There is now that official MP Ginrai/Power Master Optimus Prime, but I still think this looks cooler and works perfectly as an MP Power Master Prime. He is slightly jank in some places and there are a few minor QC issues since I originally got him years ago, but I absolutely love this. Not too complicated to transform either and very sturdy.

I picked him off a shelf for the first time in over a year, and I casually manhandled him as I transformed the truck and trailer and everything went smoothly. If I am able to, I would love to get Fans Hobby's take on MP Overlord someday, but everything is too expensive these days.

Uso's mom was a HEAD of her time.

Why is the Japanese dub is so intense? When Thomas begged Gordon to stop it gave me Evangelion flashbacks. 😂

I am Japanese and grew up with both the US and Japanese dubs. Everything is more intense in Japanese.

I think the designs are super cute and the 2D style reminds me of when Veggietales did a short lived 2D Larryboy spinoff. This show was a lot of missed potential, and when I tried to watch an episode it felt way too babyish like its designed just for toddlers, while other iterations feel more watchable for older audiences.

Currently watching the classic model era and it aged like wine as an adult to the point that I enjoy even more than I did as a child. I love how the engines have conflicts and banter with each other, often with a dry sense of humor. This show has none of that and does the generic "EVERYONE ARE BEST FRIENDS" trope many baby shows have. That's not how to real world works!

If the show was more polished with better writing, world building, consistent animation, and less musical segments, this could have been a solid reimagining of everyone's favorite island of sentient trains.

After seeing Fox McCloud in the Mario Galaxy Movie I was excited for what Nintendo was cooking up. When this Starfox game was announced I was excited at first but was immediately thrown off when it was confirmed it will be a Starfox 64 remake.

Starfox 64 is the N64 classic that was a remake/retelling of the SNES Starfox original. Then around 2013 the game got a remake for the 3DS, much like Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Then a few years later a new Starfox was made for the Wii U, Starfox Zero, which ended up being the third remake/retelling of Starfox 64. And now we have upcoming Starfox which is actually Starfox 64 4.

I feel mixed on this and have yet to buy a Switch 2, but maybe this will be a template for Nintendo when they decide to go beyond Starfox 64 and try new things with the franchise. I personally would want a remake or original game stylized like Starfox Assault for its cool concepts.

Also we need an animated Starfox movie/TV show. I need to see more of Fox from the Mario Galaxy Movie.

Basically like the Spiderverse films or TMNT Turtles Forever. In this hypotheical movie where all the main 4 Thomas incarnations meet and go on an absurd adventure, and they all have the same animation styles as they did in their respective shows, with Classic being the only live action one.

As a kid I took those displays for granted in the 2000s, but seeing all this brings back memories.

The Yuuzhan Vong may be immune to the Force, but when it's Zeztzing Time, they wouldn't stand a chance!

They're absolute trolls and rage baiters. I especially love the ones with the goofier phases. I can't even imagine what devious things they would do if they had access to the modern internet. Their best episode from what I seen is Pop Goes The Diesel.

Lately I have been revisiting Thomas as an adult and I am suddenly a big fan like when I was a toddler. Currently on Season 3, but Season 2's Pop Goes the Diesel is my favorite and most memorable episode yet!

For those curious, my new job is in the trades as a fire technician. I previously graduated from trade school studying electrical back in September, and I am excited but nervous too.

Though far fetched, if this job and career goes well, I have been entertaining the idea of one day going back to college (my employer said they can provide scholarships) to study electrical/mechanical engineering so I could someday get a job working on trains, specifically maintaince on the diesels that pull freight, or SPETA passenger trains. Revisiting Thomas as an adult has further fueled this wild dream. I even bought a book today about 100 trains in 100 years so I can get a head start on train knowledge, if such a crazy desire works out.
