EP 54: TRANSFORM... AND ROLL OUT

A random listener question (keep 'em coming) prompts a whole podcast on our NYC (and Marvel Comics) misadventures in 80s and 90s.We delve into our mailbag, and our (patently unreliable memories) to revisit our first (and subsequent) visits to the Big Apple and the offices of Marvel US. What times! We were young and dumb and generally living life to the full (sometimes too full!), but when we hit town it was nothing if not memorable. Join us as we reveal the good, the bad, and the somewhat stoned secrets of those formative comics years. APOLOGIES, to our faithful subscribers. Due to a technical hitch our usual video edition did not record, but there's still an 'extended cut' of the audio we will make (exclusively) available to 'prime' members.Thank you for listening to The Rest is Giant Robots.

The small screen demands our attention, as we assess the crop of televisual treats (or otherwise) we've rounded up for review.Did Lanterns light our darkest hour? Did Silo plumb new depths of insight? Was East of Eden moving in the right direction for us? Is Widow's Bay a destination worth checking out? Are Reacher/Neagley worth investigating? And is Severance a cut above the rest? Warning: you may or may not be any clearer on these questions after listening. PLUS, if you're a subscriber, you'll also be able to listen to (and watch) us talk about the convention circuit, and some of our travel plans for 2027.   AND, if you have a burning question (or questions) send 'em in! We'll do our best to answer them!Correspondence to [email protected] you for listening to The Rest is Giant Robots.

Another intermittent delve into our virtual Wildfur mailbag yields some corking questions that really do deserve some answers.You, our loyal listeners, put us well and truly on the spot with some probing and testing questions (that at least one of us didn't read before we recorded). We answer back on the responsibilities of writer/artist/editor, whether Shiela Cranna is available for comment, and which TRANSFORMERS storylines left you (and us!) wanting more! And what comic book properties we'd love to see adapted for the big and small screen. It's a packed podcast. PLUS, if you're a subscriber, you'll be able to listen to (and watch) us talk upcoming projects, strewing tantalising tidbits like they're going out of fashion!

We delve (not far) back into our respective workloads again, only a handful of years in fact. But our memories still need a jog!It's circa 2023 (careers-wise), and there's a whole lot going on that needed digging up... games, TV, conventions, self-publishing, even the odd comic book! We talk about stuff that happened in that time period (and a few TRANSFORMERS games that didn't!), which includes a few notables such as Astrobots, Five Points, Surface & Gecko's Garage. PLUS, if you're a subscriber, you'll be able to listen (and watch) me air my views on Optimus Prime: Awakening, the all-new add-on to Transformers The (Animated) Movie!So come on in and sign up to see all our podcasts with extra content HERE :-)LINKS:-To The Death - Rex and Rule.

We pay tribute to the late, great Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, who sadly passed away last month. This special edition of The Rest is Giant Robots takes a look back at the stellar career of Peter Cullen, assessing the simply massive impact he made on TRANSFORMERS (and its fandom) as a whole. From personal recollections to just gushing admiration for his versatility and larger-than-life persona, we respectfully bow our heads say "Roll Out" one final time to this true legend.For more info and content, visit us at WILDFUR.NETThank you for listening to The Rest is Giant Robots.

It's a movie special, as we round-up a herd of long, hot summer (emphasis on the 'long') blockbusters and put 'em out to pasture.We spill the beans on Disclosure Day, bring it home on The Odyssey, and feel all morning-after-ish coming out of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Do these big ticket, and big run-time, blockbusters get short shrift or a long RIGR love letter? Only way to find out is to tune in, and check out.For bonus material and the Videcast, visit WILDFUR.NETThank you for listening to The Rest is Giant Robots.

The vaguely chronological recap of our careers enters 2021, and that strange finding-your-feet period after furloughs and social distancing.With no Sunak schemes to support us, it was back to working for a living (not that we actually stopped) for both of us, which was a mixture of lockdown-induced creator-owned projects and new stuff, of the live-action TV department, (TRANSFORMERS) computer games. and comic nature. Plus a few strange ones that fall into none of those categories.Useful linksDetails of the sadly cancelled TRANSFORMERS REACTIVATE gameMassive PublishingTo The Death: Rex & RuleMore stuff at wildfur.netThank you for listening to The Rest is Giant Robots.

We're 50! Another millstone... sorry, milestone is reached, with two top-notch TRANSFORMERS guests to boot. And they said it wouldn't last.We're joined by writer extraordinaire James Roberts (More Than Meets The Eye, Lost Light) and writer/artist Nick Roche (Last Stand of the Wreckers, More Than Meets The Eye), who take us back to their childhood (in TRANSFORMERS terms anyway), their experiences of TF fandom, and their pro starters for ten. Me, James and Andrew squeeze a few words in here and there, while the rest is Nick Roche.Want more?...Enquiries about Generation Mechs by James Roberts can be directed to [email protected] out the Nick Roche Webstore thingy at https://nickrocheart.bigcartel.com/And you can follow Nick on Bluesky! @NickRoche https://bsky.app/profile/nickroche.bsky.socialAnd as always, more stuff at WILDFUR.NETThank you for listening to The Rest is Giant Robots.

Our reboot of Wildfur's The Engine: Industrial Strength is back on the table, and we show our hands (a bit) with some teaser chat about the project.Wildman and Furman - back together! (Were we ever apart?) Our co-created motion comic is getting a fresh coat of paint this year, reimagined somewhat and re-delivered - via Kickstarter - to you, our wonderful audience. We chat about that, our appearance at the upcoming 10th anniversary TFNation, and our bumper-sized, guest-laden 50th RIGR. Can you handle all this in one podcast?For the podcast as a video plus extra content, visit WILDFUR•NETThank you for listening to The Rest is Giant Robots.
