It has just been brought to our attention that Heromachine Community member Cliff unfortunately passed away yesterday, December 23rd. Cliff was a wonderful member of the community, known as much for his exceptionally long and insightful comments as for his excellent machinings. It is a sad day to lose such a wonderful creator and he will be dearly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this difficult time.
Rest in peace Cliff, see you on the other side dude.

Okay, guys, anyone who’s spent any time on the Internet since Last Jedi came out knows it’s been controversial. Since JR did a fantastic review, I thought maybe I’d talk about the backlash surrounding it. But that’s super negative to do right before Christmas, and refuting all the complaints would be super spoilery. So I thought I’d do something a little more uplifting for the season. Get your kleenex, folks.
Sorry I’m a bit late judging this weeks contest guys, I’ve been doing late shifts at work and my schedule is all out of whack. Shouldn’t be a problem after the new year, it’s just Christmas, not much I can do.
Either way, last week I gave you guys the challenge of coming up with the best possible caption for this anime still:
And your top 5 are:
Drinkfluid: It was all fun and games, until the wind changed.
dope meshter: That moment you realised Pikachu can talk.
Treasure Hunter: The normal response to the latest Team Rocket swimsuit calender.
Treasure Hunter: They said Net Neutrality would slow down certain content, but the episode has been stuck in this frame for the last hour…
HerrD: Try as the might, the new pop band just couldn’t hit the same note and the same time.
But there can only be one winner and that winner is:

Sorry for how long it took to get this contest judged everyone. I have no idea where djuby has gotten to. I was kinda waiting for him to come back and then everything got away from me what with it being Christmas time and all. SHould have sorted this out sooner and I apologise.
Anyway, only three entries into the contest before it was closed, but it was very hard to chose between them. I loved the flame effect on Kellkin’s second design and the Japanese styling of HerrD’s entry, but in the end I had to go with the entry that combined both, which was Melmo44

Who is this stranger ? Could it be a rare Kaldath sighting ? Why yes, yes it is! I know you haven’t seen a post from me for a good long time now, and that is because I have more or less retired from the land of Heromachine and left you all in the the fine hands of JR. Retired as I may be today I came across some news that I just had to share. News that is sure to shake up the MCU forever. According to this article – https://io9.gizmodo.com/its-official-the-x-men-and-fantastic-four-are-coming-b-1821139320 – Fox and Disney have come to an arrangment to bring The X-Men and The Fantastic Four under the banner of Marvel Studios!

Twas three weeks before Christmas
And we were biding our time.
Tonight was for dinos
(next week’s all Jedi)
The people all waited on YouTube with care
With hopes that a trailer soon would be there
There’s he in his t-shirt and I in my hoodie,
Waiting and hoping it would be a goody.
When from the table there came such a tither,
‘The trailer is live, it was posted on Twitter!’
