Thinking about Hot House, the fire department A-10 Thunderbolt.
The person buying gear for the department read "fire support" on a spec sheet and said "oh perfect, that sounds like something we could use!"

(Apex gets a rough time from people who are mad that it isn't Titanfall 3, but I promise it's really good! Genuinely the nicest-feeling shooter I've ever played. Plus it stars Catalyst, iconic cringe nerd trans witch.)

Was trying to make a point about how much the animation models for all the 1986 Scramble City guys suck, and drew this harrowing look at an alternate reality where the reference material available for drawing Optimus Prime's animation model was just as bad.

Got curious, wanted to see what the Bruticus animation model - the lineart for which actually skews way closer to the toys than any of the individual Combaticons' animation models generally do - would look like if it was coloured correctly.
(It looks way better.)

Watched Underwater as my seasonal horror viewing tonight, a film about evil deepsea fishmen where the least realistic part is that we're asked to believe that this KStew character is straight.

To be fair, if you ignore how it got coloured, it's kind of more toy-accurate than Swindle's robot or vehicle models!

I met it in person today, waited till the Hasbro guy was away so I could take a picture with an iconic flop.

I think it's supposed to be a Cybertronian-mode version of his Legacy toy, judging by the design art.

It's truly tragic that the non-exclusive reuse of the Range-Viper tooling is this Valaverse-looking snoozefest. Skull Buster was right there as an option...!

I think IDW raised the bar for new Titan characters unsustainably high with Chela, the giant golden bird who's fucking Metrotitan.
Batterseatron never had a chance. I bet he's not even fucking anyone.

Oh wait hang on, and did even those chimneys just get sloppily edited onto the art after the fact???

It feels really stupid that Batterseatron's robot mode doesn't actually have any brickwork from alt mode visible, just generic robot parts that are incidentally the same colour as the brickwork. The chimneys are the only actual Battersea Power Station parts on him.

Cobra CLAW came in, so I enacted my plan to swap the pilot's two alternate heads onto my tan Valkyries to make Marvel-colours ones! Really pleased with how they look.
