Episode Notes We review the next 3 appearances of Brainiac in Superman: The Animated Series from the 1990s. First, Brainiac kidnaps Lex Luthor and forces him to build him a new body, and Lex's bodyguard and Superman must team up to find him. Next, Brainiac kidnaps Bruce Wayne and force him to build him a new body...but also a spaceship. And finally, Brainiac travels in time to kill a young Superman instead of trying to kidnap someone. What was Brainiac's goals? Did they change each episode, or did they get more into focus with each appearance? Did 5 episodes of Brainiac change any of the host's opinions on how much they now like him, or did each episode lead to more judgements on his plans and opinions on his usefulness as a villain?

Episode Notes Optimus gets all the glory and screentime this episode.  Listen as we deal with the anti-climatic use of Earth's brilliant super computer, Thomas can't stop calling said super computer Krang, and we get a hilarious spot of racism at the episodes' end.  Plus, a look an 11 in 1 transforming toy that houses items you would use to go camping.

Episode Notes Marvel Age was a monthly comic magazine that showcased upcoming Marvel Comic Books. It is likely this was the first time the public learned that the Transformers were coming. We read the description and see if we would be interested based on the preview article. Find out more at https://sparkcast.pinecast.co

Episode Notes We read this book to you during our early episodes, but now the original audio recording has been found. 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? Megatron...cruising? And Cliffjumper...with eyes in his headlights? It has to be seen to be believed.

Episode Notes Starscream betrays the Decepticons to join the Autobots? Listen and hear everything once again from the Decepticon's side so you know what their planning, but you also see the Autobot side as well, and already know what they are planning, is this differently told tale of Espionage!!!!!. And, we find out info about our UK Audio Cassette Narrator, who is someone most people would know from his current video game voice acting work, as well as tons of anime work in the 80s and 90s. Listen To The Audio Cassette Here: https://www.camphortree.net/tf/books/pickwick/espionage.mp3

Episode Notes For this episode, we left in the talk of us as we set up our audio in case you ever wondered how we work. We used to use Voicemeter for the audio casette stories, but it always took us 30 minutes or more each time to set it all up again for 3 people and a seperate audio track whenever there was an update, a new mic, etc, so now I just stream the MP3 file on Discord via Windows Media Player. 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, on with the 3rd out of 4 UK Audio Adventure Exclusives! It's time to Menace At The Dam.

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 out!

Episode Notes Thomas tries to figure out the Subatlantican's process of communicating based on the animation. Shawn wonders how Spike went underwater in a car with multiple costume changes, how Bumblebee emptied water from his car while underwater, and why Spike has a regular snorkle that should drown him, yet also has an air tank on his back not connected to anything. Madness only in this episode of fish psychics. Plus, a look at 2 cool official Transformers toys from 1984 and 1985, a Race Car Set and a Train Set!

Episode Notes The Autobots race for charity, only to find themselves trapped in car form when the Decpticons attack. Thrill, as we get off topic a lot, because this was our most boring episode for us. However, stay tuned (at 57:00) for the Character Spotlight on Optimus Prime, as we finish the Spotlight on every Season 1 Autobot. Ghostbusters Optimus Prime Optimus Prime Movie Figure (Sleep Mode / Dead Mode) Q-Transformers Optimus Prime Golden Lagoon Episode Optimus Prime Playstation Optimus Prime

Episode Notes We are introduced to Carly, and Charley does not seem to like her actions in this episode, while Shawn thinks she is just a female version of Chip, leaving Spike as the useless one. Also, our Character Spotlight on Megatron. Link to Megatron Mega Drive & Genesis. Link to Megatron's Prototype Art that was used in many of the children's books. Link to the Megatron Helmet you wear. Link to actually buy the Megatron Helmet. Geekade's Patreon Support Sparkcast by contributing to their tip jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/sparkcast This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Episode Notes So, you can't use 'Choose Your Own Adventure' because it is copyrighted? Then go with 'Find Your Fate'. Oh, an American Company already registered that, too. Ok. Let's go with 'Adventure Book.' Too generic to copyright? Well, it's a game, right? Lets go with 'Adventure Game Book' (I assume this is how this was created). So is this a knock-off UK Choose Your Own Adventure Book? Or is it a well-crafted story that uses time to interact with the story in a consistent fashion (that description was pretty specific)? So let's control your human child avatar, hook-up with Jazz, and try to save your Aunt & Uncle. Let the Adventure (Game Book) begin!

Episode Notes We read a Choose Your Own Adventure / Find Your Fate book where all the Dinobots, except Swoop, have been mind-controlled by the Insecticons. Join us in what is a short book, but we somehow sepnd the longest time agonizing over which decision to choose to get the good ending. You would think it would be a Swoop Adventure, but no, the first third of the book is about stopping the mind-controlled Dinobots, and the next two-thirds follows Sludge on an adventure to stop some Decepticons with Bumblebee and Skids. Listen as the descriptions we are given don't always follow through with what they state would happen. Read 'Transformers: Find Your Fate - Dinobot's Strike Back' along with us, and see the art that shows up, as well. View the Geekade Patreon.

Episode Notes A Review of Brainiac from Superman: The Animated Series (TAS). Is Brainiac similar to a Transformer when compared to his first 2 appearances? Plus, we discuss our entry into Superman, the comics as well as TAS, some DC movie talk, and then somehow Star Trek: Voyager shoves its way into the conversation, with disastrous results.

Episode Notes The original 5 podcast episodes combined to equal around 5 hours and 30 minutes.  This podcast compilation makes it 4 hours and 30 minutes.  Most edits were the TV theme (and its other international versions), most intros and extros of ourselves, some off-topic conversations, along with the many, many rants of Space Adventure Cobra that appeared in every single episode.
