Astrobots Athenia
A toy/character I know nothing about. I just bought it because it's a femme-bot, that was on sale, and looked cool. Obviously she didn't come with the wrecker insignia, that's my addition so she fits in better with my Autobots.
I know it's a character from a 5 issue comic miniseries, Astrobots, written by Simon Furman of Marvel Transformers and early IDW tf fame, but I can find very little information on it save the rather vague solicitations, and it doesn't seem to be available for sale anywhere anymore. (Astrobot is a difficult term to search as it mostly pulls up cheap toys for toddlers and Knock-off transformers/star wars toys!)
I from what I can gather she's one of the protagonists of the book, apparently tasked with caring for human space -colonists in suspended animation. And the story seems to revolve around two factions of Astrobots, the heroes protecting the colonists, and the villains who want an astrobot civilization without humans. But I could be completely wrong on that!
Admittedly with it being a Simon Furman book I can't say I'm particularly interested in reading it, as he's infamous for his tone deaf treatment of women/ female-presenting transformers /robots in his writing! And even ignoring that I've generally found I don't like his writing style that much...
It's even unclear what company made the toy.
The box says toy forge / toy notch who appear to be a 3D printing company, though the toy doesn't look/feel like the typical 3D printed plastic I've handled.
(Admittedly the only 3D printed stuff I've handled are upgrade kits for transformers).
There's some indication Toy Forge may or may not be linked to Ocular Max, who themselves are probably Mastermind Creations (the third party company known for making idw style*not* Transformers). The shop I bought it from had her categorised as a Mastermind Creations figure, so I have no idea!
Whatever the backstory of the figure/character she's a cool little toy with lots of alternative hands, though unfortunately the grey paint they used is extremely vulnerable to chipping/flaking off.

🕊️ SATURN
OBSERVATIONS
◽Saturn( if 7th house lord) and North-Node aspects especially conjunction can expect something odd happening during their marriage. Something unusual that makes your wedding day memorable in a good or bad way.
◽Saturn dominants should not go for opening their business. Because , Saturn is definitely not a leader, unlike Sun. They are more good at taking orders and executing them.
◽Smart work doesn't go well for Gemini Saturn.
◽Saturn ruling 6th house and going to 9th house can indicate taking loans for higher studies
◽An Aries Saturn retrograde will always prioritise their work and career over anything.
◽Now this one is very personal observation. I have seen one of my friends have Saturn square moon and also Saturn trine Neptune. The thing I noticed that no matter how many difficult situations she is in, she won't show it. There's this glow or smile on her face that makes other things that everything is going well in her life. This is how her Saturn trine Neptune helps her to cover up her problems whenever she wants to.
◽9th house Saturns were not allowed to go for higher studies in places away from their place of living.
◽Also, I have noticed that harmonious Saturn - Venus aspect people tend to favour female figures a lot.
◽Saturn square Sun are secretly hating on their fathers but can't talk about it loud
◽10th house Saturns always have to work 200% more than others to get something. It's like something that seems easy, so you don't prepare much, and it turns out that the results aren't good.
◽Saturn - mercury ( difficult aspects) often have problems with putting up their own opinions out there. They have this fear that maybe their thoughts or opinions don't contribute much. There's always this need to push them and let them know that they need to speak up if they feel like.
◽Saturn - Venus ( difficult aspects) are always giving explanations to prove themselves right to their partners.
◽Saturn, Sun and Chiron in the 7th house can indicate having a very protective father who didn't like you interacting with others much. Due to which, you try to hide certain things from them.
◽Bro, just run if your boss has virgo Saturn. He will nitpick everything till the work has been done to his satisfaction.
◽Also, virgo Saturns are healers in some way. They love helping out people, giving them advices to maintain their diets. Literally, waking up people at 5 am, to do exercise together.
◽You know why Saturn is debilitated in Aries because Aries indicates making your own decisions, more like being your own boss. But Saturn is not like that. Saturn's personality is of someone who takes work and get them done within the time limit.
◽Something similar is found in Leo because both Aries and Leo are fire signs. Leo also indicates leadership and being confident about your decisions.
◽Saturn- moon conjunction is one of the toughest conjunction, I have ever seen, especially in the 1st house. These people either didn't get much attention or love from their mothers or their mother wasn't present in their life.
Now, heree comes a twist, if in this conjunction, moon is in cancer or Taurus, you can see that the person's mother was always with them but she was very strict and wanted her child to remain in discipline always.
◽Something similar can be seen if Saturn aspects 4th house of your chart(as per vedic astrology)
◽9th house Saturns can actually start believing in religious works or even go to pilgrimages after the age of 30.
◽If Saturn holds the highest degree in your chart( excluding SN,NN, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus), you will see that the person gets instant karma if they do something that's violates the principles of Saturn as per their chart.
For eg. 10th house Saturns slacking off....and getting hit by karma instantly.
◽Capricorn Saturns being secretive about their wealth is a must.
◽7th house lord as Saturn can feel like marriage will tie them down or lessen their control over life.
◽Saturn in 11th house will see that they don't really have a person in their life whom they can call "best friend".
◽Also, I have seen how 11th lord conjunct with Saturn in different houses will show that somehow their friends will always rely on them for the things relating to the house where the conjunction is happening.
For eg, 11th lord conjunct with Saturn in 10th, can indicate that their friends are always clinging to them for climbing up in the social ladder or maybe things related to academics
If it's in 12th house, can indicate that their friends are always seeking that emotional support from them
