The Many, MANY Intros Of Transformers: The Netflix Shows

Well it was only a matter of time before there was a new installment in this one. Transformers continue to be made and they continue to make shows based on them. Since my last article in 2020 further Transformers shows have been made and I haven’t discussed their intros…because I haven’t seen them.

After escaping the pit of the action show abandoning Cartoon Network, Transformers moved to Netflix rather than resume with Discover Family. Their new show is going to be on Nickelodeon, but that’s the kids show. I don’t know where the next adult collector targeting show is going to be. So I’m really not able to tell if these shows are any good or how well the intro shows them off because I don’t have Netflix. It requires money and I don’t have any.

Still, I need to get something done quick today and this fits the bill. The “War For Cybertron Trilogy” (not to be confused with the video game because Hasbro doesn’t just recycle names of their figures anymore) is based on the adult toyline, while BotBots is based on a line of handheld transforming figures that live in a mall. Again, I haven’t watched either of them but will these intros make me sorry I don’t?

Chapter By Chapter> TekWar chapter 5

Chapter By Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at a time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

In the previous chapter we got Jake out of the cryogenic prison. While we learn a bit about Jake’s history and personality so much of the focus thus far has been on worldbuilding and how in the future we are in this story. That and some pacing issues I’m starting to notice concerns me. For now I’m just doing the one chapter thing but at some point I can see doing multiple chapters just to move the story forward so hopefully this won’t be an issue for long. I’m very pro-worldbuilding but not at the expense of the actual narrative I’m here to read.

Usually it’s near the end of the book that I run out of topics but so far this book has given me so little I don’t even have a starter to keep these intros at a decent length for the homepage. So let’s get into chapter 5 and see what happens when Jake gets home.

BW’s Daily Article Link> A Girl Learns To Play Boys Games

Demographics are bull#@#$%. Just because a game or other type of…anything…was created with one group in mind doesn’t mean that someone outside that age, gender, or other made up statistic group can’t enjoy it as well without it being re-engineered with that other group in mind and it’s not creepy if it happens. (I’m looking at those of you who look down on college boys enjoying My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, but feel free to call them out when they try to adultify it. I do.) Jessica Howard, writing for Gamespot, discusses how she found herself enjoying Mass Effect, and how it led her to play other games not made for girls and still loving them.

Jake & Leon #537> Artist Emergency

If you’re any kind of artist and haven’t had this happen…it will.

This happened to me and kept me from making Captain PSA by Friday. It should come out this week. I hope. More updates in a moment.

First I have to tell you what’s going on at The Clutter Reports this week. The back-up drive reorganizing continues and as it turns out this is has been a bit of self-education when it comes to organizing not only computer files but physical clutter as well. That’s fitting since I started using tricks organizing paperwork and comics to do this one. It all comes full circle.

So what else is coming this week? The latest chapter of TekWar on this week’s Chapter By Chapter for one. For Robotech Monday in the “Yesterday’s” Comic” reviews we get to I believe the last series of the Academy Comics run I have to review unless there’s an issue or two in the remainder group of attempts at post-war Earth. Also, and feel free to yell at me if I don’t do this and there are no extra circumstances preventing me, I have a plan that I hope would make the Snyder fans happy as well as DC fans…depending of course on what said fans of both groups are really asking for. I’ll explain then. As far as what the other feature articles will be, we’ll find out together.

Have a good week, everyone!
