Armada episode 23 - Rebellion / Micron Legend episode 23 - Kakugo
Just when we thought it was So Over, Armada brings us So Back with an episode that sees Sideways Lady Macbething all over the Decepticons. Starscream gets called a stinky baby, Demolishor doesn't know what's going on, Megatron is an Attractive Killer, Jo makes an Only Fools and Horses reference for some reason, and the Autobots don't even appear!

Armada episode 22 - Vow / Micron Legend episode 22 - Fureai
After we discuss our expectations for a movie you've already heard our actual opinions on, we take a look at an episode that completely fails to justify itself. Wada demands that the boring parts be put back in, Archie Sonic has to go to school, Fred forgets that he's already done this, and Optimus Prime drops an absurd revelation about the Decepticon Mini-Cons that Hirofumi Ichikawa is on his way to retcon as we speak.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (IMMEDIATE SPOILERS, obviously!)
This week we're taking a break from going back to the early 2000s to instead go back to the mid-1990s with a look at the new Transformers movie, Rise of the Beasts! We dig into the themes, characters, symbols and facts of a film that - in many ways - feels strangely familiar. But what did we think of it as a whole? You'll just have to listen to find out!

Armada episode 21 - Decisive Battle / Micron Legend episode 21 - Kizashi
After spending a little time discussing the prospect of Transformers written by Robert Kirkman - which probably wouldn't be good, but would be interesting - we spend a very long time discussing an episode that is neither good nor interesting. Plus, we explore Armada's long and self-evident cultural impact, from James Roberts's More than Meets the Eye to Joss Whedon's The Avengers. Our Worlds are in Danger: a crevasse-forward show.

Armada episode 20 - Reinforcement / Micron Legend episode 20 - Arate
Another new friend arrives, bringing an interesting twist on the "Mini-Con of the week" formula that - frankly - this show probably should have just done from the start. Wada's laser rod stands ready, Hot Shot gets yelled at, and either Megatron is very fast for a tank or Starscream is very slow for a jet. We're like Top Gear, but not as funny!

Armada Episode 19 - Vacation / Micron Legend Episode 19 - Honeyasume
For our first ever GUEST EPISODE, we welcome @M0hairSam to discuss an episode that's incredibly charming in Japanese, and somewhat less charming in English. Hot Shot unleashes his newest special move, Smokescreen defies physics through sheer ignorance, Scavenger has a 4x weakness to Grass type attacks, and we are reminded that though you should respect nature, nature does not respect you.

Armada episode 18 - Trust / Micron Legend episode 18 - Kizuna
After a debate over Rise of the Beasts Wheeljack that's rooted in the core conflict of this show, we look at an episode that goes back to basics - or, more specifically, back to Armada episode 5. We get to see a new side of Scavenger, Rad edits his podcast, Smokescreen finally gets some personality, and Optimus Prime takes off his trousers. All this, and we discover a piece of information that turns our entire understanding of Scavenger's plotline on its head!

Armada Episode 17 - Conspiracy / Micron Legend Episode 17 - Inbō
Questions abound in this episode! Why is Demolishor simping for Megatron? Is that Mini-Con's presence an animation error? Why does Starscream hate trees? What's the point of Scavenger's mission? And does the climax makes sense, or is it just really stupid?
