smol Aileron's done! At least two other customizers have done her similarly using T30 Legends Bumblebee, CW Powerglide, and Windblade parts, we used green stuff to make her taller, give her leg vents, make her thighs thick and curvy, broaden her waist, make her helm shape, and stick arms and wings on/together. Wish we had a 3d printer to design & print, but we really love how she turned it out with what we had! don't have lunar lander yet, still did the smooch from Unicron #6 which you can find as you scroll down.  Hope she gets a toy in legacy or 40th! Here’s the links to the other two customs of her we’ve seen that inspired us: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/custom-aileron-idw.1131323/ https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/custom-transformers-aileron-idw-comics.1073747/

ID 1 of 5: An IDW1 Arcee (from Legacy Elita) and Aileron custom pair standing on a trans flag with a scifi polityscape backdrop with arms around each other. Aileron is facing the camera, while Arcee standssidewards looking u at the sky. Both are smiling in bright light. End ID.

The smooch! loved that they got time to make out intentionally uwu

ID 2 of 5: The small Aileron custom held up in in IDW1 Arcee's arms, embracing her, one leg bent up behind her, heads close sharing a kiss on a moon pillow backdrop with a moonscape photo behind, the Earth in the distance, loosely resembling their on the lips kiss in Unicron #6. End ID.

The Arcee/Aileron/Greenlight families with Gauge and Sideswipe II ... missing Trypticon of course and didn’t include Sideswipe, Sterling, Anode, and Lug because we wanted to focus on just these bots to show the different versions we have besides the IDW1 ?tank? Greenlight custom we have. They’re so cute... it’s nuts to us that we’re the only person/system in the world who has all these that we know of and we think more people should have them. We are tempted to sell some new Arcees and Ailerons and tiny Greenlights at a con, getting another Gauge would be expensive because she’s made from Sonic Blue Bumble but hey if someone gives us one (also we want to figure out how to give her an excavator arm). Aileron from Topspin was much easier to do since we didn’t use green stuff to mold her, and she has the benefit of scaling with masterpiece sized Arcees whether official or unlicensed! And is broader in the torso. Her shape is one that has made us consider doing an IDW Arcee from the 2012-2014 era shape...

ID 3 of 5: In this photo with the flag and polity backdrop, Aileron instead has her fists at the ready alongside IDW1 Arcee with her blades, and in front of them is Sideswipe II (IF Heavy Metal) also with arms raised for battle. To their left is an IDW2 Arcee custom (from WFC Nightbird) with swords alongside Gauge (from Sonic Blue Bumble), Siege Greenlight with Dazzlestrike in gun mode, ER Arcee with an arm around Greenlight and pistol in hand, with a tiny Q-Transformers Arcee in front alongside a Greenlight custom (from WFC Trip-Up) to the roght of the nine is an Aileron customized frommTR Topspin with blasters held up high, with MMC Ocular Max Azalea behind her with pistols on her thighs and two handed broad pink sword over her shoulder, an arm around the larger Aileron.

Some EXRID gals... we really loved EXRID so much it made us feel so good, affirmed and broadened a lot of our feelings and thoughts not just on gender but on international affairs, philosophy, combat, orientation, friendship, and love, and even helped us better understand our relationship with ourselves and one of our out-of-body partners (we kind of have the Arcee and Aileron height and shape difference lmao and there are other ways our lives parallel theirs including that of my system’s oldest headmate, the robot alterhuman who’s been around the whole time) and terms of e.g. our IDW1 Arcee headmate/our Arcee gestalt it was a roller coaster of feelings that helped them to love themselves more. (If you’re wondering why we came out about having transformer fictive headmates it’s very simple: they’re contextualized from fiction we deeply enjoy and think about and write, we share a lot of life together cofronting in companionship, our mental health got better by embracing it, and because we’re tired of hiding and want more than just relying on semi-private spaces to be ourselves/it’s 2023 we no longer give enough shits to be held back by our fear, and @windblade-prime​ being out inspired us (go read her thoughts on transformers she’s very insightful). :3

ID 4 of 5: On the same background is the Aileron custom with her hands on her hips, standing alongside CW Pyra Magna, an IDW1 Arcee custom (from Legacy Elita) and TR Windblade, all in combat stances holding swords. Pyra’s sword is a big blue blade with a guarded hilt that came with the CW Victorion set and resembles the sword she uses in IDW1, Arcee’s are her yellow thermal energy blades guarded hilt sabers (3D printed, found on Shapeways), and Windblade’s is her purple-pink blade Stormfall from her T30 toy. End ID.

Finally, a close-up on Aileron by herself. When we started with Anode and Lug a year ago as our first customs, they were hard and we had to keep revisiting them, but we love them so much, and we’ve learned a lot since then put us in a position to finally do Aileron, which we had been too scared to do/didn’t know how with the space and tools that we have until we discovered green stuff a while ago. We spent far more time molding her green stuff paste on than painting her hehe XD ID 5 of 5: the small Aileron custom standing facing the camera by herself. She has rocket engine shoulders with wings, thick forearms, curvy thighs, and very tall feet (we did that so she would be at her canonical comic height relative to Arcee), and her big wings are bent back behind her busty rounded torso with biolights resembling headlights along the sloping chest that composes most of the torso. She is mostly orange, white, and a deep gray that looks black, and has a light pink face with yellow optics inside an intricate wide helm with a wide crest running across the top of her head to just above her nose.

My recent favorite bots, right out of the 1986 Transformers: the Movie! These are all from third parties: Arcee by Mastermind Creations (aka Azalea), Hot Rod by Fans Toys (Hoodlum), and Optimus Prime by Transform Element (OP Leader).

Had a lot of fun making this set up! I recently found a red lamp cover I could put over my photo lamps. Quit pleased overall how this shoot came out...

Status Update regarding TFcon Orlando Exclusives

A message from TFcon Orlando 2020 sponsor Ages Three and Up regarding TFcon Orlando Exclusives

We hope everyone has been taking care of themselves and staying safe during an unprecedented time we are having.

TFcon Orlando was something we were all really looking forward to; a chance to reconnect with our fans and meet all of our new fans that have never been to a TFcon. However, more than that, we prefer that all of our fans stay safe. We feel that TFcon made the hard but right decision to keep this a priority and to do their part by cancelling the show to slow the potential of COVID-19.

In addition to the many guest appearances, we were particularly excited to show off what MMC and Ocular Max has planned, and offer the chance to purchase the exclusives we had arranged for the fans. We know that was something that a lot of you were excited about too.

For everyone who felt the disappointment, we still would love to be able to bring you the toys we had planned on offering at the show!

Through special arrangements we have made with Ocular Max, we’re happy to announce that we will still be able to sell our exclusive TFcon items PS-04P Azalea Protoform and RMX-14 Doccat online for the duration of what would have been TFcon. What this means is, from Friday Evening through Sunday, March 20-22, TFcon exclusives will be available for purchase on our sites, until they sell out. Shipments will follow shop policies of those who will be assisting us.

We know it’s limited, but hope that this will bring you a piece of TFcon and provide a little plastic happiness for those who were looking forward to it. Take care, stay safe, look out for each other, and we hope to see you guys next year. Peace and love.

Friendly reminder to follow official recommended procedures: wash your hands, cut out any non-essential travel and events, and stop trying to buy out every single roll of toilet paper out there!! Let’s collectively work together and we will get through this!

Please stay tuned for links to the product page which will be available Friday, March 20 starting at 6pm EST.

Spin doctor

It is the year 1988... ...On realising that the US embassy in Moscow was full of listening devices, the Americans wisely decide the building itself is to blame and tear it down... ...The Phantom of the Opera opens. Theatre dies. ...and in the Transformers, mom jeans are the new in-thing among fashion-conscious Decepticons...

The thing is, quite by chance, Spinister has had rather a decent run in the comics. In his Marvel days he was an elite fighter with the Mayhem Attack Squad, and in IDW he was an absolute idiot who just so happened to be a skilled surgeon. In both incarnations he took part in multiple adventures and generally made rather a decent name for himself. Compared to others of his generation he comes off pretty well, though you can't help but wonder if his contemporaries ever got at all jealous of his status. Skullcruncher never really made much of an impact, for example.

In the Marvel comic he was a general-purpose hardass, having to put up with Needlenose's whining and incompetence with a grimace and a growl, and then teaming up with Thunderwing in an increasingly factional and divided Decepticon army. It's a bit odd that James Roberts would decide to so utterly diverge from this in More Than Meets The Eye and make him a surgeon, but it's hardly unwelcome. The Scavengers were always a treat when they showed up, and it would be far more out-of-place if Spinister kept to his toy bio, all mysterious and brooding, while everyone around him was an absolute goof. Nope, Spnister got to goof as well. A good goof.

All the more surprising when you recall that his G1 toy was a bit crap all told. Being a double targetmaster sounds great - twice as good as a regular targetmaster, right? Except the figure is smaller and less detailed, and the nebulon partners are just blocks with a couple of guys chiselled into the underside and a transformation that consists of flipping a single piece over. Spin forward (ha) a few decades though, and the Spinny Boi has had rather an impressive upgrade.

In robot mode there's little to fault, so long as you get over that colour scheme that looks like he's wearing a pink jumper with a pair of blue jeans. It's remarkable only insofar as it's unusual in transformer robot design, which tends to prefer using one colour as armour, another as the body underneath. Nah, Spinister is keeping it casual, ready for a day out at the zoo with the kids. You get two cockpits in this mode, which is accurate to his G1 boxart, if nothing else. Only one can become the actual cockpit in alt mode of course, and this is where the praise starts to go a little flat.

Transforming Spinister is a bit of a nightmare. It seems to have been designed for every part to be moving at the same time, which would look pretty rad when animated, but is a bugger to do with regular human fingers and thumbs. While not nearly as fiddly as Generations Straxus or as impossible as MMC's Azalea mould, it's still a faff to try and get the legs in exactly the right position to lock in properly. And then they still don't, if the joints aren't lined up precisely to the nearest .1 of a degree.

And the helicopter mode is... well it's a beast of a thing, all bulk and firepower, though if you do try and add WFC Battlemasters to it they can only fit underneath in a rather ungainly fashion. The second cockpit sneaks away underneath and looks almost like a cargo hatch or a gunnery position, something with a bit of imagination at least. And if it weren't for the fact that this attack chopper is bright pink it might be considered scary. Okay, perhaps it still is. Pleasingly the rotors spin well, and tuck up quite effectively in robot mode, which is usually a bit of a sticking problem with copterformers, who frequently have to detach their blades and use them as a dumb spinny weapon. But no dumb spinny weapons for our dumb Spinny lad. He has guns. Or people who turn into guns.

Last thing on that point though - why in the world is it so hard to get your hands on a Singe and Shrute combo? The latter is locked away in the Amazon exclusive Skywarp pack which is no longer available, and the former is supposedly mass retail, but good luck finding any. I wouldn't mind so much, as Shrute can be cobbled together from other battlemasters, and Singe is kind of boring to look at anyway, but Singe's wave mate? Only bloody Rung, isn't it? Sigh.

As a trans sword sapphic/lesbian/enbian who deeply loves thighs both aesthetically, martially, & has terminal robot brain it was inevitable that we'd do tasteful thigh posting w/ sword sapphic theming. Hard to get a full view of everybody but big bots being big makes up for it XD

ID In front of a windowsill with a trans flag across the sill and a scifi polityscape backdrop are a number of transformer toys holding swords, guns, each other, or posing or dancing. Some of the ones at the front have feet apart stances that accentuate their thighs (and the bots have thighs of all sorts of shapes from boxy to round to thin to curvy and so forth). From left to right: Minerva (Fans Hobby Athena), SG Strongram custom, Shutter custom, PotP Elita w/sword, Rust Dust, TR Windblade holding her sword in one hand and T30 Chromia with her halberd in the other, prereformat Arcee custom, Clobber, Pyra Magna, Anode custom patting custom Lug's head who is touching the bottom of her lower thigh, MMC Azalea, S86 Rodimus kneeling, both with visors and grasping pistols on thighs and ankles respectively, TR Overlord handstanding, Nova Storm, T30 Cosmos, Aileron custom, IDW1 Arcee custom, Greenlight, Ultra Slipstream, MP Road Rage holding her cannon up, and a fat Nautica custom dancing. End ID.

Look we like thighs. We could go on about why but we think somehow back stacks (Arcee’s in particular but certainly not only hers) turned us on to thighs instead of the other way around. But also Aileron and Greenlight, shipping art of chromeblade and anolug and nautilotty and rodimus with whomever are responsible prior/in tandem to the realization back stacks are thighs. We had a queer reawakening from diving into the transformers fandom

Mastermind Creations Azalea (Arcee), one of my recent favorite figures, out of the 1986 Transformers: the Movie. I think she’s almost as nice a sculpt as Fans Toys Rouge, but significantly more enjoyable to transform. The only glaring flaw is that only her fists—and not the open hands nor hands that can hold her guns—will work with transformation, and it’s a drag to have to switch them out. Hence, no guns for Arcee here… The alt mode sculpt is again almost as good Fans Toys Rouge, and arguably fits together more tightly. Plus, she scales pretty well with these dianaughts as riders!
