WTF @ TFW – The TFW2005 Transformers Podcast

Who's ready for a Swamp-Tappin' good time? Join Vangelus and Aaron with a (long-delayed) listener question-heavy episode of WTF @ TFW!

Nearly five hours of podcast lay ahead of you, so don't waste time reading the description. Aaron returns from GenCon, TJ encounters some BotCon toy and Vangelus does some horrid Google searches! There! Go! Listen.

Welcome to WTF @ TFW, the Official Diaclone Podcast! We've got just a ton of those "Transformers" toys to talk about this week, but don't you worry. We have at LEAST ten minutes of Diaclone content to talk about this week before Vangelus, TJ and Aaron do a complete nosedive into a very familiar trading card game rabbit hole.

In this midst of this Completely Uneventful Year, we finally have our first proper podcast of 2025! Don't feel dishwasher lukewarm about it and keep your tips going forward, our usual trio is here and ready to fill your earholes for nearly four hours of toys. We've got all the Primes, Construction Vehicles and expensive laser sticks you could possibly want.

LIVE on location from the surprisingly rainy streets of Burbank, the WTF @ TFW crew is here for a special TFCON LA 2025 episode of the podcast! Join us as Vangelus sits down with an exhausted Aaron, TJ and Bees as the show winds down and collapses both around and with them.

With Vangelus all by his lonesome for this episode of WTF @ TFW? I'm not sure exactly how well this is goi- Wait, do you hear that? Bah Gawd, that's Seth Buzzard's music! I mean if he's gonna show up, we might as well catch up and see how he's been over the last five years.

Commander up, everyone! The toy hauls are heavy and hard in this episode of WTF @ TFW! Go full Hulk Brain! Fight some people on Reddit! Do some vague third thing! Look, do you want this episode to actually come out, or do you want me spending more time brainstorming a description?

Continuing our proud tradition of releasing an episode about a movie after the movie has already hit streaming, the WTF @ TFW crew is here to talk to you about Transformers: One!

After an incredibly busy last half of the year, We dust off the podcast and bring you a recording from the long far off time of September 2024. Things have been hectic for our TFW podcast crew but while Aaron continues to spread the Diaclone infection to us all? TJ fails to achieve the ka-clack! Vangelus shows us his detritus patina! Dragons! Turtles! Bisons! Buffalo! There's a lot of toy to get through in this nearly four hour episode of WTF @ TFW!

The contagion has reached it's climax, and we are all now inside the Vortex of Jank. As our sole survivor, Faith Healer Vangelus learns the secret of the Seasaurus... blissfully unaware that Aaron has spread the Diaclone Madness to TJ and the total runtime of this nearly four hour episode of WTF @ TFW.

Supplementals are back, with the return of CONVENTION PREP. Join Vangelus and Aaron as they become your guides for preparing for TFCon Toronto 2024 and more. Did you know sometimes we can make podcasts that aren't three hours long and about Diaclone? It's true! And sometimes those short podcasts contain some precious information within!

From the depths of space comes the Transformers: One trailer... and like maybe 12 minutes of actual discussion! Instead? TJ makes a poorly-timed promise while Vangelus tries and bait Aaron out from the Pandora's Box he opened last episode. Will he ever escape from the grasp of Diaclone, or will he drag someone else into the abyss with him? Find out as the Diaclone Saga of WTF@TFW Continues!

As the Eclipse comes and goes, Vangelus and TJ bear witness to an event only hinted at in the spreadsheets of yore: Aaron has finally fallen down the darkest of rabbit holes with no way to come out. At least he's able to record a couple of podcast episodes from down there.

We don't need John Cena anymore, folks! As Vangelus becomes the newest champion of the world of Lao Gan Ma, Aaron enters the incredible world of Garbage Disposal repair while TJ's continuing adventure into the world of Brave has him going face-to-face with the King himself.

Vangelus is trapped within a mind palace of Ross headcanons this week, so it's up to TJ and Aaron to keep the ship afloat. Join us on this episode of WTF @ TFW as we talk about things that could have been, conspiracies, SUPERBOWLS and a post-Detolf trip to IKEA.

The year may have just begun, but there's hauls to be had. There's just... so many toys out there- both real and fictional -and the WTF @ TFW crew is here to talk about them.

The powers that be have informed me that despite my love of the term "Droop Snoot", I'm not allowed to just have the description of this episode be the words "Droop Snoot" repeated over and over again. The lack of ability to spam "Droop Snoot" on the front page wasn't a decision of Vangelus', who particularly enjoys the words "Droop Snoot". The "Droop Snoot" discussion was specifically the cause of "Droop Snoot" expert Aaron, who brought the "Droop Snoot" to the table, and the constant use of the words "Droop Snoot" was not impeded by TJ this month either. Droop Snoot.

Now it's our turn! First we'll play "TJ Returns from TFCon Orlando!" from my hand! This allows us to play "Aaron: The Non-Chiral" directly from our deck... but that's not all! After playing both of those cards, we reveal our face-down cards: "Vangelus, The Everwatching" and "The Neverending GoBots Rabbit Hole!" These two cards will work together, along with the rest of the field, to create a new episode of WTF @ TFW. I end my turn.

There's one simple running thread on this Spoopy-time episode of WTF@TFW: Things. Are. Big. Aaron's encounter with a City Commander? Big. TJ's new gorilla friend? Big. Vangelus' obsession with the term "Man Juice"? Too big to go in this episode description. Thankfully, you have an entire episode of WTF@TFW to grasp how biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig things truly are.

Smack up your foreheads, and raid a Mandarake or seven- it's time to join Christopher Internet, Beleaguered Engineer, and Kenny Omega (not that one) for some LEGALLY DISTINCT PODCASTING.
