Things go quiet in the recharge chamber… a little too quiet. When Pythagoras vanishes in the middle of the night, the crew springs into action, chasing shadows across the darker alleys of Iacon. Magnum calls in a favor from an old contact: the elusive and paranoid information broker Wiretap. But secrets aren’t free—and Wiretap has a job only the Empire Of Rust crew can pull off: clear out a violent turf gang squatting on his data channel. As fists fly and plasma bolts spark, a new ally steps into the fray—welcome Kevin Carlson, our newest player, and the mystery they bring to the table. Hold onto your schematics… the hunt for Pythagoras begins.

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, Pythagoras, and Gumshoe – Matthew G
  • Spindrift – Mike M
  • Carapace – Patrick Finn
  • Sweet Spot – Adam Atchue
  • Rough & Tumble – Kevin Carlson
  • Additional Voices – Brandon Ouellette

Special Thanks:

  • Teletraan 1 Outro – Brandon Ouellette
