Merry Christmas! As a present to each other and to the world, Jonathan Alexandratos is here and we're talking about The Transformers! Travel back to Christmas in the 1980s as we talk about the origins, history, and timeline of the franchise, playing with toys, engineering and more! It's an extra-long season finale extravaganza!
