Join us for a special episode featuring quick fire answers to deep questions on the Transformers throughout all continuities. First, we tackle some news, discussing the latest unveiled releases in Transformers Studio Series, including Blackout, Optimus Prime, and Starscream. Additionally we dissect the news of Toys'R'Us's imminent closure as well as the recently announced end of the IDW Transformers and Shared Universe, started in 2005.
