yanno what? Diaclone gets most of the credit when talking about the origins of Transformers as a toyline, and we get Diaclone homages via Transformer repaints all the damn time. but Microman/Microchange never gets any attention. and i intend to fix it with digibashes.

starting from the top we've got Radi-Cassette Robo: who eventually became Blaster (and i gave him a bunch of Blaster's tapes because how the hell else are we gonna get them)

The Micro Rocket Base: from the LED Powers line which was originally a redeco of g1 Micromaster Countdown's Rocket Base

Acro-Trooper Chain Spider: from the Magne Powers line

Bulsonic: an exosuit jet thingy from the original Microman line Hyper Speeder and Tornado Bison: again, from LED Powers, the originals used the G2 Laser Cycle molds. Micro Trailer: from LED Powers, the original was made from Action Master Optimus Prime's Armored Convoy.

digibash drop: Unreleased G2 Flipchangers The 4 Flipchanger molds that would eventually go on to be used in Machine Wars, RID2001, Robot Masters, and Universe 2003 were originally designed for use in Generation 2. under these names and decoes. so i've gone to the trouble of digibashing "Modern" versions of them. (Thundercracker's Targetmasters are based on Cobra Techno Viper (purple) and Frag Viper (orange) from GIJoe)

I see one cheat code here.

Use the blue one. Then its memory powers let you perfectly memorize all languages. Making orange redundant.

So...blue, purple, yellow.

I know it's no longer a novel observation how the entire internet is enshittified now but it's still shocking that so many of the things we depend on had such a sudden and marked decline in quality.

Google results are mostly ads. Facebook is 90% ads, 10% domestic terrorists. Twitter is... well, not Twitter and it's only good for Nazis to yell at each other in the hopes they make .0004 cents per tweet. Instagram is ads. TikTok is misinformation central. YouTube serves forty-seven ads per second of videos watched.

Every news article is behind a paywall, and some of them are just AI-text garbled from someone else's much better article, also behind a paywall.

AI art has made it impossible to find images you want. It's also exploded the use and potential use of misinformation. Your data is now being fed to generative AIs to make cheap slop that only makes information harder to find and source.

Everyone wants you using their app instead of a web browser so that you aren't allowed to block the 3,487 ads per page that have to load.

Amazon is full of fake or low-quality dupes of the things you actually want to buy. Netflix and other streaming services are raising prices, cutting available shows, and erasing the existence of shows in order to avoid paying writers. Art hosting sites such as DeviantArt allow your work to be scraped for NFTs and generative AI without your consent or any form of compensation. Spotify has demonetized over 80% of their tracks and pays the rest astoudingly low, worse than the other streaming services which also underpay.

Everything is a subscription service which means not only are you paying for the same product in perpetuity but you never technically own any tool you use and your right to use it can be revoked at any time. Everything has to be a "smart" product so when the business inevitably folds and/or the servers shut down, your product no longer works. Hope it's not something you need!

Every company no longer accepts phone calls but routes you through a series of automated messages until finally dumping you off to an overworked and underpaid person who has no power to help you. Speaking of phones, you can't use them for calls. There are so many robocallers and scams that no one in their right mind picks up the phone anymore. Texts are going the same way. No one wants to dig through 100 scam messages to find the one from the person they actually want to talk to.

It's all just the inevitable end result of capitalism. It doesn't have to be this way. But there needs to be regulation, and fast, or the "Dead Internet Theory" will no longer be a fringe theory.

Thought process crosses my mind. Couldn't Wolverine in theory, out populate Humanity?

Like, your average bloke has about 50ish years of viable time to father children. But inevitably dies.

Wolverine however, is functionally immortal and most of his kids and clones have his healing factor as well.

So he just keeps chugging along for centuries at a time knocking up redheads and yakuza princesses.

And his kids in turn do the same.

Until eventually the human genome is either outright replaced by surly Canadians, or at least thoroughly contaminated

Consider. The effect Genghis Khan had on the genome of anyone who traces their lineage back to anywhere between Mongolia through lower greece.

And he wasn't even immortal. He just fucked. A. Lot.

remember last week when i said "im deffo getting more Archecore"? i wasnt whistling dixie. i gots more Archecore.

this funky dune crawler is the "Sand Rover Lizard Cannon Carriage" and a squad of "Sand Rover Desert Rangers" to crew it.

this thing Modular as hell. if you dont like the jail cell in the middle? take it off. also, the jail cell is made of the same steel girder pieces as the barricade star things from the other set i got.

if you want to harpoon guns up front? put em there and stick the lewis guns in the back instead.

the tail carries little barrels. and there's a little catch mechanism to drop them. one bit of warning i do have, assembly is required when you get it. and the clips that fix the legs to the body are TIGHT. i'd actually recommend sliding the clips off the mushroom pegs (hella easy) so you can get a better grip when attaching to the body.

Archecore is a damn fun independent toyline y'all i was already pretty well sold on their transforming robots. but lately i decided to look more towards the "army guy" aspect of their line. and they are fucking awesome.

little soldier dudes are super posable. about on par with what you normally get from a 6 inch action figure (except these guys are super smol)

lots of weaponry and accessories. most of which is modular. via pretty basic pegs and ports. and this mobile bunker....thing has working treads and posable arms. and is called the "Battle Oven" i love this stupid ass Fern Gully Villain looking thing.

im deffo getting more.
