Transformers – Red – G1 Megatron

File under, lines I forgot existed. For a brief bit, Transformers had a line called Transformers Red, they were basically, action figure versions of characters. Without an alt mode, this allowed them to be more accurate to the cartoons. They looked alright, especially for some of the designs like Prime Knockout that don't translate super well to actually transforming toys. But I like Transformers because they… transform. I'm honestly not SUPER into any of the specific shows, more the engineering to transformation. So I forgot about these even existing, I think a lot of people did. I was in Ross…

Armorsaurs Evolvers Ajax

I was almost tempted to watch an episode of the show attached to this line before writing but decided I didn't care that much about the lore here. I barely watch Transformers cartoons and I have a ton of those. From my brief bit of research, Armorsaurs is a Disney+ show based on a Korean show called Armored Saurus, with a space. Its a sort of, Korean Sentai Henshin Hero show, Sentai Henshin Hero being shows like, Power Rangers and Kamen Rider. Normal people who power up with fancy devices into armored fighters who often also command giant robots of…

Transformers – Gun Transformers Combiner

I am not sure where I first came across this set of transforming gun toys, I may have even just came across it randomly browsing Amazon. I do know I was kind of sold on the idea in general, but really sold on it by this absurd as fuck image from Amazon. Seriously, what the fuck. Like a lot of goofy shit like this, I put it on a list so I would remember to occasionally look at it and never buy it. Then I was picking up some house stuff, and it was suggested, at a heavily discounted price…

Transformers – Blokees Classic Class 18 – Shockwave (TFOne)

I wrote some thoughts on Blokees and model kits already in my Blokees Megatron review, so I will just like that and cut to the chase a bit. Blokees Shockwave is the second figure kit I have picked up from this line. I like figure kits, but the size makes them a bit less appealing since they don't match with mainline toys at all. Plus, I am not a huge fan of the stylization choices of some of the designs. Shockwave, probably due to his form being Cybertronian, always tends to just look like Shockwave. Plus, I just like Shockwave…

Transformers – Blokees Classic Class 10 – Megatron (TF07)

I am not going to even start trying to understand the goofy naming conventions for this like. There are some smaller Blokees and I think some larger, or at least, fancier ones. I think. Regular Transformers are not that better about long goofy names though either. Anyway, Blokees. Sort of the "new hotness" in Transformers, though it seems to be more the smaller blind box toys. I think those small ones look neat but I am so allergic to the idea of blind boxes, I have not actually bought any of the small ones. The gimmick of the entire Blokees…

Tomora – Come Closer

Welcome to my reviewish write up on the debute album Come Closer from Tomora. Tomora is a joint side project from Tom Rowlands of the Chemical Brothers and Aurora. The name is a portmanteau of their names, Tom-(Aur)ora, Tomora. It features a lot of vocals from Aurora, but its much much more heavy electronic music like you would hear from The Chemical Brothers. Come Closer feels like a random project that came out of nowhere, but I have some pet theories that its sort of been a thing for a while, or at least the concept of a thing. A…

Star Trek Prodigy Supernova

I want to just preface this review/commentary, right up front, that this game is no longer available on Steam. I have no idea about any other platforms or physical releases. Also probably notable, I have only watched maybe 2 episodes of Star Trek Prodigy, and I don't remeber them. That didn't stop me from enjoying the Transformers Earthspark game though, and it hasn't stopped me.from enjoying this game either. Its worth mentioning Earthspark a bit here. Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova, which is a dumb mouthful of a name, felt a lot like Transformers Earthspark. And so I checked and, its…
