UltraMarginal

@p_former Yea, he turned in to a real bad lot of publicity. But the food is still pretty good

I’m gonna lose weight by just eating at Subway like that America. guy did. What ever happened to him? Oh no. Oh NO!

@CaseyWColler My other favourite comic property is the Phantom. I'd like to see a lot of the IDW transformers artists have a go at him. I know Frew often commission new covers for a lot of their issues.

@Ultra_Marginal Oh yes. I’d love to do other things too. I haven’t exactly pushed to do more transformers art since the license shifted to Skybound, so that’s partially on me. But in this case there was something particularly appealing about doing a very toy-detailed piece to be packed in w/it.

SG Magnus Man, I loved doing those SG pack-in comic covers. Would love to do something like that again.

@epicvoiceguy A long as you continue to be awesome and drop in on the Twincast from time to time, I'll be happy.

Heads up, users! I will not respond to spam, personal inquiries, questions on how I get auditions/book roles/my clients’/representation’s contact info. Still lub all the nice users who don’t spam, don’t ask about my personal life, aren’t hateful towards me or my kids or unprofessional! 🥰🫶

@MikeSibertRadio @ApodDcast That's a very high bar

As a TV to movie continuation, the Mandalorian and Grogu is no Transformers: The Movie (Graphic by @ApodDcast )

Where is your god now, scale queens

@SixoTF This is the only version I have of that mould. So, this guy...

Blades or Evac? I wrote a thing about them --> LINK BELOW

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it. This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." - Tony Locke

@ToyboxSoapbox I remember this on tv in Australia too.

I often think about this show. It used to be on The Children's Channel after the cartoon blocks of Transformers, MASK, Action Force, Heathcliffe, Robotech, MOTU, etc. As a small child in mid 1980 something, I used to be sad as it signalled the end of those toons for the day.

@tf_starfire @SpringerWrecker Goodbye sleep, hello happy parenthood! Congratulations!

My Fellow Transformers fans. I come to you today with an urgent announcement: BEHOLD! MY CHILD!

@ToyboxSoapbox I like that a lot

"We are the Override, oh..."

@CaseyWColler Thank you. Of course. Using tools to create has been a thing since before the wheel. Tools change, though. Not all tools are good tools. AI will eventually be a primary tool of society. Which is scary. Until it actually becomes sentient and decides it's better off without us.

@Ultra_Marginal I’m not against software. I use procreate. Musicians use pro-tools. I don’t know the extent of what you do as an engineer but it sounds like you are designing and creating something purposeful and meaningful and that sounds way more like art to me than an ai image.

One thing from the comments in my “ai isn’t art” post that I’d like to address is the idea that I’m “gatekeeping” That couldn’t be farther from the truth. I hope any person who has a desire to create art follows that drive and finds joy in the process. 1/?

@CaseyWColler I'm also terrified that the use of AI is going to destroy independent, truly creative thought in all facets of society.

@CaseyWColler In a similar way that understanding a problem and creating a spreadsheet that holds an analysis, with a readable flow, clear inputs, references, meaningful boundary conditions, that gives a reasonable real world, repeatable output is also kind of an art.

@JAXORCIST2 I agree that there are a whole lot of great interesting character designs, one of my favourite things about the movies. With Real alt modes. But even while they are coloured distinctly, the tone are very muted in most cases. I can see the criticism, but I also agree it's obtuse

The "Live Action movie Decepticons are grey and generic" is the most annoying, overly exaggerated, un-nuance fandom critique EVER I hate so so much its actually insane

@ChaosTheBond @DrawzFinite Or, he's gone one step further than basic modification and is now replacing whole limbs!

@DrawzFinite He feels less like a modifier of his chassis and more like he was put together from different pieces, differently than another kind of 'con. But seeing this fine piece of art stirs up another idea. What if, he was one of those Combiners made up of drones with one bot running show

I'm bored,

@plastic_craic I recall it being fiddly, but there must be worse

Struggling to think of a mainline transformation I’ve enjoyed less than that
