After three seasons and a movie, we've reached the end of Transformers Prime. Who were our favorite characters? What had we forgotten about since the show first aired? And will we ever see a main-line Transformers series go quite so dark? Join us this week as we share some final thoughts on the series!

Unicron and his army of slow-moving but also surprisingly fast reanimated Predacons are marching on the Well of All Sparks! Can the Autobots stop them? How about the Decepticons? The remaining living Predacons, maybe? When is this "rising" going to happen? Do you think we could get one more noble Optimus sacrifice in here for good measure before the series ends? Join us this week for the final par...

Unicron may be stuck in Megatron's relatively tiny body, but that's not going to stop him from trying to kill Primus -- he's just gonna need more zombies! If only there was a convenient recently-unearthed field of Predacon "bones" for him to use... Join us this week for the second part of Transformers Prime’s concluding movie, “Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising”!

Three seasons and a movie! Megatron was totally defeated, and all the zombie blood he'd injected himself with just isn't relevant at all, right? Lol no. Unicron has a use for Megatron's body, and it's time to go kill God whether Megatron's eternal soul likes it or not! Meanwhile, Optimus needs to find the Allspark if he wants to revive Cybertron, but somehow that's the one artifact that didn't end...

David's sick, Jen's apartment-hunting, and Rob's...doing Canadian things, so we're taking a break before Predacons Rising and offering up another special from our Patreon back catalog, Kemono Friends episode 5, "Lake"! Thoughts and prayers for David's throat, y'all.

It's the end of the line for Transformers Prime (more or less) as the Autobots and Decepticons have a final showdown on the Nemesis! Who lives, who dies, who gets banished to the shadow zone, and who switches sides? Join us this week for the final episode, "Deadlock"! (But don't worry, there's still a movie coming!)

With the help of Raf's adorable drone Chip, the Autobots are ready to storm the Nemesis and save Ratchet! But can they get there before the Decepticons get the Synth En formula? Will Predaking get his revenge? Seriously, how does Optimus fly with all that chonk? Join us this week for the penultimate episode of Transformers Prime, "Synthesis"!

The Decepticons need Ratchet to perfect his Synth En so they can restore the Omega Lock, but can they convince him to help knowing what they plan to do with it in addition to the whole restoring Cybertron thing? How few f**ks does Megatron give that he's not even going to bother to lie about it? And why does the Synth En just look like jars full of pee now? Join us this week for the antepenultimat...

The lab full of Predacons has been destroyed, but the Decepticons are still very enthusiastic about being terrible at the scientific method! But if they're going to figure out how to stabilize synthetic Energon, they're going to need someone who's actually GOOD at science -- they're going to have to kidnap Ratchet! Meanwhile, the Autobots have managed to capture Soundwave, but is he trapped in the...

The Decepticons realize they got more than they bargained for with their pet dragon as the self-declared "Predaking" starts making plans to take over the army of clones growing in Shockwave's lab. Can they thwart his ambitions without turning his fire breath on them? Where will the Decepticons ever find someone who's good at deceit and backstabbing? And can Ultra Magnus learn to fit in with Team P...

Scheduling has still been a mess, but we'll soon be back to more-or-less normal with the next episode of Transformers Prime on Stasis Pod, a new episode of Iacon Underground Radio, and -- most exciting of all! -- an episode of Superhuman Samurai Syber Pod with guest host Christine Love from Love Conquers All Games ! For now, enjoy an episode from our Patreon specials about Kemono Friends episode 3...

Just in time for Halloween Season, we have a dark tale of mad science, desecrated corpses, and zombie-vampire-robots! When Starscream discovers Knock Out has been keeping Cylas around for experimentation, he suggests what they really need to add to his Synth En-fueled monster is Dark Energon! Is this the worst idea anyone has ever had? Does Knock Out even know how actual science works? And can the...

While Arcee talks to Wheeljack about his relationship problems over the deactivated corpses of some Vehicons, June Darby and Agent Fowler get kidnapped by Knock Out while trying to retrieve another Predacon fossil from a museum! Who's shipping what, and who is so not comfortable being in a Greg Weisman episode? Join us this week for "Plus One"! We want to hear your questions! Email us at stasispod...

The beginning of what will become the Vok meta-plot! When Optimus Primal is seemingly destroyed by a strange alien probe, who will lead the Maximals? ...Wait, no, not that "Chain of Command". As Starscream plays "How To Train Your Dragon" with the newly-defrosted Predacon, Ultra Magnus is playing "How To Train Your Wheeljack"! Can Bulkhead cool everyone's tempers before Wheeljack decides to break...

Agent Fowler gives an Autobot an altmode for once, Megatron has answers to the questions everyone's asking, and the Autobots tussle with Shockwave and Soundwave over some Predacon bones! Can Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus resist the urge to murder each other? Can Smokescreen let that whole Chosen One thing go? Would Shockwave be a better fighter if he had an angry eyebrow? Join us this week for "Proje...

Team Prime is ready to take the fight to Darkmount, but Prime himself is on the verge of making a very bad decision! Can Smokescreen save Prime's life before he's saddled with The Burden Hardest To Bear? Would it really have been so much trouble to animate that matte-painting Alpha Trion just a little? And why did Darkmount have a convenient window for Magnus to jump through!? Join us this week fo...

The Decepticons send their new pet dragon out to hunt for some Autobots, Bulkhead and Wheeljack deduce that the best way to let the others know where they are is random explosions, and Smokescreen goes looking for the Forge of Solus Prime because when it comes down to it, the IDEA of being the protagonist is a lot more fun than actually BEING it! Can Smokey save Optimus before all this becomes HIS...

As the episode title quality takes a sharp nosedive, the Autobots and their human friends try to reconnect without tipping off the Decepticons. But Megatron has some very logical help from Cybertron! Which kid makes the mistake of breaking comms silence first? (It's not who you'd expect!) Has the loss of their base turned Optimus full goth? And wasn't it nice living in the good old days before we...

After using the Omega Lock to create a new Darkmount on Earth, Megatron is ready for war -- but first he has to find some Autobots to fight! Can they torture the information out of Wheeljack? Or will Soundwave be able to track them down? Has losing the battle for the Omega Lock pushed Prime into full goth mode? And hey, remember when cell phones didn't constantly track all your location data and u...

It's time to take another break between seasons for some random other thing that's tangentially related to our main topic, and this time it's the Star Trek: Voyager episode guest-starring both Jeffrey Combs AND The Rock! How much latex gets glued to their faces? How well does this show hold up nearly 20 years later? And who's going to be launching our next podcast, "My Mom Wrote A Kirk/Spock Slash...

The Autobots have all four Omega Keys, but the Decepticons have the kids! Does Megatron really want to restore Cybertron, or does he have a different plan for the Omega Lock's power? How much is Optimus willing to sacrifice to stop him? And can they work in this season's quota of TFTM references? Join us this week for the final episode of Transformers Prime season 2, "Darkest Hour"! We want to hea...

With all four Omega Keys accounted for, both the Autobots and the Decepticons are ready to be movin' on to their planet of Cybertron! But first they have to tie up some loose ends, upgrade some equipment, and, uh, figure out what "keys" are for. Can the Autobots take the keys and restore Cybertron, or will Megatron get to declare himself their world's savior? And how will the kids get home from sc...

If you've gotta make a clip episode, you can do worse than making one focused on Starscream. Will Megatron allow his traitorous second back into the fold after taking a stroll through his memories? Who else does Starscream have incriminating memories of? Remember that time he desecrated Dreadwing's brother's corpse? Awkward! Join us this week for "Patch"! We want to hear your questions! Email us a...

The show takes a sudden turn toward body horror as the Autobots and Decepticons alike learn the location of the final Cyber Planet Omega Key is INSIDE SMOKESCREEN. WHAT THE HELL!? Will learning he was Alpha Trion's drug mule make him more or less insufferable? What's the most Rodimus thing he could do to escape from the Decepticons? What unexpected twist will decide the fate of the full set of key...

As the search for the Omega Keys continues, Smokescreen has become insufferable, Knock Out gets a chance to shine, and Megatron tries to figure out why the Autobots are after these things anyway. Can Smokescreen learn some humility before Arcee teaches him with her fists? What's Starscream planning for that red Energon? And can Bulkhead even reach his own back? Join us this week for "Hard Knocks"!...
