The fourth mini episode of TFABC, just a brief check in to let you know that the movie comics first episode has been recorded and is going to be a hefty editing job...Which I should be working on instead of this, so that's what I'm going to do!

Hello again Autobuddies and Deceptichums, though the Target: 2006 super cut also came out today, I still felt I wanted to do something new as a sign of life, and to let you know how things are progressing. There wasn't so much to talk about, Transformers wise, so I threw in some recommendations of albums I've been enjoying this past week, along with some waffle about j-pop! Enjoy and sit tight, the Transformers the Movie comics are coming soon, promise!

Did you know that there was a prequel story to Transformers the Movie, published in the Marvel U.K. Transformers comics in 1986!? Target 2006 is an awesome story that teases and builds up to the events of the movie, but would have been something that U.S fans wouldn't even have been aware existed until it was reprinted much later.This is the full story of Target 2006, in which Transformers from the future travel back to 2006 and Autobots on Cybertron begin their major counter offensive against the Decepticons.00:00:50 - Intro00:00:50 - What is Transformers AutoBook Club?00:02:00 - Transformers AutoBook Club intro00:02:36 - Target: 2006 prologue00:26:50 - Target: 2006 part 100:43:15 - Target: 2006 part 200:59:01 - Target: 2006 part 301:15:23 - Target: 2006 part 401:34:55 - Target: 2006 part 501:55:15 - Cybertron: The Middle Years! 01:59:43 - Target: 2006 part 602:20:17 - Target: 2006 part 702:39:16 - Target: 2006 part 802:52:37 - Target: 2006 part 903:14:09 - Target: 2006 epilogue 03:36:32 - Closing thoughts03:38:54 - What's next on Transformers AutoBook Club?03:40:28 - Discord and how to support AFABC

A second mini episode, just to say hello and update you on the progress and timeline of the upcoming return of TFABC to the Transformers comics. To pad out the episode a bit, I debut the new theme song I made for TFABC and give you a look at the Transformers TCG cards I bought!We'll return to the comics in...Most likely two more weeks, but until then, please enjoy this filler episode and bare with me!#transformers #optimusprime #megatron #transformerscomics

A more casual mini episode this week with no comic issue covered, but progress updates on how the next episodes are coming along, some Transformers news, and then, just for fun, some music I've been listening to and some games I've been playing lately!

On August 26th, 2026, Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime died. I pondered why his death in particular weighed heavily on my mind and heart, and it wasn't just because I was a fan.

Bah Weep Graaagnah Wheep Ni Ni Bong! Welcome back to Transformers AutoBook club, a weekly video and podcast series where we read and deep dive into one issue or story per week from Marvel's Transformers comics! This week we're finishing off an absolute gem of a story, with parts 3 and 4 of "In The National Interest!" Something of a neat and tidy ending so far as Joy, Rick and Tony are concerned...unless...

Welcome back to Transformers AutoBook club, a weekly video and podcast series where we read and deep dive into one issue or story per week from Marvel's Transformers comics! We're reading the first two parts of a four part story this week, which for my money, is far and away Furman's best to date!

Welcome back to Transformers AutoBook club, a weekly video and podcast series where we read and deep dive into one issue or story per week from Marvel's Transformers comics! This week it's a prose story pulled from the Transformers 1986 annual, written by an amazing writer, whose name I was surprised to see attached to this story once I'd finished reading it.
