Prime Cuts

Gonna be honest with you folks, these episodes were mostly nothing to write home about. Even the Dinobots returning couldn't save us from this sea of mediocrity...but maybe one square shaped, brick fisted, machine hating cop could ! Meltdown makes his big comeback, Bulkhead learns all about art, and the worlds most aggravating man tries to melt all of Michigan in a nuclear fireball. This week Prim...

We've got a busy couple of episodes for Megatron this week. First his latest attempt at creating a new body for himself becomes sentient (again) and decides to lead a robot revolution while blasting Sick Beats. Then the rest of the Nemesis crew finally shows up on Earth to cause some serious trouble. Also everybody is beefing and nobody is cooperating. Gigantic explosions, music that defies genre,...

This week we're joined by David of the Shonen Flop Cast to discuss a pair of episodes that truly span Animated's tones. First Bumblebee has to outspeed a hyper fast thief under the employ of Megatron in an episode right out of Teen Titans. Then Optimus' traumatic past is explored as Blackarachnia appears on Earth to get Sari's key. Sexy spiders, giant chins, and the (heroic) torture of the elderly...

Hey kids! You like cool fire breathing robot dinosaurs?! Of course ya do! Do you like the deep seated scars of war!? Well good news, this week you get BOTH! The debut of the Animated Dinobots comes right alongside Ratchet facing down an ugly reminder of his past, voiced by yet another beloved character actor. We also discuss how often Predator Episodes keep popping up, Megatron's expert manipulati...

This week Jordan from the excellent Shounen Flop Podcast joins us for our first proper episodes of TFA, and we find that sometimes this show just turns into Teen Titans. This episode really goes all over the damn place, from reminiscing about pre-smartphone cell phones to shouting out experimental guitarist Buckethead, Hot Dog Crimes and cum crystals, and of course plenty of tangents about IDW. Bu...

Time to begin the first season of Transformers Animated with the three part TV movie that kicked the whole thing off, Transform and Roll Out. It's got everything you could want out of a Transformers series premier; action, jokes, lore, and GIGANTIC CHINS! Just watch out for Tom Kenny doing a racist voice (2008 was a different time) and stay tuned for the long awaited return of a Prime Cuts classic...

Well, Prime Season 1 is officially in the rear view. Did we think it was good? Did it hold up in 2022? Yes! We also discuss the odd place the Aligned continuity holds in Transformers canon, what we think the future holds, and also give out some wonderful awards. And of course, we reveal what series we're covering for season 3! You'll NEVER guess what Nero picked! NEVER! Noise Space | Discord

Here we are, at the end of Transformers Prime's first season. We've got everything you could want out of an explosive season finale; huge twists, cool action, crazy alliances, and one hell of a cliffhanger. We discuss Megatron's love of drama, John Noble's typecasting as shitty fathers, insane G1 plots, and plug some fanfiction. (Also sorry about all the weird buzzing in Nero's audio. They got a f...

This week Sam joins us to talk about episodes 22 and 23 of Prime Season 1. Ratchet gets lost in the Synthetic Energon sauce and becomes an absolute chad, but is he enough of a Cool Grandpa to defeat Megatron? No, probably not. Then we're ramping up to the season 1 finale, so its time for Megatron and Optimus to have a fated duel in front of an erupting volcano. Oh also Raf nearly dies, but don't w...

This week we're joined by Ruby from Konoha Crush to discuss episodes 20 and 21 of Prime season 1. We get to see Starscream at his most pathetic, Airachnid at her most catty, and Arcee at her most vengeful. Then Prime takes the old 'dumb guy gets made artificially smart' standby and imbues it with some pretty effective pathos and medical horror. We also discuss some of the most outrageous Deceptico...

The worst month of Starscream's life continues this week as we cover 'Metal Attraction' and 'Rock Bottom'. After an episode of magnetized shenanigans, attraction jokes, and Airachnid saying some of the gayest shit in the show so far, its time for everyone to get trapped in a cave and have A Bad Time. Why DOES Megatron keep Starscream around? What does Bulgarian Screech Metal sound like? What is go...

We've got a MECHtacular double feature this week as we cover episodes 16 and 17 of Prime season 1. Silas and his merry band of techno-fascists return, Breakdown finds himself in a Saw movie, and Airachnid shows up once more to menace her rival Arcee (in a gay way). Also the Autobots play a bit of STALKER and June realizes how big of a nerd her son is. Then she meets her future husband, who turns i...

Oooooh, we've got a pair of spine chilling spook em ups for you this week; zombies, possession, and being trapped in limbo forever, just in time for...The Fourth of July? Doesn't seem quite right. Well, while we have you here we have some pamphlets about the dangers of Dark Energon to give you, and if you come to the seminar you get a free t-shirt. All you gotta do is...hey, where are ya going!? N...

This week its all about people who wanna kill each other (but in a little bit of a fruity way). Cassidy ( @whatiscosplay ) joins us this week to talk about the debut of the evil sexy spider lady Airachnid, as she tries to murder Arcee (but also does the Spider-Man kiss pose so you know something else is goin on there.) Also this week, Bumblebee Psychonauts his way into Megatron's mind, Soundwave h...

Whoa, two new Decepticons! And they didn't die during their debut episode! AND they're gay??? What a treat! This week we're covering episodes 10 and 11. Miko learns a lot about Ancient Greece, a car flirts with a truck, Jack becomes involved in the world of illegal street racing, and we come to a horrible conclusion about Cybertronian bodily fluids.

Amogus, dingus, and Wheeljack, oh my! This week friend of the pod Argyle joins us to talk about episodes 8 and 9 of Prime's first season. First, Bulkhead's old boyfrien-I mean war buddy pops by Earth for a visit, but Starscream sends a very sus imposter to take his place and get intel on Autobase. Then Fowler calls in with D.N.G.S trouble, and the Autobots find themselves in a mid series Fast and...

I assure you Starscream and Megatron have a completely normal relationship. It is absolutely regular to straddle your boss' half dead form and whisper in his ear as you tear the only thing keeping him alive out of his chest. Also this week, Bumblebee commits one of the most heinous acts of violence on the show so far, Arcee and Optimus get a little bit cold, and Raf becomes a murderer. Remember. j...

This week we're finishing 5 part premier of Transformers Prime, Darkness Rising. A lot happens in these two episodes, including Optimus tapping into his Bayverse incarnation's rampant bloodlust, Megatron using Starscream like a stress ball, the children nearly dying a whole lot, and Fowler being tortured so much he gets drunk. Anyway you don't care about that, you want to hear about the Prime DILF...

We're back with an all new season, this time covering the first season of Transformers Prime! We bring you a podcast covering Darkness Rising parts 1-3 that is nearly twice as long as the episodes themselves because Prime is Just That Good. Join us as we talk about the dangers of using devil drugs, Starscream's bottom coding, and how a 12 year old can hack into the Pentagon. And Cliffjumper is the...

Wow, its time to wrap up our first season already! Nero and Audrey look back at Transformers Armada, talking through its ups and downs while considering its strange little place in the larger Transformers franchise. Then, we go ahead and officially introduce the next season's subject; Transformers Prime season one! We go over this groundbreaking show's beginnings, its place in franchise lore, and...

We've reached the end of our first season! It's time to finally deal with Unicron once and for all! (Please ignore the other two shows within this trilogy that also deal with Unicron, please). Optimus and Galvatron contend with the Chaos Bringer personally, and it gets very fleshy very fast. Of course, even after all that is through, there's still the matter of Prime and Galvatron's fated duel to...

Dearest listeners, we are gathered here once more to mourn a beloved(?) Decepticon's passing. He was a brilliant tactician [citation needed], an unmatched warrior [citation needed], and the remarkable shape of his head brought joy to many, including us. That's right, Thrust is gone...but not forgotten. Oh and some other important stuff too happened I guess. Anyway, y'all heard about this pants4pan...

We're back with another episode of your favorite podcast chronicling the classic Nick show MLAATR in reverse order! This week's show covers episodes 7 and 6 of the second season, including some real classics like "Killgore" and "Armagedroid"! And of course, all the jokes you've come to expect from MLAAPR. You know, your favorite show about robots who can turn into other things!...

Dear listeners, I have sad news. This is not a podcast episode. This is a funeral service for our favorite edgy anime bot. Good ol Starscream has been through a lot; gaslighting, swapping loyalties, being betrayed an uncountable number of times, getting sand everywhere when he went to Mars, but rest assured he is finally at peace. He fought the moon, and the moon won. He is survived by his dickhea...

Betrayal! Time travel! Daring solo missions! GOOPY EGG SACS! This episode of Prime Cuts has it all! As we spiral ever closer to the end of Armada more of Unicron's ancient machinations are brought to light, alliances are forged, friendship is rekindled, and Thrust acts like a huge dipshit. Also, we add another ride to our Cybertronian Theme park, discuss Butterfly Effect type situations, and wonde...
