The long-lost BotCon 2011 script reading
Well well well, look what's finally surfaced! That's the professional voice-actor (and Vangelus) reading of The Stunti-Con Job, which FunPub has been promising for years now that they would eventually release. Thankfully someone has gotten sick of waiting, because the … Continue reading
Transformers Collectors' Club gets mad about knock off toys
Last week, whoever runs the Transformers Collectors' Club Twitter account posted this: It came out of nowhere and was apropos of nothing, so people began trying to figure out what they were talking about. And now, some more OAFEry:Rustin's Spoils … Continue reading

BotCon box set part 5 - Wildrider
Making things explode spectacularly is an art form to Wildrider. He is always brainstorming bigger, badder, louder, and more dangerous looking stunts, and he's got the processing power to coordinate them flawlessly. The Stunticons execute them without a scorchmark, but … Continue reading
BotCon box set part 4 - Drag Strip
Drag Strip is angry that the Autobots control Cybertron, that she takes orders from those windbags The Motormaster and Wildrider, and that she was protoformed in a wimpy looking Autobot shell; which fuels her already high lust for violence. New … Continue reading
BotCon box set part 3 - Breakdown
