  • Summary


  • THE REST IS GIANT ROBOTS - A PODCAST THAT'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EAR.

    Writer Simon Furman and artist Andrew Wildman go back to the beginning... Charting a 40-year stint in comics, TV animation, games and more, including - of course - a healthy discourse on the rise and fall and rise again of TRANSFORMERS, also now 40 years old.

    In a series of roughly chronological, informal chats, Furman and Wildman relive the ups and downs and highs of lows of the creative life, spotlighting key moments in their respective, and joint, careers - many of which, naturally, involve giant, transforming robots.

    Nothing is off-limits, as Furman and Wildman delve deep into their (unreliable) memories, presenting a humorous but warts and all story of life inside the comics biz that is still... TO BE CONTINUED.

    EP14: THERE ARE MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS
    Feb 8 2025
    As we begin our second half-year of The Rest is Giant Robots, we delve into the virtual mailbag to answer 'some' of your burning questions.

    There's been a huge response from our loyal listenership to our open door policy on asking us, well, anything (though whether we answer absolutely everythingis another matter). And here we lay back on the digital couch and, prompted by your enquires, lay bare the innermost mechanics of our working minds... Which accounts for 2 mins at least! Then we get on with who our favourite TRANSFORMER is!

    More for grabs at WILDFUR.NET. See you there :-)

    EP13 - FALL OF DREAMWAVE
    Jan 25 2025
    All good things come to an end, just some sooner rather than later.
    The catastrophic crash of Dreamwave and MORE!

    The up and down, ins and out, topsy-turvy nature of the comics biz is best highlighted by the meteoric rise and subsequent nosedive of Image offshoot (and TRANSFORMERS comics publisher) Dreamwave, who dreamed big, bought Porsches, then crashed and burned. But what happened after? Now it can be told (a bona fide Rest is Giant Robots exclusive!)

    EP12 - RISE OF DREAMWAVE
    Jan 10 2025
    A new year for the Rest is Giant Robots and a new dig into the archives, excavating the bones of a past publisher of TRANSFORMERS comics.

    We enter the Dreamwave era of Transformers, circa 2002, as an offshoot of Image Comics grabs the hottest license going - before anyone even knew it was hot! We, of course, are dragged into this new flurry of TF comics storytelling, but the road ahead is bumpy to say the least. Part 1 of 2, with a BIG revelation to come in that second instalment!!!
