Retro Robot Radio show - Third party Transformer news

[mignash]

Okay, just for fun, I figure I'd share episodes of the Youtube show I do each week. It's the weekly news about the third party Transformer development news. In case you were unaware, lots of fans have started companies that make their own Transformers toys that are not licensed by Hasbro, mostly people making the toys they dream Hasbro would make, but don't.

Very interesting.  Had no idea that there were so many third-party Transformer creations, but now that I think about it, I can't say that I'm surprised at all
