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.

    EP46: THE ART OF LEAVING OUT
    May 30 2026
    We talks scripts... what goes into 'em, an' what doesn't... and delve into the craft of comic books in depth, both individually and collaboratively.

    We're going into the deepest, darkest, most arcane corners of what makes a comic book this podcast, drawing a lot on the classic TRANSFORMERS UK epic Target: 2006 (40 this year, don't you know?). Between us, and between this and next episode, we'll be going right back to our earliest work, looking at how our approach to creating comics has changed in some ways... but stayed rigid to the 'rules' in others.

    And an apology to Simon from Andrew for totally misjudging him at the end ;-)

    EP45: FURLOUGH
    May 16 2026
    We look in on 2020, and you-know-what, as the world locks down but we keep on keeping on... if at somewhat reduced rates of output.

    It's a dark time for the world at large, but people still need comics and animated TV shows, right? That's what we hoped, and to a certain extent was borne out, but a lot of our time was filled pursuing our own creative endeavours. Though Battletoads, Kitti Katz, Little Baby Bum (really!), House of Dolmann and more also got a look in.

    EP44: SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS
    May 2 2026
    We continue our retro workload round-up, circa 2018-19, including Transformers '84 and Shane the Chef, and some more... oddball one-offs.

    Reimaginations were all the rage, as Transformers '84 delved back into the earliest (Marvel) TRANSFORMERS stories and Titan's Robotech stirred another oldie-but-goodie in new and interesting ways. Meanwhile, our eclectic workload/output also included Horrid Henry, Magnificent Racehorses (no kidding) and a re-airing of Brute Force. When we shake these memory pots you - and we - just never know what's going to drop out.
