One Epic Implosion

Image
 May 10th 2021 It's the day that many should remember going down as the Epic Online Implosion that only a select group of the fandom experienced, but will hopefully resonate with fans weeks and months to come as the moment when what was said and what actually happened proved more that it's not about what can't be dropped by the fandom but what won't go away because it demands a shift from reality into a morphed version of glory days ended that will not be given back. After a long day of confrontation on different accounts across twitter, Pete had a epic meltdown on long time twitter user Vangelus, who handled the situation as best he could. Vangelus is NOT some one who has been vocally attacking Pete, but because in Pete's mind he is sure he's in on it... he insisted that Vangelus engage him. It was uncalled for harassment and Vangelus held his own. Click here to read the resulting tweets |  Tweet from Pete that started it all..  | ..more here | ..and here | .

Fan is Harassed off Twitter

May 10, 2021 Random online Transformers reviewer named Brentosaur posted a personal tweet on his opinion of BotCon. He did not @ at anyone but Pete and some of his supporters found and engaged with Brentosaur until he felt threatened enough to delete his twitter account to keep the harassment from continuing. Not sure if Brent was being targeted from the beginning? Pete seems to allude several times online since this interaction that there are a group of specific "bad actors" trying to soil his name and what he's built. But the list seems to keep growing and new people are being added almost every time there is a drama event online. Anyone that says anything about him that is negative seems to be apart of this growing group YET, they have been around for 5-8 years? One might say that anyone that criticizes Pete is a "bad character" by virtue of just not being on his side. |  Brentosaur Post One  |  Brentosaur Post Two  |  Brentosaur Post Three  |  Brentosaur Pos

Keeping Accountability 102

Night Shining the company owned and run by Pete Sinclair recently posted the following free comic for its RoboCon 2021 . And then the following happened: Twitter Post While everything has turned out right in the end , for a person who has boasted that they know how the fandom and fans are, it shouldn't be a surprise that fans notice things and many of them are very supportive of many artists all throughout the fandom. While the original post gave credit to the artists who worked on the free comic, you'd think that the CARE expected would also not have been forgotten on this important detail. Transformers fans have been an incredibly vocal majority online in giving credit and support to artists. Does Pete really know this fandom like he says he does? Was he paying attention when fans ranted about the FT-24 Rouge, Nicee, or the recently AlienAttack Toys OPG-01 all because they were overly sexualized? (All 3rd party products too.) If he's thinking this is special attention bec

The number one problem about BotCon's handling of the social media questions on WHO is in charge brings up a greater problem that is surfacing after a year of no information. There actually WAS some information just not pushed out on their social media accounts. Or if it was on the website it was deleted for newer updates. (One report details something mailed to them.) But these reports are buried in forum posts spread on several different forums in the transformer online communities. And if you are a fan who isn't on the forums or does not have the time to frequent them often, you are missing all the important announcements. TFW2005 AllSpark Tformers If you aren't on each of these transformer news websites OR on the AllSpark News Discord server, then you are missing things that could have been reported but are most definitely NOT where their main social media accounts could easily advertise. Or their website. Our plea is to the fans then, please help us find posts where Bo

It's Always Been There

This obscure thread from the TFW2005 forum is very telling of how things were as a historical photo into the fans of 2012. Pete the fan was a wonderful person, but Pete the FunPub employee was a different thing entirely. It's a short thread but the final post seals the tale. Click Here to read
