This week on Radio Free Cybertron: Hasbro’s first quarter results aren’t good, how does that impact fans? Studio Series Thundercracker has a stay of liquidator’s execution by showing up at online retailers. Also on the show, we discuss a really cool looking Tetrajet-style figure from MAAS Toys, a delightfully Trademark infringing third party NOT Roadbuster that is sure to raise the eyebrows of lawyers across the globe. Plus we saw the trailer for Machinima’s Power of the Primes–what did we think? You can probably guess. All that and more on this week’s Radio Free Cybertron!
