Join the Fans Traumas team (and a special guest???) for a review of our time at TFNation 2026.

Strap in for a long haul episode as we talk about the highs and further highs of a great time in Birmingham.

Find out why we're all tired, poorer, but happier.

Plus we talk about YOUR Fan Traumas.

This is going to be juicy!

In this special pre-TFNation episode the traumatised fans get hyped up for Europe's largest Transformers convention before diving deep into the possibilities of Crossover Transformers. What worked, like peanut butter and chocolate and what upset everyone by being the ham and pineapple of the Transformers franchise? Join us as we take a look at what happens when two franchises are forced together and speculate about the wonderful and terrible hybrids we would create, given half the chance.

Every Fan has their Trauma. What's yours?

In this episode the Traumatised Fans get connected with Combiners. Are our opinions out on a limb, or do we have a core consensus? Maybe our personalities will clash and prevent us from unlocking the enigma of combination robots? Whatever happens, we're going to form a gestalt to sit down and really get to grips with why Combining Robots forms such an important part of the Transformers Franchise.

With the news and views of the moment.

The Unicron Trilogy kicked off in style with Armada, or did it?

Join the Fans Traumas team as we delve into the cartoon, the toys and the comic book from the perspective of those who remember it the first time and those who don't remember what they had for breakfast.

It's oldies versus young'uns, G1 versus Unicron Trilogy as we unpack a divisive part of the franchise. Find out what we love, what we hate and what traumatised us.

Join the Traumatised Fans: Jay, Ralph, Phil and Dan with special guest Matthew as they talk about scale in collecting: Where does it come from? Who thinks about it (too much)? What's it for? How is it so irritating? Why do we care?

Plus news and chat from the world of Transformers Collecting.

Every Fan has their Trauma. What's yours?

Join Jay, Phil, Dan and Ralph as we take a look at the add-ons, extensions, replacements and shiny things you can buy or make yourself to bring the bling to your bots.

Also with news and a look forward to the upcoming TFNation 2026.

Every Fan has their Traumas, why not share ours?

SPOILER ALERT for the current (2024-2026) run of Transfomers Comics. You have been warned!

In this Universe our entitlement knows no bounds as we tell industry legends how we'd do their job, if only we knew how to do it. We get lyrical on narratives and discuss which awful Decepticon would make the best Autobot. Plus the latest news.

PLEASE NOTE: A technical issue with Jay's recording meant that a lot of re-recording had to happen in the editing process which has left this episode sounding very sub-standard and awkward. Please bear with and we promise to be better next time.

In this Chirstmassy episode we complain about expensive gifts we wouldn't buy, but wouldn't say no to.

We are allowed out into the real world for the opening day of Nerd Base Colchester and chase Synergy Cosplay's the Flash.

We get nostalgic for proper shops with proper staff and Ralph gets his microphone sorted out! (For better or worse)

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from Fans Traumas, Robots with these guys.
