I Guess This Is the Sucker-Punch of Cybertron
While big Optimus lovingly cradles the wounded Bumblebee in the Fall of Cybertron videogame, it looks like the Autobots of Hasbro’s Kre-O toys have taken a more “guerrilla” approach in their fight against the Decepticons, and have made it their mission to ruin the Christmas of every Decepticon they see. It’s a timeless holiday message every child needs to know — everyone deserves a gift for the holidays, even if it’s a goddamn first to the face. Um, no offense to you Prime lovers, but I would watch a Kre-O Transformers show so hard. (Via Seibertron)

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
