THE REST IS GIANT ROBOTS - A PODCAST THAT'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EAR.

Writer Simon Furman and artist Andrew Wildman go back to the beginning... Charting a 40-year stint in comics, TV animation, games and more, including - of course - a healthy discourse on the rise and fall and rise again of TRANSFORMERS, also now 40 years old.

In a series of roughly chronological, informal chats, Furman and Wildman relive the ups and downs and highs of lows of the creative life, spotlighting key moments in their respective, and joint, careers - many of which, naturally, involve giant, transforming robots.

Nothing is off-limits, as Furman and Wildman delve deep into their (unreliable) memories, presenting a humorous but warts and all story of life inside the comics biz that is still... TO BE CONTINUED.

EP 34: REQUIEM FOR A DREAM

Another abrupt U-turn sees us back at the tail end of 2004, as the Dreamwave era of TRANSFORMERS implodes. But... it never ends!
As TFNation continues to unearth and reconstitute buried (unpublished) treasures from the dying days of Dreamwave, we take a deep dive into those troubled last months of the company's tenure as TRANSFORMERS (comics) license holder to explain why it happened, what it meant to the creators affected, and why the script and art from those unpublished issues is only now seeing the light of day.
