This week it’s Optimus’s turn for traumatic flashbacks as Sari’s Halloween decorations remind him of a lost friend and a run-in with giant alien spiders. But when that friend returns, she’s not what he expected! Will she be able to manipulate her way to Sari’s key? How does she stack up to her Beast Wars incarnation? And just how cool is it to get a Transformers Halloween episode? Join us this week for Along Came a Spider!

Without a body of his own, Megatron resorts to recruiting a small-time crook to steal the Destronium he needs with the help of a discarded super-speed supersuit from Sumdac. Can Bumblebee’s own ill-advised speed upgrades give him the boost he needs to stop him? And does anybody actually use the word “nanosec” in conversation? Join us this week as we catch up with Nanosec!

A Cybertronian bounty hunter arrives on Earth looking for the Autobots who took down Megatron — and he’s an all-too-familiar face from Ratchet’s past! Can the grouchy old medic overcome his fear to save the others? What familiar voices show up this time around? And is it really body horror when it’s robots? Join us this week for The Thrill of the Hunt!

Sumdac’s rival Prometheus Black is determined to prove that the future is human modification, not robotics, but when he has a lab accident while trying to find a way to sabotage the Autobots, he becomes the series’ first new human supervillain, Meltdown! Can the Autobots put a stop to him before he turns Sumdac Tower into a puddle of goo? Can Bumblebee prove that size doesn’t matter and make Bulkhead and Prowl stop picking on him? Was “Prometheus Black” not a supervillain enough name already? And which one of us is a big Peter Stormare fan? Join us this week for “Total Meltdown”!

Sari helps the Autobots settle into their new home on Earth, and she decides to start with a sleepover! But when her key jolts Megatron awake, he immediately starts looking for ways to get the Allspark from them! Can the Autobots survive a game of Twister? Will Prowl stop being a jerk? And just what kind of vocal range does Corey Burton have? Join us this week as we learn that Home Is Where The Spark Is!

The Autobots are getting settled into their new home, but there’s still one loose thread: Starscream is coming for the Allspark! Can the Autobots stop him? Is this the fastest an Optimus has died in a new series? And does that make it real Transformers now? Join us this week for Transform and Roll Out! Part 3!

In near-future Detroit, Issac Sumdac has revolutionized the world with his company’s robotic creations. But when an experiment in the nanotech lab gets out of control, it wakes the Autobots’ ship from its stasis at the bottom of Lake Erie! Can they figure out what these squishy “human” things are and save the city at the same time? Whatever happened to this brave Cartoon Network that encouraged its creators to have a human character like Sari? And really… Detroit? Join us this week as we Transform and Roll Out! …part 2.

With Beast Wars, Beast Machines, and an overview of everything else after behind us, it’s time to move on to our next full series: Transformers Animated!
The war is over, and Autobot Academy washout Optimus Prime is stuck on space bridge repair duty with a ragtag crew when they come across something no one expected to see again: The Allspark! But when its presence draws Megatron’s own flagship, can they keep it out of Decepticon hands? Can Starscream stop being so Starscream for like two minutes? And is “huge asshole” just Prowl’s default characterization now? Join us this week as we… Transform and Roll Out! (Part 1.)
