![\"Optimus](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/tfdirect.jpg\")
<\/p>\nThe other day, a store called \"TF Direct\" posted an image that got them a lot of attention. But probably not the kind they were hoping for:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
(It was taken off Facebook, but they forgot about their Bluesky page.)<\/p>\n
There are only two options here: first, that it's an innocent mistake, that someone really was posing Optimus Prime in a silly manner, and failed to notice that it looked like a swastika before they shared it. In which case, they're merely stupid.<\/p>\n
Alternately, they knew exactly what it looked like and posted it regardless, whether to be \"edgy\" or to go full mask-off and signal their allegiances to right-wing politics. In which case, screw 'em, never give them a goddamn dime.<\/p>\n
This isn't even a case of getting outed accidentally like the bigots of Kapow Toys<\/a>, this is something they actively chose<\/b> to show everyone. They looked at that photo and either 1) saw nothing wrong with it, or 2) saw something right<\/b> with it, and neither choice is great.<\/p>\n If you go to their site, the first thing you're met with is an A.i.-generated banner, the surest sign of being pathetic losers<\/a>. So even if they weren't sharing stuff like this, they wouldn't be worth your money. There are plenty of Transformers sellers out there who aren't utter embarrassments.<\/p>\n
