  • EP 56: ANSWERING BACK
    Another intermittent delve into our virtual Wildfur mailbag yields some corking questions that really do deserve some answers.

    You, our loyal listeners, put us well and truly on the spot with some probing and testing questions (that at least one of us didn't read before we recorded). We answer back on the responsibilities of writer/artist/editor, whether Shiela Cranna is available for comment, and which TRANSFORMERS storylines left you (and us!) wanting more! And what comic book properties we'd love to see adapted for the big and small screen. It's a packed podcast. PLUS, if you're a subscriber, you'll be able to listen to (and watch) us talk upcoming projects, strewing tantalising tidbits like they're going out of fashion! AND, if you have a burning question (or questions) send 'em in! to [email protected]'ll do our best to answer them!And if you want bonus content and to see this as a video a full 5 days before the podcast goes live, why not sign up as a member.

  • EP 55: CAREER ARCHAEOLOGY
    We delve (not far) back into our respective workloads again, only a handful of years in fact. But our memories still need a jog!

    It's circa 2023 (careers-wise), and there's a whole lot going on that needed digging up... games, TV, conventions, self-publishing, even the odd comic book! We talk about stuff that happened in that time period (and a few TRANSFORMERS games that didn't!), which includes a few notables such as Astrobots, Five Points, Surface & Gecko's Garage. PLUS, if you're a subscriber, you'll be able to listen (and watch) me air my views on Optimus Prime: Awakening, the all-new add-on to Transformers The (Animated) Movie!So come on in and sign up to see all our podcasts with extra content HERE :-)

  • EP53: LIVE! at TF Nation, Birmingham, UK
    We're LIVE from TFNation 2026 - complete with audience participation!  It's raw, it's wild, it's unscripted... so business as usual really.

    Join us as we present RIGR from this year's stellar TFNation fan convention. We unveil the all-new Engine, chat about this year's notable TRANSFORMERS anniversaries, and field a veritable flurry of questions from the wonderful crowd who wandered in expecting James Roberts. It's us as you've never seen us before, unless you were there... or you caught last year's... or...

  • EP 54: TRANSFORM... AND ROLL OUT
    We pay tribute to the late, great Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, who sadly passed away last month. 

    This special edition of The Rest is Giant Robots takes a look back at the stellar career of Peter Cullen, assessing the simply massive impact he made on TRANSFORMERS (and its fandom) as a whole. From personal recollections to just gushing admiration for his versatility and larger-than-life persona, we respectfully bow our heads say "Roll Out" one final time to this true legend.

  • EP 52: BLOCKBUSTER BUSTERS
    It's a movie special, as we round-up a herd of long, hot summer (emphasis on the 'long') blockbusters and put 'em out to pasture.

    We spill the beans on Disclosure Day, bring it home on The Odyssey, and feel all morning-after-ish coming out of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Do these big ticket, and big run-time, blockbusters get short shrift or a long RIGR love letter? Only way to find out is to tune in, and check out.

  • EP 51: THE MORNING AFTER THE LOCKDOWN BEFORE
    The vaguely chronological recap of our careers enters 2021, and that strange finding-your-feet period after furloughs and social distancing.

    With no Sunak schemes to support us, it was back to working for a living (not that we actually stopped) for both of us, which was a mixture of lockdown-induced creator-owned projects and new stuff, of the live-action TV department, (TRANSFORMERS) computer games. and comic nature. Plus a few strange ones that fall into none of those categories.

  • EP50: LAST STAND OF THE FECKERS
    We're 50! Another millstone... sorry, milestone is reached, with two top-notch TRANSFORMERS guests to boot. And they said it wouldn't last.

    We're joined by writer extraordinaire James Roberts (More Than Meets The Eye, Lost Light) and writer/artist Nick Roche (Last Stand of the Wreckers, More Than Meets The Eye), who take us back to their childhood (in TRANSFORMERS terms anyway), their experiences of TF fandom, and their pro starters for ten. Me, James and Andrew squeeze a few words in here and there, while the rest is Nick Roche.

  • EP49: INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH
    Our reboot of Wildfur's The Engine: Industrial Strength is back on the table, and we show our hands (a bit) with some teaser chat about the project.

    Wildman and Furman - back together! (Were we ever apart?) Our co-created motion comic is getting a fresh coat of paint this year, reimagined somewhat and re-delivered - via Kickstarter - to you, our wonderful audience. We chat about that, our appearance at the upcoming 10th anniversary TFNation, and our bumper-sized, guest-laden 50th RIGR. Can you handle all this in one podcast?

  • EP48: THE MOVIES THAT MADE US
    Another wander down movie memory land as we dissect a bunch of movies (all pre-1986) that made a BIG impression on us way back when.

    Not for the first time, we examine movies that - we like to think - made us the creators we are today, often (very) subliminally. The lasting and sometimes traumatic cinematic scenes that were etched (seared!) onto our subconscious minds. From A Matter of Life and Death to the Jungle Book, from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to Dirty Harry, these are our origins forged in celluloid.

  • EP47: HOW TO DRAW COMICS THE WILDMAN WAY

    We lean into the art side of the process this podcast, and turn the clock back to days of yore when pen, pencil and paper were king,

    Bristol Board, Sable brushes, Dip pens, Indian Ink, and HB pencils come under scrutiny as, from the dawn of time it feels, we pluck memories of creating comics the old fashioned (occasionally Marvel) way, and discuss the various methods and how things have evolved - and how the fundamentals still remain the same. Plus, we talk a bit about our new creative process on a new collaborative project - whoo-hoo!
