what kinda music do soundwave lik most?.

Dear Atonal Aficionado,

His own. He heard music in all the sounds his keen audio receptors sensed, and as a result composed music in unusual time signatures, such as 84/19. Typical tracks consist of sounds of tinny aircraft overhead and bassy rail-grinding of underground trainbots; the rhythmic clicking of his cassettes shuffling and rewinding in his chest compartment; the unique sound of dozens of transforming cogs converting simultaneously.

He also listens to Daft Punk.

I draw a pen doodle every day until I forget

Day 285: Lowliner (Transformers O.C.)

This is Lowliner! He’s a Micromaster that turns into a Peckett & Sons no. 1900 Steam engine. (one of the smallest to run on standard gauge rails.)

I’ve been chipping away at Lowliner for years! His name used to be Trackmaster, and he was just a blue pallet swap of Hearts of Steel Optimus prime. As time has gone on, however, he’s evolved into what you see here! I’m not sure how long he’ll stay that way, but I like him!

(As a bonus, here is my most recent full sketch of Lowliner)

One thing I don't really get:

MPM lacks the fit and finish of masterpiece. In many areas it's clunky and underdone, without the premium feel. Yet the fandom claims it's "Masterpiece".

MPG has the fit and finish, the class, the engineering, yet because the combined mode is a little bit lacking in the proportions department, and because it follows the realistic style of old MP, not the toon style of new MP, "it's not MP".

I've...never understood. I feel the general consensus is all backwards.

Dear vector prime,

Are the any other trains besides astrotrain and team bullet train? Aside from the hearts of steel verse, I can’t think of any other ones. Did something happen to them?

Dear Terrific Trainspotter,

There are many Transformers who transform into different locomotives—including several other Autobot combiner teams: the Trainbots, the Train Team, and the Liner Team. Other notable Cybertronians with rail vehicle forms include Star Dasher, Steamhammer, Cowcatcher, Loco, Omega Supreme, Vain Train, Vertebreak, Hawkfighter, Railgun, and some iterations of Sentinel Prime and Galaxy Shuttle.

Damn...can't believe I have to wait for February for Kaen. This wait is KILLING me.

Dunno what's worse; the anticipation for this, or for the Doctor Who Anniversary.

what are your thoughts on the TF Headmasters Aerialbots?

headmasters like the show? ive been pretty lazy about watching it (i think the last episode i watched was the one where fort max reveals his bot mode), but i dont remember the aerialbots doing much interesting in it. from what i remember it kinda felt like the combiner teams were just there to pad out the ranks most of the time
