After two years of being away, we are finally returning to Jasper, Nevada.

This datatrack contains discussion of the following topics; Peter Cullen's performance as Orion Pax, Soundwave's aura farming capabilities, Megatron's inexpert gaslighting techniques, Optimus' love of endangering children, Starscream being pathetic while still maintaining his menace, and how nice it is to have normal human characters again.

Normally we'd say B.O.T. has to be seen to be believed, but it sucks to watch, so I guess take our word for it. This datatrack contains discussion of the following topics; cosplaying as the enemy, Starscream's high perception, ideas with no justification, the worst humans in the entire franchise, poor Combiner booking, GEARS???, and just...everything about B.O.T. Everything. Argh. Noise Space | Discord | Patreon This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

I'm going to be frank with everyone; at least 10 minutes of this episode is dedicated to a running bit about the Aerialbots jacking off on the Statue of Liberty. I'm sorry. This datatrack contains discussion of the following; highly illegal hats, classic 80s racism, the world's fakest race, Wildrider slamming into a mountain headfirst, Starscream's gayer than usual behavior, Superion giving Lady Liberty a pearl necklace, the politics of giving an alien robot a scientific research award, Megatron's sicko interests rearing their head once more, and how much fun the Stunticons are.

Now look I know you THOUGHT you knew how Transformers were made, considering how they've built like 10 guys on Earth with no extra steps, but we didn't know about the big glowing god orb before. This datatrack contains discussion of the following topics; Rumble's love of car theft, Alpha Trion's continually strange vibes, Wildrider busting a nut, baby fights, how the Dinobots are doomed to limbo, putting the guy with a fear of heights in charge of plane team, and the seemingly endless march of combiners that will soon be hitting our screens.Noise Space Discord Patreon This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

This week friend of the show Sam joins us to talk about two episodes of Generation 1. The first one is a shockingly competent, world expanding adventure starring an underappreciated character. The other is maybe the worst single episode of G1 we've sat through thus far. In conclusion, Kremzeek is a land of contrasts. This Datatrack contains discussion of the following topics; The Book of Boba Fett, a slur so old timey it barely registers, Bosch, this show having three voice actors, Astrotrain's miserable life, Megatron's horrible son, accents so racist they loop around into being something else, Tokusatsu episode titles, and [INFORMATION WITHHELD TO AVOID GETTING THE DISCORD SUBPOENAED].

Mara's good friend and frequent collaborator Jane Underscore joins the podcast this week to discuss quite a pair of episodes. One sees the birth of one of the most popular human/autobot ships of all time while the other challenges the very principles of animation "being good" and "making sense". This Datatrack contains discussion of the following topics; the thriving goon ecosystem of NYC, funny signs, Raoul, what Tracks being gay coded would actually mean in universe, Scrapper living up to his name, da Mets, Planet 52 starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, an all you can eat buffet of animation errors, Alligators, and the world's most confusing cliffhanger.

As we reach roughly the halfway point of our journey through G1 season 2, the powers that be deign to give us the gift of peak.

This Datatrack contains discussion of the following topics; good guys being annoying, War of the Worlds (2025), Red Alert's dogshit firefighting technique, Blaster's dogshit infiltration technique, Ye Olde Starscreame, Valley Girl princesses, bird shit, magic being real, time travel being real, dragons being real, and the wizard Boruto.

This week Argyle from Pod of Greed returns to the show to talk about a trio of extremely stupid episodes. While Microbots is mostly your average 'guys shrink down to go inside another guy' episode of children's animation it does contain one of the best scenes in all of G1 and introduces us to Perceptor. Then we experience the Television equivalent of being hit over the head with a sack of doorknobs for 45 minutes with the infamous two parter Megatron's Master Plan. Included in this Datatrack are discussions of the following topics; Brawn's rampant homophobia, Autobot HR, EVIL brain impulses, macguffins too stupid to come back in legacy media, the Optimus Prime costume suspiciously fitted specifically for Starscream, Optimus obeying circuit courts, Cosmos, Tracks stealing the Lambo Bros' whole schtick, Thrust's cowriting credit, and the unfortunate parallels to our modern, stupid reality. Also sorry about my audio! I unplugged my mic and forgot to readjust my levels so I might go from being too loud to too quiet at some points here. Hopefully I fixed most of the peaking- Mara.
