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.

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!!!!!.

#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.

#72 – Sticker Book - Revenge Of The Decepticons

The Autobots have to find their missing oil, all while you put stickers on them!

Episode Notes

How is this simple story from a 16 page stickerbook? What can be told, colored, and stickered in that amount of space? Plus, The very first line is of Cliffjumper being trigger-happy, which only supports everything Thomas believes about him. Shawn's worst Autobots, Gears and Huffer, show up with...gasp...dialogue! It's the worst Transformers in a story about the mystery of the stolen oil.

Plus, we try to find out if one Autobot is Optimus Prime, despite the fact that he left already; is it a Clone? A mix of Gears and Optimus due to having to learn so many characters? Let's find out!

#71 – TV 24 - Atlantis, Arise!

Megatron and Subatlanticans join forces to take over Washington, DC, and then, the world!

Episode Notes

Thomas tries to figure out the Subatlantican's process of communicating based on the animation. Shawn wonders how Spike went underwater in a car with multiple costume changes, how Bumblebee emptied water from his car while underwater, and why Spike has a regular snorkle that should drown him, yet also has an air tank on his back not connected to anything. Madness only in this episode of fish psychics. Plus, a look at 2 cool official Transformers toys from 1984 and 1985, a Race Car Set and a Train Set!

#70 – TV 23 - The Autobot Run

The Autobots race for charity, only to find themselves trapped in car form when the Decpticons attack.

Episode Notes

The Autobots race for charity, only to find themselves trapped in car form when the Decpticons attack. Thrill, as we get off topic a lot, because this was our most boring episode for us. However, stay tuned (at 57:00) for the Character Spotlight on Optimus Prime, as we finish the Spotlight on every Season 1 Autobot.

Ghostbusters Optimus Prime Optimus Prime Movie Figure (Sleep Mode / Dead Mode) Q-Transformers Optimus Prime Golden Lagoon Episode Optimus Prime Playstation Optimus Prime

#68 – Peril From The Stars (Adventure Game Book [UK])

A fun Choose Your Own Adventure story that uses time consistently.

Episode Notes

So, you can't use 'Choose Your Own Adventure' because it is copyrighted? Then go with 'Find Your Fate'. Oh, an American Company already registered that, too. Ok. Let's go with 'Adventure Book.' Too generic to copyright? Well, it's a game, right? Lets go with 'Adventure Game Book' (I assume this is how this was created).

So is this a knock-off UK Choose Your Own Adventure Book? Or is it a well-crafted story that uses time to interact with the story in a consistent fashion (that description was pretty specific)? So let's control your human child avatar, hook-up with Jazz, and try to save your Aunt & Uncle. Let the Adventure (Game Book) begin!
