What’s that, another month gone by? So it seems! In fact it’s incredible to think that we’re in May of 2021 already but there it is. Fortunately it means it’s also time to celebrate with another round of top Transformers tweets.
As ever, they’re sort of (only sort of) in date order. Enjoy!

Who doesn’t love a fantastic callback, eh? This is one for that Leonardo DiCaprio meme.

There’s always joy to be had in seeing other people’s fabulous toy displays… especially when they’re as good as this!

Toys like this are what the phrase “holy grail” was really meant for.

Custom Action Master Jetfire! He will be auctioned for charity later in the year, make sure to follow me to keep up to date!! pic.twitter.com/njnOnOvvij

This isn’t the first amazing Action Master custom that we’ve seen (as the fourth pic will testify) but it is one of the best! Outstanding.

It’s fair to say that the new Teletraan 1 / Mainframe mash-up idea has gone down well.

also thinking about this photograph, which is
1) the cartoon ark
2) transformed into marvel comics' the last autobot
3) holding beast wars' the golden diskthis toy is a continuity turducken pic.twitter.com/tklKk6QSZO
— I'LL BE A LIVING GOD (@damnyouwillis) April 10, 2021
I’ve never considered the words ‘continuity’ and ‘turducken’ together in a sentence before but now it’s all I can think about.

Understandable.

I mentioned that people were loving Mainframe, right? Well, how good is this?

I shan’t tell you all the things I did at 14 that I think were way worse than owning this toy.

Distinct Action Master Wheeljack vibes.

Ooof, that’s an amazing haul.

There is just something romantic about having the original designer of Diaclone Car Robot No. 9 Honda City Turbo (G1 1985 Skids) in Kojin Ono / 大野 光仁 from back in 1982 also work on and design the new Transformers MP-53 Skids pic.twitter.com/R68tM4owie
— Daniel Arseneault "Protoman" (@Protoman) April 16, 2021
The circle is complete!

My favourite thing about G1 pic.twitter.com/zPB3lh3mos
— Spoon888 (@doomspoon888) April 15, 2021
Also consider that those animation errors would go on to become someone’s favourite characters.

Here are some concepts that have been on my mind for the longest time. MP Lockdown based on Guido Guidi's G1 Lockdown and Shattered Glass Goldbug using the SS86 Hotrod body (because Cybertron Hotshot is a pretty blatant homage). pic.twitter.com/R2Skyz4pSw
— RVDA (@rick_akker) April 17, 2021
Conceptually good.

The guy does not get enough appreciation. See also The Rebirth.

One of the best bits in a movie full of best bits is the bit in Transformers The Movie when Unicron's tits blow up and he realises he's so fucked the immediate response is to pull off his own leg.

Would any of us do differently?

A gentle reminder that The Transformers – The Movie is one of the most brutal films ever made. I’m pretty sure it’s when I really first found out about death, or at least when it really hit me for real that it was something that happened to people… pic.twitter.com/NRgpWiACQi

All of your favourites in one tweet!

So this is a silver chromed version of Toyco Astro Magnum, the figure that would of course go on to become G1 Shockwave. And it’s delicious!

【ホットロッドのマトリクス収納法】
DMで「スタジオシリーズのロディはマトリクス収納出来ないのが残念です」との問い合わせが多いのでここで記載します。
固定はできませんが収納出来ます。

Neat little trick that’s worth knowing if you have Studio Series Hot Rod!
