Apple Podcasts5Gaming FixxUnited States9 years ago - Best Transformers podcast!
This is the best, first, and only Transformers podcast I listen to! Actually, my favorite wat to watch this is the live recording posted on YouTube Thursday (never seem to catch the live stream Wednesday night). All of the 'casters have unique ideas to present to the fan community, but I relate most to Headmaster Don because he's a few months younger than me! :) Here's to another 20 years in podcasting and Transformers fandom!
Apple Podcasts5Robin Armstrong aka Defcon64United States10 years ago - The original and still the best Transformers Podcast!
RFC should be any Transformers fan's first stop in the world of Transformers Podcasts. The RFC team provides the perfect mix of humor, varied and well informed opinions, bloody cat-attacks and a broad knowledge from decades in the TF collecting hobby.
The recent expansion into "Minicasts" has been a welcome addition and their yearly Toy Fair coverage is comprehensive and thoroughly entertaining.
