- Around Cybertron is a news broadcast in the TransTech and "Shattered Glass" continuity families.
For in-depth, hard-hitting news coverage, you look FIRST to Around Cybertron. Host Rook is there with breaking news from the front lines. Whether it's Decepticon malcontents or plush lizards, Rook brings you the news you need, when you need it.
In an alternate dimension, a somewhat different version of Rook brings you the news that your Autobot overlords want you to have, when they want you to have it, via the ABN (Autobot Broadcast Network, presumably). And you'd better be watching, if ya knows what's good for ya.
