Brackets, easy! Lost Age! Series Song


I don't recall if I posted this before or not, but even if I did, I'm doing it again. Because this is amazing. My affinity towards One Step Changers/Turbo Changers is well known, as is my love for commercials. I think my appreciation of silly goofy fun is also pretty well known, I know, I'm such a weirdo. What kind of jerk enjoys himself with his hobbies? So as I'm currently having a stressful week at work, I could use a laugh and this commercial is just so silly. There's a certain charm to watching the cast of Age of Extinction/Lost Age in One Step Changer/Turbo Changer form put on a little song and dance number.

Man, I really need that big Optimus.

Stinger like a bee


It should come to no surprise that when the movie studios series was announced, Stinger was the one I was most interested in. Now that they're up for order... well, I got to wait... despite how many people complaining about how much they hate the movies, the designs, how horrible the toys are, the everything is horrible and terrible and blah blah blah... they sure did sell out super fast. I'm sure Walmart will have it soon enough. Maybe Target. Either way, I must have that Stinger. I have no logical explanation for why I like Stinger so much, but I do. He's easily one of my favorite movie bots and I just want as much as I can get.

Yes, I bought all the Walmart school supplies with him on it.

So, Stinger MP soon?

I think that was amazing


Somewhere in time this commercial for www.jd.com (a Chinese retail juggernaut) happened and boy did it happen. Basically, Bumblebee is getting his honeycomb kicked by a generic Decepticon and oh man he's down for the count. Fortunately, somebody ordered what appears to be the Marvel G2 version of the Matrix from jd.com (the shipment apparently comes from the same factory that makes Robots In Disguise toys) and Optimus helps the delivery. In the meantime the delivery truck is also a Transformer and the jd.com mascot shows up to help bring Bumblebee the magic of the apparent matrix and he's got his second wind.

It's a really neat commercial and decently animated with what's obviously not the movie CGI models, but clearly based on them. Perhaps a lower res version that's cheaper to animate for things like this. It gets props for using the AOE Bumblebee look, which I've always really like. Though, I'm not sure of the age, so it could have been from AOE marketing.

Legions OMG

My pal Shawn saw that I still needed that Megatron/Beserker Autobots Unite Legion set and set me a care package with some extra bots!
