This week on TransMissions we take a look at the 40th anniversary of the Transformers The Movie Marvel Comic adaptation, and we've got some more guest announcements as TFcon Toronto is right around the corner!

In this episode we've got updates on recent Takara toy reveals from last week, BotBots are making a comeback in surprise calendar form, and rumor has it another dream Transformers crossover is coming true, hopefully it's not a nightmare!

After being scattered across the void, the crew finally reunites in the wreckage field orbiting Harmonium space. Bruised, battered, and running on dwindling supplies, they pull themselves—and the surviving ambassadors—back from disaster long enough to take stock of the situation. With no ship, limited resources, and no clear way home, the crew is forced to improvise a descent plan while deciding where they stand in a conflict that may reshape the balance of power across Cybertron. For the first time since arriving in Harmonium space, survival is no longer enough. Now they have to choose what comes next.

We want to hear your feedback! Post a comment here or email feedback for Empire Of Rust directly to [email protected]!

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

Special Thanks:

• Teletraan 1 Outro - Brandon Ouellette
