Oh hey, when did it turn into September? Yes, we’re a little tardy on rounding up last month’s load of top Transformers tweets, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t plenty of good stuff here to get tucked into. So without further ado, gorge yourself on the best that Transformers Twitter had to offer in August – presented in date order!

You know I hear about people talking about how they love the darker tone of Seige, but would like stronger performance from the voice acting.

If you have kids, then there’s no doubt you did all kinds of arts and crafts over the last six months or so, but it’s always good to discover your inner Autobot!

As that last, stupid edit blew up out of nowhere, I was curious as to what other characters may look good with a battle mask.
So I had a go at designing one for Arcee, which I think suits her very well. https://t.co/Hg7LcrUE4n pic.twitter.com/dhI8Q4dmj6

All those years of battle masks in Transformers fiction suddenly seem a little different with today’s context, eh?

And to round us out, here’s this very memeable image of Action Master Megatron. Just what was he pointing at, anyway?
So that’s our list. Did we miss any other great Transformers tweets?
