S4E4: Witwicky Budding Theory

Audrey may hate it when I do it in the episode, but she can't stop me from doing Shrapnel's vocal tick in the description, description! This week the Dinobots go on strike, Wheeljack adopts two more sons, and there are a bunch of huge robot bugs in the jungle, jungle. How did the Autobots drive from Oregon to Bali, Bali? Why did Wheeljack forget to give Snarl a personality, personality? Does the insecticons being able to process organic matter mean they've eaten people, people? There are many questions, and we have a few of the answers this week on Prime…

S4E3: Shockwave Gets Trolled

Due to some creative scheduling, our nonlinear history of Transformers is even more nonlinear than usual as we cover episodes 6 and 8 of G1. Some extremely iconic G1 stuff is established in these episodes, like the Dinobots. There's also some stuff that stuck in young fans minds so hard that it eventually BECAME iconic, like those colorful Starscream clones called the Rainmakers. And naturally the show can barely go five minutes without some kind of catastrophic animation error, like Skywarp being miscolored as both his teammates within the same scene. Anyway did you know that even with seat belts…

S4E2: Don Cliffote

Despite what you may think, the Decepticons weren't defeated simply by getting a little wet. G1 just keeps on rolling this week, with some of the most madness filled action sequences we've seen yet. Laser baseballs, clam nets, hand launched buzzsaws, and more await you here. Plus, Cliffjumper takes nothing but Ls, Soundwave does a brain scan, Bumblebee is a terrible scout, and we finally get to see what Jet Judo is all about. Noise Space | Discord

S4E1: Woe, Laserbeak Be Upon Ye

Right out the gate, G1 lets you know exactly what this show is gonna be; poorly animated, bizarrely written, and extremely funny. We're covering the three part introduction of the Transformers, More Than Meets The Eye. You will hear about Shockwave's huge honkers, the Autobot's huge brained plans, the Decepticon's complete two dimensional villainy, and how every single human in this show wears a hard hat. And while Starscream is obviously a hoot from minute one, we find a new favorite guy in the form of a rude blue dude that lives in Soundwave's chest. Now the only question remains;…

S3E8: Sentinels Is The Same

Another season down! This week we're wrapping up our coverage of TFA season 1. Our expectations and memories going in, the ups and downs of late 2000s episodic storytelling, and being absolutely perfect at not spoiling anything ever. We also have some awards to give out, some characters to kill, and some books to discuss. And of course, we have the announcement of our next season. What is it? I'm not telling you. Listen to the damn episode! Noise Space | Discord

S3E7: Sumdac You Ignorant Slut

Well folks it's already here, the season finale for TFA. We've had some laughs, but now its time to get down to whats REALLY important; camping vs glamping. Oh also, Megatron is resurrected and beats the shit out of the Autobots and stuff but like come on, we know you. You wanna hear more about Bumblebee's potential future as a drug mule, and Megatron and Starscream's foreplay involving lots of veiled threats. Anyway I'm gonna swing by McServo's, you want an Energon Mac or something? Noise Space | Discord

S3E6: The Fanzone Fan Zone

Gonna be honest with you folks, these episodes were mostly nothing to write home about. Even the Dinobots returning couldn't save us from this sea of mediocrity...but maybe one square shaped, brick fisted, machine hating cop could! Meltdown makes his big comeback, Bulkhead learns all about art, and the worlds most aggravating man tries to melt all of Michigan in a nuclear fireball. This week Prime Cuts is T0T@L 0WN@G3 and all that garbage. Noise Space | Discord

S3E5: “No <3"

We've got a busy couple of episodes for Megatron this week. First his latest attempt at creating a new body for himself becomes sentient (again) and decides to lead a robot revolution while blasting Sick Beats. Then the rest of the Nemesis crew finally shows up on Earth to cause some serious trouble. Also everybody is beefing and nobody is cooperating. Gigantic explosions, music that defies genre, and terrible birthday gifts await you here on Prime Cuts. Noise Space | Discord

S3E4: Shoes That Make You Old

This week we're joined by David of the Shonen Flop Cast to discuss a pair of episodes that truly span Animated's tones. First Bumblebee has to outspeed a hyper fast thief under the employ of Megatron in an episode right out of Teen Titans. Then Optimus' traumatic past is explored as Blackarachnia appears on Earth to get Sari's key. Sexy spiders, giant chins, and the (heroic) torture of the elderly abound on this episode of Prime Cuts.

S3E3: The Dinosaurs and Trauma Power Hour

Hey kids! You like cool fire breathing robot dinosaurs?! Of course ya do! Do you like the deep seated scars of war!? Well good news, this week you get BOTH! The debut of the Animated Dinobots comes right alongside Ratchet facing down an ugly reminder of his past, voiced by yet another beloved character actor. We also discuss how often Predator Episodes keep popping up, Megatron's expert manipulation skills, and the Arcee Scale of Being Done Dirty. (Spoilers, this one doesn't rank well.)
