After two years of being away, we are finally returning to Jasper, Nevada.

As we say goodbye to the rotten year of 2025 (good riddance), we must also say goodbye to the greatest season of television ever created. G1 season 2 is an entirely unhinged, nonsensical, at times funny on purpose (but usually not) clusterfuck of a show. It is the true essence and embodiment of Reagan era toy commercial tv in all the best and worst ways. So as we dread the barbaric yearly tradition of crushing thousands of New Yorkers under the Ball, we reminisce about peak, give out some awards, and announce where this podcast's next stop is going to be.

In a pair of shockingly competent and relatively well-written episodes, all the frustrations the Dinobots have had about being the Autobots' get out of plot free cards finally comes home to roost in a two parter that sees Carly and Spike go to Cybertron to save everyone from a sudden onset of Cybertonium poisoning.
