Reviews For WTF @ TFW – The TFW2005 Transformers Podcast

I’ve been listening to WTF@TFW from its very first episode, when I was a scruffy kid riding the bus to college in the ancient days of the split teams, Gogdog’s Boss Coffee and people always thinking Seth was mad about something. The current team (Vangelus, TJomega and Aksmth) have been talking Transformers for us for a long time, and they’ve remained just as entertaining all these years later. I can’t even begin to calculate how many hours of entertainment they’ve provided over hundreds and hundreds of episodes. They’ve talked me into buying a lot of plastic robots and instilled a love of Boss Coffee I don’t think I’ll ever shake. Thank you guys for all the work you and An Army Of Bees put into this podcast, you’re my go-to transformers podcast.

I can't complain even once about these guys! Granted, leveling out the audio on some of the more insane screaming can get annoying, but then again I'm never listening with headphones so my ear drums have no risk of breaking and bleeding. Great to listen to when I'm working on Cosplay as well! Keep up the good work.

I love this podcast! It’s my absolute favorite!

I listen to quite a few different Transformers podcasts, and while they are all good and enjoyable, WTF@TFW is the best! I enjoy the upbeat and optimistic attitude Vangelus gives the show. Many TF podcasts are hosted by people who are just so critical of everything to do with Hasbro and Transformers. So much so that you begin to question why they even bother calling themselves TF fans, let alone take the time to produce a podcast on the subject. I never doubt Vangelus’s love and devotion to the great and vast mythology that is Transformers. I also enjoy TJ and Aaron, but Seth is the best! He’s my kind of dude! I just want to say thanks to Vangelus and crew for an outstanding podcast! Thanks guys!!!!

Vangelus is great, Seth is great, TJ doesn't add much, and Aaron is just the worst. Stick to the odd numbered episodes!

They really need to start editing this podcast. There are a lot of awkward pauses that make it sound like the hosts are bored or they don’t know what to say next. Plus the guy who isn’t Vangelus is not as charismatic. He doesn’t seem like he’s having fun most of the time, whereas Vangelus is always fun to listen to. Overall I’d say if you’re a Transformers fan (which if you’re not then why are you here?) still give this podcast a listen. Keep up the good work guys!

I'm a long time TFW2005 member and just recently started listening to these fellas. Great listen and time passer when at work.

I've been listening since 2009 and I find this to be the best Transformers podcast. Host Vangelus is well-versed in podcast production and entertaining. His guest hosts are real fans who provide great counterpoint.

There are 2-3 other podcasts for all things transformers related out there that are much more worth your time. If you enjoy hearing about the hosts other interests not related to the subject, then this might be for you. I subscribed for a while but got tired of the 15 minute rants about "x" game that I've never heard of or "x" TV show or ect ect ect. This is a podcast for a transformers related website that usually spends less that 50% of the typical overly long run time actually talking about transformers. A pity, and waste of time. Plus the hosts kinda sound like Sesame Street characters.

If you like anything to do with Transformers, you will enjoy this show

Very entertaining and informative!

Been a long time listener and not only are they my favorite podcast, but they introduced me to podcasts in general! Always great to listen to and highly recommended for fans of robots

Has good transformers new and info. A fun listen.

Entertaining!!

Highly detailed info, Funny, and entertaining!! The only TF podcast you should ever listen too!!!

great work fellas. dont stop and dont change!!

Great show guys. I enjoy listening to it every week. Let GogDog host more. :)

Hands down this podcast blows the competition out of the water. Always light hearted entertaining and informative. There is definitely a dynamic that cannot be forced with this group. So do yourself a favor sit back listen and enjoy the fun that is the TFW crew.

Title says it all -Aerros1

A nice mix of info and comedy. The guys here will make you feel right at home with the geeky friends you wish you had. Always a big win.

Long time listener of the show and would recommend.

I've been listening to this podcast since somewhere in the early teens episodes, and still go to these guys as THE source for TF news and entertainment. Great podcast, although Vangelus can get a little cute about his 3rd party product coverage.

I'd like to start off with the only real negative point I have but in fairness is a complete nitpick: in terms of the on-topic content it feels that at times there could be some expansion on some topics, or even just outright having any discussion on certain topics that might have been glanced over. While I do wish that could be improved on, there's not really a way to efficiently do either of those things, and implementation of something like that would basically be trying to fix something that isn't broken- there just isn't a point. There's a reason that this podcast has over 260 episodes to date: It's the best Transformers podcast in existence, by far. The three-man crew per episode (Occasionally four-man) gives the show enough variation between hosts without becoming too chaotic or hectic, and the overall production qualities on this show are outstanding and well executed. The TFW crew does an amazing job making this show every week, and has turned what could have been just edited together Skype conversations into an enjoyable and well-crafted piece of podcasting. To anyone who has given up on this show during the first year run, I highly recommend coming back as the show has clearly gone a long way. The discussions are fairly in-depth on the subjects that are brought up, with serious (and sometimes quite long) conversations making the show a welcome listen for anyone that needs to either catch up on general Transformers news or just loves the brand. If you run across a topic or a conversation that you don't particularly care for (or if you're like me and come back to continue listening where you left off) the editor of the show has also added chapter markings that you can shuffle through on either iTunes or an .m4a compatible MP3 player. Overall, the show is definitely the king of the jungle in terms of Transformers podcasts, and it rightfully takes the throne with in-depth conversations, great humor and spectacular editing work. 260 releases down, and here's hoping for 260 more. -secretcode P.S.: Vangelus is a casual Beyblader. He just won't admit to being a bearing altering brand-bandwagoning casual.

Wonderful podcast. Really enjoying the Primetime episodes.

I look forward to every new episode!

I always enjoy listening to the podcast. Looking forward to the 4 hour long dotm review

I'll show you unleashed!

Guy below me is a Idiot this is the best Transformers Podcast!

I've listened to about six of these podcasts, and they're just plain awful. Vangelus is the only one with any kind of personality, but he gets old real fast. Never heard anybody so in love with their own voice. The other two guys are just....ugh. One talks in a continually monotone voice, and the other sounds like he has a perpetual cold. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Seriously, I feel like I'm coming down with a cold just by listening to him. Like awkward silences? This podcast is full of 'em. Vangelus' co-hosts apparently don't get that dead air on a podcast is like the worst thing you could possibly do. Not sure if it's cuz they're slow-witted, or just unfunny, but they seem to find themselves unable to respond to Vangelus' comments half the time. You can almost hear the crickets. Also, the conversations just get waaaay too nerdy sometimes - and I consider myself a geek, so that's saying something. Seriously, they once had a 15+ minute conversation about some stupid little flaw on a Perceptor toy. After five minutes, I was thinking to myself "OK, we got it, move on please", but it just kept going, and going, and going. These guys got the passion, for sure, but their execution of this podcast is just beyond poor. Tighten it up guys. Trim the fat. Think on your feet. Don't dwell on inane topics for eons. The show should be entertaining and insightful, not sloppy and sleep-inducing.

But the "fixed" portion of 127 was unbearable to listen to. Otherwise, keep on Trukin' WTF@TFW!

This is a noise that tells you about robot-men. There is a collection of talking mouths that is diverse as it is wide. They always talk of subjects that are about information of the robot-men. After a while, it does end and begin anew following seven suns. It is a noise for sure.

I've been listening to this podcast for about more than half a year now and I gotta say I've been enjoying listening to these guys talk about one of my favorite subjects for that time.

The personalities of the podcasters is what truly helps make this one of most entertaining TF podcasts. On topic, fun, funny and well made. I'm always happy to catch each episode. Aka Katamari Prime @ tfw2005.

WTF @ TFW is quite possibly the best Transformers podcast worth listening to. The guys behind it are all real fun to listen to, they know what they are talking about, and there is plenty of off-topic banter that makes the podcast quite an entertaining listen, I highly suggest that all Transfans check this podcast out! You won't regret it!

The best TF podcast there is. Period.

Great podcast guys love the knoldge of transformers

Despite my waning interest in the TF line overall since the advent of the movie, I can always depend on you guys for an entertaining show. And if you ever decide to start some kind of general Comic Book podcast, count me in! *hint*hint*

one of the best podcast i have heard i really enjoy the squabbling between vange1us and tjomega thanks you guys for doing such a great job

This podcast has wonderful insight into the universe of transformers, with much humor. I couldn't stop laughing through the entire podcast.

First off, I must say that nothing will ever replace the late, great TFWIRe. That said, WTF@TFW is pretty darn close. All the hosts have a distinct and entertaning attitude, and the added touches of pre-recorded disclaimers and such as well as chapter markings with images show a tremendous effort by the one and only Vangelus. There were some episodes that were almost there, but episode 74's What We Got This Week segment sealed this podcast's fate as one of the best. I won't spil it for those who haven't listened, but let's just say you have to listen closely. So I raise my glass to these guys, and here's hoping the fire keeps burning as long as the world keeps turning. Unlike TFWIRe.

You guys do a fantastic job. Easily the best podcast I've subscribed to, keep on keeping on.

I began listening to the podcast about a two weeks ago and I'm loving it. Keep up the good work guys!

Great Show!!!!!!!!!! Have been listening since it began it keeps getting better and better!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a member of the TFW2005 boards (mykamusprime) and I saw that there was podcast but they never interested me at all! But one day I sat down and finally listened to episode one. I got hooked BAD! I listened to the rest of the podcasts back to back to back while at work and it took me about a month but am now caught up. Keep up the awesomeness! "PELVIS FIRST!!!"

Awesome podcast! great mix of News, Reviews, Opinions, and Humor! one of the best mixes you can have in a podcast! I've been a listener since the First episod! Great casting great A and B teams with Awesome Personalities. you guys are just a great group of personalities. Fan for life

if you're into transformers, you should be into this podcast. it's fantastic. buncha dudes talkin about robots and having a good time. got a problem? DEAL WITH IT. 5 stars.

i've been listening to this podcast for a while now .An I love it. it keeps me looking forward to whatever weekday it comes out. keep it up guys

This is a great podcast for those of us who grew up in the G1 era and even newcomers to the Transformers experiance. They cover info from Botcom to the latest movie news. I've been listening to thier show for many weeks now, and they keep the show on track and on topic unlike some of the other podcasts I've subscribed too (no silly gigglefests). These guys are are very likeable and have a real chemistry together. They also have a segment on what they've bought this week which is very fun, they go out and shop like the rest of us and check out the new Transformers toys. I highly recomend this podcast. The guys are mature and easy to associate with as real people like the rest of us. Keep up the good work guys.
