know if I can recommend this figure because people have different expectations than I do, but he definitely met mine. Sideburn makes me happy, and I can hope you can find something that makes you happy too."

#7 - Thrilling 30 Voyager Whirl
#6 - Legacy United Voyager Vector Prime
#5 - Legacy United Voyager Motormaster
#4 - Takara TL-EX Super Mode Starscream
Picture of Entry #7: Transformers Generations Thrilling 30 Voyager Whirl. Whirl's colors are light blue, a slightly darker blue and black. Whirl transforms into a helicopter. Ramblings: "The one I was actively hunting down in TFNation. The effort was worth it! This is one of my favorite robot designs period, and one of my favorite Voyager Class figures out there! The posability is great, the transformation is great and both modes are great. Despite not featuring ankle pivots, it won't tip over at all due to the designs of the feet. I'm glad I finally got my hands on this fella." Picture of Entry #6: Transformers Legacy United Voyager Vector Prime. Vector Prime's colors are burgundy and white with cyan and gold accent colors. Vector Prime transforms into a... cybertronian spaceship of some sort. Ramblings: "The figure I wanted the most from Legacy was Vector Prime and they did him as much justice as they could. He's a retool of Jhiaxus who released in the first year of Legacy. I don't mess around with this guy as often, but there's no denying that he's got presence. The sword and cyber key accessories are very good and very underrated, and it makes posing this guy a blast. He could use with bigger shoulder pauldrons and a better transformation, but overall I am very satisfied. Satisfied enough to put him in on number 6." Picture of Entry #5: Transformers Legacy United Voyager Animated Motormaster. Motormaster's colors are black, purple and sand purple with bits of lime green. Motormaster transforms into an EVIL fire engine, muahahaha... Ramblings: "Now that's what I'm talking about! Motormaster is the best version of Animated Optimus. This mold was great, but it was in desperate need of being Motormaster. Love the new headsculpt and that handlebar stache he's got. The posabilty is good and the transformation is just great. Motormaster just exudes that "Evil Optimus Prime" energy better than Nemesis Prime or even RID 2000 Scourge, and he does it with grace and a little elbow grease. I might consider picking up the DNA Upgrade kit for him. He's here, and he's going to mess up some bots reaaal bad!" Picture of Entry #4: Takara Transformers Legacy LG-EX Armada Starscream (Super Mode). Starscream's colors are blue and silver with bits of black and red. Starscream turns into a futuristic jetplane. Ramblings: "I use this figure to represent Thundercracker in my collection. This figure is so fun to flip back and forth that I had to buy two in order to have one for display on the shelf and one to play around with. Yeah, it's that good. Not only does he look on point to his cartoon appearance, not only does he have great accessories, but all around this is just a excellently designed toy that was previously marred by bad quality control. I'm glad they fixed a lot of problems I had with the Legacy Armada Starscream from Year 1 and actively went to make the experience better."

#11 - Generations Selects Pathfinder
#10 - Legacy United Deluxe Cliffjumper
#9 - Siege Deluxe Bluestreak
#8 - Siege Deluxe Slamdance
Picture of Entry #11: Transformers Generations Selects Go-Bots Guardians Deluxe Pathfinder. Pathfinder's colors are yellow and blue, with accents of dark blue and red. Pathfinder transforms into an alien spaceship. Ramblings: "Pathfinder is a recolor of Cosmos. I do have both, and I slightly prefer Pathfinder more. It's really hard to tell in pictures, but Pathfinder has a really nice blue color that just makes her look super colorful. The blue is so bright and deep that it looks like it could glow under a UV light. The transformation is really mind bending the first time you go through it, and she looks great on display. The flag accessory referencing the Guardians faction from Go-Bots is also a really nice touch. This figure comes included in a three pack with two other really good figures too, so it is a great value to pick up the Go-Bots Guardians three pack!" Picture of Entry #10: Transformers Legacy United Deluxe Prime Cliffjumper. Cliffjumper's colors are red and gunmetal. Cliffjumper transforms into a muscle-car. Ramblings: "It's the guy that died in the first episode of Prime! It's great to have a figure of this character, as it is one of my favorite designs Cliff has. Transformation is a little finnicky but it doesn't really harm my enjoyment for this figure. Accessories are bad, though. I don't really have much to say about this figure other than I really like it!" Picture of Entry #9: Transformers War For Cybertron Siege Deluxe Bluestreak. Bluestreaks colors are grey, black and red. Bluestreak transforms into a Cybertronian version of a Datsun car. Ramblings: "I was at TFNation 2024 for my birthday! I made tons of purchases at the convention, from In Demand, Toy-Fu and various other venues. One of my favorite figures I bought from TFNation is Siege Bluestreak. I have the Earthrise Bluestreak however out of fear of breaking the brittle clear plastic legs, I got this figure and Legacy Silverstreak a while back. I like Bluestreak tons. The look, poseability and transformation is all kinds of soothing for my head. It's a great pick up and play experience." Picture of Entry #8: Transformers War For Cybertron Siege Deluxe Slamdance. Slamdance is a Duocon, meaning he transforms into two alternate modes separate from each other. The upper half transforms into a jetplane, while the lower half transforms into a blocky tank. Slamdance's colors are red and blue with bits of silver. Ramblings: "I cannot stop messing around with Slamdance. He's one of the most addicting Transformers in my collection, and that says a lot! The transformations are arguably the best part about this toy. It's like if Thundercracker and Warpath had a weird baby together! I adore Slamdance and it's a damn shame it's being overlooked by the Transformers community."

#15 - Legacy United Deluxe Quake
#14 - Takara 40th Anniversary Nemesis Prime
#13 - Studio Series Deluxe ROTB Scorponok
#12 - Legacy United Deluxe Chromia
Picture of Entry #15: Transformers Legacy United Deluxe G1 Quake. Quake's main colors are grey, maroon with blue as an accent color. Quake transforms into a tank. Ramblings: "This might be affected by recency bias. As I'm writing this, I have only recieved him a couple days ago. However from what I'm seeing, this is definitely one of the better Deluxes. This feels like the definitive version of Legacy Skullgrin, which wasn't a favorite of mine at the time. The transformation might harm the enjoyment of flipping this guy back and forth, with a few steps feeling unenjoyably complicated for this price class. Since Quake is a Double Targetmaster, his accessories are Tiptop and Heater. (which change into his guns) They're a lot like the accessories Legacy Needlenose include, however the colors and handfeel are more pleasant to fidget with than their previous attempts. Overall, a solid package for it's value." Picture of Entry #14: Takara Transformers 40th Anniversary Rise of The Beasts Nemesis Prime. Nemesis Prime's main colors are black and grey with accents of red and metallic light teal. Nemesis Prime transforms into a truck. Ramblings: "I'll be honest, I despise Nemesis Prime as a concept. I feel there are characters that fulfills the role of "The Evil Optimus Prime" without feeling excessively edgy or dark. Plus, the color choices always seemed really boring to me. However, I cannot deny that the Studio Series ROTB Voyager Optimus mold wears these colors extremely well. If you ask me, I'd say this is the figure that fits Optimus' character in that movie! Nemesis' accessories are the same as Optimus' (sword and hand-cannon barrel) since he's a simple recolor. The transformation is decent, with a pretty great torso twist included. However it is the standard Optimus Prime affair for most of the time. This is probably going to be the rarest version of this figure in the future, as if the original wasn't already in high demand! Thank goodness I got this for a pretty good price, the prices on certain retailers are an absolute sham." Picture of Entry #13: Transformers Studio Series Rise of The Beasts Deluxe Scorponok. Scorponok's colors are blue-ish grey and purple with silver accents. Scorponok transforms into a mechanical scorpion. Ramblings: "This toy feels like one of those impossible cases where there's no way in hell this is going to be, yet all it does is surprise me. Why is a figure that has a great scary monster aesthetic and remarkably uncomplicated transformation process this good doing in Studio Series? Barring the shoulders, the posability along with the big claws Scorponok has helps give this figure a great character. The tail can be detached and wielded as a sort of whip, however I do feel that this came more as an unintended feature as the tail is detached for packaging. Still, this is a great Deluxe! If you don't have it yet, It's getting recolored as Double Punch. I recommend tracking this or Double Punch down if you can!" Picture of Entry #12: Transformers Legacy United Deluxe Cyberverse Chromia. Chromia's colors are blue and a dark shade of lavender with accents of cyan, red and pink. Chromia transforms into a motorcycle. Ramblings: "This is a recolor of Legacy Evolution Animated Prowl. That figure is good, but the Chromia version just takes this mold to new heights. The poseability comes into full effect with Chromia's more vibrant color scheme and makes the previous outing look like the shoehorned recolor. This figure just fits her like a glove. Transformation is very good, too. Everything (except for the accessories) just flows super nicely."

The Fallen is my favorite reveal today, however what really caught my attention is the new unified packaging design for Age of The Primes and Studio Series. For something that's instantly going in the garbage when you get them, the boxes are really clean and super cool! #transformers
Packaging for Transformers: Age of The Primes - Leader Class Megatronus, the Fallen. The front of the box showcases art of Megatronus' robot and alternate modes on the right side of the box, however it is obscured by a light glare. The amount of steps it takes to transform the toy is also shown on the upper left corner in front of the box. A close-up of Megatronus' robot mode art is displayed on the side of the box. Packaging for Transformers Studio Series 86 - Deluxe Bonecrusher and Voyager Scrapper. Bonecrusher's packaging is slightly smaller than Scrapper's, but the design aspects are like that of Age of The Primes' box design philosophy. The bottom of the box also showcases the logo of which movie the design is inspired by, these toys being inspired by their appearance in Generation 1 or The Transformers: The Movie (1986)

"Cornered"

This artpiece was previously posted on my Newgrounds and Instagram accounts, but I wanted to share it here too.
"Cornered" depicts a person curled up in the corner of a dark room, with their hand covering their eyes while shedding a tear. Just above the person is a window, showing two beasts fighting each other while one beast has ripped the flesh off the other. Outside, there is a harsh red sky. The light from outside shines on the wall in a manner that looks similar to blood.
