Legion of Leia Podcast Ep. 70: Davin Cleary, Transformers Chat and Dungeons & Dragons!

On this, the 70th episode of the Legion of Leia podcast, I get to have a chat with my very awesome brother-in-law, Transformers expert and fellow geek Davin Cleary! This week we take a deep dive into not only the Transformers films, including the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight, as well as the toys, the comics and the animated series. We also chat about retconning in the films and what kind of Transformers movie we want to see. Davin and I have known each other for 25 years, and we have had many discussions about this particular fandom — we should have done this ages ago! We go back to the first Transformers toy we both got and talk about the amazing Maurice LaMarche who is the voice of Chief Charlie Burns on Transformers: Rescue Bots and the amazing voicemail he left for Davin’s daughter Sairsha!

We also chat about the Wonder Woman film and Davin’s first foray into playing Dungeons & Dragons! You will learn about the tricks some Dungeon Masters use to get you used to using new characters and why I name all my horses in every game Henry. It scarred me for life, I tells ya! ALL HORSES ARE NAMED HENRY!

Are you guys excited about the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight? What types of toys do you collect? How many of these items do you have in your house and do you ever sell them? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below or tweet us @LegionofLeia! You can follow Davin on Twitter @DavinCleary!
