The Energon Pub

Nightshade is very green, but man does the metallic green pop! Obviously, you'll need to buy this figure to complete Mandroid but besides that Nightshade is a solid figure overall.

Thanks to regular reviewer and fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999, we have a review of a figure that is just starting to pop up at online retailers, Deluxe Class Nightshade, from the Earthspark cartoon! Chuck starts off in Nightshade's robotic owl mode, then shows us their transformation into robot mode. They're a somewhat smaller Deluxe, but they compact from robot mode very well. Let's get on with the review and Chuck's thoughts on Nightshade.

All the Terrans are a must have for me. This has been such a great series, I cannot get enough. I really do hope that Hashtag gets a proper figure too, not just one of those finger things.

"They"?

I thought They were transformers, not transgenders...

Don't you know? Representation is all that matters now. Even when it doesn't.

I just have to come back to this; Earthspark represents some of the similar transformative changes that Beast Wars brought. I hope we get wave after wave of Terran, new characters for the franchise to have forever.

If you’re mad about the characters, about something being unique, about freedom and nonconformity, go watch something else! Earthspark isn’t for you!

Show us where the pronouns hurt you both.

Ya know, it's just a toy. If you want to give it a different gender, you go right ahead and do that.

It would not be possible for me to care less about someone's pronoun choice. I'm already calling most people something they won't like and it has nothing to do with gender ideology nonsense.
