Stasis Pod Episode 70: A Wolf in the Fold
Megatron infects all the Maximals but Optimus with a virus that makes them all violently hostile! Can they calm their tits long enough to stop him? Will this convince Optimus that Megatron’s philosophy–that free will inevitably leads to conflict–is correct? And how is this at all different from the way they acted at the beginning of Season 1? Join us for all this and a G1 history lesson as we watch A Wolf in the Fold!
Stasis Pod Episode 69: In Darkest Knight
Blackarachnia finally forces Silverbolt to emerge from Jetstorm for good, but the once-hero has gone all 90s dark-and-broody and wants nothing but revenge on Megatron for what was done to him. Can Blackarachnia get through to him? Will we finally learn the origin of the gray apples? And how does actual-dark-fantasy-writer Jen rate his brooding skills? Find out this week in brightest day, In Darkest Knight!
Stasis Pod Episode 68: Prometheus Unbound
At Nightscream’s urging, the Maximals have taken Noble in, but why is he fixated on trying to get into Megatron’s fortress? Can Noble keep the Savage part of himself under control… or has it never been out of control in the first place? Could the foreshadowing be any more heavy-handed? And could the episode title be any more pretentious? Find out this week as we watch Prometheus Unbound!
Stasis Pod Episode 67: Savage Noble
Megatron’s giant head looms over the city, a feral monster is stalking the ruins, and the Maximals find another survivor who seems to be fully organic! Are all these strange things connected? What is with this show and giant heads? And can Rob and David get Jen and Alex to stop talking about World of Warcraft? Find out the answers to some of those questions this week as we watch Savage Noble!
Stasis Pod Episode 66: Fallout

Stasis Pod Episode 65: End of the Line
