Episode numbers are an arbitrary thing, so this week we’re celebrating 400-ish episodes with a discussion of where Transformers has been, what it’s doing now (Hello Transformers One!), and where it’s going! We’ll be back with Cyberverse next time, but this week, join us for our Kind-Of Anniversary Spectacular!
This week on Stasis Pod: Bumblebee does some unguided deep-diving into his memories and finds something pretty damn traumatic, then Windblade helps him remember why Shadow Striker hates him so much. But isn’t it a little cringe to have Bumblebee as your nemesis? And what the hell just happened on Velocitron!? WHY DOES THE EPISODE END LIKE THAT!? Join us this week for the Cyberverse episodes “Terminal Velocity” and “Shadowstriker”!
This week on Iacon Underground Radio we’re sequestering the Transformers One spoilers in their own Spoiler Zone, getting excited over the Studio Trigger short, and being Old People about video games!
Windblade helps Bumblebee remember why Megatron and his Decepticons are their enemies, then they reminisce about their first meeting at a Cybertronian sporting event! Just how damaged IS our Bee buddy? Shouldn’t a Transformer sport involve more transforming? And how many times can we say “THE CUBE!” in a Hugo Weaving voice? Join us this week for “Megatron Is My Hero” and “Cube”!
Everybody’s over their covid, so Jen and David are back to talk about Tokyo Toy Show 2024, whether the Activision games are ever coming back to Xbox, and Transformers One popcorn buckets!
Bumblebee remembers an important part of the Ark’s journey, then Windblade follows the clues and ends up in a fight with some Seekers! So what exactly is the deal with Cyberverse Grimlock? Can Bumblebee resist the urge to press the big red button? And why does the cake taste like chicken? Join us this week for “The Journey” and “Whiteout”!
Windblade and Bumblebee have a run-in with some Seekers that leaves them with a new ship! But can Windblade fix Bumblebee’s memories? Can Bumblebee stop pressing all the buttons? And wait, are those emojis in the episode titles? Join us this week for “Memory” and “Allspark”!
This week, Stasis Pod is heading into the Cyberverse! What sets this series apart from the other Transformers shows we’ve discussed so far? What does it have in common? And can Bumblebee needing a babysitter actually carry the whole season? Join us this week for an intro to Cyberverse and the first episode, “Fractured”!
Before we move on to our next series, we’re looking back at The Transformers One We Have At Home – not “War Dawn” (yet), but the historic story of the falling-out between Leader-1 and Cy-Kill of the GoBots! Were these two old friends ever as gay as Orion Pax and D-16? Which writer did his history homework? And why were there flying monkeys? Meet us in the Hall of Columns this week for “Et Tu, Cy-Kill”!
This week we’ve got a pile of SDCC news to sort through, including Dinoking, some surprise reissues, and Transformers’ first Eisner!
