Podcast: Stasis Pod

Tankor’s villainy escalates quickly as he decides to use the Key to Vector Sigma to turn the Maximals into pure metal! Meanwhile, Optimus and company drill for water for their new garden and get some kind of primordial ooze instead! Can the Maximals use that to cure Nightscream when he gets hit by the Key? Just what is this Key, anyway? And will Optimus and Cheetor stop bickering like an old married couple before Rattrap just kills them all? Find out this week as we watch The Key!

The Maximals manage to get through to Rhinox, but does he want to be saved? Can Nightscream put Blackarachnia’s spark back in her body? Are we still going on with this Thrust-is-Silverbolt thing? And why is there no actual apocalypse? We were promised an apocalypse! Join us as we try to survive Revelations Part 3: Apocalypse!

Convinced that the Vehicon generals need to be saved from whatever Megatron’s done to them, Cheetor leads the Maximals topside to go after Tankorr. But just who is Tankorr? Was it a bad idea to send Blackarachnia to distract Thrust after the last episode–or was it the BEST idea? And why doesn’t Optimus Primal just give the others a safeword? We explore all this and more in Revelations Part 2: Descent!

After finding a mass grave of Cybertronians, the Maximals realize the planet’s missing population wasn’t killed, they all had their sparks extracted!

Was the entire action plot of this episode seriously caused by Optimus Primal shooting at the wrong thing in the first couple minutes?

It’s the moment we’ve all been dreading: The arrival of possibly the most annoying character in all of Transformers, everyone’s least favorite Edward Furlong wannabe… That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves. It’s time for…Nightscream. Is he as bad as we all remember? Spoilers: He’s possibly worse.

Megatron tries to motivate the Vehicon generals with a reward for whoever can bring him the Maximals. While Jetstorm and Thrust snipe at each other, Tankorr finds Optimus and the others looking for any signs of Rhinox or Silverbolt. Can Optimus and his creepy astral projection head convince Tankorr to switch sides? Can the foreshadowing get any heavier? And just how messed up is Cronenberg Rattrap, seriously? Join us this week as we engage in some Mercenary Pursuits!

Megatron decides he needs Vehicons that can think on their own to deal with the Maximals. Meanwhile, Blackarachnia starts having visions of someone very familiar — who she doesn’t quite remember! Can she get to the crashed Maximal shuttle to get answers, or will the newly-created Vehicon generals cut her off? Can Rattrap ever catch a break? And is Jetstorm the quippiest character in all Transformers? Grab some s’mores and hot dogs and join us as we gather around the Fires of the Past!

Cheetor and Blackarachnia discover that Cybertron’s entire population has gone missing, and trying to find out why leads them and the other Maximals to a confrontation with the planet’s new ruler — none other than Megatron himself! Running ensues, Rattrap is reduced to comic relief, and David makes musical theater references! Join us this week as we meet Cybertron’s new…Master of the House!
