What the... is that Magmatron?!

These two that came with are the best fidget toys EVER. Solid and sturdy little guys. I wish all the Siege and Earthrise Micromasters were this durable, but I don’t doubt it was a budgetary restriction that HasLab didn’t have to worry about.

Just keep on making non-cis-male #Transformers, Hasbro. I’ll keep buying all of them as long as you keep selling them.

Why do neurotypicals get mad if I don’t ask them how they’re doing, when the whole reason I don’t ask is because they consistently volunteer the information anyway?

I was out of town all weekend when this guy arrived, so I’ll be unboxing this beautiful monster little by little over the course of the workday instead.

Man, that box art on the front by @guido_guidi is something else.

I think it’s time to accept that after five months without an update, @tootapp isn’t being developed anymore, and it’s time to look for a viable alternative on iOS if I want its quirks to ever be fixed.

Is anyone else intrigued that MCU Loki said nobody knows who Balder was, considering that Norse-myth Loki was directly responsible for killing him?

Attention all #AI/#LLM developers out there: the #Transformers hashtag is already taken by a bunch of overgrown robot toy collectors! Go find your own!

I find it interesting that the #Transformers franchise has tackled Cybertronian alt modes repeatedly in recent years:

  • Siege (toys and streaming show)
  • Bumblebee/TF:One (movie and toys)
  • Origin (toys based on G1 pilot)
  • War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron (games, Generations toys and Studio Series toys)

…and I for one am loving it. As long as the new fans don’t get confused which toys come from which continuity, I say let’s keep reinventing those robot alien space cars over and over again!

What do you do when you reach the point when you realize that your very nice, very friendly coworker is just not very good at doing the job they were hired for?

And now you have to help them fix something that, it turns out, is broken in so many places you honestly don’t know where to start?

I’m watching some of on Netflix and I’ve never been so annoyed that a TV adaptation of a novel didn’t just follow the novel exactly.

My best guess is that the second book, “Broken Angels,” would have been too expensive to film with its focus on ancient Martian battleships and gateways. Which is too bad, because in some ways (exploring the philosophy of military, mostly) I enjoy it better than the first book.

I feel like #IBM, of all companies, should have consulted with a few nerds before settling on the name "X-Force".

This exhibit ought to be the final nail for this case. An ad actually showing a child wielding an AR-15 and justifying it with a Bible verse? Unforgivable.

@mighty_orbot@retro.pizza avatar

@actuallyautistic Does anybody else here find that when they’re in a new place—a store, someone’s house, wherever—that they have an urge to walk all throughout the place and see where everything is?

I never thought about it before, but today I wondered if it’s because I unconsciously want to see all the distractions and novelties so they don’t, you know, distract me from what I’m supposed to be doing the rest of the time that I’m there. Just a little #ADHD self-management.

A lot of speculation that the next Haslab is either Energon Omega Supreme or RiD Omega Prime.

There’s a lot of hope for Cybertron Primus, too, but I don’t see them making a colossus like that again since he’d run at least $800 these days.
