WTF @ TFW – The TFW2005 Transformers Podcast

While waylaid by some fresh-at-the-time topics like Collaborative dinosaurs and Masterpiece? Video?? Instructions???...the WTF podcasters also discuss ongoing collection focus, the concept of magic modern childhood, and checking in on evergreen aesthetics.

We intended to just make fun of a few goofy bits of transforming robot news, but then Hollywood went and dumped a whole new movie on us, so stay tuned for...both of those things! in this episode of WTF@TFW.

While this Fan First Friday podcast touches on multiple topics Transformers and beyond, it will also teach you why a deckbuilding game is not a trading card game. Timelagged to save you all from Aaron's expensive dice temptations!

There was a day-long Hasbro Fan Fest livestream, which means we have MONTHS to talk about upcoming toys. But we did it at the end of April. Also...someone...got a Unicron.

Absolute professionals talk about a whole ton of SS86 and Kingdom Transformers toys, after a highly professional tangent about how to wedge a very large boat.

To celebrate 600 episodes (if you ignore a couple hundred other ones), Vangelus wants to talk about something that he's pretty sure he didn't get to record a podcast about yet.

The listener question queue receives a demolition charge as this very correctly dated podcast episode blows through a backlog and (finally) clears out a clot in an editor's brain.

Spoilerless thoughts on Earthrise occupy the first...few minutes, before Vangelus and TJ head into straight up spoiler talk for all those who similarly binged the latest netflix robots.

At the end of a very strange year, Vangelus joins Aaron and TJ to say a list of leaks as fast as possible and inquire whether or not they've heard about Dr Egg exploding.

The Grand 2020 What We Got This Week stretches over the entirety of a podcast, split up into thematic segments and filled with Transformers acquisitions.

The mysterious fate of Aaron and the cabin adventure is finally revealed! Will Vangelus ever be the same?

Slamming through a batch of listener questions comes the trio three of Vangelus, Aaron, and TJ ... eee

A slumber-threadbare Vangelus joins Aaron and TJ to look at SS8601-SS8606, SS69 (and our own recently-completed singleton Devastators), and Aaron's belated off-topic extravaganza.

The Transformers TCG officially ended, this summer. WTF@TCG's regular pair meet to exhale in regards to that event, before inhaling to talk about what's next.

Aaron and TJ sit down with Vangelus to talk about Hasbro Pulsecon (before the event), stacks of scattered toy news from the last 5 years of 2020, and a big whack of fresh on-topic What We Got This Week that needed an actual intermission break before we got it started.

Vangelus is once again joined by Aimee to discuss Cyberverse (with a spokenword spoiler disclaimer), but not before we chat a little bit about the TF Nation 2020 virtual experience.

Vangelus, Aaron, and TJ all watched Netflix Siege...and then discussed it! There will be a spoken spoiler disclaimer.

Swooping in like a virtual convention panel, Vangelus is joined by aeronautics professionals Aksmth and Slayershoop to talk about the science of flight when it mixes with the science of transforming robots.

We have so many toys to talk about, and so much pain to kill.

Mazes and Fridays! Numbers and Sequentials! WTF and TFW!

A sealed-envelope toys-in-bags retro special!

In the heat of June, two Canadians reunite to maintain continuity and talk a whole lot about Studio Series Scrapper. NOTE: the entire runtime of the podcast is not 100% about Studio Series Scrapper, and we apologize.

Nobody cares about the contents of a kitchen as much as the podcasters in this episode of a Transformers fan podcast.

We span the chair until Korean transforming robots fell out, and they came with another guest host!

Steaming pizza blowouts and anthropomorphic nutrition ethics sandwich this Transformers fan podcast!

WTF@TFW gets 100% Toronto as the rotating chair swivels straight into a load of hupla. Featuring absolutely not WTF@TCG! Guest-starring a shallow deep dive into the Studio Series Constructicons!

The Grand Earthrise Wave One What We Got This Week is here, and what better way to celebrate the GEWOWWGTW than going on long tangents about stay-at-home cooking!

Toy Fair 2020 is the focus of this episode, in which we fill with hubris that we waited until Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker were revealed, and then forget to actually talk about Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker.

Look, I thought "Snarly" was a good hint for Fangry, but all I saw in the comments was stuff about some Dinobot. Que sera~

Wave 5 spoiler season means Wave 5 card reveals, and we've got one! For this week.

TJ WENT TO DISNEYWORLD! There are also new Masterpieces to talk about. Cinematic Devastation! And a listener question about...butts!

It's time to catch up with WotC's Drew Nolosco about Tidal Wave, Arcana, Titan Masters, Drew's OTHER favourite wave 5 card name, morsels of what's to come, and commemoration of what's been done.

It's a time for knee-based shoulders and purple potatoes in this year of the 21st century 2020.

Post plague, post nasal drip, post the-year-2019...we're all here to talk about Transformers, even if the decade's already collapsed upon us.

With prompts and prods from a good friend, Vangelus recalls his Energon Invitational experience at PAX Unplugged. Thoughts and memories are all quite messy, but built on the foundation of a very good long weekend.

Happy New Year! Happy 2020! Happy Timeless November Recordings Full Of Listener Questions!

Before reading a single discussion thread, Vangelus and Aaron IMMEDIATELY discussed their thoughts on the reveal of the Transformers TCG Energon Edition. Time travel possibly occurs!

Vangelus and TJ do some listener question catch-up as they bask in their culinary expertise.

Vangelus was in Germany! With timely supplementals to work on! And now he's back, so re-live the summer's end as Aaron and TJ join him to look at Unicron's progress and Fan Expo's reveals.

Shortly after discovering the presence of Hasbro's Ran Sun and John Warden at Fan Expo 2019, WTF@TFW's own Chris Vangelus managed to sneak himself a phantom five-minute interview in between scheduled blocks, and asked the most important question of all.

In a post-Gencon haze, we join WotC's Drew Nolosco to talk about that aforementioned Gencon, as well as the upcoming Siege II goodies that are cresting the Tryptorizon.

Nerdy City's Sean Jaffe swings by to talk tabletop RPGing, the first-time TFcon experience, and a very relevant upcoming game system called Commandroids.

Finally, it's time to decompress and debrief on TFcon Toronto 2019. From the unique (and uniquely limited) perspective of people who were on fan panels!
