Huh, Transformers and Werewolf: The Apocalypse this month. Technically both about shapeshifters!

Actually there was a Transformer that changed from a wolf into a chainsaw! Chainclaw was his name. Appeared in the 2023 movie apparently.

So he was just hanging around on Cybertron as a chainsaw but needed to disguise himself to not appear threatening on Earth and picked a giant wolf?

I've never really gotten the hang of the origin story of these guys other than, "We're cool toys."

LOL, and apparently the guy is a hypochondriac to boot: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Chainclaw_(G1)

And... appears that he is a bear, not a wolf, but also, no chainsaw. Just lasers.

I know, it's hilarious!

That Chainclaw you linked to is the G1 Clainclaw. You need the 2023 Rise of the Beasts Chainclaw.

(Might actually watch that film if it truly has a robotic wolf that transforms into a chainsaw.)

Just to bust that final rib, here's a picture of the toy version.

Yes, the chainsaw comes out his butt.

"Oh my." (George Takei voice)

I never would have imagined someone would decide a toy that way. But wow, and funny. Thanks for sharing guys!

So funny! I do have a soft spot for a lot of those Eighties toy franchises, there was a wild creativity alloyed to world building, often with obscure money-saving decisions that led to icons of pop culture.

Quite a slow month ahead it appears.

The Wrath & Glory tie-in with Darktide leaves me cold. I don't think the video game has anything to offer the TTRPG, other than marketing ploy.

Anyone ever played a decent TTRPG that was based on a video game??

Let me stop you right there, Argus.

Did you just say "G.I. JOE My Little Pony Power Rangers Transformers Roleplaying Game"?

It's an adventure that can work with any of four RPGs:

Throw in Palladium:RIFTS and then you could do all 4 genres at the same time.

I must read it! Though if it doesn't have Snake Eyes riding Twilight Sparkle into battle against the Decepticons led by Rita Repulsa... I'll be disappointed.

"In Thrall of the Everhungering Ghoul Sword" Oof, good name!!

Now your quest is to find the best music track to accompany an adventure by this name.

OK, here's my addition to our "In Thrall of the Everhungering Ghoul Sword" soundtrack.

That was fun. My mind goes to so many inappropriate places.
