This week on Radio Free Cybertron: We observe the 19th anniversary of the Dark Glass controversy, and reminisce a bit about the early online fandom. Hasbro sues DC over their infringement of the Bumblebee trademark, we share our perspective. Apparently action has been taken against an online retailer in respect to a third party toy, we unravel that story with the information we have available to us. More statues are on the way. Who's buying these? We're not. Are you? Plus we talk a bit more about the end of the Last Knight's theatrical run, that awesome new Toys Alliance Mega Action Series Megatron, the toys we picked up this week, and more!

This week on Radio Free we're fast approaching Hascon, and Hasbro has offered up tickets at a fairly steep discount to entice prospective con-goers to make some last minute decisions. We're somewhat divided on the Maketoys Galaxy Meteor cancellation that occurred this week. Since announcing NOT Cybertron's Starscream cancellation, they've since stated that they will figure out some way to make the toy available. If you tweeted that you want to #GetMakeToysMade, are you actually going to buy the toy? Bumblebee is filming, and you can be in the film. But do you really want to? All that and more on this week's Radio Free Cybertron!
