In honour of @trixter 's very hard work here's a special #Deskbots post celebrating the very lovely Transformers Legends anthology paperback! The book has been out of print for some time but Trixter, uber-Fan, has painstakingly created a digital edition to ensure this minor classic is not lost to time! And now its ready! Aaaahhh!

Please grab yourself a copy here and be sure to say nice things to Trixter on your way past. ☺️

Bit hacked off here. I've painstakngly tidied all the spelling mistakes even deleting and redrafting this post to sort out the mess but I think Fedilab (or Masto itself) has screwed up somewhere. Going to leave it just now but if that's Fedilab I'll be looking for a replacement app.

A very special #Gobot themed #Deskbots today. These are all toys I owned as a boy, lost to time, so I'm *thrilled* to own them again.

From left to right:
Spay-c (no relation to Kevin)
Rest-Q ("Rescue", geddit?)
Spoons (???)
Water Walk (The perfect Easter purchase 😋)

Spay-c is what used to be known as a "Space Shuttle", a vehicle used to hop into orbit and back. The US had five of them (name them all without googling); two were named after Star Trek series, one after a Stargate series.

A battle for the ages! This scene is reminiscent of a fight between Galvatron and the ever-popular Dinobots in issue 102 of the Marvel UK comic!

Galv-antagonist here in the colour his original toy was mysteriously released in (totally different from his movie dark purple appearance).

Who won? Despite the Dinobots' strength it's likely the super powerful Galvatron *would* have won; only the appearance of the Decepticon army made him flee the scene!

Micro-Seekers! These core class boys are pretty nifty toys. Just a shame I've had to pinch Legends Skywarp's weapinry for this shot after Hasbro decided in their unfinite wisdom to not give him the arm cannons that Starscream had.

I mean, by all accounts that build-a-weapon gimmick didn't even work correctly so what was the point, again?

Today's ragtag assortment of #deskbots

Good morning! It's time for another random photo of a #Transformers toy from my archive of #DeskBots - today we have old truck-trousers himself, Battletrap. Or was this version Battleslash? Either way, a fun take on the Duocon gimmick.

Back to the Actual Office today so I'm also back to the #DeskBots! And I have finally had a chance to pull #Transformers Retro Movie Hot Rod out of his box! PINK!

Also a note on how I'm doing #DeskBots

1. Individual posts, not a thread. That way they can bubble into your feed organically

1.1. That also means if you want to see previous posts, you go via the hashtag and see a bunch of other people's great bots as well. You're welcome.

2. Yes, I will occasionally dribble on about why I like a bot. They wouldn't be on my desk if I didn't like them, that'd be weird.

3. Sometimes, there's more details in the image description. It's a lottery.

I'm not posting #DeskBots on weekends, not because I post from work, but because I'm lazy

Two #deskbots for the price of one! Brawn and Guzzle, having fun! #deskbot #transformers https://mastodon.social/media/lEPwtKb49nvsZxdsil0 https://mastodon.social/media/CQy0S2gRg_d6WS3oFME

Today's #deskbots are Metroplex's little buddies Scamper and Slammer. Scam needs a new badge.
