We’re already ploughing through 2021 at a seemingly unprecedented rate, which means it must surely be time for another monthly round-up of the best that Transformers Twitter has to offer, eh? And let me say, the standard for this month was *high*.
As ever, they’re presented in date order (but not really), so feast your eyes below!

There’s definitely some atmosphere amongst my house guests!
No one thought 2020 would turn out like this but it’s afforded me the opportunity to make these, despite appearances it has certainly helped keep me sane.
Your support has meant a lot, thank you.😊🤖 pic.twitter.com/L3niz5eq7P— Steve Cook (@SDC_MisterJazzz) August 13, 2020
We’ve featured Steve’s amazing work before but it bears showcasing again, particularly as this line-up of his creations is just something else!

Here’s a little Throwback Thursday look at some concept art I did back in 2017 for the folks at Machinima on their Power of the Primes cartoon.

Look Hasbro. You’ve got no major, big budget, Transformers video games on the horizon. So throw us a bone here, jump in Gigawatt & get these games up on modern consoles. If they can resurrect Star Wars Podracer – you can bring these back. Cheers. Xx pic.twitter.com/ag8saVNR10

I hate hearing people bash Transmutate for being scary or ugly. That episode is a beautiful parable about children born with autism, disabilities, and deformities. Only making surface-deep observations and drawing conclusions from them is one of the things it warns you not to do. pic.twitter.com/ml6Ngg5dvZ
