Stasis Pod Episode #266: Sky Forest
The new Sky Forest Frankie designs for Griffin Rock’s youth inventor competition will be an amazing tourist attraction — when it finally grows in a decade or two. But Mayor Luskey can’t wait that long, and there’s a convenient stockpile of rapid growth formula in the Best Left Forgotten section of the Hall of Inspiration! What could possibly go wrong? Can Cody forgive Frankie for beating his water-spraying firefighting suit in the competition? And does Huxley Prescott seriously have nothing better to do than get children to fight each other? Join us this week for “Sky Forest”!

Stasis Pod Episode #265: Road Trip
Welcome back to Griffin Rock — where the Autobots are still in training, the bears are weirdly aggressive, and 99% of their problems are caused by Science! When we last saw the Rescue Bots, they’d picked up a giant Mobile HQ from an evil alternate present, but before they can worry about whether Griffin Rock has the road infrastructure to handle a truck large enough to be driven by another truck, it’s whisked away by Doc Greene’s new teleportation ray — and Cody along with it! Can they get it under control before anything too disastrous happens? Will Kade get eaten by a bear? Why would you make a teleportation gun that just sends things random places!? And what IS hummus, anyway? Join us this week for a Rescue Bots “Road Trip”!

Join us this week as we discuss the Robots in Disguise shorts!

Stasis Pod Episode #263: The Bots Master: “Enter the Ninjzz”
We’re saying goodbye to the Bee Team for a bit, but before we check back in on the Autobots of Griffin Rock, we’re taking a little diversion to 1993, where bright colors, questionable names, and tortured acronyms rule! After his employers at RM Corp start using his inventions for evil, teenage robotics genius Ziv Zulander goes underground to fight against his old boss with his homemade BOYZZ — and this time it’s up to his newest invention, Ninjzz, to save him when he’s captured by Dr. Hiss and Lady Frenzy! How many Beast Wars alums can we spot in the cast? Was “Nin-jizz” as bad a name in 1993 as it is now? What robot from this series had an even more unfortunate name? And how much time will we actually spend talking about the movie “Zulander”? Join us this week for The Bots Master’s “Enter the Ninjzz”!

Stasis Pod Episode #262: Battlegrounds Part 2
Megatronus has returned, and after an entire season, someone finally remembered that this is in continuity with Transformers Prime and the Earth is Unicron! Will Optimus and a bunch of glowy plot armor be enough to help the Autobots stop him from combining Unicron’s Anti-Spark with Cybertron’s Allspark and destroying both worlds? Will Megatronus, literally the First Traitor of Cybertronian mythology, give Steeljaw everything he was promised? And why does Megatronus have a criminal record in Fixit’s non-mythological civilian database? Join us this week as we finish up Robots in Disguise season 1 with “Battlegrounds Part 2”!

Stasis Pod Episode #261: Battlegrounds Part 1
Steeljaw just wanted to start a mutual-aid commune for persecuted Decepticons, but nooooo, some inter-planar evil needs him to open a portal so he can conquer the universe! Can the Autobots stop him before he releases “The First Deception” from whatever Decepti-Hell he’s been banished to? Will having a thicc Optimus Prime along help? Oh no, why is Megatronus sexy? And why is Micronus in charge of combat training, he’s tiny! Join us this week for the first part of the Robots in Disguise (2015) season 1 finale, “Battlegrounds Part 1”!
