Evan and Boo once again dive into the Transformers Marvel UK comics as they dive into Transformers UK #5, “Prisoner Of War! – Part One”. This corresponds to the first half of the U.S. Marvel Transformers issue #3. The guy contemplate the Transformers’ fuel needs and how they relate to human technology. Is Sparkplug Witwicky as greater chemist than Walter White? What is his real name, anyway? What happens when Transformers fight the U.S. military? Why does Starscream get the best dialogue out of all the other Transformers?

Apart from the Transformers’ pages, the guys remark upon the ads and articles in the UK issue, along with the plentiful contests the UK Transformers comics held for their readers. The issue’s Robot Round-Up article features some very relevant predictions for artificial intelligence that we are only now beginning to experience. We also find out the perils of live phone-ins to children’s television shows, as well as the birth of a meme that pre-dates the World Wide Web. All this and more, including more Machine Man madness, is discussed in the latest episode of the More Than Meets These Guys Podcast.
