Talking Over Transformers

As the world gathered outside to prepare for the possible annihilation of an entire civilization, as prayers and cries rang out from every corner of the Earth begging us to cherish our shared humanity - we took the easy route & watched cartoons instead. The wheels of history continue grinding on as we drink unsafe amounts of coffee and watch:
   Super-God Masterforce (超-神 マスターフォース) [1988]
Then, after finishing and totally winning Cyberverse, our other little robot saga continues to roll right along. Winning never gets tiring... So i'm not sure what you'd call this, but the next show we talked over is called:
   Transformers: Cyberworld [2026]
Listen to the podcast boys struggle to understand modern concepts like computer animation, learn the age of one of their favorite comic writers, and come to terms with their own sense of the fragility of mortality. And as always, we review toys, discuss stories in the news from last Monday, and there is at least one public service announcement warning us of the dangers of falling off a cliff. 
Tune in for a bungled military operation, stay for a daring rescue!

Eschewing our Supergod duties this week, we instead decide to watch every single episode of the entire fourth season of:
   Transformers: Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures [2021]
in this, our Cyberverse Show-is-Ending Special! We get bogged down re-meeting The Immobilizers (again), and we discover who The Perfect Decepticon is in the fourth & final season of this computer-animated series developed by Boulder Media. Debuting on Cartoon Network in 2018 and ending in 2021, the show covers a lot of ground focusing on character mythology, and all-in-all, pretty good show. We do all of our usual stuff too if you like that.... We tell you what we think about the headlines from the past week while the show we're supposed to be watching plays in the background. We review Transformers figures & maybe other toys too. We share secrets. 
See what happens when three people with ADD get together & try to pay attention to 2 things at once!   Sometimes it's funny ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After another week of winning harder than a malignant tumor recurrence, we decided to wind down with a little show we call:
   Super-God Masterforce (超-神 マスターフォース) [1988]
I mean, we call it that because that's the name of the show. Anyways, we dwell in the depths that are the final 3 episodes in the penultimate season of:
   Cyberverse [2020]
That's the surface we play on. We do other stuff too but i'm too tired to remember what it was & this episode is already coming out like three days late & no one's gonna read this anyway, so why bother. Enjoy the show. Have a good day and a pleasant evening

Computer on-board, engaged in a war. Our metal brains corrode while Psychotron smiles his black-toothed grin, as we dance like marionettes before the head explodes. That's right - in this episode we target to destroy, arms in employ because we meet one of the most 🤘metal🤘 Transformers we've seen in a while on this week's exciting episodes of:
   Super-God Masterforce (超-神 マスターフォース) [1988]
Then, the boys journey to prehistoric Cybertron and discover the Valley of Repugnus before Rack ruins Ratchet, in:
   Cyberverse [2020]
It's also that time of the month for Forrest; the time where he reads comics to us because the new issue of the best Transformers comic ever has just been released:
   Skybound's Transformers [2026]
Apart from thoroughly enjoying the very very controversial issue number 30, we watch a public service announcement about the DANGERS of ICE and take a quiz over the shows we just watched. Along the way we also have an epiphany about Dave Mustaine's lyrical inspiration, contemplate a world of tube-fed information charged by the hour, explore a recent interview with the Cocks in charge of Hasbro, and laugh at the dork in charge of the US defense department. Join for the figure reviews, stay to warm your hands by the fire of burning klan robes! 
À tous mes amis 
Je vous aime, je dois partir

We come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them... Aw man; re-runs again? The writers of history are really running out of ideas. So we turn to 80s cartoons for inspiration! We start off by saving a little girl in the episode "Save the Little Girl!!" of:
   Super-God Masterforce (超-神 マスターフォース) [1988]
(There's also a 2nd episode.) Then, we hunt aliens with Meteorfire & Cosmos and meet a transforming cowboy in:
   Cyberverse [2020]
 Later, we learn that taking things that don't belong to you is just wrong. And now we know! Along the way, we remember all the best jokes from childhood, watch some Simpsons clips, and discuss the decline & fall of empire.
 ...And men have lost their reason. Bear with me

It's another steamy, sultry edition of Talking Over Transformers: After Dark! We head to France as the search for the fourth Godmaster brings both Autobots and Decepticons to the Rouen Circuit, where the Formula1 World Grand Prix is about to begin. Browning passes a background check, and our Headmaster Juniors meet the "British Wolf" - champion racer Road King - in:
   Super-God Masterforce (超-神 マスターフォース) [1988]
Then we dig into the secrets of the mystical Crystal City over on:
   Cyberverse [2020]
And finally, we assume something happens but can't know for sure because our ADD won't let us focus, plus no one was paying attention to:
   Cyberworld [2026]
We talk over these shows and other fun surprises, such as legendary hockey highlights & maybe even a PSA or two. We take things slow & let the air breathe during this late-night recording session. So kick back, sip on your favorite herbal refreshment, and, in the immortal words of En Vogue... free your mind

Death to monopoly! Death to unfair contracts! Seriously though; good riddance, Diamond Distributors. You won't be missed. Unlike Sixshot, who was missed very much until this week. Thankfully he's back in the second episode we talk over of:
   Super-God Masterforce (超-神 マスターフォース) [1988]
Then we continue the End of the Universe, only to find out we slept through the whole thing. Again! Thankfully we get a recap of everything we missed in:
   Cyberverse [2020]
We watch a PSA or two and then, thankfully, it's time for a fairly uneventful walk through issue #29 of our favorite ongoing comic:
   Skybound's The Transformers [2026]
Along the way we laugh at ICE, reminisce about Vietnam, and share in some primal scream therapy. Also, our quiz this week is all about SPAAAAACCCE! (and we definitely didn't steal anything from Silverhawks) 
You can listen to it if you want. You don't have to

Super balls & cocaine are in the air, because we're boosting the economy with some Iran-Contra business and watching the only non-partisan, third-party halftime show on TV. While Optimus Prime plays basketball we meet the 2nd most famous Canadian on Earth, in:
   Super-God Masterforce (超-神 マスターフォース) [1988]
Later on, we drink alone together and take a big sigh of relief after learning that Vince DiCola is not in the files. On our own counter-entertainment programming, we talk over the first half of the End of the Universe while watching:
   Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures [2020] 
We journey thousands of years across vast galaxies -- to learn how to do sick jumps on our bikes! I'm sure we also review some toys and skim the headlines in here at some point. It is unfortunately all epstein all the time though. Come stop yourself from crying with us... for a little while at least

New epstein file drop!! Who's your favorite rich and/or powerful person? They're in there! These aren't Democrats or Republicans, Godly or Satanic - these are the 0.001% who own 3x more of the world's wealth than half of humanity. While the masters of the universe continue to make and unmake our world, we head out to Gobbler’s Knob and talk over the new TV star, Ginrai! We're being hunted by the Decepticons & taking on the evils of science in:

Then, are we the only ones talking about this? Filling a crucial void in the world of Transformers cartoon coverage, we talk over:
   Cyberworld [2026]
We also review some toys, sing some songs, and predict the future! Need a break from reality? Well the stakes are about as low as they can get on this podcast. Come for the PSA on stranger danger, stay for the arguments about the quality of media in the Aligned continuity

The fascism which has terrorized urban areas my entire life has come to the doorsteps of the suburbs. Masked, armed lunatics are dancing around brutalizing small communities all over America. It's inescapable. You can close your eyes during the day, but the images of witnessed inhumanity will keep you awake at night. The eyes of the world are open to atrocity. Will you deny your own humanity to avoid discomfort? The world is on fire. The least we can do is call it out on our stupid little show about cartoon robots. With that said - drop your socks & grab your trucks... it's:
   Super-God Masterforce (超-神 マスターフォース) [1988]
Then, will The Prisoner survive The Trial? Find out, in:
   Cyberverse [2020]
And finally, we take omens seriously around here - Omens Studios that is! The animation studio behind:
   Cyberworld [2026]
We also learn some very, very basic lessons from Cpl. Ripcord of the 101st Airborne Parachute Regiment. We take a bathroom break, get some tea, regroup and learn what is going on in the Energon comic Universe with issue number 28 of:
   Skybound's Transformers [2026]
Keep your heads up out there. We're all doing what we can. Don't beat yourself up. Get your eyes tested every two years! Do not drink water though. That sh*t is the devil
