We're already on to Transformersmas 2017 Week 3! It seems like the first half of the month flew by, and we're getting extremely close to Christmas already. Last week we challenged you to celebrate your favorite Holiday Movies with your Transformers, with some truly incredible results. Some of the best submissions we've gotten in the two years of doing this challenge. (Check out our favorites down below, and enter your Transformersmas photos below to be featured in next week's announcement article! Make sure to look over our announcement article for all the rules of the challenge!)

But anyway, we're moving on to Week 3. This week's theme is...

Cooking!

This time of year is synonymous with cooking and baking, so have your Transformers whip up something in the kitchen and post the photos below! Of course, you can go the traditional route of Christmas Cookies, Fruit Cake, and other classic Christmas recipes but this is also a great time to start showing off your culture's traditions if you or your family don't celebrate Christmas! Show us traditional dishes from your religion/culture, as well!

Now let's feature our favorite submissions from the past week!

THE BOARDS

Sigma Magnus with The Getaway Discovery (Comic)

...

Then, finally, truly in a league all its own:

This is by far the most amazing entry we've received this year, and probably the best we've received in the history of Transformersmas. Fires_of_inferno takes us through the trials and tribulations of Ebenezer Starscrooge, in this 7-part, 79 installment (practically shot-for-shot) remake of the classic Christmas tale. It's unbelievable, and to do it justice, we'll link to the seven parts below. Extremely good job, Fires_of_inferno, you win this week.

Day 19! This is probably going to be my only entry this week because I don't do a lot of actual cooking. Maybe I'll do another, I dunno.

Cooking at Christmas is a fun activity! The smells, the preparations, the spices, the rushing, the over-boiling, the in-the-way children, the annoying cat, the eyes peering over your shoulder, the unbearable heat.

.......

WATCHING!

Watching Christmas cooking is a fun activity! There we go. Cooking shows abound with holiday specials every year, and every year I watch a few. One that you should ALL check out, is called Christmas Cooking with Mrs. Brown. It's on youtube, go watch it! In the mean time, it turns out that Swerve wanted to put on a holiday cooking special of his own!

Me and Swerve were seriously the same person while I was doing this. "How can I make this stupid pun work?"

Strongarm was like the other part of my mind. "All this crap just to get a pun off... What's wrong with you?"

In the end, the only person's time I wasted was my own!

I'll just show myself out.

And just like That, we've reached the final week of the 2017 Seibertron Transformersmas Holiday Photo Challenge! It's not over yet, though! We do have a few final days before Christmas, and that means we need a new theme! Last week we covered cooking, and got some great entriee. Be sure to check out our favorite submissions of the past week down below!

This week, however, we turn our attention to...

Holiday Traditions!

Share what you and your family (and your Transformers) do for the holidays! Decorating a tree, hanging stockings, leaving cookies out for Santa, the possibilities are quite endless! Also, if you celebrate a different holiday other than Christmas, this is the perfect time to share your Traditions, as well! Lighting a Menorah or an Advent wreath, or spinning a dreidel. Non-Christmas winter holidays are not only allowed but encouraged!
Pick four winter holiday Traditions to share with your TFs, and post them once a day down below! You can also share your submissions on social media with #Transformersmas.
We can't wait to see what you come up with for the final theme of Transformersmas!

And now, our favorite submissions from the past week:

THE BOARDS:

CowboyNinjaD with A New Eggnog Recipe

Fires_of_Inferno with Winter Pun-derland

Va'al with Cooking with Blot

INSTAGRAM

Keelo1027 with Say Fa La La!

Remember to post your entries below to be featured in our final Transformersmas Article!

I'm down at my parent's place, so I don't have my set-up to do a comic again, but I do at least have this!

Gnaw really enjoyed his advent calendar this year! Why would you bother with chocolate when LEGO is not only fun, bug a lot crunchier too!

Merry Christmas everyone!

A new year signals the end of the Transformersmas Holiday photography challenge for 2017. We received some truly great entries this year, and as a thank you for your participation, we're featuring every single one of them for all to see! Please enjoy the images below, and thank you again for sending in your photos!

We started with
Week 1: Winter Sports
and got a wide array of entries, from Ice Skating to Knitting. Take a look!

Fires_of_Inferno

Alright, spheroid projectiles ready...

Why fly, when it's snowing and you have built-in skis like Whirl does!?

Sergeant Chaos: "You giant idiot! You're a snowmobile, you're not supposed to crash! You could have snapped my neck, you goalie-looking pile of rusty metal shavings!"

Icepick: "I could STILL snap your neck if you don't shut your filthy vocal processor, fleshling!"

Snowmobiling is fun!

Christmas shopping is definitely a winter sport! I mean, if you go shopping properly instead of just buying everything online! Either way, try not to get trampled!

I'm running out of real winter sports by now. However, you know what should be considered a winter sport? EVERYTHING INVOLVING CHRISTMAS! Not only are there things I am going to be doing, there's so much I WANT to do! Festivals, sales, shopping, checking out lights, building snow people, summon Cthulhu, taking pictures, bake cookies, watch holiday movies! That's a lot for one person to do! In the end you feel like you've run a marathon, but it's all worth it, and it's all fun!

Mirage finds ice skating to be extremely easy. He doesn't understand how people think it's so hard... (It gets less complicated when you have built in skates!)

And in my most lackluster, rushed day yet, Hot Rod finds out that his favorite hobby is not as easy in the winter months

Fixit tries ice sculpting! "It's a dolphin! I have to use these Kills-Thrills-Drills for something!"

Kickback on the Hearth!

"There it is, the Griswold family Christmas Tree."

...You killed him!

A Major Award

Kurthy

By the Pit, it's cold out here...where did Chromedome and Rewind go?

Where is MY stocking?!

D-Maximus_Prime

Let it go, let it go;
Where the heck did Bulkhead go?"

Okay, you Minis, ready to sing your song?
I'll say we are.
Yeah!
Let's sing it now!

Va'al

Keelo1027

Fires_of_Inferno (Comic)

This was the most impressive and intricate entry (or series of entries) we received this year. We sung the praises of Fire's impressive Christmas Carol recreation, (Naming it the winner of the Holiday Movie theme) and we'll continue to sing them now:

This is by far the most amazing entry we've received this year, and probably the best we've received in the history of Transformersmas. Fires_of_inferno takes us through the trials and tribulations of Ebenezer Starscrooge, in this 7-part, 79 installment (practically shot-for-shot) remake of the classic Christmas tale.
