Greeting Cybertronians! I'm DrLockdown (or Declan).

I specialise in Transformers figure and media analysis. Been doing this gig for over eight years, and had a blast so far.

If you like reviews that go into the context of why things happen, feel free to give it a watch: www.youtube.com/@DrLockdown

I loved both. They had their fans.

My understanding is they were a success, but not a massive one.

Then Disney bought star wars and pivoted.

Don't blame you.

Worst part is Zuck codified this shit. Soon as trump got in, he removed all protection against queer people. You have no recourse against these fuckers, but fighting back? Oh, that'll get you suspended.

Twice in my lifetime they've bungled a Tron revival.

You can argue all you like about post covid metrics and bloated budgets, but the fact is Leto is cinematic poison.

Nobody wants to see a sexual harasser on screen. They just don't.

Welp, see y'all in fifteen years when they try again.

The #Tron franchise will likely be retired from the big screen

No shade on these figures, but it's funny how Kmart, Target and Big W have all but given up on keeping up to date.

Kmart "stock normal generations" challenge.

Level: impossible.

Failed instantly.

Yeah yeah. I'm thinking more in line with the last run of reissues, before they went toon style.

The ones that came out around the Bumblebee movie.

Suppose that's true.

Though Hasbro has had a decent run on reissues in recent years.

I've always been advocating for Haslabs reissues.

If it's not a given with the cost of production, crowdsource it.

Even with the issues with Omega Prime, I think it would be a great idea.

God, a missing link or reissue would go SO hard.

They won't do it so soon after MPG, but still.

Its taking every fibre of my being not to play this in my own time, but I've comitted to playing on stream.

So hopefully I'll be able to hold out until next monday, when we get back to streaming Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.

The wait is KILLING me.

The Q&A is now re-recorded. Hoping to get started on the editing (and potentially extra filming if needed) soon. Will update when more's been done.

3p legends groups keep showing me slop assisted ""'""animations""""" of upcoming figures.

Who asked for this?!

Literally who?!

Oh. Bugger.

Uuuh, do you have discord? Or email?

I was just checking in on the audio submission. Das all.

So, it turns out, last week I actually had food poisoning, which lead to me ending the stream early.

Oops.

But the good news is I'm feeling better now. We're back to Bomb Rush Cyberfunk in about half an hour. See y'all there.

Yeah, and they don't make Devcon either.

Don't get me wrong, I love Gilthor. I love Devcon. I love crazy nobodies.

But I also get why people are hesitant to touch him.

DrLockdown (10 Years Baybeeeee) @drlockdown.bsky.social · 3d

Aside from the whole licensing debacle... doesn't he only appear in one issue of the manga? From what I've read, he doesn't even do anything. Just shows up, blows some shit up, then goes away.

There's an idea for a CW/AOTP versus review, but the amount of effort it would take means it won't be for a while.

Right now I'm under a mountain of work, both YouTube and IRL.

Imma be real; I'm glad I slept through those reveals.

Not much and they're overpriced. Like...can we have a hobby these days that doesn't cost a kidney?

Side note, I won't be livestreaming for the next Fan First event. Not particularly interested in GI Joe stuff, plus I've got a date night and snuggles over The Grand Tour are better than GI Joe. Sorry. I don't make the rules.

Anyway, countdown to Legacy continues (yes that's what this is, no duh).
