The crew's exploration is interrupted by a violent confrontation with the three Burrowmaws that have made the ancient Titan's remains their home. Once the creatures are defeated, the crew presses deeper into the forgotten corridors, uncovering chambers untouched since before the Harmonium's oldest histories were written. Then they find something they never expected. A Hot Spot. Thousands upon thousands of unborn Cybertronian sparks drift within a vast chamber, slowly drawing energy from Statera and beginning the impossibly long process of creating new bodies. For the first time, the crew witnesses the ancient process by which Transformers are born, from the living spark of a Titan. Following the ancient systems deeper into Statera, the crew finally reaches the Titan's Spark Chamber. There, suspended within an enormous lattice of ancient machinery, they find the source of everything they've encountered below. Statera's spark still burns. But barely.

What is the Empire Of Rust Podcast?

TransMissions Podcast Network presents: the world's first and only Transformers RPG actual play podcast! Conceived, developed, and run by TransMissions Podcast producer and editor Michael Ordway (@minervion), this podcast combines the tabletop role playing game (RPG) experience (think Dungeons and Dragons) with the setting, universe, and characters of the Transformers into an actual play podcast. Each episode records the gaming sessions as the player characters experience the adventures planned and designed by the game master (GM). The RPG system being used is based on Starfinder, a sci-fi variant of Pathfinder, combined with elements of the Transformers-themed Mechamorphosis d20 system (more info here).

Empire of Rust takes place in the IDW Comics Transformers Universe that ran from 2005 to 2018. It is set at the beginning of the "First Strike" storyline that was published in 2017. But while the starting point is based on the events of the first issue of First Strike - where Earth is being inducted into the Cybertronian Council of Worlds - the story of Empire of Rust will be very different. So if you've read the comics, don't think you know what's going to happen!

The players have all created original Transformer characters to take part in this adventure, but they're sure to encounter some familiar faces in their adventures on Cybertron, and beyond.

Cast:

• Game Master, Narrator, & NPCs (Non-Player Characters) - Michael Ordway
• Magnum and Pythagoras - Matthew G
• Spindrift - Mike M
• Carapace - Patrick Finn
• Kevin Carlson - Rough & Tumble
• Additional Voices - Brandon Ouellette

This week on TransMissions Alt Mode we have all the comic news from NYCC and review Skybounds MASK #5!

On this episode we're talkin' all the reveals from New York Comic Con 2026!

Beyond the ancient lift lies a world forgotten by history. Far beneath the cities, temples, and battlefields of the Harmonium, the crew begins exploring the colossal interior of Statera—an ancient Titan whose body has slumbered beneath the planet for millions of years. Vast halls stretch beyond the reach of their optics, abandoned maintenance chambers remain frozen in time, and impossible machinery stands silent, waiting for commands that will never come. Yet despite the ages, Statera is not entirely lifeless. Something still moves through the forgotten corridors. As the crew ventures deeper into the Titan's labyrinthine interior, they discover that the ancient depths have become home to creatures perfectly adapted to life beneath the world.
