On this episode, we’re joined by Ben Harpold and Liz Bayer of CybFest NW as we talk about what you can expect from this year’s convention, we react to the cover image released for the Japanese translation of IDW’s Last Stand of the Wreckers graphic novel, and Optimus Prime makes an appearance at the St. Louis Independence Day parade. All this and much, much more on this episode of TransMissions Alt Mode!
