Radio Free Cybertron 976 – Gary Chalk Beats Cancer + Monstructor is REAL

By

This week: The crew kicks off with some genuinely great news: Gary Chalk (the voice of Optimus Primal!) has beaten stage four Hodgkin’s lymphoma and is in full remission. From there it’s all Transformers chaos — the Generation Selects Monstrucker reveal has everyone hyped (Slog’s alt mode is literally just a triceratops standing up, and somehow that’s perfect), while 2026 product listings bring a BotCon-referencing Megazarak redeco, an Earthrise Autobot 3-pack with finally-opaque Datsun plastics, and a Walmart Energon capsule that the crew suspects will be drowning in clear plastic. In-hand photos of the Stranger Things crossover Frequency impress even the hosts who’ve never watched the show. All that and more on this week’s Radio Free Cybertron!
