Brawn is a very good bot and he seems to ALWAYS get super-good toys.

I do wish I had one with his IDW design, though. That was a good helmet.

Say hello to Slagheap of Kaon!

A failed "imprint" clone of Grimlock, this mutant Autobot began life as a low level smeltery worker. Quiet, obedient, easily replaceable - a perfect experimental subject to overwrite with a copy of Grimlock's Point One Percenter spark.

The fragmented, howling monster that resulted was anything but.

My new desk buddy brought some buddies of his own!

Soundwave, Ravage, and Laserbeak, three of the all-time favorites, and I gotta say, I'm pretty happy about all three of these versions (even if Ravage is a little chunky and tailless. Call this version a ro-bobcat.)

Skullgrin disrespected #WerewolfWednesday. Looks like Thunderhowl didn't take too kindly to that.

Learn from the late Skullgrin's mistake!

Books based on shows are sometimes hit or miss, but Uhura's Song by Janet Kagan has been ALL hits so far. No big battles, no evil scheming villain, just damn good first contact with the ticking clock of a plague to add tension.

Also, some of the most enjoyable Uhura and Chekov character moments I've ever run across.
