I'm back from TFUKCon! Hope you enjoyed that JP BW compilation at the weekend -- but I'm not going to make you wait another two weeks for your regularly scheduled dose of all-new Basics! This coming weekend, we're going up, up, and away with a long-demanded look at the last of the 1985 Minibots! Get ready for the story of that stunt-flying showman POWERGLIDE, and the girl who loved him!

This weekend, I'm a guest at the sold-out TFUKCon in Birmingham, England - so while I'm away, in lieu of a regular new episode of The Basics, you can tune into a special compilation video about the Japanese "Beast Wars" series! On the same week when TakaraTomy has just announced new toys of BW Galvatron and Gigastorm, this hour-long special collects, revises, updates, and expands a selection of earlier episodes about "Beast Wars II" and "Beast Wars Neo." This episode will premiere at 9pm BST on Friday, rather than the usual Saturday morning slot - then, instead of your regular two-week break, I'll be back next weekend with an all-new episode!

This weekend, we're suiting up for The Basics on one of the mightiest weapons on Cybertron! From its conceptual origins in "Super-God Masterforce" with Godbomber and God Ginrai to its television debut in "Transformers: Prime," learn the history of the power-enhancing battlesuit known as the APEX ARMOR!

GRIMLOCK IS COMING to Battersea Power Station... and so am I! Next Tuesday (April 28), the voice of G1 Grimlock, Gregg Berger, will be attending a special free meet-and-greet at the Official Transformers Store at Battersea Powerstation in London, England! I'll be making my first visit to the store to take part in the event - if you're in the area, come along and say hey!
Check the Battersea store site for details: transformersbattersea.com/pages/events
The event runs from 5pm-8pm, but I'll be around from earlier in the day!

Tomorrow, The Basics takes wing for a look at another one of those prehistoric powerhouses, the Dinobots! He's had a few names in his time, but we know him best as SWOOP - the terrifying pterosaur who's second only to team leader Grimlock as the most distinctive and memorable member of the group! Watch it now, a day early and ad-free, by becoming either a channel member or a Patreon supporter! www.patreon.com/posts/155857142

A common theme in "Transformers" stories is the merging of the organic and the technological - flesh and metal working as one to acheive feats neither can do alone! This weekend, I chart the history and evolution of the concept, from Headmasters to Pretenders to Beast Warriors and more, in The Basics on TECHNORGANICS! This episode is available to watch early and ad-free right now for channel members, or Patreon supporters! www.patreon.com/posts/154630107
