Cybertron's Favourite DILF Transformers: The Basics on YouTube: One half of Sonic the Comic the Podcast: He/him
Very much inspired by the Dorling Kindersley Marvel and DC books that take the same approach to those brands' history. Who knows if I'll ever progress any further with it, but hey, here's three double-page spreads to give you a sense of what I was going for.
--but that moment came and went and I never got further than a notebook full of bullet points. Then I thought I could maybe do a couple of years up as a zine, a sort of "proof of concept," for TFTM's 40th this year, but again, failed to carve out the time to do anything other than mock up 1986.
In the afterglow of TFNation's celebration of creativity and artistry, lemme show you a fan-project I've been failing to get anywhere with for a couple of years: a year-by-year, month-by-month guide to Transformers history. I had the idea a few years ago in the run-up to the 40th anniversary--
Getting into the TFN stack today, and let me tell you, nobody but nobody is out here doing it like @chicletes.bsky.social, and it is one of the great tragedies of IDW that they didn't get her to work on the 2019 TF like a bunch of other up-and-coming fans, before Skybound changed the on-ramp.
Okay now to be fair, the point of the 20th art was that it was one half of a lenticular hologram, and when you moved it, it changed into this image. Unfortunately the non-hologram printings used the less-relevant image.
Special shout out to this Chinese Age of the Primes jigsaw puzzle from @jakelab.bsky.social! This is NOT going to be easy!
The only 'bot I came away from TFN with was an AOTP Powerglide; otherwise it's all zines and stickers, many of them gifts! Look at all this! I felt pretty fulfilled this year for having managed to assemble my BW panel, but this doubles my old resolve to make something tangible for next year.
Back home from TFNation and unwinding with the only movie appropriate.
SG Shockwave, Thundercracker, and Soundwave, by jezz.cos, mfkmakes and astrx._.cos (all on insta) respectively!
It's @oreoglitch.bsky.social as SG Soundwave! She levelled up to cosplay contest judge this year!!
Knock Out finds himself in Cyberworld in what I think is going to go down as one of TFN's all-time best script readings!
Winner of the "Humanised" cosplay category is minky.stardust (on insta) as Sentinel Prime as Marie Antoinette!
Would you believe that other comedians who auditioned to play Wreck-Gar in TFTMQ included Michael Richards and Bill Maher?? Strange but true - as proven the audition tapes just shown at TFN!
The winner of the TFN cosplay contest, @jaggidart.bsky.social as Tigatron!
The usual astonishing standard from the TFN cosplay contest! No way I can get individual pictures of all these!!
The Transformers Battersea Power Station Store mascot, the Titan, Powerplex, is becoming an officially licensed figure from Yolopark!
The people love Sunstorm! Best first-day views of 2026 so far, in the top three of the last year.
