ElevenLabs is licensing Hasbro’s Transformers characters for commercial AI voice use — and the RFC crew is not entirely sold on it.

Hasbro dropped Studio Series 86 Cyclonus, Blitzwing, and Cliffjumper at CCXP — and the RFC crew has some feelings. Cyclonus gets new legs and a new head and basically earns unanimous approval. Cliffjumper… does not. Plus Iron Studios’ $350 Soundwave statue, a massive New Age Junkion wave, Brian’s surprise acquisition, and what should happen at episode 1,000?

Radio Free Cybertron 981 – “Twelve Steps (For the Arms)”

By

The crew digs into a packed news week — Beast Wars 30th Anniversary Predacon Multipack, G2 Stunticons in glorious UV-painted detail, a Vector Prime that turns into a DeLorean, and Blokees Defenders going deep into Beast Wars Neo territory. Plus: John DeLuna’s mother-in-law accidentally scored a $1 1984 Ravage and Rumble that John turned into AFA-graded gold, Don cannot transform Breakaway (12 steps just for the arms), and Brian makes a pilgrimage to a Greensboro, NC toy store and comes home with sealed G2 goods.

By

Episode 978 of Radio Free Cybertron is here — Brian, Matt, Don, Rob, and Diecast dig into the vintage auction result that broke the internet (and maybe someone’s bank accounts), then pivot to TakaraTomy’s pricey Overgear Ironhide and Blackout, the Transformers x U.S. Soccer crossover figure nobody asked for, but some of us are buying anyway. Plus: Burger King is doing Transformers kids meal toys, and Brian — owner of a complete 1985 McDonald’s Happy Meal set AND a Checker’s Rhinox— is not playing around about it.
