Galactic Man<p>A special post-retirement Deskbot today! My nom de guerre has expanded beyond this lowly account to become something of a secondary identity of late, so I decided to celebate by grabbing the Transformers Generations Selects release, <b>Galactic Man Shockwave</b>, that homaged Shockwave's ancient, pre-Transformers origins as the Astro Magnum/Spark Man/Galactic Man toy of legend. ​:decepticon:​<span><br><br>Photos below, and in the follow-up post.<br><br>As seems more common these days, I consider GM as his own bot rather than just grey Shockwave. But what personality would he have? Still coldly logical, more machine than robotic being? Another name for the toy was Spark Man. Sparks in TF lore are Souls, so...Soul Man? Is he a loose, jivving hepcat like Scatman Crothers or James "Spark Brother" Brown? He bears no insignia so what is his alignment, Chaotic Neutral? Such fun!<br><br>That red eye tho...</span>😍 Wow, Shockwave <i>really</i><span> lost out being given a yellow one.<br><br>1/2<br><br></span><a href="https://mecha.garden/tags/Deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Deskbot</a> <a href="https://mecha.garden/tags/Transformers" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Transformers</a> <a href="https://mecha.garden/tags/Photoygraphy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Photoygraphy</a> <a href="https://mecha.garden/tags/GalacticMan" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GalacticMan</a> <a href="https://mecha.garden/tags/Shackwave" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Shackwave</a> <a href="https://mecha.garden/tags/AstroMagnum" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AstroMagnum</a> <a href="https://mecha.garden/tags/SparkMan" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SparkMan</a></p>
Lothar Hex<p>Back in the office after a week off. Bringing Battletrap in as my <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" target="_blank">#deskbot</a> felt appropriate for some reason.</p>
Lothar Hex<p>So if Red Alert only has one hand, is this technically dual-wielding? <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a> conundrum.</p>
Lothar Hex<p>Remember in IDW where they had one issue where Ramjet was trying to takeover the Decepticons with a complex plan involving a Euro lottery, a slightly racist Mini-Con and subpar human clones? Then Megatron had a simple one that involved beating Ramjet to death? Good times. Anyway new <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a>.</p>
Lothar Hex<p>Today's <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a> theme is space ships. Or space shapes. Shape ships</p>
Lothar Hex<p>Comic Shockwave is my last <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a> before a 6 day weekend. Yay easter and leftover work holidays. Thanks Jesus!</p>
Lothar Hex<p>Straxus came in to work to pick(axe) my colleagues brain as today's <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a>.</p>
Lothar Hex<p>New <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a>, Energon Snowcat. Lovely little fig and really like the various modes. Wish more bit pegged in securely like the legs in alt mode but still fun. Now...does he go on the Cyclonus shelf?</p>
Lothar Hex<p>CW Sky Lynx for today's <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a>. Travel sized magnificence for when bringing in the Commander might be a bit much.</p>
Lothar Hex<p>Wasp is here to lose his marbles and kill Bumblebee. And he's lost all his marbles. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a></p>
Lothar Hex<p>Congratulations to Hasbro for creating a character that makes Megatron, aka Mecha-Stalin, relatable. Good toy though. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a></p>
Lothar Hex<p>Definitely my fave pickup of my recent bot purchases. Megatronus joins me as today's <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a>.</p>
Lothar Hex<p>You hear "Fat Tony wants to talk to you, " and then see these two walk through your door. Double <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a> day.</p>
Lothar Hex<p>Gamer Ironhide as today's <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a>. Love the mould. I think Ratchet wears the bot mode a little better due to the deco popping a little bit more but this defintetly makes good use of it. Plus the axe suits a warrior more than a medic. Also shotguns are cool.</p>
Lothar Hex<p>Siege Brunt is today's <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a>. Probably my fave of the weapon/armourizer toys because he just oozes "front line grunt" energy. Also HIT EM WITH THE CLAMPS, CLAMPS!</p>
Lothar Hex<p>Work <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a> of the day. TF One Megatron with some upgrade kit cannon being used as a stand-in until the DNA Design kit is released.</p>
Lothar Hex<p>Some sort of joke about monkeys or apes. Look I'm tired. Just enjoy the <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a>.</p>
Lothar Hex<p>I'm here to talk in a Russian accent and kick ass. Then a rat blew me up. War for Cybertron Kingdom(?) Ravage is today's <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a>.</p>
Lothar Hex<p><a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a></p>
Lothar Hex<p>Murder couple. <a href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23deskbot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deskbot</a></p>
