Deep beneath the surface of the Harmonium, the crew has finally reached the heart of Statera and discovered a Titan who is still alive, but only barely. With the Spark Chamber damaged and its vital systems deliberately sabotaged, the crew sets to work repairing what was broken and restoring the flow of energon to Statera’s massive green spark. Ancient conduits are reconnected, damaged systems are brought back online, and piece by piece, the Titan’s life support systems begin to awaken. But this isn’t simply a repair job. The deeper the crew works, the more obvious it becomes that the damage was intentional. Someone didn’t merely abandon Statera. Someone went to extraordinary lengths to ensure the ancient Titan would remain cut off from its own spark. And as the final connection is restored, for the first time in thousands of years, the Titan’s spark burns with something approaching its former strength.

What is the Empire Of Rust Podcast?
TransMissions Podcast Network presents: the world’s first and only Transformers RPG actual play podcast! Conceived, developed, and run by TransMissions Podcast producer and editor Michael Ordway (@minervion), this podcast combines the tabletop role playing game (RPG) experience (think Dungeons and Dragons) with the setting, universe, and characters of the Transformers into an actual play podcast. Each episode records the gaming sessions as the player characters experience the adventures planned and designed by the game master (GM). The RPG system being used is based on Starfinder, a sci-fi variant of Pathfinder, combined with elements of the Transformers-themed Mechamorphosis d20 system (more info here).
Empire of Rust takes place in the IDW Comics Transformers Universe that ran from 2005 to 2018. It is set at the beginning of the “First Strike” storyline that was published in 2017. But while the starting point is based on the events of the first issue of First Strike – where Earth is being inducted into the Cybertronian Council of Worlds – the story of Empire of Rust will be very different. So if you’ve read the comics, don’t think you know what’s going to happen!
The players have all created original Transformer characters to take part in this adventure, but they’re sure to encounter some familiar faces in their adventures on Cybertron, and beyond.
