Aimee and Adam are back to help while away these cold winter months with a look a Nick Roche's SCARENTHOOD. Be warned, technical and verbal horrors abound (from your rusty hosts) while Nick provides the real chills. Also some bad language.... blame the ladywreck household for that, apparently :-) [Explicit]

Issue #2 of Sins brings the Underbase crew together to talk about everyone’s favorite mean green fighting machines! And more animal punching carnage! Let it be a thing! [Explicit]

SINS of the Wreckers has been released to the world in all its glory! Did it shatter your pants? We couldn’t let it go without a good review, so the Underbase crew is back once again to wreck and rule! You won’t want to miss this bear kicking issue! [Explicit]

The anticipation for this continued series has been high! Sins of the Wreckers Preview is the theme for this podcast and you don’t wanna miss it. (Sins of the Wreckers to be released this next week!) Gear up and get ready for a discussion about Wreckers! [Explicit]

Check out the PREVIEW here!

Not really a standard Underbase review but just a few team-members nattering for a few hours... folks somehow manage to cover a Wreckers-featured 1989 annual story, in the middle of it all. Along the way, we talk comics, families, politics, films and fallen celebrities.

Looking to start back on a few more reviews soon, hopefully with a bit more of our regular structure.

It’s the bottom of the barrel! Dave and Chris review the infamous Micromasters series eleven years in the making! (recorded June 2015, apologies for the time lapse.) It could be the dreaded review they have been avoiding or the entertaining rant you’ve been craving all year? Wrapping up on a toy geek out! Enjoy! [Explicit]

Join Team Windblade as another round of reviewing our Cybertronian combiners hits the comic stands. Its the full team Angel; Nicole, Heather, Aimee, and Mike! (Many thanks to Nicole for all the editing she's been doing on Windblade CW!)

Proof that even the mightiest of forces cannot contend with the power of poor broadband customer service, we bring you the delayed MTMTE42 review from Matt, Adam and Chris.
As the team devotes more time to boogie analysis than an entire season of Come Dancing, Chris asks... really?... REALLY?... REEEAAAAAA.. oh, you get the idea!
(Explicit)

Adam starts the show by explaining last weeks news and our announcement, in more detail, to clarify certain aspects and calm some of you wonderfull folk down.

Then jump to 10:15 and botcon!...well...as much as it ever is.

Technically, this is a botcon review... but since the guys are on the second half of a lengthy recording session (and not on a comic they particularly enjoy) the conversation takes it's inevitable spin off onto wrestling, DC comics, penguin species, Jedi and other, more serious, issues... some of this has been left to the end, so keep listening!
Explicit Language...what did you expect!

After 5 years of podcasting, life has changed for the Underbase hosts and we’ve got an announcement for this week. Just a few links mentioned in the show:

Chris Metzen & Flint Dille Interview

Transmissions Podcast

Audio Knights Theatre

Please feel free to listen in on all of our interviews over the last 5 years. The early ones are here, and the more recent ones here. Thanks for tuning in!!

The Underbase Classics team tackle the Marvel Comics American G1 issue#6: The Worse of Two Evils.

Join Joe "Teebee", Tricky, Paul and host Adam as they review and discuss the issue. Please note, the recording contains a brief element of "franglitalian"....it cannot be helped.

Join team Windblade as they read and review issue #3 of the series, part 5 of Combiner Wars crossover event. Prowl and Prime spending quality time together. . . fun times?

Joe comes to the rescue of a clearly knackered (sorry folks) Adam to review an incredible issue of Transformers vs GI Joe.An issue generating a lot of praise from may quarters. It's a shame that the delays in delease, and the art style have squeezed this title to the sidelines of the IDW Transformers program. In addition to Adam's weary state, we have a few audio drops. Apologies, there are only a few.

At the end we note the current state of this title. Will we continue to enjoy this series for much longer?

With the 2015 event almost apon us, Matt, Gruffy and Chris return to review the first of two Botcon releases BotCon timelines issue number 9.
Be warned folks, just because this issues promises a less drastic response than previous issues, it doesn't mean the guys will be any less off-topic and certainly no less explicit in their language!

If you are crazy enough to want to listen to the infamous issue#7, it can be found on our podcast homepage at http://theunderbase.libsyn.com/the-underbase-reviews-timelines-7

or via our new youtube page at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AITngfXg3dA

Join Mikey and guests Isa, Sprite and Heather, as they discuss a wide range of aspects involving gender and the representation in both the Transformer, and wider, comic communities.

Insightfull, hilarious, revealing and often razor-sharp, this is not only one of the most, hopefully, enjoyable discussions we have published on the Underbase, but covers several topics in a frank and level-headed fashion that is sometimes missing across certain elements of our fandom.

As a sidenote, there are more killer quotes in this show than you can shake a stick at, but also a few audio issues we have hopefully minimised. Contains strong language.

If not, join Adam, Joe, Luffy and Temple for a readthrough and review of not just the ongoing series preview, but the other goodies the issue contained.

Matt returns to the MTMTE team just as Ratchet leaves the lost light in what is certainly a memorable issue!
With regular guests Chris and Adam, they read/review the issue, fret over a particular subplot as well as discussing other comic news. . . . not least of which includes a certain Joker picture.
Please note some swearing from Chris. . . but can you blame him for being worried?

Don’t forget to #penaltyboxforHailstorm on twitter to @theunderbase @BeatlesDiva (Thanks to @cpshelton from the TransMissions podcast, and @Cassius335 for their participation.) And don’t forget to check out @GCRN! [PG rating]

The Combiner Wars step up a gear with Transformers issue 40! Join Gruffy, Andrew and career substitute host Adam as they readthrough and discuss the issue. More chat than usual, but that's due to several script/format choices that make this one of the best issues from Barber yet!
We also talk politics and Gruffy tries to bait a bearded Canadian artist. A few audio issues, hopefully not too bad.
The review of the next part of Combiner Wars (Windblade issue 2) will be up this weekend.

Hot topics in your Transformers? Mikey and Vangelus are on the discussion mission to chin wag about everything in the current continuity for a third installment of Mikey’s comic basement! [Explicit]

Monster Motors: The Curse of MiniVan Helsing reaches it's conclusion. Join Adam and Nicole as they runthrough, review and have fun with iGor, Buggy, Wheelwolf and friends! Caution: issue contains an alt mode, theme tunes and a face you want to slap!

Transformers GI Joe issue#6 has finally arrived! After last issues last-minute run-through, Adam again goes solo for a quick runthrough and review. His brain being what it is, it's not perfect, but hopefully folks appreciate a shorter format of review.

DJD time folks, as MTMTE#39 brings us a whole issue dedicated to those lovable little marshmallows! Join Adam May, Chris and substitute-host Adam White as they discuss the issue, it's potential ramifications and prove that there are no crowd shots that Chris cannot conquer!

Returning for the sequel, review Team "Angel" open Windblade and the return of the lady creators Scott and Stone! (This episode does not lack in plugging in other IDW titles!) Windblade is back and discussion commences! 

As well as thoroughly reviewing Transformers#39,the opening salvo of COMBINER WARS, Dave, andy and Gruffy also pitch a podcast based on depressing brit sci-fi, bring up "comic vs carton", ponder Stan Bush and address the current response to the end of the Auto Assembly UK convention. NSFW.

Join Dave, Andy and Gruffy as they look at the final TF issue before the Combiner Wars unfurl, and speak their mind on the different plots, characters and situations this latest arc has dealt with. (Note: NSFW)

MONSTER MOTORS RETURNS! the Nick Roche-drawn series that many of us Underbase hosts have been waiting for has been finally released and there was no way we weren't going to review this! Join Adam, Tricky and Nicole (plus random Irish gatecrasher) as we watch trucks fight cars, and epic kung fu fails. Make sure you check this issue out, this weekend!

MTMTE 38 is the conclusion of more than just an arc! But how does the creative team do, with numerous plots still seeking resolution? Join Matt, Adam and Chris as they tackle the issue. Also the guys natter about comics and figures. . . because why not!

Adam, Luffy and Temple tackle Drift: Empire of Stone issue#4. With the series reaching it's conclusion, we let loose on what we thought of it.

With more adventures behind the scenes, and out-takes I am not brave enough to add, at present) Adam and Nicole brave Piggy Island to catch up on the growing conflict between Birds, Pigs, eggs and a chilling new sub-species!

After his computer killed the original group review, join Underbase host Ad8m as he tackles TF vs Gi Joe#5, by himself, in a whirl of jump frames and Barber/Scioli insanity. This one is only 30mins, let me know if you like this unplanned shorter format!

Adam and Nicole are finally alone together. . . . what better to do than review Angry Birds Transformers issue #2 eh? Warning: Contains randomness, asides and the at least one gaming addict!

Discussion on Jurassic Park takes over the podcast momentarily before we review Transformers issue 36! Who takes over the comic after that? The humans or the Cybertronians? Also a fair bit of chatter about where we might be going with Combiner Wars. [Explicit]

Join Luffy, Temple, Charls and Adam as they go through the second, more conversational, issue of Drift. Huge thanks to the guys for giving their thoughts, and big props to Charles, for jetting over to Europe, just to be on the show. . . . or that's how we will play it!
