WTF @ TFW – The TFW2005 Transformers Podcast WTF @ TFW – The TFW2005 Transformers Podcast

As the Eclipse comes and goes, Vangelus and TJ bear witness to an event only hinted at in the spreadsheets of yore: Aaron has finally fallen down the darkest of rabbit holes with no way to come out. At least he's able to record a couple of podcast episodes from down there.



Notes from the Hive:



* As always, you can find our hosts on BlueSky and Elon's nightmare social media platform under the names @Vangelus, @TJOmega and @aksmth. Some say they roam ever corner of the internet, nomadic in their ways.

* Aaron's Diaclone adventure hasn't been split up and specifically timestamped like typical haul gets, solely because I legit couldn't keep up with when he transitioned from one toy to the next.

* Jesus CHRIST, Aaron.

* Malunis posted their Shard creations over on Musksite! Check them out here and here!

* Month four is wrapping up for our team's Extra Life Fundraising, and so far we're at over $1,185 raised for various children's hospitals! Vangelus' continues to do his deathless Elden Ring adventure, Aaron's been doing his usual thing with the in-person grind, and even your friendly neighborhood editor Bees is playin' Game Roulette. You should probably donate to help the children. They would donate to you if you were sick and also had a job. Except Derek. That kid's a jerk.

We don't need John Cena anymore, folks! As Vangelus becomes the newest champion of the world of Lao Gan Ma, Aaron enters the incredible world of Garbage Disposal repair while TJ's continuing adventure into the world of Brave has him going face-to-face with the King himself.

Notes from the Hive:



* As always, you can find our hosts on BlueSky and Elon's nightmare social media platform under the names @Vangelus, @TJOmega and @aksmth. They're probably on other places, too. I dunno I'm just the editor, not their manager. You find it.

* Three months are in the books for our team's Extra Life Fundraising, and so far we're at over $770 raised for various children's hospitals! Vangelus' reputation has been Tarnished as he goes through his Elden Ring adventure, Aaron's been doing his usual thing with the in-person grind, and even your friendly neighborhood editor Bees has been trying to tackle the most Serious House on Serious Earth. You should probably donate. It doesn't matter to who, as either way sick kids gets the help they need. Unless you're some sort of monster that LIKES kids to be sick? But you wouldn't be like that, right? Hmm?

Vangelus is trapped within a mind palace of Ross headcanons this week, so it's up to TJ and Aaron to keep the ship afloat. Join us on this episode of WTF @ TFW as we talk about things that could have been, conspiracies, SUPERBOWLS and a post-Detolf trip to IKEA.

The powers that be have informed me that despite my love of the term "Droop Snoot", I'm not allowed to just have the description of this episode be the words "Droop Snoot" repeated over and over again. The lack of ability to spam "Droop Snoot" on the front page wasn't a decision of Vangelus', who particularly enjoys the words "Droop Snoot". The "Droop Snoot" discussion was specifically the cause of "Droop Snoot" expert Aaron, who brought the "Droop Snoot" to the table, and the constant use of the words "Droop Snoot" was not impeded by TJ this month either. Droop Snoot.

* Awww, hell. I don't have any notes on this episode. They talked a lot about toys, and hey spoilers for 640? They talk a lot about toys there too.

* Fine. Here's a link to a bookshelf they talked about. And also the other one.

Now it's our turn! First we'll play "TJ Returns from TFCon Orlando!" from my hand! This allows us to play "Aaron: The Non-Chiral" directly from our deck... but that's not all! After playing both of those cards, we reveal our face-down cards: "Vangelus, The Everwatching" and "The Neverending GoBots Rabbit Hole!" These two cards will work together, along with the rest of the field, to create a new episode of WTF @ TFW.



I end my turn.

Notes from the Hive:



* The Go Fund Me page for Bryce Rutledge- aka BrrIcy-

* As always, you can find our hosts over on Twitter at @Vangelus, @TJOmega and @aksmth. They're also on BlueSky! You can easily find them under the same names.

* The Playskool Big Adventures/Gobots 2002 toy that Aaron brought up as the EASIEST SIDESWIPE REDECO is right over here. I'd buy it. Don't pretend you wouldn't either. We know why you're here.

* The U-Haul Robot that was retroactively turned into Sentinel Prime is also over here.

* The specific custom Vangelus mentioned for said Sentinel Prime is from TFW Member LongarmMagnus! Good job!

* Fundraising is still going for the Extra Life team over at the usual link. Go donate to them. It's okay, I can wait.
