Prime Cuts

This week the foul machinations of Unicron have us seeing double with the introduction of an evil Optimus clone that's basically a giant gorilla with magic powers and a huge sword. Bad news is that all our pals get absolutely curbstomped. Good news is they have fresh drip (THAT YOU CAN NOW BUY IN STORES)! Then we finally make it to Cybertron and things seem pretty dire, especially with the giant b...

Excuse me, but do you have time to hear about our lord and savior Optimus Prime? Did you know that after three episodes he was risen? Well here, I have a podcast for you to listen to. This week we're covering episodes 41 and 42 of Transformers Armada. Things are picking up as we enter the final stage of this show. Unicron is FINALLY mentioned by name, the Autobots build the galaxy's most phallic s...

Armada is hurtling towards its conclusion, so you know what that means; its time to kill Optimus Prime! There's nothing that dude loves more than a heroic sacrifice that leaves a generation of children traumatized. We've also got some primo Thrust and Megatron scenes, cool space stunts, extreme angst, and a final act mcguffin out of nowhere! Join us as we record one of the MANY deaths of Optimus P...

Sorry folks, when there's a planet destroying spaceship in play the Star Wars references just sort of happen. This week Starscream reaches the "double-doublecross" stage of his Sasuke arc, Alexis learns what depression is, Thrust tells Starscream the tale of Darth Plagueis, and Megatron lovingly strokes the Requiem Blaster. We are officially in The Good Bit of Transformers Armada, so str...

Starscream is in what the experts (us) call his 'Sasuke Phase' this week, as he angsts about his changing loyalties, clashing with the Autobot philosophy, and getting his entire ass pulled off by Tidal Wave. Also features exciting base invasions, Mars field trips with your snippy ex-boyfriend, Sideways putting all sorts of ideas in Thrust's cone-shaped head, and Tidal Wave being too thicc for the...

We're in the back half of Transformers Armada now and we've finally reached what we like to call The Good Stuff(tm). This week they kill a bot on live TV, Sideways continues to be a creepypasta, Optimus gives Shockwave top surgery, Starscream finally becomes the tragic anime edgelord he was always meant to be, and we lose all of our subscribers by posting Megatron/Thrust on main. Speaking of Thrus...

Strap in for a jam packed triple episode edition of Prime Cuts as we cover Armada's only true two parter. The kids spirit away the Space Minicon Team for some Home Alone type nonsense, then Hot Shot gets a blast from the past. Also, Alexis is set down her path to become the first Gamer Girl President, we talk at length about Wheeljack's incredibly stupid weapons, make far too many Metal Gear jokes...

We're all about answering BIG questions this week. What if a guy was huge? What if there were three small guys who could turn into a gun but they didn't want to be a gun? What if Thrust's head had to be censored for publication? Why did G1 Megatron keep Starscream around anyway? All these and many more BIG questions shall be answered, in a BIG way.

In every relationship there are two kinds of people; the one who wears the pants, and the one who is the pants. Jetfire is apparently the latter. This week we learn all about our newest Autobot recruit, and how good he is at fighting in midair (and how bad the animators are at animating it). Then someone finally says "Hey, the guy named 'Doubleface' is probably some kind of weird traitor, rig...

Folks, the show was good and fun this week! The kids get sucked into a vaporwave album cover by Sideways and see all sorts of insane shit, and then the worlds most fucked up looking guy arrives to take tactical command of the Decepticons. Oh and also his name is THRUST. So come join us as we roast the shit out of this weird posh squidhead this week on PRIME CUTS. Noise Space | Discord

Have you ever wondered what Eddy from Ed Edd n Eddy would sound like giving an impassioned cry for peace and understanding in the middle of a war zone? Well, now you know! This week Megatron displays a startling amount of competency, and immediately throws it all away by trying to beat Starscream to death and getting absolutely bamboozled by his resident super trustworthy guy Sideways. And I'm sur...

This is an episode full of HARD GUYS doing HARD STUFF. We get a new cast member, who is obviously COOL and SUPER HARD. We got a new Mini-Con weapon which is a REALLY HARD shield. We got an old man over here who goes HARD AS HELL while the animation completely falls apart around him (hey don't you know that animating flight is HARD?!) Oh, and Sparkplug speaks english, which is mostly just kinda cre...

Wow, a kid named Shaun being in grave danger around a bunch of construction equipment while his dad repeatedly yells his name? Somebody add "plagiarizing transformers anime" to David Cage's long long list of crimes. Also we get to know our new grumpy grandpa Scavenger, Carlos reveals the true depths of his stupidity, and Megatron beats the shit out of his troops for literally no raisin....

It's a revolving door of allegiances this week as Sideways "shockingly" reveals himself to be a turncoat, Scavenger shockingly reveals himself to be a double agent, and Megatron gaslights the fuck out of his own troops for fun. Also have you ever wondered what Pokemon the cast of Armada would be, or if the Decepticons were at all involved in 9/11? Good news, we have answers for you! Keep...

It's a wild one this week as Armada shifts into full macguffin finding gear. We get two new additions to the cast, an anime sword duel, a CONSPICUOUS MOTORCYCLE_,_ and further proof that people in New York do not give a SHIT about giant robots standing around. Also, have you been wondering 'Gee, how do these robots fuck'? Well good news! Audrey will tell you all about it. Come for the badass bulld...

This week on Prime Cuts: Armada finally figures out what a plot is and decides to have one, Rad receives a huge loredump from Optimus, we question the stealth capabilities of 40 foot tall tank robots, Red Alert proves to be a grade A sicko, and everybody is after a Very Cool Sword. Also Starscream has a very bad day. Again. Noise Space | Discord

This week the show finally develops a plot beyond "find some guys" as we get some lore on these Mini-Con weapons from a long dead Atlantean Princess, whom the boys have a huge crush on of course. We also hear Alexis' thoughts on infrastructure planning, get menaced by a New York sewer crane, and tack another near death experience onto these poor kids. Optimus you GOTTA hire a babysitter...

Grab your Touch Tone Telephones listeners, because we're diving into some ancient aliens this this week on Transformers Armada. Also, Optimus, my man, my guy, we GOTTA talk about you bringing a bunch of 12 year olds onto the battlefield. It's just not viable dude. You KNOW Megatron has the Child Torture Orb in his back pocket. On this week's episode learn all about Egyptian spider droids, the dipl...

Transformers Armada is a land of contrasts. Sometimes you get an episode where a character's ambitions and goals are fulfilled in a satisfying way and our heroes fight to uphold the safety of nature. Other times you get a fucking clownshow about carnival hi jinks. This week hear all about Starscream having a good time for once, Rad's surprising turn as an environmentalist, Hot Shot itching to shoo...

With the setup out of the way Armada can finally focus on what REALLY matters; finding little guys. As they go through episodes 4 and 5 of Transformers Armada Nero and Audrey ask the tough questions, such as: Is it wise to bring three middle schoolers into a robot war zone? What part does a Fusion Cannon play in Cybertronian lovemaking? Is Optimus a Dad or an Uncle? Why is Starscream Like That? Th...

Don't you hate it when you're just hangin' with your boys and you accidentally reignite a long dormant civil war between factions of space faring transforming robots? Really bums me out bro. This week we're covering Transformers Armada episodes 1-3, and trying to talk about the episodes we watched between tangents about other Transformers media. Beware the consequences of White Boy Wednesday, and...

In the inaugural episode of their trip across the decades of toyetic Transformers television, Nero and Audrey talk about their histories with the franchise. That mostly means going on tangents about the IDW comics and Transformers Prime, and talking about who their favorite franchise character is (Spoilers, its Starscream). Tune in next week for the true beginning of our Transformers Armada advent...
