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 entries (or entrées?). 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!

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!

Day 25. Merry Christmas and happy holidays from me and all the new additions to the collection!

Thank you all so much for participating. It was a lot of fun, and I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as last year. We'll hopefully be rolling out a lot of these new aspects (Social Media submissions, featuring our favorites on the main page) into a revamped version of our regular photo challenge next year.
Stay tuned for a special post tomorrow, and thanks again!

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!

Ice skating is better with the ones you love.

KRAMPUS SPRINT

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!"

We then moved on to a favorite aspect of this time of year:
Week 2: Holiday Movies

Bronzewolf
(Comic)

Wait, I'm thtuck. I'm thtuck!!! Help! Wait, where are you going?? Help me! You can't jutht...great.

"Heard someone has stopped believing in Unicron. You better climb aboard."

Kickback on the Hearth!

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

The Santamus Clause (Comic)

...You killed him!

A Major Award

Kurthy

Sigma Magnus

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?"

Bee's Girlfriend (Comic)

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

-Kanrabat-, with a recreation of a French-Canadian holiday film, La Guerre Des Tuques

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. 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.
PART 1
PART 2
PART 3
PART 4
PART 5
PART 6
PART 7

Moving on from that extremely impressive feat, we ventured into...
Cooking!
Let's take a look at your tasty results

Glad you all enjoyed the compilation. It was a lot of work to code and set up, but it's great to see everybody's submissions at once. Really makes you appreciate the effort everybody put in to making my pet project take off. Truly, thank you all.
