Let’s call this part 1 of… 3?

You misspelled the term "headcanon" in your Tumblr blog name. Now, there is a character named Headcannon (representing the Bonaparte Tulcas figure from the Dorvack toyline that didnt make it into the Transformers toyline, unlike Roadbuster and Whirl), but I don't think you made this blog to talk exclusively about him.

I

WHAT?!

YOU'RE BEEN MEANING TO TELL ME THAT FOR THE ALMOST 8-9 YEARS THIS BLOG HAS BEEN AROUND I HAD THIS MISPELLED?!

But I am always down for fun facts so please: Tell me more about this Headcannon character

The Cymond Cluster

This is a list of the many universal streams within the Cymond universal cluster (its name a reference to the Diaclone franchise that preceded Transformers, whose name comes from a merger of the words "diamond" and "cyclone"), one of the many clusters of different universes that make up the Transformers multiverse as documented by the TransTechs. The Cymond cluster mainly consists of worlds from other franchises that either precede the franchise itself, or some miscellaneous TakaraTomy franchises that are somewhat related to the franchise.

Cymond MMYY.DD - Example

Recent Pickups

I’m really excited to own these rare/vintage kits! I absolutely adore old-style box art, it’s just got so much heart and soul!

Top Left is the Buffire and Bowg from Powered Armor Dorvack.

Top Right is the StrikeDog from Armored Trooper VOTOMS.

Bottom Left is the Legioss in the Armo-Fighter mode from Genesis Climber Mospeada.

Bottom Right is the VF-1S Armored Valkyrie from Super Dimension Fortress Macross.

I’ll hopefully be able to build these within the next few months, I have a project related to Macross currently in the works.

If anyone would like me to go more in-depth about older kits, I would be more than happy to get into what they’re like.

Finished Media, October 2022

I've gotten a lot out of posting about whatever I've read/watched/played most recently, so I'm going to try doing it as a month to month thing on here. Here's what I was doing this past month!

Tiger and Bunny 2: The rare long-awaited sequel that didn't let down ten years worth of expectations. Getting stuck in Netflix jail really killed the hype, but what can you do? I think I liked the first cour better than the second, not that the second was bad, but it felt more like a movie plot stretched out into a season. Sure hope that the third season (if that's feasible, no idea what the numbers look like on this one) doesn't take as long to drop.

Scooby Doo on Zombie Island, and the Witch's Ghost, and the Alien Invaders: apparently these were direct to video so I refer to them as OVAs, which is only reinforced by the solidly Japanese staff in the credits. All good fun. Alien Invaders was my favorite story, but Witch's Ghost had Tim Curry knocking it out of the park.

Powered Armor Dorvack: a 1984 robot cartoon that I never, ever thought I'd be able to watch with English subtitles. Two of the main mecha from the series got turned into Transformers (Whirl and Roadbuster), and that was all I knew about this going in. Lots of strong character episodes and a very unique last third. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone as their very first robot anime or anything, but if you're full up on the classics it's worth a look.

Fuuto PI: Fun enough on its own, but mostly I just want to rewatch Double now. If I hadn't sworn off the roleplay toys I would absolutely buy the Double Driver again.

Shawshank Redemption: putting this in the middle of the list really makes it stand out. I got married at the cabin shown in the opening scenes of the film where the guy's wife gets murdered, that's the main reason I wanted to see this. Sure wish America still consistently made movies like this.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night: The wonky voice acting is honestly extremely charming. Gameplay is still fun and nuanced several console generations later. Definitely want to play more from the series, but I think I'll save it for next spooky season.

One Piece Film Red: This was just a Macross movie. This is not a joke or an exaggeration. So I highly recommend it.

Dragon Ball (entire original manga): Rereading this all the way through as an adult was really eye-opening. Sure, you can really tell the points at which the editors told Toriyama "what the FUCK are you doing, buddy?" But it's still a great time, I got more than a little emotional at the climax of the final fight, even. I could probably write an essay about how Goku and Vegeta are the most mischaracterized dudes in the whole of western fandom, but not today.

That's everything! Here's what might be next:

Playing: Bayonetta 3

Watching: Witch from Mercury, Pop Team Epic, Do It Yourself!, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Reading: Happy Kanako's Killer Life. I might also (god help me) try and catch up on One Piece.

Importado del animé Dorvack, Whirl se hace un espacio en la línea de 1985. Fabricado por Bandai, cuenta con una construcción simple, pero exquisitos detalles como el asiento del piloto que se acomoda al modo helicóptero y mecha.
