This week Matt, Diecast and special guest Eric Crownover are back from a fun-filled trip to TFCon USA in Chicago. They give their first-hand account of all the items that were on display as well as the all the new stuff they brought home with them. That wasn't the only convention in the past week, however, so there are plenty of new Studio Series and Siege reveals to talk about as well. Oh, and it looks like early tracking has the Bumblebee movie tanking upon its release in December. Oh well, at least we're getting some pretty cool looking shoes around the same time. So tunnel your way out from under your TFCon haul and join us for this week on RFC!

What's on TFormers this week?

This week on Radio Free Cybertron, yes Skylynx we're back. And this time no force in the universe can stop us. (Hey, we haven't taken a week off in like five years.) After a week off to rest and recuperate, not even Brian's pseudo-pneumonia is enough to stop us, mostly. On the show we talk about BOTBOTS. Yes, it's like Shopkins that transform, and it's the new hotness. We also talk about the news of Hasbro's potential layoffs and legal woes. We gush a bit more about BIG POWERED, discuss the sold-out Siege preorders from Amazon. All that plus more, on this week's episode of Radio Free Cybertron!

This week: Big Powered, some more talk about Big Powered, and a first in-depth look at Big Powered. Also on the show, we have a great conversation about Big Powered and how it relates to the upcoming Big Powered. Later on, we take a moment to observe Big Powered, and Don says something crazy about Big Powered. Brian gets irritated and calls out Don on Big Powered, Chris says something hurtful to Diecast about Big Powered, and then we all have a nice little aside about Big Powered and how it's going to hurt some of our wallets. All that and Don's microphone on this week's Big Powered edition of Radio Free Big Powered!

We are finally able to get Anthony on to talk about everything Transformers related from NYCC. Ranging from the lack of information on the upcoming Transformers comics, to the time he got to spend seeing the toys in person, Ant gives his impressions on what he saw. We also gauge his anticipation of the upcoming Siege line now that he has seen more of what's to come. All that and get details on the plot to ensure that we make #SeaconsBeforeUnicron a reality. Sorry Diecast.

This week on Radio Free Cybertron, today was the Hasbro preview of upcoming SIEGE toys at NYCC! Did we finally get new Decepticons? Yup. What do we think about what we saw? Don't touch that dial, download and find out.

This week the new Bumblebee trailer is out and it features some Transformers that are a dramatic departure from the film franchise thus far, we discuss what that means! Also on the show, Siege Ultra Magnus is only seven inches tall? Oh no. Brian gushes about The Fish Test, a classic Robots in Disguise (2001) episode that debuted this week seventeen years ago. Oh, and Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee looks great, but we're probably not buying it. All that and more on this week's Radio Free Cybertron!
