This week on Radio Free Cybertron, the crew digs into the surprise return of McDonald’s McChangeables, which are bigger, sturdier, and more satisfying than anyone expected. We break down new Transformers reveals, including MPG-17 Style-Gen Optimus Prime, preview Blokees Wheels Series 2, and react to upcoming kits like AMK Pro Optimus Primal. Along the way, Brian catches up on recent pickups while literally snowed in, and the guys discuss the gloriousness that is One Shall Stand Optimus Prime, which is really just a stealth release of Optimus Prime from Dark Awakening. Fast food robots, big Primes, and collector catch-ups—just another week in Cybertron.
