The name "Peppina" is one thrown about in the Pizza Tower community that usually means some kind of genderbent version of main protagonist Peppino Spaghetti. The most famous variation of the "Peppina" archetype being the anime magical girl Peppina Ramen created by @ketrindarkdragon, initially created as part of an April Fool's installment of their series of "What if Pizza Tower was a 90s cartoon?" series of fake screencaps, who has since garnered a mod dedicated to her (one that Ketrin has no involvement with, mind you) and plenty of fanart.

However, what many might not know is that, some time last February, something leaked onto the web: a Peppina seemingly designed by McPig himself. Now, I've heard that this version of the character may have been influenced by one of the people behind the Peppina mod, but I have no proof of it. All I can say is that I believe those who believe that a "proper" genderbend of Peppino should be as short and stocky as the real one must feel all sorts of conflicted feelings when seeing this fearful female frycook.

Thank you, Vector Prime, for answering my question. I should have assumed that Big's connection to his late father Blue Big should have contributed to his potential transformation. I wonder if this phantom resonance can lead to something more in the future. Perhaps a reunion of father and son from beyond the grave.

When Beast Convoy and Lio Convoy synchronized the power of their energy matrices, they transformed into Burning Convoy and Flash Lio Convoy respectively. Are these types of transformations common among matrix wielders like them? If so, what transformation does Big Convoy possess?

Dear Maximum Mammoth,

In order to promote cooperation and camaraderie among Convoy-type Transformers, Vector Sigma made a point of outfitting their Energon Matrices with the ability to resonate with each other. However, in one universe, Big Convoy's lingering hate for the Predacons over the death of his father was able to manifest in a sort of phantom resonance with Blue Big Convoy's extinguished Matrix, resulting in the birth of Blizzard Big Convoy.

Wreathed in white fur, Blizzard Big Convoy possessed the ability to supercool the air around him, freezing lesser foes dead in their tracks. In this Absolute Zero Field, only Big Convoy had the strength to still move, leaving him free to devastate his foes with the Blizzard Cannon. This form had none of Big Convoy's traditional bravado, his processors focused only on the elimination of his enemies.

However, as he became lost in his grief, he found himself unable to tell friend from foe, posing great risk to the Gung Ho’s crew of cadets. Only by uniting the warmth of their sparks to resist the cold were they able to embrace their commander and bring him back to the side of justice. It wasn’t until the final battle with Unicron that Big was able to truly master this form, resonating not with his grief, but with the memory of his father, purifying this ability and allowing him to banish the planet eater to the cold of space.

Yeah, got all three boop badges. Wasting time for invaluable signs of accomplishment on the internet. That's the good stuff right there.

Since it's April Fool's day, I'd like to make a post surrounding one joke that still sticks with me to this day. About a decade ago, IGN put out a trailer for the original Titanfall on Xbox One promoting a new crossover DLC. What would that DLC would entail? Why, it'd be none other than Optimus Prime himself as a usable Titan! In addition to a new in-game song by Linkin Park called "Prime Time"! Wow, so cool!

Optimus himself was voiced by Dave Fennoy, whose most well-known role in the gaming scene is Lee Everett from Telltale's The Walking Dead. Dave's also done some minor voicework for the franchise for reals, with his most recent role being as the Decepticon saboteur Overload from 2015's Robots in Disguise. Oh, and the narration at the start was Troy Baker, if none of y'all could tell.

The Deluxe Insecticons were a quadrio of Decepticons with insect alternate modes sold during the second year of the Transtormers toyline. Consisting of Venom the cicada, Chop Shop the stag beetle, Barrage the rhinoceros beetle, and Ransack the grasshopper, these four were different from the cheaper non-Deluxe trio of Insecticons that most people were familiar with, as their toys were originally designed by Artmic as part of the Armored Insect Corps Beetras toyline by Takatoku Toys, rather than by Takara for their own Diaclone toyline.

Each Insecticon was originally designed as an Insecter mecha to be piloted by one of Beetras' main cast members. Barrage was originally Beet-Gadol, Chop Shop was originally Beet-Gugal, Venom was Beet-Zeguna, and Ransack was Beet-Vadam (whose toy went unreleased by the time Takatoku collapsed). Alongside these four was a fifth, female mecha named Beet-Papil, themed after a ladybug. In addition, an attempt to refresh the brand as Beet Seven renamed the mecha Beet-Leide, giving her old name to a new mecha themed after a butterfly, as well as creating a new firefly-themed mecha dubbed Beet-Bigal. None of these three designs have been reused as inspiration for any new Transformers characters.

RIP Akira Toriyama (1955 - 2024) You were an absolute legend and you bestowed upon the world one of Earth's greatest heroes. A private dude who crafted colorful worlds with even more memorable characters. Now just make sure you don't fall off Snake Way!

Among the many properties found in the toys to life game that was Lego Dimensions was Valve's Portal, which due to the game's availability on the Wii U, made it the debut of Valve on a Nintendo console. Among the characters from the game series that made a return was none other than Cave Johnson, founder and CEO of Aperture Science, fulfilling the same role as he did in Portal 2, having left behind pre-recorded messages for Aperture employees and test subjects alike that linger on decades after his passing.

However, he also appears in another capacity: as a Citizen in Peril, a type of collectable that is common in Lego games. According to Cave himself, he was able to transfer his intelligence into what appears to be a 70s or 80s-styled version of a personality core. When compared to the other personality cores seen in Lego Dimensions, who use plenty of round pieces, the Cave Core is quite square (being Lego notwithstanding) using an old computer monitor as a face and having tapes running on the sides or something instead of the usual vents. There have been a few fanmade core designs for Cave, but I haven't seen a proper de-Legofication of this design yet.

Also, just to pad out this post a bit more, here's an image of one of the minikits you can collect from the Portal-themed levels. Each level in the game uses a different design for their ten minikits, and the Portal levels use cores with golden eyes and plating on certain parts of their bodies. There is also a red-eyed Amorality Core, but I can't find a clear-enough shot from the credits to use in this post. Also, it's kind of a nothing burger that I don't care to dive deep into.

Listening to Touhou music and how brassy it can be... it really makes me think about what it would've been like had I taken more of an interest in the trumpet back when I played it in band back in grade school. Maybe I'd have taken a shot at some of those brass sections myself. I mean, I was kinda aware of the series back then, so it's a possibility.

So me and my brother got a PS5 last Christmas, and we recently purchased and played through Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. I'm in a bit of a R&C mood because of it, so I'm making a post based on the game. Specifically, on the enigmatic pair that is MoyDoy and Clatchky.

Now, who these two characters are is kind of a mystery. They were members of the Resistance against the reign of the tyrannical Emperor Nefarious alongside Rivet, Captain Quantum, and Phantom. MoyDoy is the larger of the two, and is seemingly a member of the Argorian race from A Crack in Time (at least, that's what others claim, as I'm not actually deep enough into the series to verify), while Clatchky is the smaller cycloptic one in the helmet. They never make any physical appearances, only appearing in pictures, and are both implied to be dead by the time of the game's events.

As stated previously, there's not much on these guys, but what is there is kinda interesting. Such as, in a tweet celebrating the game's first anniversary, there's a to do list written by the Emperor reminding him to "make an example" of Clatchky in particular. Or the fact that, when the Emperor made a galaxy-wide PSA gloating about beating the Resistance and space pirates, MoyDoy is listed alongside Captain Quantum as a pirate, implying he left the Resistance at one point like Quantum did. Or the fact that the both of them were an entertainment duo of some kind who performed at Zurkie's Gastropub and Battleplex.

So there's this Pokémon fansite called Pokéos that dubs itself 'the ultimate Pokémon website'. It has an up-to-date Pokédex section on it, like any self-respecting site of self-proclaimed ultimate status should have, covering the different kinds of Pokémon in the games in detail. However, it appears to be going through a bit of an upgrade.

Yes, on the day I first learned about this site a few days ago, I also learned about the planned upgrade to said Pokédex. The 'Forgotten Dex', as they're calling it. The plan? To expand the Pokédex's coverage beyond those that are found only in the mainline games. To cover forms, outfits, and color schemes from the manga, anime, spinoff games, trading cards, and other merchandise by recreating them all in the style of Pokémon Home. This also goes for items like Poké Balls as well.

Currently, it's in an early beta stage that Pokéos members can only be accessed via Patreon, but once it's ready, it'll be open to the public for even non-Pokéos members to use. I've linked the Twitter of the guy who seems to be headlining this project, who has offered a few sneak peeks as to what you'll be able to find in the Forgotten Dex.

Just some FNaF character art I drew on the whiteboard in my house recently. I don't think I've made a post on Five Nights at Freddy's yet, so I'm just gonna say that I'm a bit of a fan of the series. Never played any of the games myself because I'm a coward, so I mainly digested their content through YouTube videos. I did watch the movie when it was in theaters with my mom. Most recent fan song that's been stuck in my head is "Stuck Inside" by Black Gryph0n. Uhh... yeah.

I had a weird dream last night. There was a part of it where I was watching a Planet of the Apes film, and the only scene I remember from it was a group of apes meeting a group of robotic organisms in what I can assume was under peaceful pretenses, and among the robots there were two Waddle Dees as well for some reason. An explosion happens in the distance and one of the apes, likely based on my subconscious memory of the antagonistic Koba from the recent trilogy, declares that it was a sign of a trap and orders the enemy's execution. This includes the two Waddle Dees, who are gunned down by the apes. No blood is spilt, but all of the robots/Dees were killed except for the leader of the group, who I guess was taken prisoner. There may have been more to the dream, but that's all I can remember. There may have been a part where I checked social media to see people's reactions, but I can't be sure.

@koopaspiderofdarkness Your wish is my command.

So, apparently, there's this Japanese superhero mascot who exists to promote healthy oral hygiene named Dentman, a warrior dressed in shining white who wields a giant toothbrush and originates from the "tooth fairy world" (which is weird since Japan doesn't believe in the tooth fairy), and his arch-nemesis, Mr. Mutens, is a living cavity with a giant piece of candy for a head. They've been blowing up on my Twitter timeline as of late, and I... kinda love them? I mean, it's just so... ridiculous? I mean, Dentman has streamed himself playing Fall Guys on YouTube, and Mr. Mutens does TikTok dances and whatnot, and it just... dear lord.

Well, it happened again, this time in regards to my Dentman/Mutens post. Just got back from walking my dog when I come home to this. I mean, that post has blown up a bit this past few days, but... "Root Canal Filling in Your Heart" indeed.

I dunno why I'm making this, to be honest. I'm not one to brag, not even the humble kind, but I feel like I had to do SOMETHING, no matter how minimal it really is.

Jesus H. Christ. All this in relation to my post relating to Honk from Transformers. Only one of them was a follow. Can't tell if it's another porn bot or what, so I'm gonna wait before I act. But Jesus. It was just... so much in just a few seconds.
