Description

This is the journey of two old friends revisiting the original Transformers show, episode by episode. Evan is a die-hard fan of the franchise from his wee years to present. Ed isn't really a fan, but likes a lot of adjacent properties, so he is watching as a fan of toys, sci-fi, and cartoons, but not Transformers. We guys (and occasionally maybe a gal) will be going through each episode and looking at it with adult eyes to see if it holds up or if it is an odd nostalgia trap.

Boo and Evan get back to the final story arc of The Challenge of the GoBots with the episode called, "Quest for the Creator." The episode gets way into the world building and the lore of the entire GoBots Universe. The episode continues to show really great animation models and, once again, the Heavy Metal quality of the animation when we introduce a GoBeing from the early days of their civilization.If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!Edhatestransformers@gmail.comMorethanmeetstheseguys@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

Boo and Evan have something important to tell you all. Evan has been harboring a terrible secret all of these years, and it's time to come clean. All of these years of collecting Transformers has been a cover for Evan's true love, GoBots. After all of this time, it had to come out. Evan hasn't been sleeping from the guilt.

Yes! Ed and Evan have finally tackled the infamous "Cold Slither," and boy does it pay off big time. This episode was amazingly fun and weird and felt oddly prescient. Is it bad enough or good enough to break Ed?

This week Ed has some personal things to attend to, so the magnificent bastard Zab joins Evan for a lesson on Gundam, and...let me just say, they're using the broad strokes approach and it's still a long episode.

The guys take a break this week to help break up the beast that is Season 2 of Transformers to review the 1988 Masamune Shirow OVA of Appleseed!

Boo and Evan sit down for a conversation with fan favorite and Story Editor of half of our childhood, Buzz Dixon. The topics range from the beginnings of the rabid 80's toy and cartoon boom, to the Satanic Panic and how to write an episode of children's TV that is both high science fiction and is critical of modern issues. It's a blast and this is another peek. behind the curtain of how things began even into where they are now and even where they may go.Also, check out the book that Buzz has on Kindle Vella, "Cheeky"https://www.amazon.com/CHEEKY/dp/B0C5SGPDQN/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xHs288TL4P0oC5t_VfaaOdBMow6hIIOE3C_peE7hG5hW97gh0VNRML30vMuVaVqx.678idJ5KH5Ik-KC52dy9zbjZSynddEXsQ6gouz3oAAg&dib_tag=se&keywords=cheeky&qid=1713218277&s=falkor&sr=1-1www.buzzdixon.comIf you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!Edhatestransformers@gmail.comMorethanmeetstheseguys@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

Ed fell during the final fight of the karate regional finals and so Evan has a side episode with the engaging Jessica DiGiovanni, who played Windblade on Transformers Cyberverse.

The Guys get into episode 3 of Robotech and the aftermath of such a conflict in relation to how we deal with such chaos in our lives and space travel. Well, I wish the chaos of space travel was such a worry, I mean as long as we didn't travel through a warp like in Warhammer 40K. That's chaos.

The action keeps us pumped with the second episode of Robotech: The Macross Saga. Jason is gonna do what Jason does and Rick is playing Rampage with a big robot. Who let this kid in an experimental fighter? Oh, Roy says its cool, so we're all good. Ed, Jayhu, and Evan start tallying citywide destruction and we get reminded of why cartoon politicians are a valid piece of the lore. Gotta universally loathe someone.

Whoa! The Guys take a major left turn into the world of Macross, or rather Robotech, to break up Season 3 of Transformers. Evan professes his dislaike of Lin Minmei and Jayhu professes his love of robot vending machines. Its a sordid tale of al alternate future that involves micronians and super dimensional fortressesIf you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!Edhatestransformers@gmail.comMorethanmeetstheseguys@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

Boo and Evan find out what's next for the beleaguered Ratchet as he travels to The Savage Land, land that Magneto loves to use on occasion. He's got big plans for the lost Dinobots, and we'll see how they defeated the fierce Shockwave. Megatron is seemingly a very good soldier for Shockwave as well.
