Welcome to the first episode of our new Podcast! In this week's episode, Oddimus Prime sits down with PrimeTime Moff to ask the very important question... what is Iacon?

Join us as we talk about fan gatherings, the convention experience and how a couple of like-minded people getting together to talk about the things they love can become something amazing! Future episodes will focus on several events from the world of Transformers, meet with special guests, interviews and much more!

In our FINAL episode of our 40 year journey, PrimeTime Moff and Oddimus Prime discus the various show movies and comics that have, over the past 40 years, enhanced our enjoyment of this wonderful brand. So whether you are a stalwart G1 cartoon purist, a fan of Beast Wars or if you first got into Transformers via the Michael Bay movies, settle in and listen to our final thought on this 40 year journey!

In the first of 2 episodes to round off our series celebrating 40 years of Transformers, Moff and Oddimus discus their top Transformers Toy lines, Bots and third party offerings. Optimus Prime, Tarn, Fortress Maximus and Gears are among the honoured few! did your favourites make the cut?

In the first of our Transformers 40th Anniversary wrap up episodes we look ahead to what 2025 and beyond have in store for us. Moff and Oddimus look at what we know: Age of the Primes, new Selects, New Crossovers etc. as well as Rumours and some wild speculation! Some say the brand is dying off, but we argue that the best may well be yet to come!

In the FINAL(ish) Episode of our first (mostly) weekly show, PrimeTime Moff and Oddimus Prime look back on the 40th Anniversary year, all of the toys and events that celebrated the legacy of the Transformers Brand. We also pick our top toys of the year. How many of them are Optimus Prime!?! Also, we reflect on Transformers Legacy a toy line that represents every single mainline Western and Japanese Transformers Cartoon as well as several characters from the Comics who have not been toys before!

Including:

• G1
• G2

• Beast Machines
• Headmasters

Oddimus and Moff nearly reach the end of the journey with the Legacy trilogy. For the most part leaving 2024 off (for reasons!) instead, we concentrate on the other 2 years of the trilogy and what else went on in the world of Transformers, including Transformers Earthspark, the Skybound comics, Rise of the Beasts and of course, the Legacy toy lines!

Another Trilogy! 3 more years of the 40 year anniversary and this time Moff and Oddimus discuss the War for Cybertron Trilogy! Complete with it's own Netflix show and Toylines. The Trilogy consisted of Siege, Earthrise and Kingdom. This line brought back some G1 favourites such as Sky Lynx and Jetfire in the new Commander clas as well as new Titans in the form of Scorponok and, for the first time, The Ark. But that's not all as the Biggest Transformer of them all finally gets the release he deserves in the shape of Haslab Unicron! A bumper 3 years if ever there was one! So much stuff that we are bound to have forgotten something!

It's the final stretch! Less than a decade to go and still so much to cover! Oddimus and Moff reach 2015 and the start of the Prime Wars Trilogy! Combiner Wars, Titans Return and Power of the Primes are covered in this episode spanning 4 years, 3 Generations lines, 2 movies (The Last Knight AND Bumblebee!) and new Titan Class figures, including the mighty Devastator! . In the new format, Oddimus and Moff both pick a selection of top bots to discuss, do you think you can guess their picks? Tune in and find out!

PrimeTime Moff and Oddimus Prime hit fast forward and cover 2 years in one episode! Thrilling 30 is upon us and 10 years left in our journey! The Transformers 3oth Anniversary held many delights a Generations line filled with marvellous toys and of course the first ever Titan Class figure! Hard to believe there have been 10 now... So come along and join us as we tackle Age of Extinction, Beast Hunters, Titan Class Metroplex and Thrilling 30!

Moff gets in deep with one of his absolute favourite toons and toy lines, The Toxic Crusaders and Pete gets an education! Not sure it's very Christmassy but I'll allow it!

Moff is joined once again by KiloK, this time for a deep dive into Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles! As every Brit from the 80s know Ninja was a word that was apparently too dangerous for British youngsters so the Hero Turtles were born! Listen on as Moff and KiloK reminisce about this amazing show.

Another bumper year and another huge load of wonderful Transformers Toys! Oddimus Prime and PrimeTime Moff delve into the goody bag of 2009 and pull out some truly amazing bots (and some really duff ones!)

In which we reach the year 2009! Somehow there is already a second Transformers live action with Constructicons, The Fallen and Jetfire thrown into the mix. Along with some questionable stereotypes and an incoherent storyline. Oh and Optimus Prime does what he does best, dies only to be brought back to life shortly after! Join PrimeTime Moff and Oddimus as they delve I deep into 2009 and join us for part 2 where the many, many toys are discussed!

Our 2 part adventure into 2008 concludes with this years toys! Slightly fewer than 2007 but still a mad number of wonderful Transformer toys including many of your favourite characters old and new!

PrimeTime Moff and Oddimus Prime have reached 2008 on their epic journey through the last 40 years of the Transformers. In the space between Movies we are graced with a new Animated show, Transformers Animated. More Teen Titans than G1 but with a charm and reverence of what had come before that some previous incarnations are lacking.

Join PrimeTime Moff and Oddimus as they discuss this game changing year of the franchise! Tune in tomorrow for Part 2: The Toys!

It is the year 2006! A weird milestone in many ways: 20 years since The Transformers The Movie, 10 Years since Beast Wars, the end of the Unicron Trilogy, the start of Classics - a line that would shape The Transformers brand for the next 18 years with no signs of stopping and finally, a small movie called Transformers went into production? Have we missed anything? Probably. Oddimus and Moff get into it in another thrilling episode! So sit back, relax and get ready for 1 hour and 7 minutes of half remembered ill researched nonsense :)

It is the year 2005...

It's the home stretch for the Unicron Trilogy with the final chapter: Transformers Cybertron! Optimus Prime gets wings (again), Megatron becomes the Bat Mobile and Starscream gets embiggened! It's also the first new Soundwave in a while, how fun! Join Moff and Oddimus as the waffle on about the year 2005!

BordersDude returns to discuss his pick of Toon with PrimeTime Moff. This month it's Visionaries! Visionaries was a short lived single season cartoon based on the Hasbro toy line (which lasted about the same amount of time!). See what John and Moff have to say about this sadly neglected piece of geek nostalgia! 

PrimeTime Moff is joined by John, aka Youtube's BordersDude, to chat about all things geeky and cartoony from the 1980s and 90s - a cavalcade of cartoons if you will - which is apparently a Scottish reference!

PrimeTime Moff and Pete from Transformers the Show focus on the 1990's animated Fox Kids X-Men and Spider-Man!

This week in the first of a 2-part Episode 1, we have PrimeTime Moff hang out with Transformers the Show's very own Peter to discuss the toys and toons of their childhood in the 1980s 40 plus years ago! Yes, we are all old now! So settle back for this audio only treat!

This week we have somehow reached the half way point! 20 Years of Transformers!

Somehow Unicron has returned... Well, he will next year, but for now Oddimus and Moff will have to settle with the first wave of Transformers Armada toys as well as the last wave of Transformers Robots in Disguise! We have new iterations of Optimus Prime, Megatron, Optimus Primal even Starscream makes a return! Yet still no Bumblebee... This was also the first year of the Dreamwave comic including the fantastic War Within storyline. So, join us as we discuss this quite eventful year!

In which PrimeTime Moff and Oddimus Prime discuss the first stage of the post Beast Wars era of Transformers. Car Robots, the Japanese line from the year before, comes to the west as Transformers Robots in Disguise!

What are your thoughts on poem spouting Sharks, Megatron's that turn into hands and Optimus Prime fire trucks?

It's Y2K y'all! The Beast Wars are over and it's time to return to Cybertron for Transformers Beast Machines! Beast Machines is devices in the Transformers Fandom, primarily because it tried to do something a bit different whilst still being a direct continuation of Beast Wars (which, in case you haven't' been paying attention, is still in the Transformers Generation One continuity! Beast Machines = G1 in the future!) We have new versions of the Beast Wars cast as well as a new enemy in the Vehicons. Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Black Arachnia and Rattrap return to Cybertron only to find their memories wiped, their friends missing and Megatron is in charge! This year has some truly interesting toys so join Oddimus and Moff as they expose the first Transformers of the new millennium!
