What does it mean to be alive? Well the first of our two Beast Wars' episodes "The Trigger" answers this question with a simple and easy-to-understand answer: Big glowing balls!

Due to this, we have our first encounter with "Spark" one of the most important bits of Transformers' lore!

After that, we watch "The Trigger Part 1" where a floating island threatens to end the Beast Wars once and for all! But where did this floating rock come from, and is it covered in echidnas?

Toonami Absolution is a weekly podcast where Alyx, Jon, and Sam revisit the Toonami and Adult Swim shows that made them, and you, you.

From the block's early days with shows like Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and Transformers: Beast Wars to the imported anime that made Toonami and Adult Swim appointment television for a generation of kids, such as Cowboy Bebop, Sailor Moon, and Dragon Ball.
