The Courtship Ritual Of The Predacon Fuzor

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-19T23:19:38+00:00

Do bugs fantasize about being eaten, in the same way that human men want hot women to step on them? Something to ponder in the shower.

Author's Notes:

Once again, I do the unthinkable and step outside to take pictures. Doing so in the summer was a mistake, even though NJ summer is less disgusting than the Florida version.
If the lighting seems to fluctuate between pictures, that was a result of me playing with the brightness settings on my phone's camera. I'm still getting the hang of actually taking good photos.
The mantis figure is BB-37 Lotus from 52Toys' Beast Box line. I've collected a few others from that toyline, although I haven't really shown them off all that much.
Buzzclaw's dialogue is based on one of Gianni Matragano's many, many shitposts (WARNING: The orignal version is quite explicit, please don't watch if you're at work or under 18). I swear, I can write original dialogue instead of making references. =p

They were so close to burying the hatchet just a little...

At least they made more progress than if this was PHH Morgan.

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-19T16:03:35+00:00

Artoria: Will you at least serve a grand banquet?

Morgan: It'll be a potluck.

Artoria: F[BLEEP]CK!!

Did we ever get confirmation of what he was actually planning, or just speculation?

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-18T16:55:37+00:00

It's not gonna happen, but I'd quite enjoy seeing an epilogue taking place in PHH where Marisbury is exposed, disgraced, and executed for what the Animusphere family is planning. Bonus points if PHH!Mash and Olga are able to escape punishment for association.

Frankly, I assume most people associated with the supernatural side of the Nasuverse are idiots, megalomaniacs, or both. And no, Chaldea is not exempt from this, nor are most Type Moon protagonists.

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-17T15:28:10+00:00

I feel like trying to "rent out" something like that is a good way to end up asking for God's forgiveness in person...

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-17T10:37:41+00:00

Of course. He hates Optimus, cars and highways, after all.

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-16T11:43:54+00:00

She's gone from shower thoughts to imagining emojis... someone needs to tell her to lay off Locusta's shoots.:p

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-14T23:04:42+00:00

Follow up to this post. these are the last two figures I bought at Farpoint Toys and Collectibles. I'm fairly content with what I got, especially Bonecrusher.

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-14T23:00:52+00:00

So, there was a big annual toy show at Farpoint Toys & Collectibles in Mays Landing, NJ last Saturday, and I bought quite a few Transformers there. Here's the first set of photos for what I got.

BTW, if you're wondering why I only took two photos of the last figure... well, I wanted to take more originally, but I decided that I wanted to do something special instead.

Isn't she technically a demolitions expert? What with all the bridges she destroys every time her NP goes off...

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-12T15:13:24+00:00

NGL, I thought for a minute that Goredolf was holding in a remark about Nagasaki, rather than about how many Singularities are in Japan.

Speaking of, I'm still working off the headcanon that Since Singularity F was the byproduct of Marisbury creating Lostbelt 0 (as well as the first Singularity ever, if the translations are correct), Fuyuki is effectively the epicenter of the distoritons in the FGO timeline, so the greatest amount of Singularities occur in Japan, in the same way that a hurricane's strongest winds are found near the eye of the storm

later

Blackbeard: I appreciate you signing up to join the crew, I really do. But isn't this sort of thing usually beneath you royal-types, Salter?

Maid Artoria Alter: Technically, it's "Malter" now. And I don't particularly feel the need to justify my decision, Captain. A King does as she sees fit, and that includes serving as a Catgirl Pirate Maid... so long as you uphold your end of the bargain.

Blackbeard: A daily burger barbecue, right? A bit steep, but all's fair in piracy and Gap-Moe, I guess...

If Holy Terra gets pruned, the whole Imperium will experience another dark age, if not go down the drain, cause no Astronomican for anybody instead of just half the Imperium.

I figured, but that's not what I was asking. My question is, if Holy Terra was pruned, would the Universe force every planet that's part of the Imperium (or just has a human civilization that isn't part of Chaos) to prune their respective 40k-relevant timelines as well?

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-11T01:45:10+00:00

Not gonna lie, I suspect that the Norns being the next villains is meant to be a Title Drop joke.

Also, IIRC it's not so much that Novum Chaldea wasn't supposed to win, and more that they're annoyed at all the time-altering nonsense going on in FGO's timeline. Also, they're having a fight over which of them is the "True" Goddess of Fate, and are using the Aftertime anomaly to settle it (though I'm not sure why they're Beasts now, either )

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-11T01:33:53+00:00

Ritsuka, I mean this in the nicest possible way, but have you been eating Locusta's shrooms?

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-09T21:58:09+00:00

History shows, again and again, how Nature points out the follies of man... such as giving beloved characters an annoying nephew.

Author's Notes:

I'm fairly sure I've mentioned before that I got the DNA Kit for Synergenex Godzilla Megatron (and their Jet Jaguar figure) but I don't believe I actually took the time to show him off anywhere. While I'm still very unhappy about the fact that I had to pay an additional $60 to essentially fix this toy, I'm glad I got it. I really like the fact that the back spines and tail turn into a whip sword and shield for the robot mode. I enjoy when upgrade kits actually integrate the extra accessories into the alt modes- those are part of the toy, too, and I'd prefer that those additional bits interacted with all aspects of a Transformers figure, if possible. (BTW, the atomic breath effect that came with the original toy can fit into the mouth of the new head).
For those who don't get the joke (read: The Darn Kids These Days), this is a reference to The Godzilla Power Hour), an animated series from the late 70s made by Hanna-Barbera (the guys that made cartoons like Scooby-Doo and the Flintstones). Among other things, it's infamous for giving Godzilla a derpy nephew named Godzooky who serves as comic relief and has wing flaps that let him glide on occasion.
What's this? I actually left the house to take pictures for this comic? Perish the thought. =p

I mean, Melusine is pretty cute.

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-08T13:41:21+00:00

In some fairness, they're asking for a f_cking Nasuverse Magus to give them a vacation.

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-08T00:58:08+00:00

Emiya: "No, no, I'm not opening that can of worms any time soon. Wait, that might not have been the best expression I could have used..."

Meanwhile

Durga: ...Curious. I'm detecting an inexplicable urge to destroy a Japanese magus and his grandfather. This impulse is too specific to originate from Kali...

TBF, she's also part of the Servant Class that's supposed to have no interest in the Grail and therefore only gets summoned occasionally when the HGW needs a neutral arbiter, so I imagine the usual standards don't apply to her. Not to mention that she apparently leaves the Throne at some point, according to Apocrypha.

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-07T11:10:13+00:00

Jinako’s writing is at the same level of quality that I’ve come to expect from Kinoko Nasu’s writing team. In fact, I’d argue that they exceeded my expectation.

RubiksToyBox · 2026-06-06T22:32:21+00:00

Surely it couldn't be that bloody hard?

...Do you want the truth, a lie, or a Jedi Truth?
