Prime Cuts

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...

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...
