The Mikes have been chewed up and spit out by these mean streets, so they're jumping into the Space Bridge Nexus, along with the enigmatic nicknameless Abbey, to unwrap the hardest-boiled episode of Transformers Animated yet: Season 3's "This Is Why I Hate Machines."

Of all the Space Bridges mounted on top of inventor's towers in New Detroit, why did Fanzone have to walk into his? Ratchet and the Motor City's toughest cop (maybe fugitive) leap across the galaxy to find a cold new era for Cybertron: the interim rule of acting Magnus, Sentinel Prime! Under the shadowy trench coat of crooked curfews and long loogies, this craven new world is one of seedy deals and back-alley snitches--and Fanzone feels right at home! As he and Ratchet literally go underground on Cybertron, the two sleuths uncover the truth about Ratchet's past, Shockwave's true colors, and the High Council's darkest secrets.

Listen in as Abbey's thoughtful insights peel back the layers of this shiny apple, exposing its rotten core. She'd never done a crazy thing til this podcast, see? Now she's on the take! Or something. Anyway, more mailbag and fluid legislation make this episode one for the record books! Let's do the TransWarp againnnnn!

As we head to space with Sentinel Prime and all the Decepticons baddies aboard the Steelhaven, we navigate through a G1 renaissance, drift past a "Human Error" recap, and lock proton torpedoes on some serious JURIS-MY-DICTION!

Nothing good happens in a flashback...

Put on your Trauma shirts, cogs, we're doing "Five Servos of Doom!" It's the seminal Transformers Animated season 3 episode that gives us the Prowl origin story we didn't even know we needed. Now with 80% more DEEP HURTING!*

Yoketron, the protoform vault, P over M--this one really has it all! We dive deep into the Arrival comics written by the Man, The Myth, The Isenberg himself for some extra lore. And, since we're middle-aged white guys hosting a podcast, of course we get existential!

Live from New Detroit...it's Saturday Night! The Mikes are once again joined by the triplet (not trio) of Autopod Decepticast to discuss the seminal sequel to their last appearance. That's right, the reunion that was once just a gleam in Caleb's eye has come to fruition...we're breaking down Transformers Animated season 3's "Where Is Thy Sting?"

The fugitive Wasp sets his sights on our resident Bumblebot! Sentinel Prime tries to drive in the rain! New heroes arrive straight outta Kazakhtron! It's a real FACE OFF!

Over a round of Fugitive Edition Stingers, 2M2F and APDC join forces to tackle the tough questions lingering since "Autoboot Camp." Questions like What is Captavity? Who is a Space Racist? And most importantly Where's Your Hammer?? All this, plus the APDC staple segments, make this a can't miss collaboration that will have the critics proclaiming "My wife!"*

*Captain Fanzone not included.

So a damaged Headmaster unit, a forklift, and an Allspark fragment fall into a pit...stop us if you've heard this one before!

Join the night crew of the Tired Transformers Meme Graveyard as we discuss the Animated season 3 episode "Three's A Crowd!"

There's a new boss in town, crime has ravaged the once peaceful streets of New Detroit, and the only one who can clean it up is Bulkhead. But a familiar pair of blue collar bots want him to say hello to their little friend!

And speaking of three's a crowd, the Mikes have brought in structural expert John to to help deconstruct the Constructicons' latest dirty job. Plus, we dip into the mail bag just a smidge.

Stick around after the credits for some deep dishing on the Transformers RPG. And pizza. (Why'd it have to be pizza??)

Shortly after we finished recording this episode, John reached out and asked if we could put a link to mental health resources on this episode and that he’d like that to be what he would plug - specifically the suicide prevention hotline.

If you are in the United States:

Call 988 or 1-800-273-8255 for immediate support.

If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency services.

For more resources and support, please visit 988lifeline.org or call your community’s crisis line.

Learn about the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and their mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide.

Lets do the TransWarped again!!

We're back for a third bite of this TransWarped sandwich, discussing Part 3 of Animated's final season opener.

Rodimus and the Rock Lords are in the rearview. All eyes are on Starscream and Megatron, Cybertron's Hottest Divorcées, as they grapple for control of Omega Supreme. Prowl DiCaprio tries some processor inception...but Optimus will be Axe King the questions around here!

Superfriends of the show Abbey and Matty B are back for some surprisingly impactful insights. And stick around for some fantastic Mike B stories involving TFA alum!

Before time began, there was the cube...of Blurr!

Once again, the extended Mikes crew gathers 'round the table, this time to discuss the "Empire" of the TransWarped trilogy. Rock lords gonna rock, Sari....*checks notes*...TRANSFORMS (?!) and things get toyetic at the Burger Bot...you know, the BURGER BOT! 

We also get deep about A.I. and spill a little tea about voice casting. It's the hot dish you didn't know you wanted and we didn't know we were making! Plus, a round up of everyone's fave cameos, deep thoughts, and all your usual favorite bits.

PSA: If the DNA goes through the glove, you could end up with a liquid metal baby.
