@NeonMicron Other best ones.

@walruslaw We can finally see the manga previously skipped in Generations 2023! Is this a stealth ad for an upcoming update of magazines section of the website? ;)

[Arvegtor @arvegtor]

@krbrickbot At least Brock makes his own "donuts" instead of finding them in garbage.

[Arvegtor @arvegtor]

It appears there is an unknown mini-comic in TV-Kun 2015-03. Thanks to @walruslaw's scans we know it's not something present in every issue, but this definitely requires extra research. Pictures from Yahoo auctions.

@saimofusaimo285 I also have some creative projects; have done freelance writing for Hasbro Russia in the past and worked as a consultant for the web series "Transformers: Portal". It would be great if you can help with any research or point me in the direction of more transforming robots seres.

[Arvegtor @arvegtor]

@saimofusaimo285 Hello, nice to meet you. I'm a fan of Transformers who likes transforming robots in general, the owner of the (currently offline) Russian Transformers wiki, collect legends scale toys, run research and preservation projects, the biggest of which is the Transformers Library.

@flywheels Knew the series, but not the toyline. S1 came out in 2016 and was famous for TFP opening rip-off. This appears to be S3. I've seen it getting names like "Machine Transformation of the Light Alliance" or "Mechasia" on Youtube, the original names are "机变英盟" and "机变苍穹：觉醒"

[Arvegtor @arvegtor]

I've suddenly discovered a whole multitude of TF books in Thailand. It seems they have a whole unique "Playskool Baby" franchise.

Each book 16 pages long, published by Bongkoch.

Most of other pack-in gifts are just from UK Signature publishing magazines, but not this train.

[Arvegtor @arvegtor]

@walruslaw Thank you. And wow, that doesn't look good for the magazine's future, such a low amount of content only once every 3 months.

[Arvegtor @arvegtor]

@walruslaw Ok, so new location on the website, not hosting them completely elsewhere, got it.

Speaking of GoGo manga, do you know anything about the latest 2 issues of TV Magazine? It seems both only have 1 page of puzzles, but I haven't yet been able to confirm it for the Winter special.

[Arvegtor @arvegtor]

@wackooon It's uploaded to one of the studio's official Youtube channels. This is definitely one of the best among their modern era works (and they have surprisingly many good modern cartoons, check the same channel).

@yityanin 90s were a special time for sure when it comes to channels. I remember how here in Chelyabinsk we got from 5-ish to around 10 in just a couple of years. And then in the 2000s that amount grew to 17.

[Arvegtor @arvegtor]

@yityanin Yeah, that's understandable. I just mentioned that because I don't know if the same cartoons had a TV release back in the 90s. At least He-Man probably did, with how many versions of its translation are available. Completely no idea about She-Ra or Thundercats.

[Arvegtor @arvegtor]

@yityanin Dino Riders and Gobots (likely also Cops and MiMP) were on ORT, most of others I know about aired years later, which is probably why you don't know. I saw Street Sharks on STS, Visionaries on Mir, Mask was on Ren-TV, likely same with Wheeled Warriors. 2x2 also aired some in 2010s

[Arvegtor @arvegtor]

@yityanin I wouldn't say "a few", at least half of the list aired here, and it's only what I know about.

[Arvegtor @arvegtor]

@ekijo_no_othumu This game barely has any coverage online, and everything that exists is from its early days, and the game itself doesn't even launch unless downloaded from Google Play. Did it ever have events? Were new characters added? How many levels are there?

[Arvegtor @arvegtor]

@tfaltmodes Even having a physical book doesn't help. And to make things worse, these images with microscopic text are among very few of those not shared online in full size.
