For our first-ever episode on Hasbro's long-lived toyline starring a race of autonomous robotic organisms, we start with one of the least-loved and most overlooked lines of all its history. Transformers Energon featured gimmicks pulled willy-nilly from all over Transformers' timeline. It was a kitchen sink of ideas, and not all of them worked. We pick out our favorite powerlinxing Autobots, hyper mode Decepticons, and try to decide why Energon is mostly forgotten in this era of hyper-marketed nostalgia.
