Sixo is a well-known toy photographer and YouTuber who some say owns All of Transformers. Famed for his legendary bag of Pretender hats and his embarrassing dad jokes, as the relatively organised member of the group, he has to keep everyone else in line with his endless array of spreadsheets.

Liam, aka Toybox Soapbox, aka The Tatman can surprise you with an unexpected reference to pretty much any long-forgotten pop culture property of the last 40 years. With a cheeky grin and an unparalleled passion for utter tat, his appreciation of all things niche and retro is matched only by his love for his dog, Jesse. And hash browns.

In his own words, Jason is \"here for the vibes\", and it's true he brings a dollop of good humour to the pod! With a blindspot for baddies (\"they're all friends!\"), a penchant for mispronunciations and an infectious optimism, it's impossible not to think he might be the nicest man on the Internet ever. With the smoothest accent, too.

Maz is a toy writer and photographer who obsesses about robots, trains and cardboard. Known for discovering toy lines 20 years too late and making Iceland the Mini-spy capital of the world. Believes Scourge wanted to gut Ultra Magnus, once threw a vintage Transformers prototype in the bin, likes Diaclone and occasionally hopes you choke.
