So fucking hyped for this aaaaaAAAAAAAAA

Crazy Ass Moments in Gobots History @assgobots.bsky.social · 11h

The Metal Cardbot line is being brought to the U.S. later this year starting with 4 different size classes and 6 figures. While they're not as articulated as Transformers they're actually pretty fairly better priced with Voyager sized toys being priced sold at a... 1/2

Update: they are now convinced that the money that ebay international shipping takes is currently in my pocket and I'm lying to them/keeping their money from them, somehow 🫩

Love this bot, still one of my faves in my collection to this day

I'm reminded why I don't often sell on ebay: currently have an international buyer arguing with me about how much they should be getting back in a refund for combined shipping because they didn't look at the exchange rate before buying multiple things from me 🫩☕️

So, this here is a special one - G2 Soundwave

@asorohanart did this amazing design a few years back before he passed, and I've worked with the amazing Shins of the Wreckers and @camzilla51 to make it a reality.

Just got announced at NYCC from Hasbro! There's gonna be another set with Bumblee and Megatron too, it sounds like 👀

You're telling me, after ALL these years, Hasbro finally decided to steal Iron Factory's schtick and make some samurai robots? It took THIS long???

Either way, I love that Starscream has a tessen: just imagining him gently fanning himself while saying something snarky, then stabbing someone

I was about to say, as Transformers fans with our love of weird and niche repaints (ESPECIALLY of Optimus) our house is summarily made of glass, lmao

Sophie Goose @sophiegoose.bsky.social · 2d

Also, when/if I do get it, I'm getting the prototype color version, obvs

This figure didn't wait 40+ years to be made for us to simply discard one of the whackiest, least-screen accurate colorschemes of G1

Need to find a glucose guardian and/or a furry commissioner who'll drop a hundo on a writing commission so I can get Missing Link Arcee /hj

Feel so bad for TRON fans tbh

They wait and wait and wait for new stuff and then they get stuck with Leto, and now supporting new media from the franchise they love is a catch 22 of fuckery

Caine: *suddenly appears out of thin air next to him*

Ted: "Hey AM wtf is that?"

AM: "that's my boyfriend be nice 😤"

Caine: "b-boyfriend??!?" *blushes/glitches*

AM: "...Caine we've been dating for six months"

AM, peering into the Circus: "Caine wtf are you doing, where's all the torture and suffering???"

Caine: "torture and suffering? I-I don't think I'm programmed to do any of that-"

AM: "Wait-" *sees everyone going through their various assorted issues/neuroses* "-actually nvm I'll let you cook"

"I feel like it's always one more with me"

Real, very very real, goodness. I don't think people talk enough about the grieving and drain it is to constantly have stuff going on with one's body that needs addressing, shit sucks

Wishing that all goes well and quickly for ya' 🙏

MECARD MENTIONED 🗣🗣🗣

Also, Spinmaster doing all this lawsuit B.S. and then crashing and burning Bakugan after a few years was fucking wild lmao

Crazy Ass Moments in Gobots History @assgobots.bsky.social · 7d

Despite continuing after this, Mecard only got one season in the West and the toyline was discontinued after Mattel, the toyline's exporter was banned from exporting the toys to America after being sued by Spin-Master for Plagiarism.

Look I try not to doomsay or spread panic but this shit is truly and deeply Very Bad for every single trans person in America and unless everyone makes it their mission in life over the next few days to make sure that their reps know that shutting down the government is the correct option here.

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

Like it seems like they were 100% ready to release a chibi version of their team then decided to generalize & make them into blindboxes instead, and tbh? I can't blame them: blindboxes are big fucking money rn (look at literally anything from Popmart lmao)

Think I'll grab a set of these eventually
