The Transformers Podcast
This week on Radio Free Cybertron: We observe the 19th anniversary of the Dark Glass controversy, and reminisce a bit about the early online fandom. Hasbro sues DC over their infringement of the Bumblebee trademark, we share our perspective. Apparently action has been taken against an online retailer in respect to a third party toy,…
This week on Radio Free we’re fast approaching Hascon, and Hasbro has offered up tickets at a fairly steep discount to entice prospective con-goers to make some last minute decisions. We’re somewhat divided on the Maketoys Galaxy Meteor cancellation that occurred this week. Since announcing NOT Cybertron’s Starscream cancellation, they’ve since stated that they will…
On There Goes My Money: Guess what went up for Preorder AFTER Takara-Tomy’s Overlord? If you guessed Hasbro’s Overlord, well, yeah. That’s it, actually.

On There Goes My Money: Did you miss out on Generations Metroplex and are willing to spend a lot of money for it? Well, you’re in luck! That, this week’s pre-orders, and more on There Goes My Money!
This week on RFC: The recent Hasbro Press and Investor presentation hinted at a new Transformers series coming in 2018. We dig into that and let you know what to expect. We get our first look at Takara Tomy’s Overlord, and it’s oddly underwhelming. We also talk about the upcoming Masterpiece Targetmaster Hot Rod and…
