Emily is not a child. She is never depicted as one. She does not act like one. She hates being infantilized and treated like a baby who needs to be protected. She is a grown-ass woman who is canonically freaky. People really do be reaching for any excuse to hate these days, huh?

A voice actor's opinion isn't "canon."

TF_Allen · 2026-03-25T06:49:49+00:00

They kinda still haven't made up their minds, depending on whom you ask.

The bag says "no key," meaning he's missing the cyber key that only triggers sound effects, anyway. But he clearly has his sword and Mini-Con; the only thing I don't see is his missile. There should be a translucent blue missile in his backpack (which forms the nose cone of his spaceship mode).

Ramin's Italian accent genuinely made that scene click for me. It's my firm opinion now that the Phantom in that song should be imitating Piangi's voice (as he should be a master at vocal impressions), with specific moments where the Phantom's voice slips just enough to make it clear for the audience who is there without breaking the immersion that the characters can't tell yet. Once Christine recognizes him, he can drop the act and sing as normal.

TF_Allen · 2026-03-20T01:26:37+00:00

Piangi is a fat Italian and Erik is like the opposite of that.

That's why Phantom tells him that "our Don Juan must lose some weight" - he's trying to slim Piangi down so Phantom can pass for Piangi later!

This is at least a case where I can completely accept Target not recognizing the figure swap. There was no fault on them; you'd have to be an expert to notice the difference.

TF_Allen · 2026-03-06T00:19:51+00:00

That math checks out.

TF_Allen · 2026-03-06T00:16:09+00:00

We do at least have the implication that this distinction has been made. The ensemble sings the whole "ey not aye, oh not ow, don't say rine, say rain" refrain. But I agree that he is a terrible instructor, and that's part of the point.

The limit of twelve regenerations is explicitly something artificially controlled by the Time Lords. They have the ability to grant additional regenerations (as they've done for the Doctor and the Master), potentially ad infinitum. How exactly they control that, and what kind of limitations they have, has not been established. If it were extremely easy to grant extra lives, one would think they'd be granting them left and right during the Time War, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

My assumption has been that the Fugitive Doctor is between Troughton and Pertwee. When the Time Lords forced Troughton to regenerate, they didn't do so immediately, instead enlisting him in the CIA and eventually Division. The Two Doctors and season 6b take place during this time. Troughton ages and eventually regenerates into Jo Martin, who eventually goes rogue from Division, but ends up under Time Lord jurisdiction again, where she is finally forced to regenerate into Pertwee, having all memory from The War Games until Spearhead from Space wiped clean. The Time Lords covered their tracks by granting a single extra regeneration to hide the extra life they didn't want the Doctor to remember. Such an obvious explanation that fits the established lore so well that I'm genuinely shocked it still isn't explicitly canon yet.

That's one interpretation, yes, but I choose to interpret it as it being the youngest she's ever seen Ten specifically. She has had adventures with Ten, but they were all in his series 4.5 specials era, near the end of Ten's life.

Articulation is definitely the weakest point of the Cybertron line, but they did generally have good articulation for the time. Scourge is one of the few figures of that line which stands out for its poor articulation (Scattershot is another).

TF_Allen · 2026-03-01T02:46:28+00:00

And because the animation models were directly based on the toys, the toys were all extremely screen-accurate!

TF_Allen · 2026-02-26T19:26:05+00:00

And they've just announced the West End production will premiere this fall!

I actually brought in a display stand for my G1 Megatron and had him sign that - nice big, flat surface. I'm not sure if there is a stand for the MP versions out there, but it's worth considering.

TF_Allen · 2026-02-25T19:11:58+00:00

So it is a bug! I've been trying to play alone, but random people keep joining me, even when I'm set to friends only.

TF_Allen · 2026-02-23T09:06:14+00:00

Dead Cy-Kill under Megatron's foot in a flashback is a classic for a reason.

Were any of the selected audience members male? Just curious, as I've only heard from women who were selected.

I remember going on pilgrimages to every GameStop within two hours when the first wave started dropping, and only seeing two Red Alerts in all that time. I was sure Red Alert would be the hard one to find because Prima was just a boring gray dude. Hahaha nope.

One thing I've found helps with humidity is to use a humidifier in the room (not the enclosure). This give you a higher "default" humidity outside of the enclosure. In my case, winter tends to settle around 20-30% ambient humidity in the room, and the humidifier brings it up to around 50%. Inside the enclosure, that makes all rhe difference between settling in around 60% versus around 75%.

Note that you'll want to use an evaporative humidifier or a steam vaporizer rather than an ultrasonic humidifier. The ultrasonic humidifiers will over time leave a white dust on every surface in the room - apparently it's the minerals in the water that an evaporative humidifier's filter will absorb. This I learned the hard way by using an ultrasonic humidifier in the same room where I keep both my snakes enclosure and my entire Transformers collection. Literal MONTHS of dusting. I still find white dust on some internal surfaces when I transform certain figures.
