The post Repaint Series | Episode 692 appeared first on TransMissions Podcast Network.

With Outpost Argentum behind them, the crew returns to Iacon, escorting the rescued Mini-Cons to safety. The victory is real—but so is the weight it carries. While the city hums on, scars unseen begin to surface. Magnum and Pythagorus retreat into research, piecing together what was taken, what was learned, and what threats may still be moving in the shadows. The Doctrine may be broken, but its ideas didn’t exist in a vacuum—and the data recovered raises unsettling questions about who else might be listening. Meanwhile, Spindrift shares a quiet, deeply personal conversation with Ironhide—one that forces her to confront loss, survival, and what it means to keep going after losing everything that’s been stripped away. Not every battle is fought with weapons, and not every victory feels clean. This episode marks a moment of reflection, recovery, and recalibration—before the next storm inevitably arrives.

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.

Cast:

• Game Master, Narrator, & NPCs (Non-Player Characters) – Michael Ordway
• Magnum and Pythagoras – Matthew G
• Spindrift – Mike M
• Carapace – Patrick Finn
• Kevin Carlson – Rough & Tumble
• Additional Voices – Brandon Ouellette

The post Episode 688 – What Are We Doing? appeared first on TransMissions Podcast Network.

The battle at Outpost Argentum reaches its breaking point as the chaos narrows to a single deadly duel. With the fight raging around them, Spindrift and Sightline finally face each other one on one—skill, patience, and precision deciding who walks away. As the sniper’s advantage fades, the crew rallies, turning the tide against the Doctrine’s enforcers for good. Clinch’s swarm is torn apart, Weldscar is dragged from the acid and destroyed, and the trio’s iron grip on the outpost finally shatters. Victorious but battered, the heroes sift through the wreckage, claiming hard-won spoils and answers that may push them one step closer to Pythagoras—and deeper into the Doctrine’s designs.

The post Episode 686 – They’ve Got The Power(Masters)! appeared first on TransMissions Podcast Network.

The fight at Outpost Argentum grinds on as the crew remains locked in battle with the Doctrine’s enforcers. Clinch breaks apart into a swarming mass, harrying the team from every angle, while Weldscar disappears beneath the surface of the acid pool, striking from below with brutal precision. High above it all, Sightline remains unseen, his shots coming from nowhere and everywhere at once. Pressed on all sides and running out of room to maneuver, the crew struggles to adapt to the trio’s coordinated assault. In the turning tide of the battle, one of the heroes is overwhelmed and goes down, forcing the others to choose between finishing the fight or saving one of their own.

The post Episode 684 – Arch Nemesis appeared first on TransMissions Podcast Network.

The crew pushes deeper into Outpost Argentum and finds themselves in a vast acid-processing chamber, where bubbling corrosive pools churn beneath suspended catwalks, and half-finished Cybertronian bodies are lowered for “purification.” The air burns, the footing is treacherous, and every mistake threatens dissolution. Waiting for them are the Doctrine’s enforcers: Clinch, Weldscar, and Sightline—a coordinated triumvirate engineered to fight as one. As acid geysers erupt and catwalks buckle under fire, the battle becomes a brutal test of positioning, teamwork, and endurance.

The post Episode 682 – I Want The Matrix appeared first on TransMissions Podcast Network.

The infiltration goes violently sideways as the crew stumbles into one of Outpost Argentum’s deadliest internal defenses: a precision laser corridor designed to turn intruders into neatly sorted components. Trapped, divided, and under a rapidly adapting kill-grid, the team must think fast, move faster, and decide who’s willing to risk dismemberment so the mission can continue. As the Doctrine’s cold logic asserts itself, the crew is forced to confront the reality that this facility was never meant to be breached—only survived by those who understand how it thinks. Order demands sacrifice. The lasers agree.

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.

Cast:

• Game Master, Narrator, & NPCs (Non-Player Characters) – Michael Ordway
• Magnum and Pythagoras – Matthew G
• Spindrift – Mike M
• Carapace – Patrick Finn
• Kevin Carlson – Rough & Tumble
• Additional Voices – Brandon Ouellette

The post One Shall Stand… | TransMissions Episode 680 appeared first on TransMissions Podcast Network.

The battle in the Doctrine’s storehouse of constructed bodies reaches its most blasphemous stage yet. As alarms wail and conveyor lines grind to life, the crew fights deeper into a cathedral of false creation—where half-finished Cybertronian forms hang like saints in reliquaries, waiting for stolen minds to give them purpose. Doctrine cultists chant synchronization rites over control consoles, desperately trying to complete their “ascension” before the facility is lost. This isn’t just a fight for survival—it’s a theological brawl. Steel clashes with faith. Synapse meets skepticism. And the crew makes it very clear that they do not accept walk-ins to the congregation. By the end of the episode, the storehouse burns, the Doctrine’s holy work lies in ruins… and the consequences of stopping this “miracle” are only beginning to reveal themselves.

The post Episode 678 – Ball’er Prime appeared first on TransMissions Podcast Network.

The crew pushes deeper into Outpost Argentum, and straight into a nightmare. Beyond the blast doors lies a vast storehouse of constructed Cybertronian bodies: unfinished frames, empty shells, and half-assembled forms hanging from gantries or stacked in silent ranks. These aren’t scrap. They aren’t drones. They’re vessels built for something far worse. As the truth becomes clear, the Doctrine of Steel and Synapse reveals its ambition; a covert army meant to be smuggled into Iacon itself, ready to awaken at a single command and tear the city apart from within. Doctrine cultists swarm the chamber, desperate to protect their work and complete the activation sequence. The crew must fight through the defenders, sabotage the production lines, and stop the ritualized synchronization before the bodies can be claimed by stolen minds and fractured sparks. Steel clashes, gantries collapse, and half-finished constructs twitch toward life as the team races against the clock. Every second counts—because if even one shipment leaves this facility, Iacon may already be lost. The Doctrine thought they were building the future. The crew intends to shut it down—permanently.

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.

Cast:

• Game Master, Narrator, & NPCs (Non-Player Characters) – Michael Ordway
• Magnum and Pythagoras – Matthew G
• Spindrift – Mike M
• Carapace – Patrick Finn
• Rough & Tumble – Kevin Carlson
• Additional Voices – Brandon Ouellette

The post Episode 676 – Blokees Bonanza appeared first on TransMissions Podcast Network.

The infiltration of Outpost Argentum grinds forward as the crew wraps up the last of a brutal battle deep inside the Doctrine’s hidden stronghold. With alarms blaring and reinforcements prowling the halls, the team seizes control of a key security terminal—finally giving them a picture of the outpost’s layout… and the dangers still ahead. But the Doctrine of Steel and Synapse doesn’t give up its secrets easily. To advance toward the upper tiers of the facility, the squad must force their way through a fortified security room guarding access to the surface. When the doors won’t open, the crew does what they do best—makes their own. Explosions, fire, and a whole lot of steel later, the heroes brace themselves as roof access comes within reach. But what waits above Outpost Argentum may be worse than anything beneath it… Pythagoras is still out there. The Doctrine is preparing something. And time is running out.

The post Episode 674 – The TF4K Project Needs You! appeared first on TransMissions Podcast Network.

The infiltration of Outpost Argentum pushes deeper as the team seizes control of a critical security console. With the Doctrine’s monitoring network now laid bare before them, Magnum, Spindrift, Rough, Tumble, Carapace, and Gumshoe begin slicing through encrypted feeds, rerouting patrol paths, and gathering intel on the cult’s inner workings. But subtlety doesn’t last. A wandering squad of Doctrine fanatics blunders into the wrong hallway at the wrong time, forcing the crew into a sudden skirmish amid the flickering lights and blaring alarms of the outpost’s interior. As they tighten their grip on the facility’s systems, the party realizes they’re finally turning the Doctrine’s own stronghold against them—one terminal at a time. Stealth, strategy, and sudden violence collide as the infiltration enters its next phase!

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.

Cast:

• Game Master, Narrator, & NPCs (Non-Player Characters) – Michael Ordway
• Magnum and Pythagoras – Matthew G
• Spindrift – Mike M
• Carapace – Patrick Finn
• Rough & Tumble – Kevin Carlson
• Additional Voices – Brandon Ouellette

The post Episode 672 – Soundwave Superior appeared first on TransMissions Podcast Network.

Deep within Outpost Argentum, the crew of Empire Of Rust uncovers the twisted core of the Doctrine of Steel and Synapse’s operations. Rows of Cybertronian husks hang from gantries, waiting to be filled with artificial minds harvested from the unwilling. As the team creeps through laser grids, melting vats, and whispering corridors of the Doctrine’s factory, they begin to piece together the group’s horrifying goal—perfection through forced convergence of spark and steel. And when the alarms finally sound, it’s not just drones they’ll be fighting, but the Doctrine’s faith itself.

The team takes their first steps into the lion’s den! With Outpost Argentum looming over the edge of the Acid Wastes, Carapace, Magnum, Spindrift, Gumshoe, and newcomers Rough and Tumble begin their infiltration of the Doctrine of Steel and Synapse’s secret base. Security drones, traps, and corrupted sentry minds stand between them and the truth about Pythagorus’s disappearance. Can the crew stay silent long enough to uncover the Doctrine’s purpose—or will the factory itself awaken to swallow them whole?
