Radio Free Cybertron 947 – “A Vast Predatory Horse.”
This week on Radio Free Cybertron: The crew dives into Hasbro’s new Transformers fan vote, where listeners choose a fresh alt mode for one of four classic characters, with results due September 17th. We cover the newly announced $405 (!?!) Predaking, the Missing Link Nemesis Prime, and the latest Age of the Prime reveal. We review Dr. Wu’s Brutality and Slaughter cassettes (plus the winged Rathalus Prime), and share first impressions of the new Studio Series 86 Megatron.

Radio Free Cybertron 945 – “I don’t know anything about it; I’m gonna buy it!”
This week on Radio Free Cybertron: From Titans to Seekers to Beast Wars, the guys dive into the latest Transformers news for the week and San Diego Comic-Con.

We spotlight Quick Strike and Sureshot, and speculating on potential multi-packs with Target Masters. Armada Nemesis Prime, the deluxe convention exclusive, gets mixed reviews due to its deco, lack of trailer, and price point.

We discuss the likes of Blast Off, Brawl, Onslaught, and even Amalgamous Prime—with Mark teasing a possible “4-ish changer.” Plus, first impressions of Deluxe Quintus Prime, thoughts on Razorclaw, Big Convoy’s glowing potential, as well as Studio Series Windcharger and Arachnid.

Finally, we round things out with talk of Titan-class Dinobots, and another Hasbro-Mattel crossover (sorry, Masters of the Universe). All that and more on this jam-packed episode of RFC!
