The audio for this December 3, 1999 Radio Free Cybertron is lost. No copy survives in the RFC archive. The original RealAudio file, hosted at knoledge.org, is gone, and a 2014 request for a backup copy went unanswered. What does survive is the show’s original web page. According to that page, the episode ran 25 minutes and 34 seconds and came with a Fanfic Review column.
From the Original Show Page
The page was titled “Radio Free Cybertron December 3, 1999.” Listeners clicked the RFC logo to stream the show in RealPlayer at 28.8 quality. The page listed a running time of 25:34.
Fanfic Review
The show page linked to a Fanfic Review column written by AlexJ33106. It graded two pieces of Transformers fan fiction.
“Tales of the Intermezzo: Name” by Dave Van Domelen, published November 15, 1999, earned an A. The review called it an interesting, involving story with an unusual setting and few characters. It recommended the story to fans frustrated by Beast Machines’ murky continuity.
“Beast Machines Episode 39, Part 2,” a parody by Brian Kilby from November 1999, earned a B-. The reviewer called it hilarious but felt some of the wackier jokes strayed too far from Beast Machines.
The show page linked to Transquake, a Transformers mod for Quake, and to the RFC Link Exchange, which had new graphics that week.
