My name is Optimus Prime, and I send this message into the internet, in the hopes of finding listeners interested in a critical and cultural look at the history of the Transformers. Matthew, Alli, and Kati spend several million astro-seconds discussing not only the new Michael Bay film Age of Extinction, but also the entire first season of the original 1984 animated television series which started it all. What are the ethics of robots creating robots? How and why are Transformers gendered? What the hell is a “matrix of leadership” or a “vector sigma,” anyway? These noble flesh-creatures answer those questions and more, so listen, Earthlings, and learn.
P.S. This episode is spoiler-heavy throughout, because, y’know, it’s Transformers.
