Megatron takes control of Optimus Primal to get inside the Ark and steal the spark of the original Megatron! But will the Decepticon leader’s spark give him the same kind of upgrade it gave Optimus? When did Blackarachnia turn into Phoenix? And how many pop culture jokes can we make about the title? Join us this week for Master Blaster!

Blackarachnia’s experimentation with the Transmetal driver causes her Predacon shell programming to degrade, forcing her to make a dire choice: let Rhinox attempt to remove it, or slowly lapse into madness and eventually death. But the Predacons won’t let go of their former comrade so easily! Can Rhinox carry out some super 90s VR surgery to save her even while the base is under attack? Is Tarantulas the worst, or is he THE WORST? And what exactly is a “Rubicon” anyway? We’ll discuss all this and more in this week’s episode, Crossing the Rubicon!

Megatron’s latest superweapon is so unstable that he needs an organic creature to finish building it. Fortunately he knows just where to get one! But can the Maximals’ little proto-human buddy Una really be trusted to follow instructions? Can Rattrap and Depth Charge rescue her before Megatron decides she’s dispensable? And did Cheetor seriously just criticize violent cartoons in a violent cartoon? Join us this week as we Go with the Flow!

Convinced that Optimus Primal and Rhinox are planning to reprogram her into a Maximal against her will, Blackarachnia runs away from the base to consider her choices. But she’s not alone in the forest – Dinobot’s clone finds her, and a fight is on! Who’ll win a one-on-one between the Predacon deserter and the creepy clone of a Predacon deserter? Who decided to make Silverbolt her commanding officer? And where are they on Earth, anyway? Join us as we discuss all this and more in Proving Grounds!

Cheetor “miraculously” survived being attacked by an ill-defined monster that’s totally not just him mutating into a terrible new form, but can he survive another round of weird dreams? Does Blackarachnia have some kind of snout fetish? And is somebody going to teach Cheetor to shave? Join us this week for the second half of cyber-puberty in Feral Scream pt. 2!

It’s been a long time since we’ve had an episode that revolved entirely around Cheetor being an idiot, but everyone’s second-least-favorite kid-appeal character is back to ruining everything again! Megatron captures a stasis pod with a blank protoform in order to make a clone of Dinobot using his new Transmetal 2™ technology! But when Cheetor tries to take down Megatron’s sweet evil device all by himself, will he succeed in anything but getting himself killed? Did the Maximals learn to aim from COBRA? And will Jen ever move past them misusing computer terms? Join us for the onset of robot puberty in Feral Scream pt. 1!

When a family of protohumans is attacked by cyborg raptors with laser eyes, it’s up to the Maximals to take care of the orphaned children and return them to their tribe! But who’s making cyborg raptors with laser eyes? (Spoilers: It’s Megatron.) Can Blackarachnia be trusted to lead them back home? (Spoilers: Yes, but she won’t be happy about it.) And can Megatron’s unrequited boner for Dinobot get any creepier? (Spoilers: Actually, yes.) Join us as Stasis Pod checks out the Cutting Edge!

Did you have your fill of pretty CG water in Deep Metal? Well TOO BAD, because it’s time for more! Rhinox concludes that the only way to get the Ark properly secured is to retrieve the Sentinel console from the Axalon. But with the Maximal’s old base at the bottom of a river, it’s up to Rattrap to pilot a tiny submersible pod into the ruins to retrieve it before the Predacons come after him! Can he escape the claws of Rampage? Can the Maximals keep Sentinel from falling into Predacon hands? And just where is that music coming from anyway? Join us this week for a Changing of the Guard!

The year is 1998, and Mainframe Entertainment has finally gotten the hang of really nice CG water. So it’s time for something new and exciting: a character with an aquatic beast mode! But why does newcomer Depth Charge have a revenge boner for Rampage? How many fish-based nicknames can Rattrap come up with? And do Transmetal cats hate water? Join us as we get into some Deep Metal!
