If you want to apologize, don't use it on anyone ever again. Don't use it as a synonym for petulance, or any other behavior you don't care for, fandom or otherwise. Don't use it or any other words for things people actually are as insults, whether they're neurodivergent or mentally ill or not.

I won't tell you to get out like everyone else but seriously just. Stop.

really wish people would stop using autism/autistic as an insult, there's like a dozen other words one could use to get the same intent across and not be insulting a group that probably makes up a sizable minority on this site

Well right now there's Starscream, Soundwave hanging out with Optimus Prime, and Megatron, although he might not count technically anymore. I think the implication right now is that reintegration on Cybertron has gone pretty well, although there are an indefinite amount of Decepticon groups and outposts scattered throughout the galaxy still.

Basically I want more Megatron stuff, but with a bot that isn't Megatron.

I will also admit that I haven't read the last two months of comics due to budgeting, so maybe my issues are getting addressed.

So Sky Lynx arrived yesterday, and he is cool and good.
The back feet are a bit crap, but i knew about that going in. His neck is really loose too though.

Also, went to a TRU and found myself a Gnaw.

With Gnaw turning up in Wave 4 too, we're going to be drowning in them. Which isn't too bad for an army builder. Might still get the Japanese variant at some point for all the pretty colours.

drat I saw like 40 new posts and I thought some cool new Transformer got announced or something. Then I'm saddened to come in here and find that not the case, but it was just someone being a loving rear end in a top hat. :negative:

Also, I really wish Wave 4 would hit my local Walgreens/Target/Meijer. I just see a ton of Triggerhappys and Twinfernos.

With Octane and Blitzwing I'm willing to bet on my country's batshit insane store distribution: we skipped a lot of CW waves and even size classes but somehow the stores were drowning in Skylynxes and Onslaughts so maybe I'll see them one of these days.

Then again there's the movie coming so it'll probably be an endless mountain of TLK wave 1, forever.

I got Skyshadow the other day and aside from him pinching the poo poo out of me when turning him into a jet, he is very cool and fun. The tank mode can be a bit of a bitch if you get the legs on just right but nothing too bad. Real good looking Japanese robot dude, like you can just tell he is from an 80s mech anime.

It's his Galactus horns and shoulder cannons.

I've only seen one wave 4 deluxe, and oddly enough it was Topspin. He was gone the next day. I didn't get him cause I just play with my TFs so infrequently any more, it didn't feel right adding another one to the pile that wasn't a total standout for one reason or another.

Meanwhile I've been going through my display case and reminding myself how good some of these guys were. I got DOTM Skyhammer out again. Holy poo poo, that is a good Transformer. It's a real shame he's only ever been remolded as Creepy Face Drift.

TF Legends is releasing Brawn, Kickback, and Triggerhappy.

Like other legends-class toys in the Legends line, Kickback and Brawn come with Headmasters. Brawn comes with Repugnus, but Kickback comes with "Crowbar".

Who could that be, I wonder? I mean, Crowbar is a Decepticon from DOTM, but I doubt it's him.

EDIT - also, Triggerhappy is listed as a Target Master, so he'll probably have a new mold gun buddy like Hot Rodimus and Chear.

That's actually really weird, I feel like they haven't run out of headmasters to reference, but maybe they did?

I mean they've only released what, five or six of the legends and there's tons of headmaster juniors?

Nodosaur

There's like six.

and they already released Bullhorn, Cancer, and Go-Shooter. They could still do Minerva and Cab but no TM mold exists that suits them. That just leaves Wilder from Fangry.

His face also reminds me of Voltron. I think it's the lines and the yellow eyes.

I saw the trailer in the theater the other day for it and I woulda thrown popcorn if there weren't people in front of me. As I've said before, sooooo not a fan. Especially when the trailer had maybe 20 seconds of identifiable* robots out of the 2 or 3 mins it lasted.

*Identifiable meaning Optimus, Bumblebee and maybe Grimlock and Megatron???

It's very tempting to not pick up a Quake if only cuz man those colors look real nice. Also Hardhead is good already which is also why I'm like ehh do I need another? Especially when it's the same general tank mode.
