Gilthor: Assembled and finished! Azim Venksta hits another custom out of the park!

My painting was a bit sloppy, especially on the waist, but overall I’m happy with the result. There’s still some yellow trim that’s supposed to be hand-painted on, but I’ll try to […]

Gilthor based on @azimvenksta.bsky.social's TFCon custom class kit. He's still got some available if you want to try making it yourself! #maccadam

Also I forgot about Gilthor

TFWiki image of Energon Universe Optimus captioned" The closest we'll probably ever get to a new toy of Gilthor."

TFWiki captions sometimes make me groan, but they don't usually make me this sad...

yikes. unfollowing them now. i was a fan of their french restaurant. was not aware they stole the lupin collection from the global police

Imagine a timeline where a Transformers Tokusatsu happened

Gilthor is way underappreciated. Honestly think he's got cinematic potential but alas he's just a one-off from an obscure manga

Happy #Obscursday! Decades before Optimus Prime went on the offensive, GILTHOR-the original Optimus-Megatron fusion–menaced Autobots and Decepticons alike!

There is one change, an extra missile for each Zord with that feature

the way the press release is worded gives me the impression they're totally unaware of the Mario & Sonic games???

@jon.gvg.io have you tried booting up VR modes on Switch 2

Sad for him, but it's been way over 20 years, this should have been filed closer to 2016 when they were added to Spotify, or at least some other marker of the song having a long window of popularity. The statute of limitations in the article is too short for that though.

Do you mean Our War Game or Digimon The Movie

And here's a still of Andy that I like- wait that's not the same Andy

We currently have no idea what it does afaik

Okay then *kills you IRL*

Wait has a delay been confirmed?

Well there's also Nintendo Music and Nintendo Classics announcements for what that's worth

Polygon Pictures definitely has choice work in their filmography (absolutely not their fault because I think they've worked on a bunch of better things too)

Every piece of entertainment you have ever loved, has ever shaped your life, has ever brought you joy or peace or fired your heart… *people* made that. Never accept anything less than pure human experience in your entertainment. Art unites us. The process is the magic.

F*** AI SLOP!!! ✊

No because I'm Aussie.....

Not just any race, but a SPECIAL race to see who's the fastest!

Aaaand some of the textures are AI generated

Morning

Like I'm imagining a story where the Quintessons capture Optimus and Megatron, then put Gilthor on Cybertron as a puppet leader, and the real leaders have to work together to escape Quintessa to expose him

Maybe that's why I like him so much? I think he has so much untapped potential, you can really do a lot more with a clone of Optimus and Megatron than one chapter of an obscure manga barely anyone has read.

Bold of you to assume I didn't buy it day one

It would not shock me if the reason Cyberworld felt like it skips over bits of the script is because that show is also being screwed over (but at least it actually has a toyline)

Chris Cocks is more of a video game guy than a toy guy, so he's been pumping money into WOTC like crazy, my interpretation was that Power Rangers was like a sacrificial lamb, and then they stopped co-financing movies as the next step

At the moment it looks like Disney+ is filming a new series by the Percy Jackson showrunners starting in January so hopefully things will improve there.
