A special, heartfelt thanks must go to @thetfukguide.bsky.social Almost 30 years ago, G was one of the many penpals I had in TMUK who I used to trade fanzines with. Not only has he been one of the most prolific&talented creators in TF fandom, but also one of the genuinely nicest human beings.

Went to bed early last night only to wake up to an unexpected number of notifications. Just wanted to say that I am eternally grateful for all of the support from the TF community, whether that is buying a copy of the fanzine, liking some content I’ve posted, or promoting the fanzine to friends.

I might be alone in this, but I’m hoping for two things to happen with this election: 1) a Tory wipeout into 3rd place with the Lib Dem’s as the official opposition. 2) Keir Starmer to pull one out of the Tory playbook but rather go hard left as soon as he is in power and reset us back to 97.

I really hate having to shill but some unexpected stuff happened (nothing major) and it would massively help if I could offload as many of the 16 remaining copies of my fanzine as possible to recoup what I paid for the printing of them. ko-fi.com/tfdesolation

Unfortunately, my dad’s Alzheimer’s has been getting progressively worse since Christmas, and over the past month he has been in and out of hospital with what we have now discovered to be cancer in his kidneys, lungs, and spine.

Apologies for the complete radio silence during 2024. I just want to reassure people who follow the zine that I haven’t disappeared completely.

Chronologically it is inevitable. I always thought that Beast Wars & Animated were the yardsticks most western fans used to judge the “quality” of new shows by, but G1 is the yardstick to judge the “feels” of new shows if that makes sense.

but there are entire hordes of the modern fandom that are incredibly toxic, hold some morally abhorrent views, and display such ugly and manipulative behaviour to the extent that I don’t go to TF events.

After working on something comparing 90s TF fandom to the current fandom, I’m genuinely frightened by the amount of doublethink & “intersectional top-trumps” that exists now within this space. With one major exception, I can’t think of anyone from the 90s fandom I would go out of my way to avoid…

As always - this continues to be an entirely non-profit (typically loss-leading) endeavour and anyone who contributes to the fanzine will receive a free copy as a means of saying thank you.

If anyone would like to write their own story that contributes to the ongoing plotline, I would be more than happy to share all my planning notes. And I would be really grateful if anyone would be happy to help me refine the story beats I have planned for issues 4-6.

I would be really grateful if anyone would be able to help contribute to the fanzine - especially line art for the main comic strip or profile art for Lyzak and Nova Storm. I can do all of the colouring/lettering.

I've started work on issue 3 of my Desolation fanzine. I've written the main story for the issue, and plotted things out up to issue 6 which I think may become the final issue as it's becoming increasingly more difficult to produce an ongoing fanzine - especially to a standard that I'm happy with.

I’ve got 9 copies of issue 1 and 13 copies of issue 2 left for sale at ko-fi.com/tfdesolation...
£3.50 each plus postage. As this is an entirely non-profit making venture, I really need to shift these to break even on the project as costs were based on volume.

If you’re still doing that style of commission - we need a chat about some new images for issue 3. Drop me a DM on Instagram or the other social media hell site if you’re interested.

There were two Japanese TF 8bit games, I think. I would do a remake of the Headmasters game that had better controls and more appropriate enemies.

Does anyone else oscillate between the feeling of relief that it’s finally done, and the feeling of dread that you’ve not spotted an error, when you send stuff to the printers?

Pre-movie stories it was predominantly the cartoon, post-movie stories it was definitely the UK Marvel comics. I mean that both chronologically and in terms of the fiction.

This is another reason credible project from some of the other members of the TMUK collective & Toy-Fu. Not only is it an amazing zine but it raises money for charity - there has to be another 6 people somewhere who would love this #Transformers #TransformersFanzine #Gobots #RockLords
