We’re back without another monthly round-up of the very best that Transformers Twitter had to offer over the last 4 weeks or so! July was an extraordinary month, but here are the best tweets that caught our eye, presented in date order! And yes, at least a few of them were about Earthrise Scorponok…
#47:
So lets see how Transformers R.E.D. figures compare to properly coloured models.@walruslaw @transformertoys @Guido_Guidi @tfwiki pic.twitter.com/4l9aM1Kwt5
— D.M (@DaGrimBo) June 27, 2020
The Transformers R.E.D. line is starting to look really quite enticing, and here’s a great look at just how accurate the toys we’ve seen so far are versus their animation models!

People talking about ideas for a R.E.D. line Build-a-Figure when the choice is so obvious pic.twitter.com/1uPQaGxrS8
— Out of Context Transformers (@NoContextTFs) June 26, 2020
Speaking of R.E.D., this is just a *genius* idea waiting to happen… if only.

Whilst most people think of the Mainframe cartoon when they imagine Beast Wars, it’s always interesting to see an alternate take on the ’90s series – especially when it’s brought to life as stunningly as this!
#44:
Look Hasbro – just let me make this okay? Two series! pic.twitter.com/iITPiITNFi

100% would watch.

If you don’t let out an involuntary “F— yeah!” during this then you need to check your pulse.

This is the first of several Gigawatt lols that caught our eye this month and definitely one of the best.

Oh I get it.. He goes back in TIME. pic.twitter.com/zFV6Lo7pLW

Never put it past the Transformers fandom to make a surprisingly clever comparison between two entirely unrelated toys from almost four decades apart.

SPOILERS for Dark of the Moon (even if it was 9 years ago!). And yep!
#32:
A Norwegian Toy Con just finished, and they had a con exclusive Transformer. Here's DEATHCOBRA #NTC2020 pic.twitter.com/TPjFYpj0Uu
— Norm – low skilled/waged essential worker (@norminator) July 5, 2020
How interesting is this? Deathcobra was a character in the Japanese Victory cartoon series during G1, but never had a corresponding toy. Now he does! Just a shame it’s so exclusive, but how great to see someone take the initiative!

There were many, MANY Scorpnok tweets this month. A LOT. Jon’s reaction was all of us though.
#29:
Decepticons be like “I know a place” and then take you to a giant fortress shaped like a Decepticon symbol carved in the side of a mountain… pic.twitter.com/VQa9VTtq3P

Sometimes you just need the absurdity of your favourite franchise pointed out to you.

Soundwave still superior though.

Takara Diaclone Car Robot No.7 Fairlady Z 280Z – aka "Blue Bluestreak" (1984).
20 years I've been after this, and finally bought it for myself for my 40th birthday this year. I'd never seen it in person, and never thought I'd ever own it. A very fortuitous -and happy- purchase! pic.twitter.com/vNDfXySQ1j

This is quite the prize! Congrats to Maz on a *stunning* purchase!
