Luckily we have 3rd parties who don't give a shit. Like this action figure company that made a totally-not-Arcee figure with ... features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NCHLi5M2q4 (great review by the way)
Imagine the mental gymnastics to make a robot transgender…
And the whole idea that the spark is something completely separate from the machine (which admittedly makes sense in the context of Transformers) is just reheated Gnosticism. This trans stuff is always reheated Gnosticism. Some heresies just don't go away.
Indeed. Most "spiritual but not religious" people repeat dead heresies.
That's one attractive robot. Why would it need boobs, though?
Because it looks nice.
How vain of her, lol.
maybe they're missiles?
Well, that's apparently a thing:

Dumb question: Is there some connection between IDW and Hasbro? Or is it just some agreement that made it so IDW could use their IPs?
Licensing. IDW forked over enough cash to get the ball rolling with the TF and G.I.Joe licenses after Devil's Due (one of Image's imprints) lost the license. When IDW first started publishing the books back in 05 and 08 they weren't nearly so woke and the story lines were actually good. They kept bringing in the money, so Hasbro kept renewing the license. The books went woke, they dropped readers, revenue dropped, and Hasbro opted to not renew the licensing.
The MLP FIM comics have the same issues with at least one of the artists/writers getting caught slipping in refrences to known regressive leftists that were associating with the brony community.
The MLP license may have expired with the end of FIM, but I don't know.
finally, we can get some grimdark M rated pony novels.
Maybe hasbro will take it as a warning for their own brands. Like maybe start cleaning house at wizards of the coast.
Unless they unban several cards and anyone they wrongfully banned like the quartering, I recommend going the pirate route if you want to play ANYTHING from hasbro.
I forgot all about magic. I was thinking about the retconning in dnd they are currently pursuing
I've switched over to looking at alternative OSR rules that aim to capture the feel of the old redbox or AD&D, in that respect. That and sailing the seas looking for PDFs of anything that's pre-3.0. It's also worth noting that you can find the entire run of Dungeon magazine uploaded to Archive.org, so one can easily find more adventures than you can shake a wand at.
Walled: The Emptying, otoh, can go get fucked.
that's what you get for hiring trannies
the author of one of their GI joe books, being against america, lmao
I loved the GI Joe Marvel comics from the 80s. The early 00s Image ones were good too. I heard IDW made it woke
Wonder if Sonic is gonna get Hot Potatoed again.
Hasblows gi joe is COMPLAINING that they are "too AMERICAN"
....
fire that bitch outta canon, lmao
and they made a tranny transformer.... thats ironic on SO many levels.... ahahahah do transformers even have cock/balls? how did this robot "feeL" like a tranny" lmao, the questions are boundless with SJW literature porn.
sounds good that they lost the liscense, eh bois?
I've got a few issues of the Marvel series from the '80s/'90s. It says "A Real American Hero" right on the cover.
Transformers had a trans-analogue decades ago, in the Beast Machines "Rat-trap". The dismorphia between what his assault-class bodyframe used to be, was supposed to be, compared to the meager rat body he was stuck in, was a focal point of multiple episodes. That's about as "realistic" as you're gonna get, for genderless multi-formed transformable entities.
Holy fuck, some common sense still exists.
Good to see someone at Hasbro doesn't want their IP's that are primarily toys for 8 year old boys being tied to the tranny freakshow going on at IDW.
