So people in the Transformers fandom are occasionally all “hey why don’t they re-release that BotCon exclusive figure I like but can’t get at mass retail, they sold BotCon 2005 Fallback as Target Crosshairs I mean”.
So I took a picture of Fallback next to Crosshairs.
Yeah.
oops i bought some stuff at botcon
Let’s see. From Fun Publications:
And from anyone else:
now to put this stuff away before maggie sees all this on the couch
Twin trolls Argle and Bargle set out from the internet to torment the good people of the MSTF panel at Botcon 2012, with Shortpacked! author David Willis trapped in the middle.
Get ready for Opinions! at the first ever live Isle of Rangoon performance!
Jack it, jack it, jackety-jack
Spankin’ it, spankin’ it, smackety-smack.
It's BotCon time again next weekend! As usual, I’ll have a table in Artists Alley and also as usual, I’ve written up a schedule of when I should be at my table since unlike other conventions, I’m at BotCon to go see stuff as well:
Friday
3 to 5pm (entire dealer room open time)
Saturday
9 to 10am
Noon to 1pm
2 to 5pm
Sunday
11am to 3:30pm
That’s my tentative schedule, which will also be posted at my table. I say “tentative” since there’s probably some bits here and there I’ll be leaving to go see stuff that I can’t plan ahead for. I know at least one of those at-table times will involve me leaving so I can go get in line for Jason Jansen’s autograph, because holy hell Jason Jansen. Also, y'know, the Hasbro booth and its new goodies on display will often call to me. You know how it is. Thanks for you understanding!
I’ll have all four Shortpacked! books, Dumbing of Age book 1, all four of the “Obama”-style Beast Wars posters, and some other goodies. Also, I’ll have blank paper for sketches, provided tips are put in my jar!
Makes me happy no so many levels. A reference to a character form an obscure set, deco’d like a “lost” character from Armada, using a damn solid mold.
And BotCon ends as it always does: making toys fuck each other on a table in the hotel bar.
As mentioned at BotCon’s TCC Roundtable panel in between ill-advised imitations of Chinese factory workers, Scorponok’s shoulders are assembled wrong. The green-and-orange tiled pieces on either side of his purple torso are swapped left to right. It doesn’t get in the way of transformation, but it does keep his arms from being arranged correctly in robot mode. (See comparison shot in image one – Double Punch can lower his shoulders into proper position, but Scorponok can’t quite make it.)
It’s pretty easy to swap, so I did so. Just unscrew the two screws behind the panel on either side, remove the arms, swap the tiled pieces (and their corresponding purple backplates) left to right, put the arms back, and then rescrew. Second image shows proper assembly, with the orange translucent guns put on as well.

I drew this for the Monster Milk Funny Pages minicomic that came out at TCAF, but due to a clerical error it was left out. So here it is, making its debut on Tumblr. I hope you like it.
