Greeting Cybertronians! I'm DrLockdown (or Declan).

I specialise in Transformers figure and media analysis. Been doing this gig for over eight years, and had a blast so far.

If you like reviews that go into the context of why things happen, feel free to give it a watch: www.youtube.com/@DrLockdown

There's an idea for a CW/AOTP versus review, but the amount of effort it would take means it won't be for a while.

Right now I'm under a mountain of work, both YouTube and IRL.

Imma be real; I'm glad I slept through those reveals.

Not much and they're overpriced. Like...can we have a hobby these days that doesn't cost a kidney?

Side note, I won't be livestreaming for the next Fan First event. Not particularly interested in GI Joe stuff, plus I've got a date night and snuggles over The Grand Tour are better than GI Joe. Sorry. I don't make the rules.

Anyway, countdown to Legacy continues (yes that's what this is, no duh).

Obvious AI is obvious.

Fascists can't even make their own damn art.

Ah. Bugger

DrLockdown (10 Years Baybeeeee) @drlockdown.bsky.social · 2d

I remember using a "format numbers" option on the column where the dates were gonna be set up.

Tedious, but better than relying on the base date definer.

DrLockdown (10 Years Baybeeeee) @drlockdown.bsky.social · 3d

Isn't there a setting that forces all documents to be in a chosen format? Or is that not possible for this project? Or is it flat out not working?

I remember having to finegle it for my collection spreadsheet, so it might be more complicated on your end

Was a good book. Seems to be going into a more optimistic chapter, but still keeping the brutality.

Don't mind the new artstyle either, and I know they've said it'll get even better

EXACTLY!

Early access I get, but exclusive videos kinda feel gross.

DrLockdown (10 Years Baybeeeee) @drlockdown.bsky.social · 3d

It just creates the idea that we're making exclusive content, and forces that idea out into public view.

All folks like myself are doing is putting it up a few days early for higher tier members, to help support the channel, but YouTube goes "HEY LOOK AT THIS! YOU CAN'T WATCH THIS! HAHA!"

DrLockdown (10 Years Baybeeeee) @drlockdown.bsky.social · 3d

Putting "members only" videos everywhere, in search feeds, in subscription feeds, on channel homepages.

Setting up videos people can't click on, potentially kneecapping performance when the video actually does come out.

NGL, kinda glad I never opened up channel memberships. Considered it, but it just seems like having it turned on ruins the experience for everyone else on the channel.

think I might put this on hold for a bit and focus on the Q&A and the Legacy Video.

I'd rather ensure those two will be as good as they can be, instead of spending weeks just to cut this down, before even trying to add extra graphics.

DrLockdown (10 Years Baybeeeee) @drlockdown.bsky.social · 4d

I was planning on doing a cut of the "Behind the Scenes" streams to coincide with the Anniversary, but its just...taking ridiculously long to cut down.

This is actually my second attempt at this, the first being last year, and its just kicking my arse.

Might re-attempt in January, but for now, I

Isn't writing part of the fun?

Why would you take the fun part out of video production?

I always try to be balanced with my criticism of Hastak in a changing toy landscape.

But this is fucking unacceptable.

Haslab Omega Prime Replacement Parts Being Received – No New Tooling”?

A few hours ago we shared the new about the Haslab Omega Prime Replacements being shipped. While this seemed like good news for fans who had damaged Optimus Prime copies, it seems it wasn’t like many fans expected. 2005 Boards members falconRID and drunkenfish6 took time to disassemble their Optimus cab replacements, and they discovered that the inner sliding piece (reason of many breakages) wasn’t a new piece or tooling, but it was just sanded. It’s good to remark that this was a fix the community discovered by themselves to prevent damage on their copies. From what we can see, it » Continue Reading.

Furthermore, since Daylight Savings just ended, it may start at a slightly different time. Make sure to line things up on your end.
