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!

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!

2023/06/20

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!

Episode 21 - Truly they were a Decisive Battle

2023/06/06

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

Episode 20 - Armada: The Abridged Series

2023/05/31

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.

2023/05/09

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

2023/05/02

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?

Armada Episode 16 - Credulous / Micron Legend Episode 16 - Ogori In a shocking twist, it turns out the guy whose Japanese name is "Turncoat McTraitor" is a bad guy. Who could've seen this coming?! Meanwhile, Wads fails to recognise a recurring plot element, Jo is a fundamentally broken person, and Megatron is cajoled into making a pinky promise. Also: Hot Shot narrowly avoids being executed.

Armada Episode 15 - Gale / Micron Legend Episode 15 - Hayate A new addition who's definitely just a normal Autobot, trust me, joins the cast. We discover the wonders of "electronic mail", Wadapan pulls a real Gregory Berrycone, and Optimus decides to solve his problems by sending even more children into an active warzone. All this, and we confront that age-old philosophical question: can any of us ever have as many -izers as we'd like? Follow the podcast on Twitter: @OurWorldsPod Wadapan:

Armada Episode 14 - Overmatch / Micron Legend Episode 14 - Tsuwamono Ace reporter Wads gives us the word on the ground from TFNation Mini-Con before pitching his hard drive into the sea, as we encounter another banger of an episode from director Takashi Sano. We deliberately avoid getting into the terrifying ideology of the United States military as a new face joins the cast, and actually shakes things up this time around. Plus: Alexis isn't worried about getting her phone wet, Scavenger goes joker

Armada Episode 13 - Swoop / Micron Legend Episode 13 - Tsurugi CinemaSins ding! The Decepticons invite themselves into the Autobot base as the conflict over the Star Saber Mini-Cons comes to a head in an episode that showcases the differences between what Wads and Jo appreciate out of media. The Decepticons play modded Minecraft, the Autobots activate their Defense Nipples, and Billy and Fred are... here, for some reason. Plus, what's the coolest thing you can be to a Japanese (or American) kid of a

Armada Episode 12 - Prehistory / Micron Legend Episode 12 - Ikisatsu Believe it or not, this episode is not a high level critique of society - but it still gives us something to chew on with the strongest expression of Armada's themes yet. We talk about new friends of the Commander, Terran and Gift-With-Purchase variety, see pink Starscreams on parade in a comic-booky flashback, and visit an abandoned theme park(?) to experience all the fun of Chekhov's Volcano. Decepticon kills man, woman inherits

Dreamwave Armada preview and issues 1-5 - First Contact In our first bonus episode, we take a look at the first five issues of Dreamwave's Transformers Armada comic book and how it differs from its animated counterpart. Wada falls prey to nostalgia, Sarracini falls prey to Bendis-ism, Raiz falls prey to anime influence, and the Mini-Cons fall prey to people-faces.

Armada Episode 11 - Ruin / Micron Legend Episode 11 - Miyako This week, we take a deep dive into our first episode that sees a real difference in quality between dubs - but which one is better? Here's a hint - it's the one you expect. Armada's #themes come to the fore as Carlos rejects your reality, Jo has a quiet word with Wada away from the audience, we make an oblique reference to a really stupid in-joke, and Smokescreen continues to do nothing of interest. Just remember: she's only a hologram,

Armada Episode 10 - Underground / Micron Legend Episode 10 - Chika Severe technical troubles won't stop us from... well, um, having very little to say about this episode, to be honest. Smokescreen busts through in his role as the world's least threatening slasher villain, Alexis goes on a rant about Robert Moses, and Cyclonus continues to not acknowledge that Crumplezone exists.

Armada Episode 8 - Palace / Micron Legend Episode 8 - Takara IT'S A GOOD ONE! We run a little long this time, with an episode that we have naught but good things to say about, from gorgeous visuals to writing that makes Armada feel COOL. Jo spots an epic JoJo Reference, Wads tells a funny lie about Demolishor's catchphrase, and we dance around the implications of the Ancient Aliens trope. Plus: what if Cosmos was Cosmos?

Armada Episode 7 - Carnival / Micron Legend Episode 7 - Ōsawagi Billy and Fred make their triumphant(?) return alongside lead writer Ryō Motohira, with an episode that breaks from the existing formula... which may or may not be a good thing. What was Starscream's Mini-Con's name? What does an observatory do? How long will Jolt's patience last? All that and more! Don't have a cow, man!
