FEAST WARS!
For November's Patreon-sponsored @tfwiki.net toypic update, we're adding more food to your plate with a smorgasbord of food-former BOTBOTS!

SOUR WING of the Spoiled Rottens may seem sweet, but there's some real biting tart in there, so beware!

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

This could go very badly for all involved.

Well it's over. Final tally is 1386/10k putting it at 13.86% funded. That officially makes it the second lowest backed quantity Haslab after Reva's Lightsaber with 1413, and the lowest percent backed with Cookie Monster beating it at 20.8%.

And this means Tron bombed twice this year. 😒

Entering the final stretch for the Tron Haslab & it's pretty dire. It would need 754 more backers to not be the lowest funding percentage one so far, & I'd be shocked if that happens. I have to wonder if doing a smaller cost & backer total with some parts made into stretch goals might have helped

Ya'know, with the Tron Haslab doing as bad as it is, making het subject of an email on it "End of line" isn't the best choice. when I saw it I assumed they were ending it early instead of pushing a reminder there's three days left to back it.

Final week for the Tron Haslab. I forgot to check totals last week but that said it only 66 new backers since then, so not a big jump. Kinda wondering if any retailer preorder numbers will get dumped in, as you'd think they'd want people to see a big spike. It's gonna take a miracle at this point.

I'll fully admit, I'm pretty bad as marketing so far, so trying to change that. Hopefully people don't mind me popping in an occasional eBay update when we get something vintage, rare, or kinda cool listed. These seem to check all three boxes I think.
We're prepping for the holiday season by getting a load of stuff listed for sale! First up is three sealed vintage ReBoot figures from 1995 and a Talking Big Guy figure from 1999 that amazingly still works! Those are some long lasting batteries in there!

Hit Sprit Holloween on their last day and snagged the Transformers endcap sign they had since it was only $2.50. Now I gotta figure out what I wanna do with it

Checking back in on the Tron Haslab and it looks like it picked up 27 backers. Really feels like they're gonna need to dump retailer orders in to help the numbers jump up. But with this doing so poorly, I wonder how big those numbers would even be. A little under 9k in 20 days is a tall order.

Wonder what scheme blew up in Starscream's face to make him hide put here?

Been a little over a week, time for another look in on how the Tron Haslab goes. There is a little good news at least, it broke 10% funding. If it manages 1005 more and hits 2081, it will pass Cookie Monster and not be the lowest failed percent funded.

Lets take another look at the Tron Haslab. Currently it's at 989 backers, up 136 since the 14th. That puts it at 9.89% funded. It's really not looking good. Makes me wonder if we might see them do something radical before it ends as it's pretty clear this would take a miracle to fund.
October 20, 2025 at 1:56 AM
With the Tron Haslab not looking so hot, I was curious how it stacked up so far to the failed projects. Turns out it's passed Cookie Monster, so it's not going to be the lowest backed total at least. Still it's needs 2081 backers not be the lowest percent backed one, and it's got a long ways to go.

The BotBots got their first taste of the spooky season when a mysterious, ever-growing store haunted the mall in “SPIRIT OF HALLOWEEN”! #Botoween

I can only imagine how frustrating it must have been for everyone involved to make something this good and then never have anyone see it, never be able to talk about it. I'm so glad it finally saw the light of day!

Got a small collection of digs off a friend today. Some Micromaster, G1 Highbrow, 6 Rock Lords, GoBots Staks, and two Bespin Luke's. Most are in fantastic condition. Gonna keep some, mostly the Micromasters, and the rest will go up on the eBay store.

I celebrate this amazing series finding the light of day.

I celebrate the soul who found a way to get it all out.

I celebrate the many who have already watched & validated our incredible work.

And… I know that the “bosses” don’t care b/c it’s still out there.

I had a moment about a week ago where someone texted out of the blue about 👇🏼 and said “aren’t you worried about promoting piracy/theft?”

Of me and my cast/crew’s amazing hard work that got buried for 8 years with no one in charge offering a reason?

No. I’m not worried. 1/

And done! I'm going to clean up season 2 with descriptions and custom thumbnails later, but I got on a roll tonight and the view counts on season 2 were already creeping up so I figured I wouldn't leave anyone hanging. The "lost" Micronauts show is now on YouTube!
