Happy Holidays, Maximals and Predacons! For our milestone 150th episode, we are playing and reviewing four BEAST WARS video games! First up is the 1997 PlayStation game simply titled "Beast Wars," then both the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 versions of "Beast Wars: Transmetals" which are just different enough to warrant being covered separately. Fina…

Siege is depressed and tipsy, and Kal is high on painkillers, so naturally we're both in the correct frame of mind to review episodes 17, 18, 19, and 20 of Beast Wars Second.
