About this episode

The episode discusses the 1986 film 'The Transformers: The Movie', exploring its plot, characters, and production details.

"Pod-Weep-Gra-Na-Weep-Ninnybong" That's the universal greeting. Next we offer you a little energon goodie. This week our contestants find out who killed the Transformers, and why. We discuss the early (better?) drafts of this movie, how trains work in space, who's head gets replaced by a twelve year old boy, and whether or not [SPOILER] ever comes back. First we crack the shell, then we crack the nuts inside! Link to Chris McFeely's Youtube for the lore.
