We go cosmic, baby, and creepy, as we dial back the years to Annihilation (for Marvel) and explore the Weird Wild West in Frontier. It's 2005/2006 (or thereabouts) and the feast or famine rule applies to us in different degrees. On the Furman side, there's a veritable flood of work for Marvel, Dynamite and IDW, while on the Wildman side it's more in the way of tumbleweed. That said, Andrew dredges up some forgotten creative endeavours and seeds that will grow into Shane the Chef and Horizon are planted.As promised here are some links to some of the things discussed.WEBTOON HORIZON - tinyurl.com/horizonwebGI JOE SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE - andrewwildman.artSKYBOUND KICKSTARTER - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/skyboundent/transformers-compendium-set?ref=5wenmgFor more stuff, visit wildfur.net

EP017 - ULTIMATE TRANSFORMERS
It's the dawn of the IDW era, and the beginning of what would turn out to be an epic 17-year tenure as publisher of TRANSFORMERS comics. Okay, so the license eluded us (and Titan), but perhaps that was for the best as it turned out. We wind back to the year to 2005, and the humble beginnings of what would go on to become an epochal era of TRANSFORMERS comic publishing. Find out how we both got involved in those formative, lore-laying days, and how Infiltration, Stormbringer and Spotlight: Shockwave came to fruition. We had the ideas, the designs, and it worked!More content and chat at WILDFUR•NET

EP016- ANSWERS ON A PODCAST
More listener/viewer questions send us into a tailspin of umm-ing and aah-ing, as we struggle to sound coherent about stuff we really should know about. Join us as we manhandle insightful queries about... Skybound, characters we'd like to have worked on (but haven't), iterations of TRANSFORMERS we'd like to have dipped our toes into (but failed to do so), the creative process, post-11-page/colour UK TRANSFORMERS stories and what they might have been, and some sure-to-see-us cancelled issues with question-asker gender! Overall, we cope (just about). For more stuff and video and chat take a trip to WILDFUR.NET

EP 15- THE DREAM(WAVE) IS DEAD
As the dust settles on the Dreamwave era of TRANSFORMERS we... reassess (i.e. panic) as we hit another of those pesky but oh-so-predictable lean periods. No one ever said being a comics creative would be easy, and into every career some rain must fall. But, wait, actually, there was a LOT going on in early 2005. And we even dip back into 2004 for some - non-Dreamwave - stuff we forget to even mention in previous podcasts! It's another painstaking trawl through our unreliable memories, as stuff that even surprises us gets an airing. For more stuff and a VideoCast visit wildfur.net

EP14: THERE ARE MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS
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 :-)
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...
