Red, White & Blue Herring

The Story of ULTRA MAGNUS TRANSFORMERS — the almost-leader, the loyal soldier, and the guy who maybe should’ve been more.

In the 1986 movie, Hasbro made Rodimus Prime the chosen one, but what if they got it wrong? From toy origins as a "powered convoy", to his moments in the cartoon and comics where he shined, stumbled and just couldnt seem to beat Galvatron, I'm digging into why Ultra Magnus always seems to be second best — and whether he deserved better. Equal parts nostalgia, speculation, toy history, and a little bit of “he just couldn’t deal with that right now.”

Killing You With Science

The Story about Perceptor, the Transformers Scientist Who Became the Autobots’ Deadliest Shot.

From microscope to marksman, The Transformers Perceptor has had one of the most unexpected journeys in the franchise. Once known as the mild-mannered G1 scientist who’d rather study than scrap, Perceptor has saved the day in cartoons, comics, and even the Japanese Victory series — before the IDW comics turned him into something...deadlier. I'll be digging into his evolution across media, his rare toys (including the black repaint “Magnificus”), and why this brainy bot might just be one of the most underrated Autobots ever.....oh and Circuit Breaker. Need I say more?

Talking Trash

The story of Transformers Wreck-Gar and the Junkions is one of trash, television, and maybe a little too much weirdness for some fans to handle.

In the 1986 Transformers: The Movie, we meet the Junkions and their one of a kinf leader, Wreck-Gar — a planet of TV-obsessed, motorcycle-riding bots who speak entirely in commercials and pop culture references. But were these bizarre scavengers just comic relief thrown into the movie, or were they secretly Hasbro’s most clever commentary on how easily media can shape and brainwash a society? In this video, I'm diving deep into Wreck-Gar’s origins, his role in the movie and beyond, and whether the Junkions were garbage… or genius.

Feels Like Spring

The Story of Springer, the Autobot who sprung past his triple changer peers.

Transformers’ Springer led the most dangerous team in Cybertron’s history and had a secret origin to boot! From his big-screen debut in the 1986 Transformers movie to his gritty IDW comic book adventures, Springer’s journey is part action hero, part mystery, and part… Han Solo with rotor blades. Whether you know him as the competent-yet-unsure Wreckers commander, the last Autobot triple changer standing, or just that cool bot Arcee definitely had a thing for, this is my ultimate deep dive into his toy history, his wildest adventures, and why Springer has earned a permanent place in the hearts (and shelves) of Transformers fans.
