Radio Free Cybertron
Radio Free Cybertron is the world’s first Transformers podcast — and the world’s first toy and action figure podcast — launched in October 1999. Now approaching episode 1,000, RFC covers Transformers toy news, reviews, and collector discussion every week, with a crew of longtime fans who’ve been in the hobby for decades.
Each episode digs into the latest Transformers toy reveals, pre-orders, in-hand reviews, and releases — from Hasbro’s Studio Series and Age of the Primes to TakaraTomy’s Masterpiece and Missing Link lines, third-party figures, and vintage collecting. We track the toy industry, follow the deals, debate the prices, and share what we’re actually buying. If it transforms, we’re talking about it.
Hosted by Brian Kilby. New episodes every week at tfradio.net.
Over 25 years. Nearly 1,000 episodes. Still rolling out.
