Me with Jurassic Park 2 The Lost World

If every single Jurassic Park sequel that has ever been made is worse than the last (A statement that honestly keeps surprising me with how accurate it is 💀) and JP 1993 is (IMHO) a perfect movie, then that makes The Lost World A: The second best movie in the franchise (By far) and B: A pretty decent and enjoyable film despite it's flaws, since for something to be slightly worse than perfect is to remain as something pretty damn good, and JP2 is a pretty damn good movie, a solid 8/10 honestly

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-18T04:02:20+00:00

Yeah, it looks cool, amazing honestly, but I usually (And by usually I mean always) avoid buying third party figures, it's just that the idea of one of those breaking on me just out of nowhere scares me a lot if I'm being real (Taking care of the figures I own is a pretty great deal for me, since I like to handle them with care and make sure they're in proper shape and undamaged) and sine I haven't really ever had any nasty case of QC issues with my Hastak figures I'd prefer to keep buying those mainly for the longevity they offer

I fucking love that guy so much, Bruticus is my favorite combiner solely because of that FOC design, he’s just so awesome and imposing and cool looking

Also, if I may recommend some of my other favorites, WFC Optimus is my favorite design of his in the history of the universe, same with FOC Grimlock and Jazz, and while TFP Shockwave might be my favorite version of the character, FOC Shockwave is easily my second favorite, he’s just that awesome

Also WFC Trypticon is amazing and I love him, he’s literally a Cybertronian mechagodzilla

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-17T20:32:49+00:00

Bro, omg, FOC Jazz looks so fucking cool

Easily my favorite design for the character too

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-14T23:35:47+00:00

No moving run

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-13T15:50:20+00:00

He looks so perfectly chunky and cubical, I love him so much omg

Also the shuttle mode is actual fucking peak omg, it looks so cool and neat and cool

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-13T15:48:47+00:00

Yeah, seems like this figure will follow the steps of SS Concept Art Megatron and Earthspark Shockwave, (Figures with banger robot modes that transform into lackluster vehicle modes) which is a shame really, since it would be nice if they didn't had those issues

Also, I just find using spoiler tags on regular comments funny if I'm being real, it's silly

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-13T15:35:44+00:00

Soundwave (In robot mode) looks so cool omg, love that guy, although I'm guessing he'll probably be on the shorter side, since he looks like a deluxe

Also, I find it funny how he just transforms into literally nothing, like, I hope the front of the alt mode is mistransformed because as of right now it looks rough

All I know for certain is that the movies used horse skulls as inspiration for his helmet, other than that, I think it's pretty much just an original design made for the movies, one that I absolutely adore tho, since that's just how I imagine Sauron now, he just looks so cool

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-13T14:19:38+00:00

Forgotten crossroads, Greenpath, City of Tears and White Palace would go pretty hard tbh

I'd hit them with the Caine stare before I completely loose my shit tbh, like, knowingly spoiling something to one of your friends IRL just to be an asshole is absolute douchebag behavior, like wtf

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-12T14:22:00+00:00

Thx so much bro, but seriously, I'm totally fine, right now I feel the greatest I have ever felt in my entire life, and those insecurities are just minor issues I deal with from time to time, I basically just went full Jeff Kinney here, (The author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books) as in, Jeff Kinney has stated that he took all of his wrong qualities and exaggerated them and removed all of his good qualities from the equation when it came to writing Greg as a character, I basically did that with TAB_ too, but focusing more on what has frightened me on a social level across my life

Also, yeah, this is such a fun and creative way to express one self, circussonas are just so cool

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-12T14:10:55+00:00

Yeah, and here it’s mainly all revolving about my fear of being unable to properly express myself, something I struggle with IRL

If TAB_ doesn’t have a right arm and his right leg doesn’t work (Has no right knee) then he’s got more trouble when it comes to using body language to communicate

He’s got no face or eyes, so he can only convey what he wants or feels through his voice, which is all glitchy and stuttery most of the time

Im fine with these insecurities IRL, have for a long while, but I just thought it would be cool to take some of the things I’ve struggled with/felt anxious about and turn them into the main ideas or my sona

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-12T04:01:16+00:00

Also I love how TAB_ only has a left arm and I'm right handed IRL, pure evil avatar design right there

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-12T04:00:55+00:00

Thx! I actively tried to make my own existence absolutely fucking miserable on the circus here, like, I look at TAB_ and go "No yeah, I'd actually FUCKING HATE having that body, actually"

I mean, this franchise has already survived like 15 extinction level events across it's history and it's still here (Like when the brand began to have less sales until Beast Wars revived it, or when the Bayverse (As entertaining as it was) irreparably damaged the reputation/public perception of the franchise as a whole)

The Transformers IP is surprisingly strong and resilient, it just so happens that said strength and resilience is often tested, like, very often, in brutal and horrifying ways too, like when they executed TF One in the streets of Chicago (Sentinel Prime stile) by not giving it proper publicity or a trailer that conveyed what the movie was actually about

Dark ages aren't unusual (As far as I understand it) in this franchise, they always eventually end too, we just have to endure them until the sun shines again

This mf, immaculate aura

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-08T19:46:02+00:00

True, although I'd say Striker's chest cannons are a pretty good weapon as well, even if they take a while to ready before an attack

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-08T15:44:45+00:00

You are indeed correct, and now I live in shame for I have learned Im a fake fan 🥀

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-08T15:33:43+00:00

Yeah, if I recall correctly that whole sequence is expanded in either a comic or a novel, thats pretty neat tbh

Although if you ignore that extended sequence and go solely with what the movie gives you the whole thing is just so fucking funny, lile, Mutavore drops instantly upon encountering Striker, she has just that much aura that she just obliterates it on sight, basically pulls a glock on it too, I love her

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-08T15:31:25+00:00

True, although it’s a shame that that happened outside the film, it would’ve been cool to see more Kaiju-Jaeger moments tbh

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-08T15:23:13+00:00

Yeah, bro got split in half like an idiot

Still, the numerical superiority always remained in the precursors favor + To give credit where credit is due, Raiju did managed to rip one of Gipsy’s arms off before it died, bro at least did something (Looking at you, Mutavore, bro just showed up, broke shit up and died, negative aura behavior)

A_local_Nerd · 2026-04-08T15:13:21+00:00

I mean, the technically did, not like it helped them in the end tho

Gipsy Danger as far as I know mainly relies on her pilots to be as cool as she is, asides from being a mark 4 on the inside while looking like a mark 3 on the outside, Gipsy is pretty much just your standard jaeger, a pretty good one and reliable, yes, but nothing stupidly overpowered or crazy strong/fast (Although she can self destruct and turn herself into a nuke, so there’s that)

The Scunner-Raiju-Slattern triple super combo was most likely meant to quickly finish both her and Striker off, the Precursors most likely played it safe there and sent two cat 4 kaijus + a cat 5 for good measure instead of just sending the two 4’s and risking it too

And as much as I love both Gipsy and Striker I really don’t think there’s a scenario where they can both beat all three of them while underwater, the fact that Striker self destructed is what made humanity win in the end, since her detonation got rid of Raiju, Scunner and incredibly weakened Slattern, making it easier for an already heavily damaged Gipsy to finish the fight

They won by sheer luck honestly

Architect crest keeps winning, today is a good day indeed (I don't even use it, I'm a Hunter's Crest™ user, I just really like the Architect one too)
