Mike Blanchard, Michael Wilson, and guest Spada the Baltmatrix break down the entire Transformers Animated toyline, from Activators and Deluxes to hard-to-find exclusives. They discuss the series' shift to cheaper factories and the resulting quality control issues, such as the inconsistent plastic colors on Bumblebee. The trio shares their personal favorite figures, debates the merits of the Voyager class, and reminisces about hunting for elusive repaints at major retailers. They also explore the strange history behind the show's integration of the purple Shockwave toy design.
