Transformers general thread - Toy Robot men based on giant robots based on previously mentioned toys about said robots

Oh boy, here we go.

I’m talking about this guy. He’s an 18y/o man that has dedicated its entire online existence to LARPing as shockwave while acting as the complete opposite of how he’d act. It does not even bother to separate himself from the retarded iteration of the scientists he has come up with, genuinely obsessive.​

He is also E-dating a 16y/o Mexican girl. I doubt she even knows how it looks like irl, she doesn’t acknowledges him as a separate entity too. Creepy as fuck.

He’s quite big on TikTok (20k), it seems acting like a complete moron gets you a decent amount of followers.

Tell me what you all think.

Oh, I've seen a few of these. Chalked it up as another stupid cosplayer who couldn't give it a rest. But we have someone who thinks he's the aforementioned Decepticon Mengle himself, AND dating a minor. It's gonna blow up soon.

I don’t think so. It has a pretty big support group in the fandom. I doubt anyone has the balls to point that out.
Besides, how does it have so much free time and energy to pull it off all the time? God, you must not have any semblance of identity to be able to do this. Lmfao. :cryblood:
Overall, it’s a pretty pathetic cow to watch yet slightly infuriating.​

New LARPer drama. Apparently someone was “in love” with him. I really doubt anyone genuinely loves him, they are just infatuated with the character he is trying to be. This is hilarious.​

the only tranformers content creators I respect are 40 year old collector boomers.

Also, notice that all these freaks in the community are aligned/prime spergs, many such cases.

This showed up on my feed recently. I was wondering when someone was going to make a video about this topic. The answer is yes, btw. Faggots on TFW2005 cope and say, "It's not as bad as [insert years here]," but no other era of Transformers has had multiple big projects that cost millions shit the bed within an eight-year timeframe. The movies have flopped, nobody cares about or likes any of the shows post-Prime, their biggest game was doomed from the start, and they're releasing too many toys that appeal to no one.

This franchise is in decline, and if Hasbro wants to keep it alive, they're going to have to make something that grabs normies attention.

In fairness, TFOne should have done that. If the advertising hadn't fumbled the bag so badly, it would have been a huge boon. Literally everything I've seen from people outside the fandom that watched the movie after the fact (YouTube reactions and the like) were more or less blown away by how much they enjoyed the movie. People inside the fandom that wrote it off from the commercials, literally upset at how poorly they had represented the actual content of the movie. At this point we can only hope for a Hail Mary TFTwo that will see a much bigger audience showing this time around.

Hasbro really needs to remaster its classic cartoons into UHD. I realize some scenes are missing from the film prints, but just AI upscale those scenes from the video tape masters. I'm sure fans would volunteer to digitally fix the coloring errors in the film prints if needed.

They also need to try and get the rights and film prints for MASK from whatever company owns DiC's assets now. MASK has been ignored for decades and I think there is nostalgia for it. And no need for any more woke reboot comics. Just reprint the old MASK comics from the US and UK.

That would be Wildbrain, a Canadian company. However, the rights to the MASK cartoon are owned by Hasbro. You;ll eventually see some new stuff hopefully from the Loyal Subjects who took over the IP.

Not a fan of them staying in the same scale, but they're close to the Archecore size so they should be decent now if they stick with modern engineering.

That’s assuming they’re still planning to make a sequel. You’ve got to remember that Chris Cocks (lmao) said they’re moving away from producing films and focusing more on video games. Which is a really retarded move on his part, considering Hasbro laid off the people who worked on Baldur’s Gate 3 and wasted $200 million on Deactivate.

Idk what this tech bro is doing with Hasbro, but I have a feeling it’s nothing good.

It's such a mistake and it scares me a bit. They need to renegotiate that Disney deal. Nobody wants the majority of the Star Wars and Marvel products Hasbro makes. Hasbro needs full control of what characters to make without Disney telling them what to make or else get out of the deal. More Darth Vaders, no more Reevas.

As long as TakaraTomy is still making Transformers, we might be OK. They can just do what they want and Hasbro can distribute it in the West.

Which is funny that they want to focus on games when they just killed the last project. Considering that there's Transformers gambling machines that's likely what they'll focus more on. Similar thing with Konami when they decided to ditch the gaming industry.

Maffex makes better figures usually anyways. Just way more expensive and even more so since they dropped the parts counts.

They should make MASK Lego. It's a match made in heaven!
