So yeah, thanks to @BillyStripes and the whole TFN Team for working SO HARD all year round to make the event the success everyone agrees it is. Communal, inclusive, creative, celebratory and, in its own unique way, quietly life affirming
@AltraViolet00 Even though they almost never interact in canon (even in IDW1), I want to say Starscream and Prowl. They're opposites in identical positions and they each represent everything the other hates.
TFcon has always been a convention where all Transformers fans can come together regardless of any differences.
If there are members of the LBGTQ+ community that bought tickets and feel unsafe attending TFcon Orlando this fall please email [email protected] to request a refund.
Pretty unconvincing to point the finger at writers and say "their strike is why you won't enjoy TV!" when the distributors they're striking against cancel every show after two seasons and nuke entire series for a CEO's tax break -R
@RhieraLouise Ugh, sorry you're having to deal with comment drama! I'm not sure if I have advice, just sympathy. 🩷 Maybe tell them to knock it off and then freeze the thread? That might deter more debate.
The incredible variety of characters, settings, and tones, and the fact that no matter how obscure one of those is, there are people who adore it. The infectious "yes-and" creativity of the fandom! And ABSOLUTELY the queernormative world of the comics.
How funny I have a book coming out in March with a beautiful cover that shares exactly why we have been resisting the status quo of empire and settler colonialism on this land and will continue to do so as Indigenous and other oppressed peoples

Say your name is Joe.
You believe your name is Joe because that’s your name.
I insist your name is Jean because I believe I have the right to name you because of who I understand myself to be, and you do not have the right to name yourself because of who I understand you to be.
@AltraViolet00 Blackarachnia is a scientist in both BW and TFA, and she might be my fave - though Shockwave is a close second.
There's also Thunderwing and Bludgeon in IDW, Acid Storm... IIRC Mixmaster's a chemist... seems like the Bots have more scientists who are ONLY scientists, though.
And so, the Dark Lord gave out 4 such mambos...
One for Monica, In his life.
One for Erica, by his side.
One for Rita, all he needs.
One for Tina, all he sees.
But the fifth Mambo... the Dark Lord LouBega kept for himself. One Mambo to Rule Them All.
