It's our first episode covering the acclaimed IDW Transformers series, More Than Meets the Eye, by James Roberts. We discuss the core cast, pacing difficulties, horror monsters, Star Trek away missions, the Worst Decepticons in the World and what Ben believes to be the book's greatest triumph.

For those listening along who have never read the book and are struggling to keep track of character names, check out twitter.com/MALTMTE for a pinned thread of character bios.
