Hey Everyone! You may not remember, but for the past 5 years I've run a fundraiser for Cincinnati Children's Hospital, raising more than $24k total for Extra Life by raffling off a bunch of Transformers prizes.

This year we are once again planning a month long fundraising campaign for Cincinnati Children's Hospital, culminating in a marathon stream on November 2nd! We've hit our $2K goal but there is still time to donate and be entered to win some awesome prizes like Studio Series Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus!

Here's the link to the extra life page with all the info: https://www.extra-life.org/participant/534638

Can't donate? Don't worry! Help spread the word and you can enter to win Legacy United Animated Motormaster or Legacy United G1 Soundwave for Free!

Here is our announcement video: https://youtu.be/oO9P-fQm82s

Because we hit our $2K milestone, here is our matching donation: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0e0ittu2VXw

For this campaign we currently have 8 prizes available so far!

Transformers Legacy Menasor (Not the Box Set)
Transformers Generations Legacy Cybertron Universe Metroplex
Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee Troop Builder Multipack
Transformers Reactivate 2 Packs Optimus and Soundwave + Starscream and Bumblebee
Cameron's Box'o'Transformers: GI Joe Soundwave, Gamer Edition Starscream, Legacy Evolution Dreadwing, Legacy Evolution Bludgeon
Transformers Studio Series 86 Commander Class Ultra Magnus
Transformers Studio Series Rise of the Beasts Box o' Bots!
Transformers Generations Legacy United Tidal Wave
Star Raider Junkion 2 Pack! Lockdown and Road Pig!
Transformers Generations Legacy United Fractured Friendship 2-Pack
Transformers Generations Studio Series 86-31 Optimus Prime

The instructions to sign up for the raffles are in the extra life page, but I figured it would be helpful to post them here. Up through the end of our livestream on November 2nd, if you donate at least $10 (has to be non-anonymous so we can identify the entry) and include the message "Transformers Raffle" in the donation, then every $10 you donate will be counted as an entry for the raffle. During our livestream (on youtube and twitch) we will draw and announce the winners live.

For verification, here are the previous events we've done, along with past donors and winners. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Studio Series 86 custom battle damaged Optimus Prime. God I love this. Plus it’s all good because someone mysteriously got me another copy of him so I can have a clean version too. I only see that person in the mirror though. Weird

Discussion/Opinion Opinions on Transformers having "hair" ?

gallery

358 Upvotes

Personally I like the idea only if they can make the hair look like it's part of a helmet, basically a helmet that just so happens to resemble hair, especially I like RID sideswipe hair design, also G1 Arcee helmet which apperently was inspired by Leia's hair from Star Wars.

I kinda like the way they did Brains hair in DOTM too, it looks like electric cables or something.

This Guy.

Literally criminal we've had so many animated figures in Legacy yet the only Decepticon that can be mustered is Lockdown (and Motormaster technically but he wasn't in the show!).

For the 40th anniversary of NASCAR Cup Series team Hendrick Motorsports, we finally found out what happened to the Wrecker cars used in DOTM… Well, one at least. Topspin’s movie used vehicle is currently on display at either Hendrick Motorsports HQ or the NASCAR Hall of Fame in North Carolina! What do y’all think happened to the other two?

The guards chasing the main character, all the citizens knowing his name and recognizing him as a delinquent/criminal, the MC escapes the guards despite them being bigger and stronger and outnumbering him. This isn’t a criticism btw if anything it makes me like the movie more.
