Everyone’s favorite Crime Druids are back in town, and they didn’t get the memo that the Rescue Bots are aliens — and now they’re determined to steal-slash-kidnap Quickshadow! Can they be stopped before they ruin the town’s Earliween parade? Will they blow the Rescue Bots’ cover? How deep under the Unit E bunker are these guys about to be buried? And wait… what’s “Earliween”? Join us this week for “Ghost in the Machine”!
Griffin Rock is invaded by the only villains worse than bird watchers: property investors! Can the town shoo them away before the Bots are discovered — or housing costs go out of control? What villain is back from an extended trip to Europe? And why is Cody suddenly invisible? Join us this week for “Vanishing Returns”!
The holidays still have everyone’s schedules out of whack, so this week we’re digging in our big red sack and pulling out a Patreon special from December 2019:
It’s the holiday season, and our Canadian host Rob realizes he had a lot of misconceptions about the US military as we go back to the 80s for a special Christmas episode of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero! Under cover of a charity toy drive, Cobra uses a shrink ray to infiltrate the Joe base and steal their vehicles, hoping to pin their ensuing attack on the Joes! Can the handful of Joes still on base for the holidays stop them? Why does Jack Nicholson have a parrot? Were all computer mainframes in the 80s orange? Join us this month for “Santa C.L.A.W.S Are Coming To Town”, and thank you so much for your support! Yo Joe!
Frankie’s found a new expansion pack for Griffin Rock Element Quest, the VR game that Cody and Blades got trapped in — so of course they’re going to go for another round! But what surprise was left in the new expansion’s code? Can Boulder get a library card? And how many video game references will have to be explained to Rob? Join us this week for “Back to Virtual Reality”!
Quickshadow is determined to train each of the Rescue Bots to operate as a team of one — even though there’s no I in Team! (Blades is gonna have to take that poster down.) But when they have to escort a hazardous shipment for Doc Greene, will her way of doing things really be better than their teamwork? Why did she think “Bootlatch” was a good code name? And who is absolutely not allowed to transport hazardous materials anymore? Join us this week for “Plus One”!
Holiday scheduling is A Whole Thing, so this week we’re presenting one of our Patreon episodes.
With Godzilla Minus One in theaters and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters now streaming, we’re looking back at a much, much earlier attempt to bring Godzilla to the West: the Hanna-Barbera Godzilla cartoon! The Calico ends up on a mysterious island off the coast of Canada where a cobra-like monster called Axor has been hypnotizing shipwrecked humans into building him a temple! Can Pete and Godzooky save them from the creature’s control? And is Godzilla able to do anything without Pete narrating it for the audience? Join us this week for “The Beast of Storm Island”!
A mysterious car follows Chase and Heatwave back to the firehouse after another Ground Bridge malfunction, and they keep saving people before the Rescue Bots can step in! Who’s behind the wheel — and why does it take so long for everyone to reach the obvious conclusion that they’re Cybertronian? Can Cody and Frankie keep up with a toddler who’s too smart for her own good? And what’s even better than a title drop? Join us this week for “Arrivals”!
The Rescue Bots are getting used to the idea of everyone on Griffin Rock knowing their secret — but can they depend on them to keep it? Why is the new Ground Bridge to the Academy site acting up? Can Blades get people to join his fan club? And what’s the best kind of peanut butter? Join us this week as we do some “Bridge Building”!
Back in Griffin Rock, the Very Good Boys of the Rescue Bots have been dragging their heels on the whole reveal-yourselves-to-the-humans thing — but an invasion of some less friendly aliens gives them a chance to show that they really do come in peace! Can they save the day before any humans get eaten? What exactly has Optimus been up to since the last time he called? And does Chase have what it takes to be a bestselling author? Join us this month as we head into Rescue Bots Season 4 with “New Normal”!
Before we return to Griffin Rock, we’re taking a trip over to Japan for their version of “Beast Hunters”, Triple Combination: Transformers Go! What’s the deal with this largely-forgotten bit of Transformers fiction? When did time travel become a perfectly ordinary thing that the Aligned-universe Autobot could just do? And how much story can they squeeze in between transformation sequences? Join us this week for the first two episodes of Go!, “Triple Combination! Swordbot – Samurai!” and “Pursue! The Legendiscs!” GATTAI!
