Armada episode 30 - Runaway / Micron Legend episode 30 - Kakurega
We debrief on TFNation, talking about the touys we bought and the friends we met, before diving into a cute episode that shines a spotlight on the kids and Mini-Cons while showing the Armada dub at its best. Rad hosts the Ultra-Navi, Thrust loses all his dignity, and Sky Blast wears a hat. Plus, Optimus Prime: "What if a truck was your dad?"

Armada episode 29 - Desperate / Micron Legend episode 29 - Utagoe
Our first mid-show cliffhanger resolves with another really strong, thematic episode. Sky Blast sings a little song, it's high noon for Blurr, Optimus Prime advocates for the Patriot Act, and Alexis posts on r/AmITheAsshole. Plus: Sometimes, forms that are powered up... are worse.

Transformers Armada pack-in comics and Dreamwave Free Comic Book Day Edition
With us taking the weekend off for TFNation 2023, we take a break from Armada episodes to look at some comics that you could get completely free back in 2003! (Some purchase necessary.) We take a look at the four Armada toyline pack-in comics to learn four important lessons, and get a genuinely good character spotlight for Swindle in a Free Comic Book Day issue from a writer who hasn't impressed us in the past. Plus: a tangent about Go-Bots!

Armada episode 28 - Awakening / Micron Legend episode 28 - Shōgeki
We pay tribute to Brand with a discussion of newly-revealed Transformers toys, including one that doesn't actually exist, before diving into an episode that gives the animators a rare chance to show off and do something interesting. Tidal Wave does an Akira slide, Jetfire does a powerbomb, Optimus Prime fumbles the bag, and Sideways shares his Awesome Inside Sources.

Armada episode 27 - Detection / Micron Legend episode 27 - Shōtai
In celebration of us being halfway through Armada, we encourage you to write in and tell us our podcast is bad. Jo reveals the secret inspiration for this show, Jetfire watches Transformers Armada, Thrust has to put his money where his big fat mouth is, Sideways turns his signal quality way down, and 5-year-old Japanese children are asked to remember what it was like in the 80s.

Armada episode 26 - Linkup / Micron Legend episode 26 - Link Up
Unfinished animation abounds in this one, as we go from Rise of the Beasts special features to an episode that's utterly let down by its visuals. Optimus Prime gets mad about public transportation, Jetfire has the personality of a space shuttle, Megatron has Joe Rogan energy, and Smokescreen gets both figuratively and literally emasculated.

Armada episode 25 - Tactician / Micron Legend episode 25 - Chiemono
WADA: is injured! JO: is despairing about the state of the comics industry! JETFIRE: is eating horses! MEGATRON: is lazy! GARY CHALK: is bored out of his mind! And THRUST: might be gay!

Armada episode 24 - Chase / Micron Legend episode 24 - Kage
The kids go to Cyber Hell in a Very Special Episode that unfortunately isn't about internet safety, but IS surprisingly significant. Alexis installs Avast, Shockwave(?) makes a cameo, and American fansites go absolutely wild!
