Transformers Armada ends with a whimper, not a bang. Quite literally, Unicron doesn’t even explode!

The battle finally gets to Cybertron, and somehow becomes even more confusing than ever before. Meanwhile, Michael is simply tired of talking about this show, Peter is disappointed by the ending, and both hosts revel in the knowledge that they’ll never have to watch another episode of Transformers: Armada.

Also included: the magic act of the Minicons, forgetting to mention a last-minute retitling, the toll of Transformers: Armada

Reinforcements arrive for both sides, which means we have even more opportunities for accidental misnaming.

Transformers continue fighting over their smaller cousins despite the Minicons not wanting to fight anymore. Meanwhile, Michael is even more dumbfounded by the lack of characterization for the Minicons considering their relative importance, Peter appreciates a rare moment of normal writing, and both hosts are overwhelmed by the sheer number of new characters. But at least they aren’t just Minicons.

Also included: redundant McGuffin names, endless betrayals, and even more dialogue mistakes!

The inevitable result of a show’s dub premiering before the show itself.

Also included: nonsensical dialogue exchanges, the Squeaky-Voiced Teen gets his series debut, is Hotshot prejudiced against Minicons?

Nothing says “writing a direct sequel” like being forbidden from watching the original show.

This week, Michael and Peter discuss the totally atonal sequel to Beast Wars.

NOTE: The three-part “Revelations” episodes Michael was referring to are actually episodes 7-9, rather than episodes 6-8 as claimed.
