OH MY GODFATHERS!!!
Every year I'm blown away by the quality of the magazine you guys put out, but this year the quality is just incredible! And and and IT'S SO THICK!
I had no idea just how nostalgic I would find what are known to me as GOBOTS!
The toy guide section was a trip down memory lane... so long forgotten.
I remember studying the card back of the one figure I had, Geeper-Creeoer (who I renamed 'Jetrunner'(?) and made him a Deception), wishing I could get some of the other figures.
The ambulance, space shuttle, the train. And the one I wanted the most: TANK!
Years later, a spectacularly lovely Nick (or was it Blueshift himself?) very kindly gifted me a Tank and a Dive Dive after I'd bought something. Tank is such a unique design.
The toy range is just so varied and and and charming! You go from futuristic tanks and jets, to everyday vehicles, to military vehicles, to to to CLASSIC CARS WITH TOP HATS!!! Lots of motorcycle style figures. And to make the goodie leader a fighter-jet and the baddie leaders a motorbike?!?!
But there were so many I'd never seen before. And the names!!! THE NAMES!!!! Brilliant and hilarious! I showed the kids and they thought the names were very funny, their favourite was the mighty SPOONS! HE'S A FORKLIFT TRUCK CALLED SPOONS!!! Pumper and Dumper. Hans-cuff. Brilliant brilliant names...
I Haven't finished reading everything yet, the mag is just so packed!
So far, as well as the fantastic toy guide section, I've really enjoyed Pinwig's history of the comic, and I thought Andy's art in 'Revenge if the Robo Machines' that followed it was hauntingly reminiscent of the early Marvel UK art! The Doctor's stories are gloriously obscure, I laughed out loud to "Gobots in Disguise', one can stare at the Space Battle double-spread for days and still find new details, and 'A big hand for Cy-kill' was disturbing but brilliant!
There's just so much to read and discover!
Absolutely incredible guys, your geniuses.
And and and it's THICK!

Oh Í used to love The Six Million Dollar Man when I was a youngster! I didn't know William Shatner was in one though! Gosh I haven't seen it... since I was a youngster.

Yes.
The world number 1 and (at time if writing) number 2 have not coloured themselves in favour during this episode.

"I swore I'd never use one of these; computer! Activate the emergency medical hologram!"
"Please state the nature of the medical emergency."
"Half a dozen Borg are about to come through that door! I need you to create a diversion while we get away!"
"Create a diversion? I'm a doctor, not a doorstop."

And thus, I have seen fifty years upon this Earth. The passage of time has weathered me and calls on me to don the mantle of wise counsellor burdened with years and wisdom... Ha! *hearty laugh* For what reason should I grow up! I refuse. *Henshin pose* Hold onto the delight and wonder of your inner child, in the face of all the world! Little Kid with Money, Galeforce Karl! *completes Henshin* Karl Happy scoobery dooberies! 50. So how many of us is that now? Big Phil passed the great 50 with The Floyd a bit back. Anyone else?

I can't wait until that Brawn gets reissued later but with battle damage as Dead Brawn. You know it's going to happen. -Ralph Yes there certainly seems to be a market for that kind of thing. The child has grown, the dream has gone...
