Here comes a banger! To make up for wasting an episode on GoBots, Andy and Phil have a TON to say about this one. The philosophy behind valuing all sparks, possible biblical allusions, and Rhinox, Cheetor, and Airazor being the most awesome trio of characters ever to be featured in a single episode of television, maybe?

Also, Apetimus stops by to let us know how his banana consumption is affecting his bathroom routine.

Andy and Phil prank the listener (and, perhaps, their own download stats) by discussing the very first episode of Challenge of the GoBots, "Battle for Gobotron." We all definitely remember the GoBots, right?

Bonus April Fools prank: Andy's audio is worse than usual! (It'll be better again next time.)

It's the one with the clone of Dinobot, which prompts a number of questions. Can you clone a robot? Can you EAT a clone of a robot? SHOULD you eat the clone of a robot? IF you ate the clone of a robot, would you share, or would you want all that sweet clone of a robot for yourself? It's our most philosophical episode to date!

Rhinox is kidnapped and turned into a Predacon, but Megatron might be getting more than he bargained for. And Phil and Andy wonder, what does it mean to truly go FULL Apetimus?

As the Maximals race to send a message home so they can be rescued, Phil and Andy probe (get it?) some other important issues, like prostate exams, whether Dinobot feels like he belongs with the Maximals, and just how awesome Apetimus would be as an action movie star.

Optimus goes full Apetimus when Scorponok hits him with a virus that ramps his aggression up to 11. Will the other Maximals be able to bring him back to his senses, or will he stay bananas for fighting forever?

Also, Phil and Andy mildly delve into some or the societal problems that come from pitting members of the proletariat against each other.

It's Transformers meets Die Hard as Rattrap deals with the Maximals' malfunctioning new defense system, and Apetimus deals with some seriously hurt feelings. Phil and Andy discuss the very real '90's phenomenon of broken machines opening, closing, and turning evil.

Confronted with the difficult question of whether or not Rattrap is a mole for the Predacons, the Maximals conclude that it's nothing a quick banishment to the lava fields won't solve. Phil levels an accusation against Andy.

The Maximals and Predacons race to reach a stasis pod, and Andy and Phil debate what a protoform and slag are, exactly.

And that's why you always carry rope.
