#61: Transformers Missing Link Reaction
How do Transformers fans respond to mysterious new toy reveals that are yet to be confirmed? The recent Missing Link Optimus Prime (Convoy) announcement from Takara Tomy could be the most significant collector-aimed TF product in the last two decades, but before it was all official, we had a chat about our reactions to blurry unconfirmed toy reveals!

#60: Transformers 1987
We're back for another stop on the tour through each year of the classic Transformers toy line! 1987 was rather appropriately a year of significant change for the robots in disguise, with 'blockier' toys and new gimmicks such as Headmasters and Targetmasters. Some may even say it's one of the best years ever... perhaps even on this podcast!

#57: Why Transformers?
There are no doubt moments where every toy collector is asked by their friends or family that eternal question: why? Why collect toys to begin with? And why is it Transformers that appeals so much, both now and back when you were little? Today we're getting a bit philosophical and attempting to answer all that and more.

Customer Reviews
Nostalgia-laden and very informative
It is entirely the fault of this show that my shelf is full again 😉
Awesome toy podcast
I found this brilliant podcast via some rather cool Transformers photos on Instagram, and I’m currently tearing my way through all the episodes.
It’s a fantastic podcast on (mainly) Transformers and other toy lines, and I feel I’ve been waiting for a podcast like this for ages. I’ve learnt a lot already from the hosts, who are knowledgable and have a great chemistry with each other.
Even episodes on subjects I thought I wasn’t so interested in have been surprisingly great.
Well worth a listen - highly recommended!
A smashing bunch of lads
Having spent the last couple of decades dipping in and out of the TF fandom this is now my main connection to the hobby. This pod came out of the blocks as a both extremely polished and comfortingly familiar.
I have to listen in chunks as it’s a lengthy beast, but it’s like being amongst friends listening. Also nice to hear a fan lead podcast where the hosts give each other space to talk, without either bombast or talking over each other.
Gwan yerselves.
