Transformers Trailer Talk and EarthSpark Season 1 SPOILER FILLED Review!

·1 hr 23 min·5 clips

Steve Blum and the All Things Transformers crew react to new trailers and deliver a spoiler-filled EarthSpark Season 1 review.

The episode begins with introductions and a brief update on Optimus Solo's move from Illinois to Florida. The hosts first discuss the trailer for the upcoming video game Transformers Reactivate, originally named Rise. Kevin expresses strong dislike for the trailer, citing excessive human involvement and Michael Bay-like designs as negatives. Steve and Mike agree that Transformers media is often better with minimal human focus, referencing series like Beast Wars and G1. The conversation shifts to the Rise of the Beasts movie trailer. Steve critiques the beast character designs for lacking color and definition, while Kevin is more optimistic but confused by Cheetor's oversized appearance. They discuss voice casting, noting the return of Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime and the inclusion of actors like David Soboloff as Rhinox, but express disappointment over missing original Beast Wars voice actors. After a break, the hosts review Transformers EarthSpark Season 1. Steve and Kevin are highly critical: Steve finds the show boring and dislikes the Terran protoforms and kid involvement, while Kevin calls it 'absolute garbage,' criticizing the Terran designs, Optimus Prime and Megatron's faces, and the overused 'ghost' human organization trope. Mike is more positive, appreciating the show's attempt to hook a younger audience and elements like the emotional bond between humans and Terrans. They debate the show's writing, episode count, and specific character names like 'Hashtag.' The episode concludes with final thoughts: Steve is cautiously optimistic about Rise of the Beasts, Kevin will see it regardless, and Mike enjoyed EarthSpark Season 1.
