TransMissions Podcast - Everything Transformers!

TransMissions is a podcast network primarily about the Transformers franchise, but we also branch out into other related topics. On Wednesdays we have new episodes of TransMissions, all about the toy side of the Transformers franchise and on Fridays you can listen to new episodes of Alt Mode, with comic reviews and the latest news in Transformers comics and other media. TransMissions Extra! is a show we release whenever there’s a new one and covers non-Transformers topics. Finally, Declassified is a monthly show that’s exclusive to our Patreon supporters where we have guests on and go deep on a single topic.

Empire Of Rust 134 - Four Lords And A Monocracy 04/28/2025

Empire Of Rust 134 - Four Lords And A Monocracy The diplomatic dance continues as Carapace, Sweet Spot, Magnum, and Spindrift push forward in their negotiations with The Quartet, the rulers of the Harmonium. Convincing a single leader is one thing, but swaying an entire council—especially one deeply entrenched in their own caste-driven ideology—is a challenge unlike any other. With Cybertron’s future on the line, the team must navigate the shifting tides of politics, power, and hidden agendas. Can they present a compelling case for an alliance, or will the Harmonium’s elite see Cybertron as more trouble than it’s worth? And just how deep do the fractures within the Quartet run? Tensions rise, alliances are tested, and the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance in this high-stakes episode of Empire of Rust! We want to hear your feedback!
