#79 – TV 25 - Day Of The Machines

The (non-sentient) machines are under an AI's control, who is also under Megatron's control!

Episode Notes

Optimus gets all the glory and screentime this episode.  Listen as we deal with the anti-climatic use of Earth’s brilliant super computer, Thomas can’t stop calling said super computer Krang, and we get a hilarious spot of racism at the episodes’ end.  Plus, a look an 11 in 1 transforming toy that houses items you would use to go camping.

How were the Transformers introduced into the world? Though this preview with interviews from Marvel Comics creators.

Marvel Age was a monthly comic magazine that showcased upcoming Marvel Comic Books. It is likely this was the first time the public learned that the Transformers were coming. We read the description and see if we would be interested based on the preview article.

#75 – The Great Car Rally Redux (Now With Cassette)

What happens when Transformers turn into vehicles and their eyes remain? Find out, while we also see Megatron drive a normal car!

Episode Notes

We read this book to you during our early episodes, but now the original audio recording has been found. Come hear how it was originally meant to be heard by the kids of America (and see how it looked with great realistic art mixed with fun awkward moments). Optimus Prime...without his faceplate? Megatron...cruising? And Cliffjumper...with eyes in his headlights? It has to be seen to be believed.

#74 – UK Audio Adventure - Espionage!!!!!

Starcream joins the Autobots? Guess how long you think the Autobots will believe he is switching sides.

Episode Notes

Starscream betrays the Decepticons to join the Autobots? Listen and hear everything once again from the Decepticon's side so you know what their planning, but you also see the Autobot side as well, and already know what they are planning, is this differently told tale of Espionage!!!!!.

And, we find out info about our UK Audio Cassette Narrator, who is someone most people would know from his current video game voice acting work, as well as tons of anime work in the 80s and 90s.

#73 – UK Audio Adventure - Menace At The Dam

The Decepticons talk about what to do, and Megatron tries to pretend he is in control.

Episode Notes

For this episode, we left in the talk of us as we set up our audio in case you ever wondered how we work. We used to use Voicemeter for the audio casette stories, but it always took us 30 minutes or more each time to set it all up again for 3 people and a seperate audio track whenever there was an update, a new mic, etc, so now I just stream the MP3 file on Discord via Windows Media Player. This Discord stream cannot be recorded by Discord's recorder bots, so I later have to drop the audio cassette file into my Audacity Audio Editor later for all of you to actually hear.

And now, on with the 3rd out of 4 UK Audio Adventure Exclusives! It's time to Menace At The Dam.
