Who was the first Transformer to appear in animation? As Transformers were cobbled together from several different toy lines that were animated at different points, this question is challenging to answer. But one outside the box possible candidate is none other than Inferno, the Autobot who turned into a firetruck.

Just before the debut of the Transformers animated show in 1984, in South Korea, Inferno was used as the physical inspiration (ripped off may be a better term) for a Korean animated series known as "Phoenix King" (불사조 로보트 피닉스킹) where a robot that turns into a fire truck has to defeat alien invaders. At the time, it was very unusual for any entertainment to be made in South Korea, so they often borrowed from Japanese sources. There is a thriving trade of Korean knockoffs of Japanese merchandise, as trade between the two nations is restricted to encourage the growth of homegrown South Korean industries. The best example of this would be how the Sega Genesis was known in South Korea as the "Super Aladdin Boy." Sharp eyes can probably spot other robot designs used in other Japanimation series: some of the evil robots have an uncanny resemblance to Mazinger Z.

I used to write you letters whenever I dreamt of you — but I could never send them to you, as you may be married with a family. Because those letters then piled up in my heart, it always feels like the first time when I write a new one. Time glided past while I hesitated... I was a coward. I ran away from you and still do.

В Корее начались осенние дожди и духота немного спала.

Я люблю такую погоду, но предпочитаю находиться где-нибудь в укрытом месте, и просто наблюдать за ней.

Из-за влажности мои пористые волосы просто сходят с ума. Укладка не держится. Прямые волосы вьются, волнистые просто выходят из чата. Я уже не знаю, что с ними делать 🥲 просто собираю крабиком и все.

И еще я решила раз уж идет дождь, надену-ка я свои dr. Martens. Я их так сильно хотела и она такие красивые.. Но у меня от них просто дичайшие мозоли 🥲

В общем, минус ноги ㅋㅋㅋ

Через час будет онлайн занятие по корейскому в зуме, а после мы с Сашей поедем в Сеул на концерт Оливии Родриго 🥳🥳🥳
