The one what does the toy design credits.
Usually working on squirrely older Takara stuff, fiction wise.
My specialties in no particular order:
- Behind the scenes designer stuff (duh)
- Primus Vanguard stuff
- Cloud
- Diaclone
- Approximate knowledge of most of JG1, particularly the pack-in prose bits.
If you need help with something Japanese I probably at least know a guy.
Anyway stream Go! Go!

Collating dialogue from, to, and about Primus in the Generations Selects Special Comic in an attempt to nail down a motive for porting in each new toy G1 World warrior to the Precursor World in the greater context of his plot to destroy the universe.

Terrorcons
Honestly not sure Primus meant to summon these guys, they hitchhiked through the Dinobots' portal and share no scenes with him so far that I can find.
Vector Sigma disclaimer
- Primus's mellow future self Vector Sigma closing time loops is distinct from the young Primus's hare-brained scheme so the gifting of the Magma Blades to Grimlock in Volcanicus 1 and the deployment of Lio Convoy to 2050 in Finale 2 are purposefully excluded here.
