James Roberts is famed for references to "113" throughout his Transformers comic writing on More Than Meets The Eye and Lost Light, but today, for our own episode 113, we're chatting with him about the inspiration for that - #113 of the 1980s Marvel UK Transformers comic and the subsequent story which leads through to #120 and concludes in the 1987 annual!

We're back for another look at individual years of Transformers toys, and today it's all about the 1989 Micromasters! One of the biggest resets in the original line, these mini-marvels didn't scrimp on the fun factor, as evidenced by our enthusiasm in talking about them. But how many does Jason own?

Following the Scramble City combiners of the previous year, the Technobots and Terrorcons arrived in 1987 with a fresh spin on a familiar design. Computron and Abominus have become fan-favourite toys over the years, but which do we think is best?

The early 2000s began a major period of nostalgia for Transformers that has continued ever since, and a significant part of that was the 2002-6 Takara Transformers Collection series, often known as the 'book box' reissues. Today, we take a look at just what made this line of G1 re-releases so magic.

Despite being one of the formative Transformers toy lines of the pre-movie mid-2000s era, it's fair to say that Takara's Robotmasters is now largely forgotten by many collectors. However, a deep dive into this rather odd 2004 line-up may reveal a few gems - and some definite giggles along the way!
