Five years ago, producer & host George Sirois released a five-part miniseries on this show, celebrating the 35th anniversary of TransFormers: The Movie.

"'Til All Are One" features Mark Maher and Evan Brooks, two designers so inspired by the 1986 film that they would grow up to work on some of the most intricate and detailed figures in the entire TransFormers toy line: Hasbro's Studio Series.PRODUCER'S NOTE: In addition to a very spirited and fun conversation with Mark and Evan, there are some final thoughts about the film from music composer Vince DiCola, story consultant Flint Dille, and screenwriter Ron Friedman (RIP Ron).

India's next investment boom could be emerging across AI infrastructure, defence and metals. In this episode of The Core Report Special Edition, Abhay Laijawala, MD & Chief Investment Officer, India, Lighthouse Canton, joins financial journalist Govindraj Ethiraj to explain the biggest investment opportunities shaping India's stock market and economy in 2026.From data centres and AI infrastructure to defence manufacturing, copper, silver and aluminium, Laijawala explains why the next investment cycle may look very different from the one investors have just lived through.India may not dominate the semiconductor or memory chip business yet, but Laijawala argues that the country has a significant opportunity in the wider AI infrastructure ecosystem. Transformers, cooling systems, gensets, electrical equipment and data centre infrastructure could become major beneficiaries as India expands from under 2 GW of data centre capacity today towards an estimated 8 to 10 GW over the coming years.The conversation also looks at why defence manufacturing in India could be at the beginning of a multi-year growth cycle. Rising domestic procurement, stronger order books, exports, missiles, munitions, drones and a growing private-sector defence ecosystem are creating new opportunities outside the traditional large-cap universe.The next major investment theme is metals, particularly copper, silver and aluminium. Copper demand is rising with power grids, renewable energy, electric vehicles and data centres, while constrained global supply could create a significant copper shortage. Silver and aluminium could also benefit from the global shift towards electrification.Laijawala also explains why investors are looking beyond Indian equities towards US stocks, European equities, semiconductors and global diversification, and why gold and silver may deserve a larger place in portfolios as concerns around US debt and the dollar grow.Could India's next investment boom be driven by AI, defence and metals rather than the traditional market leaders?Govindraj Ethiraj and Abhay Laijawala also discuss whether India could be entering an economic cycle similar to 2003 and 2004, with stronger industrial growth, rising bank credit, corporate investment and potentially higher earnings growth.Watch the full conversation for Abhay Laijawala's outlook on the India stock market in 2026, AI infrastructure investment, defence manufacturing, copper and silver prices, aluminium, data centres, global equities, portfolio allocation and India's next investment cycle.Chapters:01:24 What Does Lighthouse Canton Actually Do? 02:47 What Wealthy Investors Want Now 03:54 Are Global Investors Still Committed to AI? 06:27 What Does It Mean When Investors Get Flushed Out? 07:06 Why Power and Copper Matter to India's AI Future 10:13 Where Will India's Next Industrial Growth Come From? 11:43 Which Equipment Is on the Approved List? 12:15 Will More Companies Enter This Opportunity? 13:21 How Industry Is Preparing for What's Next 14:11 Can India Capitalise on Rising Copper Demand? 20:16 Where Are India's Next Big Investment Themes? 22:56 Why Mining Could Matter More to Investors 24:15 Where Do Copper, Silver and Aluminium Go From Here? 26:54 How Should Investors Allocate Across Asset Classes? 29:00 Where Are the Next Opportunities in Defence? 32:32 What Are India Inc.'s Earnings Telling Investors? Could India's next investment boom come from AI infrastructure, defence manufacturing and metals? Govindraj Ethiraj and Abhay Laijawala discuss India's stock market outlook for 2026, data centres, AI investment, defence, copper, silver, aluminium and the next investment cycle shaping India's economy.

WSTR Galactic Public Access: Queen Jamilla, Star Wars News, and Convention Rants This episode starts with a deep look at Queen Jamilla, a brief but meaningful Naboo leader in Attack of the Clones, and uses her to explore Naboo politics, democracy, and how Star Wars makes even tiny characters feel important. Todd also covers a few Star Wars news items, then wraps with personal updates on Fortnite, Fan Expo Chicago, and the challenges of crowded convention venues. Key topics Todd explains who Queen Jamilla is A Naboo monarch with less than two minutes of screen time, but enough presence to spark a long character discussion. He walks through her role as Queen Amidala's successor and her place in the prequel-era timeline. Why Queen Jamilla matters despite limited screen time Todd argues that even minor political figures help Star Wars feel like a lived-in galaxy. He connects Jamilla's short appearance to the larger sense of Naboo continuity and political realism. Naboo politics and democratic idealism Jamilla's line about keeping faith in the Republic becomes the core theme of the segment. Todd contrasts her trust in institutions with Amidala's more experienced, harder-earned political perspective. Jamilla's relationship to Padmé Amidala Todd reads Jamilla as someone seeking advice and guidance from a respected predecessor. Their interaction is framed as mutual trust, with Padmé representing experience and Jamilla representing idealism. The threat of war in the background The discussion touches on the growing separatist crisis and the early signs of the Clone Wars. Todd views Jamilla as somewhat sheltered from the galaxy's larger collapse, which shapes her optimism. Naboo's social structure and leadership Todd questions the age and selection of Naboo's queens, noting the youth of both Padmé and Jamilla. He suggests Naboo could have benefited from more integration, especially between humans and Gungans. Why Star Wars includes brief political characters Todd says these characters show that life continues outside the main heroes. He connects this to how the franchise builds scale, realism, and background texture. News of the week: Star Wars: Starfighter Todd covers reporting that the new film was inspired by The Outsiders. He highlights the gritty, loyalty-driven tone and the pairing of a rugged older lead with a younger companion. News of the week: canceled Mandalorian versus Jedi game He reacts to the leaked gameplay and fan disappointment over another canceled Star Wars title. Todd compares it to other scrapped projects and laments how often promising games never release. News of the week: Ewan McGregor wants back in Todd discusses McGregor pitching ideas for more Obi-Wan content while on the set of Ahsoka. He suggests flashback storytelling could be a smart way to bring Obi-Wan into future projects. Cantina Chat: Fortnite and Fan Expo Chicago Todd talks about collecting 118 sprites in Fortnite and enjoying the new season called Override. He also shares a strong opinion that the Rosemont Convention Center is overcrowded and not as good as C2E2.

Transform and roll... well, sort of!This week on The Insanely Dangerous Retropodshow, Dangerous Dave travels back to the toy-filled world of 1984 to revisit the transforming robots that dared to take on Transformers...GoBots!Were they an underrated part of 80s toy history, or were they always destined to live in the shadow of Optimus Prime and Megatron?Dangerous Dave begins by firing up What Happened Way Back When?, revisiting five songs, five movies and five TV shows from 1984, including Ghostbusters, The Terminator, The Karate Kid, Wham!, Van Halen and The Real Ghostbusters. Then Retro Headlines looks back at some of the major stories making news in Britain and America during an unforgettable year.DANGEROUS DEEP DIVE – THE HISTORY OF GOBOTSDave takes an extended look at the origins of GoBots, beginning with Bandai's Japanese Machine Robo toys before Tonka transformed them into the GoBots brand.We remember the heroic Guardians, led by Leader-1, and the evil Renegades, commanded by the brilliantly named Cy-Kill.There are memories of Turbo, Scooter, Small Foot, Crasher and Cop-Tur as Dave explores why the smaller and often cheaper GoBots became such popular pocket-money toys.We also revisit Challenge of the GoBots, the Hanna-Barbera cartoon that attempted to build a universe around the characters, and examine what happened when Transformers arrived and completely changed the transforming-robot battle.Was Transformers genuinely better...Or did superior characters, storytelling and marketing simply leave GoBots behind?DANGEROUS DETOUR – THE GOLDEN AGE OF 80s TOYSWhy were the 1980s so ridiculously good for toys?Dave remembers an era dominated by He-Man, Transformers, MASK, Thundercats, G.I. Joe, Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Visionaries, Bravestarr and, of course, GoBots.It was a time when the cartoon, comic and toy aisle all became part of one enormous childhood universe.BACK IN THE ADSWe're heading back to British television for another classic commercial as Dave remembers the wonderfully bizarre Smash Martians.Why were aliens laughing at humans for peeling potatoes?How did “For Mash Get Smash” become such a memorable slogan?And why do so many people still remember those little metal Martians decades later?RETRO RUMBLE – GOBOTS VS TRANSFORMERSIt's the battle we've been waiting for.GoBots vs Transformers!The two transforming robot giants go head-to-head across toys, characters, cartoons, value for money and pure nostalgia.GoBots put up a surprisingly strong fight...But can Leader-1 and Cy-Kill really defeat Optimus Prime and Megatron?DANGEROUSLY UNDERRATEDDave gives Challenge of the GoBots another chance and argues that the cartoon deserves to be remembered as more than simply “that other transforming robot show.”ONE SEASON WONDERWe also revisit the wonderfully 80s animated series Pole Position, with its high-tech vehicles, crime-solving adventures and connections to the classic arcade game.TOYBOX TIME MACHINEThe Toybox Time Machine opens once again as Dave remembers Voltron and the brilliant idea of taking five robotic lions and combining them into one enormous warrior.And then...It's time for Gaz.GAZ'S RAPID RETRO REVIEW – GOBOTSGaz has heard Dave defending GoBots for most of the episode...And he's having absolutely none of it.GAZ:"GoBots? Sorry, Dange... I didn't like them then and I don't like them now!They were the transforming robots you got when you really wanted Transformers.Leader-1? He's no Optimus Prime.Cy-Kill? He's basically an angry motorbike.And Scooter? Don't even get me started on Scooter.Transformers had Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and Grimlock. GoBots had... well... GoBots.Were the toys cheap? Yes.Were they easy to transform? Yes.But that's because there wasn't much bloody transforming to do!I know you've spent this episode trying to convince everyone that GoBots deserve another chance, Dange, but I'm not buying it.For me... Transformers win every single time.Gaz's Rapid Retro Rating: ⭐⭐ – 2 out of 5"Two stars. And I'm probably being generous. Back to you, Dange!"THE DANGER ZONEAfter Gaz completely destroys them, Dave enters The Danger Zone to mount one final defence of GoBots.They may never have matched Transformers for characters, storytelling or longevity, but Dave argues that history has treated them unfairly.They were affordable.They were fun.They were easy to collect.And for plenty of kids, a GoBot was their first transforming robot.Dave awards the franchise an impressive 27 out of 30 Danger Rating...Even if Gaz would probably like to deduct about twenty points from that score!HALL OF DANGERFinally, despite Gaz's objections, GoBots enter the Hall of Danger for their contribution to the transforming robot craze and their place in 1980s toy history.Love them...Hate them...Or still wish your parents had bought you a Transformer instead...GoBots are part of the story of the 1980s.And that's why they're worth remembering.NEXT TIME...Season 9 continues as Dangerous Dave swaps transforming robots for synthesisers and heads into the incredible catalogue of...PET SHOP BOYSFrom West End Girls and It's a Sin to Always on My Mind, Heart, Being Boring and Go West, we'll explore the history, albums, greatest hits and legacy of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe.The Insanely Dangerous Retropodshow – keeping the greatest decades alive, one dangerously nostalgic episode at a time.

The League had the ultimate pleasure of talking to the “almost famous” geek icon Flint Dille, author of The Gamesmaster: My Life in the '80s Geek Culture Trenches with G.I. Joe, Dungeons & Dragons, and The Transformers as well as the author of our childhoods, and keeper of hidden geek memorabilia. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Transformers The Movie with a remastered episode, we sit down with Flint Dille, author of The Gamesmaster: My Life in the '80s Geek Culture Trenches with G.I. Joe, Dungeons & Dragons, and The Transformers. As a legendary writer and story editor, his work shaped iconic '80s animation including The Transformers, G.I. Joe, Inhumanoids, Visionaries, and The Puppy's Further Adventures, along with penning the screenplay for the 1986 feature film The Transformers: The Movie. Beyond television, he is an accomplished game designer and narrative architect who has contributed to major franchises like Pokemon GO and blockbuster AAA titles alongside former Call of Duty developers. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with industry luminaries such as George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Ray Bradbury, and Gary Gygax, continuing a rich family legacy in pop culture as the grandson of Buck Rogers creator John F. Dille.
We enjoyed our talk with Flint so much, we decided to add a few more minutes for you fans who might be interested in his extensive NFL knowledge. Listen for his take on some of the greatest players of all time, and which Transformers he equated them with while writing Transformers: The Movie. Check out a longer version of the story in Flint's book, The Gamesmaster!
Flint Dille, the writer of Transformers, G.I. Joe, and a host of other great series, returns to help us celebrate the 35th Anniversary of The Five Faces of Darkness, the follow-up to the 1986 Transformers: The Movie.

Devon accepts a challenge issued by Sejohn after the latest taping* prior to this Time Capsule Episode recorded on 3/11/2026 and attempts to share his knowledge on the Old Testament of Transformers lore, including but not limited to Primus, Unicron, and the original thirteen cybertronians. Thank you to Zach from This Toy Makes Me Happy for getting over his distaste at Devon's inaccuracies on the subject and agreeing to record a disclaimer in service of warning others. *This time capsule episode is inspired by an off-hand comment made about The Thirteen Primes in episode 477 of The Say Report, we give a pretty good recap of how and why that lead to this episode but if you would like further context we recommend going back and giving it a listen

Then a contractor walked off with the money on a house renovation, COVID sent his meetings to a screen he wouldn't open, and one lie to a doctor for anxiety pills started a cascade that took almost all of it: Xanax, Adderall, painkillers, alcohol, the marriage, and eventually his kids. This is the whole arc, in his own words — the relapse after years clean, the year he doesn't fully recognize, and the moment that finally turned him around: his nonverbal, severely autistic seven-year-old son, Alfie, climbing over a fence and being found at the grocery store between their two houses, trying to reach his dad. Two days shy of a year clean at this recording, Stephen talks about rebuilding co-parenting with Laura “by the Al-Anon book,” the “wizard school” story he told his daughter, and what it actually took to come back. In this episode: · The dream life — Hans Zimmer's scoring team, and building Laura Clery's following from a spare camera · “I thought I had 10 years. My sponsor pointed out it was really 8.” · The three most dangerous words: “I got this” · Checking into rehab with no next of kin · The son who climbed the fence, and why it was the thing that finally worked · Co-parenting rebuilt “by the Al-Anon book” — boundaries, the restraining order, not robbing someone of their rock bottom · The “wizard school” story · Nine meetings a week, and doing AI animation with his kids now If you or someone you love is struggling, you're not alone.

The Energon Universe isn't slowing down. At San Diego Comic-Con 2026, The Comic Source went inside the Skybound press room for an extended conversation with Robert Kirkman, Void Rivals artist Conor Hughes and Skybound publisher Sean Mackiewicz about the past, present and future of the interconnected universe. Kirkman discusses rebuilding ROM for a new continuity, including the research he did into the character's Marvel history and why he worried ROM's damaged appearance could be interpreted the wrong way. Hughes explains why that damage represents sacrifice and "scars of war," while Mackiewicz details how ROM and M.A.S.K. became part of Skybound's larger Energon plans. The conversations also reveal that Matt Trakker was included in Skybound's original pitch to Hasbro and was once intended to appear in Duke before Clutch ultimately filled that role. Mackiewicz and Kirkman both tease major developments beginning in M.A.S.K. #3, while Kirkman discusses the Energon Universe animated project currently in development and his hope that the comics may eventually reach their own version of the story represented by 1986's The Transformers: The Movie. And when asked whether there's a limit to how far the Energon Universe can expand, Mackiewicz's answer is simple: "no limits." 00:00 – Kirkman Teases the Energon Universe's Transformers: The Movie 00:12 – Sean Mackiewicz on M.A.S.K., ROM & Expanding Energon 02:40 – How ROM & M.A.S.K.

What happens when our pursuit of hidden truth begins replacing the pursuit of Christ?In Episode 91 of JT's Mix Tape, JT, Brian, and Aaron discuss the growing divisions within the Christian conspiracy community, the dangers of making conspiracies part of our identity, and why discernment requires humility—not just information.Topics include: • Why arguments rarely change people's minds • Pride, identity, and cognitive dissonance • The responsibility of Christian content creators • Why conspiracy research should always point back to Jesus • Trump's bizarre White House/Rick & Morty-style UFO video • Why governments flood society with confusion • The psychology behind modern clown symbolism • Ancient dragons, demons, and cultural programming • Mercy, justice, and protecting the innocent * Robots, AI & Hidden Watcher TechnologyNo matter how fascinating history, conspiracies, or hidden knowledge may be, none of it matters if it doesn't ultimately bring us closer to Christ.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFPatreon: https://patreon.com/JT_Follows_JC?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/JT's Hats: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/hats/Coaching Program: https://www.echoesoftruthnetwork.com/joinTelegram Group: https://t.me/jtsmixtapeNew Trucker Hat: https://www.shopmmca.com/shop/p/jt-follows-jc-hat
