This week we watch the second part of Beast Wars’s first big meta-plot two-parter, The Trigger! Blackarachnia plots to take control of the obelisk at the heart of the floating island, but is she biting off more than she can chew? Will Rattrap’s beast mode ever stop being charming? And will Terrorsaur ever do anything useful on this show again? Join us as we pull The Trigger, Part 2!
Stasis Pod hits a big meaty chunk of metaplot this week as we reach The Trigger! Tigatron discovers a floating island making its way through the Conveniently Located Arctic, but Waspinator and Terrorsaur find it too! Blackarachnia finally comes into her own as a character, and the Tigatron/Airazor ship unfurls its sails! All this and a cliffhanger ending!

When a spark goes online, there is great joy.
This week on Stasis Pod we tackle the episode of Beast Wars that had the most pervasive, longest-lasting impact on Transformers lore, The Spark! And bonus points for introducing something Transformers shows have rarely had before or since: a second regular female character! Join us as we discuss the episode itself as well as the significance of the concepts introduced — along with Jen’s proto-lesbian crush on Airazor.

The second part of another coincidental two-part theme, the Double D episodes! Megatron creates a clone of Dinobot to infiltrate the Maximals, but will the real Dinobot stay out of the picture long enough for it to do its job? Why does a clone ostensibly made from Dinobot’s raptor DNA have Cybertronian-level intelligence? How much of a hard-on does Megatron have for Dinobot? Join us this week as we watch Double Dinobot!
And stick around for some discussion of the fandom halfway through season 1, with Jen’s memories from alt.toys.transformers (where she posted as Trixter) and the early days of BotCon.
You can also catch David this week on episode 13 of Gundam podcast The Cockpit!

Megatron figures out that Rhinox is totally the best Maximal — something the audience already knows — and takes him captive, turning him into a Predacon using a device that just raises further questions. But was that really such a great idea? Will we ever get a redeco of Rhinox in those colors? What makes a Predacon a Predacon? And just who is this “Wonko the Sane”? Join us for this week’s Beast Wars episode, Dark Designs! And stick around at the end for a discussion of the news from SDCC 2015!

Part two of the coincidental “We’re Going Home!” duology! When a spy camera shows the Predacons accidentally blowing up their own base during a leadership scuffle, the Maximals declare a reluctant victory in the Beast Wars. Now able to repair the Axalon with scavenged parts from the Predacon’s ship, they’re ready to return to Cybertron! Well, most of them. But can a 26-episode season really kill off its antagonists in episode 12? Who ran a cable all the way to the Predacon ship for that spycam? Did they use ethernet or coax? And which Maximal has an even more commanding presence than their actual commander? Join us this week for Victory (with ball joints)!

Cybertron sends a probe after the Axalon, but can Rhinox hail it before it leaves the planet? How many of the Maximals even want to go home? And who designs a probe to find lost ships that only works if the ship’s engines are functional? Join us as we watch Beast Wars episode 11, The Probe!

We’re back! When Scorponok attacks Optimus Primal with a virus intended to turn him into a coward, the Pred’s plan backfires, leaving Primal with a bad case of ‘roid rage! What will Primal do with this newfound bloodlust? Will Dinobot once again suggest that the answer is murder? And which of us clearly never had Scorponok’s toy? This week we celebrate the first appearance of the Cyber Bee as Optimus Primal gives the Predacons a taste of Gorilla Warfare!

Rattrap’s in the spotlight in this week’s episode, A Better Mousetrap! When the new Sentinel security system is activated before Rhinox can program it not to shoot at the Axalon’s crew, can the wise-cracking spy infiltrate his own home base to disable it? Are the defenses as non-lethal as Rhinox says? And how is Blackarachnia ordering Waspinator and Terrorsaur around in her second appearance?

You think you’re pretty smart, don’t you, Trebek? Then why don’t you explain why this episode is called “Double Jeopardy”?
This week’s episode brings us the strangely brief introduction of Blackarachnia, some excellent acting from Rattrap, the managerial wisdom of Megatron, and Tarantulas being a massive creepy perv. Join us as we choose Terrorsaur’s Leadership Failures for $500 and find ourselves in Double Jeopardy!
