Episode Notes We review the next 3 appearances of Brainiac in Superman: The Animated Series from the 1990s.

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?

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 ..read more

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 o ..read more
