Since its debut in 2018, Studio Series has become a hugely popular collector line for Transformers. But as the roster has expanded beyond a live-action movie focus to incorporate 1986 characters and plenty more besides, what exactly does the line represent now and where might we see it go in the future? This episode began life as a commission by our patron, Ross - thanks for suggesting it!

We received a patron suggestion to tackle the subject of 'memorable Transformers comic panels', and we liked it so much that we're here for a full episode! The results are predictably gory and horrific... with one particular suggestion setting Liam's teeth on edge! Thanks to Duggertron for the idea.

Thanks to an idea from our Patron, Andy Gold, today we're having a bit of fun and putting together choices for what we think could be an amazing new wave of Transformers Generations toys! We're taking it in turns to choose characters for 4 Deluxes, 2 Voyagers, plus a Leader, Commander and Titan class effort, but can we all stick to no G1?

Following our recent Patreon poll to decide a new episode topic, we're back for a 6th round of Transformers hidden gems, where each of the team nominate a toy from over the years that maybe deserved a bit more limelight and attention than it received at the time. But can they all stick to non-G1?

James Roberts is famed for references to "113" throughout his Transformers comic writing on More Than Meets The Eye and Lost Light, but today, for our own episode 113, we're chatting with him about the inspiration for that - #113 of the 1980s Marvel UK Transformers comic and the subsequent story which leads through to #120 and concludes in the 1987 annual!

Partsforming is one of the most controversial aspects of Transformers design, despite being a staple of the toys since the very beginning back in the '80s! However, with more modern fare often erring on the side of integrating as many pieces as possible, we sit and talk through why partsforming is such a tricky topic to begin with.

TFNation has been and gone for another year, so the (very tired!) team sit down to assess the many highs and the hauls of Europe's largest Transformers convention! But can Liam make it through the chat?

After Micromasters, we're back to explore more of Transformers 1989, and this time, it's all about the Pretenders! They may be weird & wonderful now, but what was the mood for these strange toys back in the day? This topic was chosen by our Patrons.

We're back for more Transformers Missing Link chat as we pore over the latest round of reveals & speculation to assess what might be on the way soon! Ultra Magnus, Galvatron... Metroplex?! Could it be true? Oh, and we brought our own Missing Link, Maz, back for the discussion.
