Optimus is surprisingly (or perhaps unsurprisingly) cool about it.
The humans have marked him with symbols of defiance against the local paramilitary enforcers.
Jazz is really enjoying this.
I bought this issue just for the newspaper ads, and they're fantastic!
Flash #31
I can confirm there are more classified ads in the next issue :)
Batman beat the hell out of me and knocked me to the floor.
I got back up and knocked him to the floor.
He was being such a jackoff.
Smokescreen references! All gathered off of the TFWiki. He's so brightly colored I love him.
Smokescreen is kind of a non-entity as a character (which may kind of be the point?) but his altmode is impossibly cool.
I love the transformers fandom because someone will post something like 'omg i love spingtron he's everything to me!' and you'll go to the tfwiki to find that spingtron was a character who was in 2 panels of a single marvel comic that was only sold in Scotland on rainy days in December 1989
The “Prime Satellite” characters all “wait, you got to be in a comic?!”
Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons, 1967
this is incredible model work - i swear to god i thought someone had dressed up a bunch of Real Dolls and put them in a vintage Conversation Pit.

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes
The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve.
Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.
If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.
Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.
This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!
Not only will this ruin a core element of Tumblr, it will make it very difficult to tell where and when a post is getting traction. People are on this website because it isn't Twitter. Making it more like Twitter will turn people away.
The last thing this website needs is a culture of catty twitter-style quote-retweets. This will actively encourage more toxic users to interact with your posts because their traffic will be more difficult to track.
This decision sucks.
and while we’re at it, fuck this idea that ONE ACCOUNT has to belong uniquely to ONE PERSON. This is the same thing these silicon valley fucks want; their vision of the future where everyone has a unique biometric ID code implanted in their body is the ultimate extension of Netflix’s “no password sharing” policy. You want to use your friend’s car? Sorry, you can’t, you need to be an authorized user. Your mother wants to let you look something up on her OED account? Too bad! That’s only for her! The concept of perfect market efficiency gives them greedy little money bag eyes.
If I pay money to have a newspaper sent to my house, they don’t charge me extra when I show it to my dad. This password sharing thing isn’t just a Netflix problem; don’t be surprised if it shows up elsewhere in other forms. Stamp this idea out now or we’ll be stuck with it.
This is by far the most popular post I have and I have to say: good, I’m right. Password sharing and ID verification are going to kill the internet. not oooh in 50 years. in like 5 more.
this is why these companies hate libraries.
As a being of pure logic and intellect Shockwave has come to the conclusion and realization that he is in fact a fictional character living in a fictional world.
Now he logically deduces he must get in contact with his creators to have them rewrite the universe to fit his vision.
Hey, is this a good time to point out that there is an entire section of wiki called You, and that our universe is called Quadwal?
Like there is an entire section dedicated to pointing out that no, when the characters are doing an ad break and calling out you, or the packaging addresses you in some way, they are actually addressing the audience and you as an individual specifically, and you are very indirectly interacting and influencing the universes you are watching and or reading and don't realize it, just as they can influence you very indirectly, and also it doesn't seem like they can pinpoint a singular individual or choose who they're talking to.
So for example, if you buy a toy or call while a comic or show is running, or interact with the franchise or fandom in any way, the only thing it influences is what the author chooses to depict, and because the multiverse exists it basically means that depiction is inevitably accurate, and it also influences how much of that universe's events we get to see.
But it also means that unless it's a story where the outcome is directly determined by the audience or a choose your own adventure, the only extent where the viewer is indirectly or directly interacting with the universe is through buying the toys that directly address you specifically.
Like, it's canon that someone accidentally blew up Sideways' head via a very stupid question in an ask column, indirectly aiding in saving Vector Prime from being kidnapped, so yes it's possible that Shockwave could get in touch with our universe, and it's entirely possible that our influence extends that far, however, it's only canon if Hasbro makes it so, and someone doesn't retcon it.
So it's a yesn't situation where Shockwave will eventually have to acknowledge that the only way our universe's choices could significantly affect a character in any continuity, is if A.) the author allowed it, B.) Vector Prime or any other characters aware of Quadwal allowed it, or C.) popularity or demand for a certain outcome over others in Quadwal was recognized, D.) a mixture of all the above. And then Hasbro has to make it canon.
Essentially if he wanted to get a victory, or even mild help through Quadwal in any way, Shockwave would have to be meta arguing with both corporate, the author, and the audience, all while fending off other characters trying to sabotage his attempts.
And even then, there really isn't a guarantee that he'd actually get useful help, especially if he settles on trying to get the author to put in a reader insert. Even Vector Prime in the wiki on humans pointed out that humans don't like being depicted as being able to stand on equal footing as Cybertronians, if at all, so if we the audience can barely handle a human being in the story, what would even make Shockwave so confident that appealing to Quadwal would even work?
Wowww this is actually pretty cool; I had no knowledge about this at all. This also seems like an untapped well for some hilarious crack fanfiction.
Shockwave is just losing his absolute mind trying to get- what are essentially fourth dimension gods to him, to listen to logical reason while they are just going mental in the background.
You know in the undertale/deltarune fandom people with make depictions of the Player and fandom. I should do the same thing. 🤔
Also noteworthy - TFWiki is now such a vital reference to official creators that the actual literal designs of toy releases are directly affected by wiki image selections.
To the point where Wiki editors are intentionally trying to make sure said images are color-corrected so we don’t get another weirdly miscolored Horri-Bull.
dude fucking hell RIP rebecca heineman
not only was she like, a super programmer (burgerlib was one of the most comprehensive and battle tested hardware abstraction libraries that you never knew about, also somehow squeezing wolf 3d to fit and perform well on an apple II GS) even more than that, i remember her as an artist and writer, whose numerous fan creations set the blueprint for what we see today in the exact same spaces (her sailor moon and ranma fics, and of course all of her original works)
Rebecca Heineman ported Doom to the 3DO all by herself in only 10 weeks with barely any resources courtesy of a dumb-as-fuck boss who didn't even know what coding was. She worked miracles to get that game out the door in a playable state. RIP to a legend.
I had heard her late wife’s name before, Jennell Jaquays, speficically in regards to “Jaquaysing the Dungeon”. Both were notable trailblazing trans women and Jennell’s activism directly led to conversion therapy being banned for trans minors under Obama. Both had illustrious careers and shaped the landscape of TTRPGs and their digital descendants today. End of an era.

George Tiller Did Nothing Wrong.
(And neither did she. Or you.)
The City of Atlanta Georgia has decided to demolish the research and conservation center of the Amphibian Foundation. This organization works tirelessly to conserve the Frogs, Toads, Salamanders, Newts, and other amphibians in the United States. In addition, they provide key education for herpetologists on the care, conservation, and preservation of reptiles and amphibians.
This emergency need is compounded by the government mass firing of conservation officials and the pulling of funds from many of the country's conservation organizations.
If you can help please donate here:
The building where AF is located will be demolished in June 2026.
Key points from the Amphibian Foundation.
Our building will be demolished in 2026, and we need to identify a new location (or locations) for 7 labs and over 1,000 animals, many of which are endangered and part of critical conservation programs.
We've identified a new location for most of AF, but not our research and conservation programs. We have an amazing lead, but it's not confirmed yet.
Our first fundraising project is the AF Emergency Fund as the minimum cost estimates to move this many labs and animals safely is $50,000. (It costs about 50 USD per animal to move them)
If you can't donate.. please share... here.. and everywhere else.
What the fuck, Atlanta. For shame.
Ska coming back? Baby ska never left.
I know y'all freaks listen to wrong way by Sublime.
I know what y'all like.
It's ska.
People crave ska music.
(Although my personal fav song is either S F D D or would you be impressed.)
Ska now more than ever
Still the greatest magazine cover of all time. Why are they framed in shadow. Why is the text so stark. Why is this being framed like the poster with the villains on it for a superhero movie. This summer: a new sexual identity emerges. The bisexuals will change the hierarchy of the DC Universe forever
Also, the guy in the middle looks like he just realized he left the oven on.
