#78: Transformers 1985 Minibots
Everyone loves a good Minibot, but something about the tiny Transformers was extra special in 1985! These five are some of the most unusual releases of the era, but they're as charming now as they ever were back in the day, showcasing exactly how to do a small 'pocket money' toy with a sense of flair. Today, we appreciate the little guys!

So, you think you know Transformers? Our hosts certainly do, but can they make it through Sixo's quiz on the Generation 1 toy line? We hope you enjoy listening to the results as much as we did recording it, and maybe playing along to see if you can beat our scores as you go!

#75: Transformers 1988 (with Maz!)
It's our 75th episode AND our third anniversary, so we're going back to one of our favourite years of toys to celebrate! Despite not being as widely lauded as what came before it, 1988 was a crucial period of change for Transformers. With new gimmicks - Powermasters, Pretenders, Micromasters and more! - and a return-of-sorts to Earthbound vehicular forms, there's a lot to say about this one. Which is probably why we brought back Maz to help chat through it all then!
