Bah Weep Granagh Weep Nini Bong! Welcome to this week's episode of Transformers AutoBook club, a weekly video and podcast series where we read and deep dive into one issue or story per week from Marvel's Transformers comics!

A three part U.K. story this week with multiple writers and artists! It's a wobbly one that has some questionable decisions made by certain characters (Or...Writers...) once again, but it also has some great points to make, some really good moments and possibly my favorite image of Prime so far.

Bah Weep Granagh Weep Nini Bong! Welcome to this week's episode of Transformers AutoBook club, a weekly video and podcast series where we read and deep dive into one issue or story per week from Marvel's Transformers comics!

I've got a real doozy for you this week, this story is just bizarre and full of bonkers decisions. It's a Christmas story, which is a bit unseasonable, given that this episode is coming out on April 1st 2026, but because it's so closely linked to the events of recent issues, it really only makes sense to cover this story now. I will say though, it might make a reappearance in December 2026 because of how much it made me laugh, I had so much fun reading this absolute nonsense.

00:00 - 02:37 - Greetings, some good personal news!

Bah Weep Granagh Weep Nini Bong! A bittersweet episode of TFABC this week, it's Justin's (https://linktr.ee/ironageofcomics) third and final episode for this three part residency, though I'm sure it's only a matter of time until I ask him to come back. This issue, Buster takes even more potential damage to his brain, Prime, rightfully, loses his temper, and, for all the smart moves Shockwave has been making, the Decepticon cause is dealt a massive blow!

Bah Weep Granagh Weep Nini Bong! This episode marks the beginning of Justin's (https://linktr.ee/ironageofcomics) three episode residency! Another bumper episode with some surprising conversations and realisations along the way, it's another that I think is a really good one! In this week's issue Huffer is homesick, Soundwave gets an extreme upgrade, and Bomber Bill charms his way into my heart.

Bah Weep Granagh Weep Nini Bong! This week's Transformers AutoBook Club features a very interesting guest, and I couldn't have hoped for a more perfect fit for the delicate subject matter in this issue! This time Josie Beller takes center stage, which would have been a cool, dramatic reveal... if they hadn't used it as the cover image. My guest, poet, teacher, author and comics scholar Michael VonCalbergh and I carefully navigate the... Complicated debut of Circuit Breaker, with a healthy dash of related comics chat! This is a mammoth episode, but I hope you'll agree, an interesting and fun one!

Bah Weep Granagh Weep Nini Bong! Welcome, Autobuddies and Deceptichums to another solo, U.K. story episode of Transformers AutoBook Club! Please excuse my very odd voice and possible wonky energy levels this episode, I was deep into a bout of what I think was bronchitis, but I still managed to put an episode together for you this week! This time the dinobots get revenge for Swoop, though not in the way you might be expecting, there are two... potential deaths, and Ratchet doubles down on being a jerk in the U.K. comics.

00:00 - 02:21 - Greetings, I'm sick, the meaning of success, and boob-y robots?

Bah Weep Granagh Weep Nini Bong! Picking right up from last week's cliffhanger, we discover the fate of Swoop and the other Autobots after Shockwave took control of the ark and reprogrammed the gargantuan metal hulk, Guardian, to serve him. Ratchet needs an attitude adjustment, and Guardian, for some reason, thinks it can be stealthy!? All five tonnes of him!?

Bah Weep Granagh Weep Nini Bong! We're back in merry ol' England again this week for a solo episode covering the two part Marvel U.K. Transformers story, "Decepticon Dam-Busters!" This one is the closest to anything in the G1 cartoon we've seen from the comics so far, so close in fact that several shots and lines of dialogue are identical. Ratchet explains to the Dinobots why humans are so fearful of the Autobots, despite the fact that they only try to help the humans, by telling the story of a Decepticon attack on a dam. At the end of his story, a painful surprise awaits for Swoop, Josie Beller's plans are revealed, and so is the next move G.B. Blackrock plans to make.

Welcome back Autobuddies and Deceptichums! It's a very special episode of Transformers AutoBook Club this week, my guest is a voice actor at Universal Studios, and though we can't tell you his exact role there, take a listen to his incredible voice and see if you can figure it out! He's also a musician and artist, it's the multi-talented polymath Johnny Schwinn!

After some chat about his amazing work at Universal Studios, Johnny and I read through Transformers issue 8 "Repeat Performancel!" Ratchet's first fight as a warrior ends in victory! Though it's debatable how much of it he can really take credit for. Josie Beller's plans begin to come to fruition, and Buster... Isn't in it at all. Could this be the end for Megatron!? (No.)

00:00 - 35:47 - Greetings, Transformers chat with Jonny Schwinn
