Optimus Prime returns to monkey this week on Beast Wars. In Call Of The Wild, the Maximals are locked in Beast Mode and end up acting like the animals they’re copying, leading to some really weird visuals. We also spend a moment looking at the Japanese dub of Beast Wars, which decided that this episode needed a musical number. 

After that, we tackle Dark Voyage, an episode where a blinded Dinobot, Cheetor and Rattrap are thrown into a race against time as they have to get home before their Sparks vanish. An episode that is made all the funnier by Beast Wars’ behind-the-scenes issues.

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.
