The Rest is GIANT ROBOTS

Another intermittent delve into our virtual Wildfur mailbag yields some corking questions that really do deserve some answers.

You, our loyal listeners, put us well and truly on the spot with some probing and testing questions (that at least one of us didn't read before we recorded). We answer back on the responsibilities of writer/artist/editor, whether Shiela Cranna is available for comment, and which TRANSFORMERS storylines left you (and us!) wanting more! And what comic book properties we'd love to see adapted for the big and small screen. It's a packed podcast. PLUS, if you're a subscriber, you'll be able to listen to (and watch) us talk upcoming projects, strewing tantalising tidbits like they're going out of fashion! AND, if you have a burning question (or questions) send 'em in! to wildfurproductions@gmail.comWe'll do our best to answer them!And if you want bonus content and to see this as a video a full 5 days before the podcast goes live, why not sign up as a member. Thank you.

We delve (not far) back into our respective workloads again, only a handful of years in fact. But our memories still need a jog!

It's circa 2023 (careers-wise), and there's a whole lot going on that needed digging up... games, TV, conventions, self-publishing, even the odd comic book! We talk about stuff that happened in that time period (and a few TRANSFORMERS games that didn't!), which includes a few notables such as Astrobots, Five Points, Surface & Gecko's Garage. PLUS, if you're a subscriber, you'll be able to listen (and watch) me air my views on Optimus Prime: Awakening, the all-new add-on to Transformers The (Animated) Movie!So come on in and sign up to see all our podcasts with extra content HERE:-)

We're LIVE from TFNation 2026 - complete with audience participation! It's raw, it's wild, it's unscripted... so business as usual really.

Join us as we present RIGR from this year's stellar TFNation fan convention. We unveil the all-new Engine, chat about this year's notable TRANSFORMERS anniversaries, and field a veritable flurry of questions from the wonderful crowd who wandered in expecting James Roberts. It's us as you've never seen us before, unless you were there... or you caught last year's... or...

We pay tribute to the late, great Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, who sadly passed away last month.

This special edition of The Rest is Giant Robots takes a look back at the stellar career of Peter Cullen, assessing the simply massive impact he made on TRANSFORMERS (and its fandom) as a whole. From personal recollections to just gushing admiration for his versatility and larger-than-life persona, we respectfully bow our heads say "Roll Out" one final time to this true legend.

It's a movie special, as we round-up a herd of long, hot summer (emphasis on the 'long') blockbusters and put 'em out to pasture.

We spill the beans on Disclosure Day, bring it home on The Odyssey, and feel all morning-after-ish coming out of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Do these big ticket, and big run-time, blockbusters get short shrift or a long RIGR love letter? Only way to find out is to tune in, and check out.

The vaguely chronological recap of our careers enters 2021, and that strange finding-your-feet period after furloughs and social distancing.

With no Sunak schemes to support us, it was back to working for a living (not that we actually stopped) for both of us, which was a mixture of lockdown-induced creator-owned projects and new stuff, of the live-action TV department, (TRANSFORMERS) computer games. and comic nature. Plus a few strange ones that fall into none of those categories.

We're 50! Another millstone... sorry, milestone is reached, with two top-notch TRANSFORMERS guests to boot. And they said it wouldn't last.

We're joined by writer extraordinaire James Roberts (More Than Meets The Eye, Lost Light) and writer/artist Nick Roche (Last Stand of the Wreckers, More Than Meets The Eye), who take us back to their childhood (in TRANSFORMERS terms anyway), their experiences of TF fandom, and their pro starters for ten. Me, James and Andrew squeeze a few words in here and there, while the rest is Nick Roche.

Our reboot of Wildfur's The Engine: Industrial Strength is back on the table, and we show our hands (a bit) with some teaser chat about the project.

Wildman and Furman - back together! (Were we ever apart?) Our co-created motion comic is getting a fresh coat of paint this year, reimagined somewhat and re-delivered - via Kickstarter - to you, our wonderful audience. We chat about that, our appearance at the upcoming 10th anniversary TFNation, and our bumper-sized, guest-laden 50th RIGR. Can you handle all this in one podcast?

Another wander down movie memory land as we dissect a bunch of movies (all pre-1986) that made a BIG impression on us way back when.

Not for the first time, we examine movies that - we like to think - made us the creators we are today, often (very) subliminally. The lasting and sometimes traumatic cinematic scenes that were etched (seared!) onto our subconscious minds. From A Matter of Life and Death to the Jungle Book, from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to Dirty Harry, these are our origins forged in celluloid.

We lean into the art side of the process this podcast, and turn the clock back to days of yore when pen, pencil and paper were king,

Bristol Board, Sable brushes, Dip pens, Indian Ink, and HB pencils come under scrutiny as, from the dawn of time it feels, we pluck memories of creating comics the old fashioned (occasionally Marvel) way, and discuss the various methods and how things have evolved - and how the fundamentals still remain the same. Plus, we talk a bit about our new creative process on a new collaborative project - whoo-hoo!

We talks scripts... what goes into 'em, an' what doesn't... and delve into the craft of comic books in depth, both individually and collaboratively.

We're going into the deepest, darkest, most arcane corners of what makes a comic book this podcast, drawing a lot on the classic TRANSFORMERS UK epic Target: 2006 (40 this year, don't you know?). Between us, and between this and next episode, we'll be going right back to our earliest work, looking at how our approach to creating comics has changed in some ways... but stayed rigid to the 'rules' in others.

And an apology to Simon from Andrew for totally misjudging him at the end ;-)

We look in on 2020, and you-know-what, as the world locks down but we keep on keeping on... if at somewhat reduced rates of output.

It's a dark time for the world at large, but people still need comics and animated TV shows, right? That's what we hoped, and to a certain extent was borne out, but a lot of our time was filled pursuing our own creative endeavours. Though Battletoads, Kitti Katz, Little Baby Bum (really!), House of Dolmann and more also got a look in.

We continue our retro workload round-up, circa 2018-19, including Transformers '84 and Shane the Chef, and some more... oddball one-offs.

Reimaginations were all the rage, as Transformers '84 delved back into the earliest (Marvel) TRANSFORMERS stories and Titan's Robotech stirred another oldie-but-goodie in new and interesting ways. Meanwhile, our eclectic workload/output also included Horrid Henry, Magnificent Racehorses (no kidding) and a re-airing of Brute Force. When we shake these memory pots you - and we - just never know what's going to drop out.

EP43: SEMPER VIGILIS

That means 'forever vigilant' by the way, which we both are and we discuss, by way of our joint/parallel careers and a large dash of nostalgia.

We're back to our pro timelines this episode, circa 2018/2019, as we wax nostalgic about British comics of yore (and their reinvention as The Vigilant) and The Clangers (no kidding), plus Shane The Chef gets an airing and Marvel Comics hits 80 (allowing Death's Head out of his cupboard once again). Who knew there was so much going on in our careers back then - not us, that's for sure.

Actually, we don't. After all, this is a family-friendly podcast. But we do give our verdict on a bunch of movies and TV, including I Swear.

We've packed in a few more big and small screen watchings since we last vented (um, critiqued). And we swear to tell the whole, if as spoiler-free as possible, truth, and nothing but the truth about... The Housemaid (reprise), Send Help, Sinners, I Swear, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, Wuthering Sh*te (as Andrew so quaintly re-named it) and more. We are running off at the mouth, speaking our mind, and generally letting it all out - uncensored!

We check back in on Transformers (The Animated) Movie, in its 40th anniversary year, and we're still pretty darn impressed.

It's a year of big anniversaries for TRANSFORMERS, and none bigger than the original animated movie. Does it still hold up? Does that 80s metal soundtrack still rock our world? The movie that spawned countless comic sequels is re-released this year, and we travel back in time to our respective first encounters, and how it shaped our craft thereafter. Out of it even came, the honest-to-gosh ORIGIN of The Transformers.

As our (joint and solo) career credits progress into 2016/2017 those robots in disguise still have a lot to say for themselves!

We continue (after a gap) the chronological progression through our joint and respective careers with another couple of years' worth of storyboards, scripts and (editorial) stuff. There was a surprising amount going on in 2016, with screen credits galore (Poldark, Jericho, Shut In, Bear Grylls Young Adventurer) on the one side and TRANSFORMERS-related stuff (Definitive G1 Collection, Earth Wars) on the other. Plus, Kung Fu Panda, To The Death and even a novel!

Once again, we take a sideways step into the world of movies (and a little TV), to offer our humble opinions on the latest crop of cinematic offerings.
We fight a duel with poisoned blades over Hamnet (well, not quite), dress down Downton Abbey The Grand Finale, dust off The Housemaid, blow hot and cold on House of Dynamite, mull over the Holdovers, endlessly dissect One Battle After Another, review Life of Chuck back to front, and sing the praises (?) of The Choral. The rest, as someone once wrote, is silence.

We turn our attention to our much-neglected mailbag, endeavouring to provide meaningful answers (fat chance!) to your burning questions.
It's long overdue trawl through the feedback we rashly suggested you send in (we accept Patreon, social media or via our Wildfur email - wildfurproductions@gmail.com), shining bright, interrogative lights on otherwise dim corners of our minds and memories. We address Andrew's restless drumsticks, the voice of Death's Head, scripting density, the storyboard/comics dynamic and MORE!

We rehash– um, review 2025's high spots (and low blots) and look forward to what's coming up in 2026 for us both, maybe even a 'team-up'.

It's been a year! 2025 gets a thorough shakedown as we consider Kickstarters, signings, live events, and even an award wedged in there somewhere, as well as our respective creative outputs - be it on page or screen. And we look forward to 2026 and what that might hold, not least several anniversaries, conventions and maybe even a new Furman/Wildman collaboration. One thing's for sure, come this time next year, neither of us will remember any of it!
