All kinds of love are encouraged in The Raging Fanboy toy chest…though techno-lesbianism is admittedly a bit rare around these parts.

Who says female electrical connectors are incompatible with one another?

Adding Insult to Injury

Words can hit like a fist. And, given the kind of literal punch Overlord packs, that’s saying something.

That was totally uncalled for.

Either you can build up an immunity to anything with enough experience or Impactor is a tremendous badass.

Get Bent!

If you can’t take proper care of your desiginated human, then you probably don’t deserve to have one in the first place.

When your would-be rescuer's official function is "Autobot Obliterator", be glad you don't end up as just a smear on the inside of his chassis.

Comic Book Sexual Innuendo – Part 19

2011/02/26

When making first contact, it’s natural for alien species to be curious about one another, especially if their respective biologies are vastly different. In certain situations, however, sometimes it’s best to treat curious extraterrestrials like precocious children by totally dodging their uncomfortable – but totally innocent! – questions.

Talk to the hand, bitch.

Robosexuality – Part 5

2010/08/06

As a theoretician, anthropologist, and daydreaming road hazard, Skids makes for a rather unlikely warrior in the ongoing conflict between the Autobots and the Decepticons. Like most of us, he only wants the simple things in life: to escape the horrors of war; to enjoy a peaceful existence dedicated to pursuing his own interests; to receive sponge baths from hot chicks in Daisy Dukes.

If this van's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'.
