Welcome to Energon Shots, where we take shots at the 'Cons and 'Bots! Join Livewire and Bogey, your two Cybertronian hosts, as they discuss various Transformers and what happens when you join a fandom full of filthy robot fuckers. We've got a thirst to quench and we're downing shots left and right.
Grimlock! King of the Dinobots! Sometimes gold, sometimes green, but ALL the time badass. We get a little fixated on one particular Grimlock in this episode, but all Grimlocks are good Grimlocks. Except for that one Grimlock. We all know the one.
Topics of note:
- Eggs?!?!
- Grimlock is smart sometimes but not all of the times
- Dinobots are NOT dumb and saying that they are is perpetuating a negative stereotype - Bogey
There's some REALLY good fanfiction recommendations in this episode, as well as a few shoutouts to some voiceactors and a bunch of fandom talk for all the Grim lovers out there. Let's take some shots at Grimlock together!

Energon Shots 09: Prowl's Table Flipping Fetish
Everybody hates Prowl. Except for one specific Prowl that if anybody hates him they're a heartless, sparkless heathen. Prowl is a lot of things, and none of them are nice. We poke a lot of fun at him but he is actually very important to a lot of TF series. But one is objectively better than the others.
Topics of note:
- Prowl is a bottom
- Jazz deserves better
- Bogey is afraid of lingerie
There's TONS of art recommendations this time around, AND fanfictions galore. Let's take some shots at Prowl together!

Energon Shots: Behind The Bots! An Interview with David Sobolov
Something different! Something new! We got to sit down with David Sobolov, the voice of many beloved Transformers characters such as Depth Charge from Beast Wars, Shockwave from Transformers Prime, Blitzwing from the 2018 Bumblebee movie, and Rhinox in the new Transformers movie Rise of The Beasts, coming out later this year! We don't take any shots this time because we're professionals and we want to put our best foot forward.

Energon Shots 08: Soundwave Fucking Superior
Ah yes, Soundwave. Megatron's third in command, the one true Decepticon! Single father of six who has more responsibility than he needs, winner of the 2022 Robot Husband poll! Soundwave is objectively the best Transformer out there, and this is objectively the best episode we're ever released!
Topics of note:
- Soundwave is doing his best and needs a nap
- Not all Soundwaves are create equal, some Soundwaves are more equal than others.
- Bogey literally gets up on the table and starts flailing his arms because he's so passionate about Soundwave so THAT'S fun.
This weeks suggestions are SPICY GOOD STUFF and normal good stuff, because everyone agrees that Soundwave is just, simply, superior, in every aspect.
Let's take some shots at Soundwave together!

Energon Shots 07: The Hottest Rodimuses You Know
Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime. Sometimes they're the same person. Sometimes they're not! But they're all VERY attractive and this episode gets a little bit thirsty on BOTH sides of the studio.
Topics of note:
1. Rodimus is hot. That's it that's all.
2. "Rodimus is the worst fuck of your life." - Bogey
3. "Rodimus has two hands, and they're both holding mine." - Also Bogey.
TONS of shoutouts and art recommendations, particularly from DarlsDraws, PretentiousFork, and Schandbringer with a special shoutout to James Roberts himself.
Let's take some shots at Rodimus together!

Energon Shots 06: Gaslight Arcee Girlboss
What is a Femme Fatale? What does it have to do with Transformers? Does Bogey still have a job after this episode?
We can answer the first one, because this episode is about the resident Femme Fatale and first recurring female Transformer, Arcee!
Topics of note:
- There is no consistency to how Arcee is portrayed in any Transformers media
- 'Nicee'
- Why is Arcee the focus of so much inflation porn
Finding art and fanfiction reccommendations on this one was really hard actually so please enjoy the fruits of our labor while we take some shots at Arcee together!

Energon Shots 05: Shockwave's Massive Titties
The only logical conclusion to make about this episode is that it features one of the most terrifying and morally corrupt Decepticons in all of Megatron's ranks. Shockwave, and his big hobondonkoloroboobs. Yes, he has boobs, yes, they're big. We cover this for a solid five minutes. Let's take some shots at Shockwave together!
Topics of note:
1. Shockwave's boobs (Again)
2. David Sobolov is great and if you're reading this you get your own segment
3. The Bastardization of Shockwave and his God Complex (IDW)
4. If we read the word 'logical' one more time in a fanfiction we're going to set someone on fire
Special Shoutout to ShapeOfMetal who at this point in recording the podcast has changed their name in Tumblr to CyberneticOreos. Lots of good fanfiction recommendations in here so we hope it quenches your thirst!

Energon Shots 04: Hot Ratchets In Your Area
Someone call a medic, because this episode features around the Autobot CMO, Ratchet of Vaporex (in some continuities, anyway). Everybody loves Ratchet and if they don't, Livewire is willing to throw all four of her hands. She maybe also cry a bit and breaks character once or twice here. Let's take some shots at Ratchet together!
Topics of note:
- Party Ambulance (derogatory)
- Hasbro lost the license to Ratchet's name once and that was funny
- Ratchet on Synth-En IS the hottest Ratchet alive
- Someone give this mech a f*&$ing vacation already
Tons of fanfiction and fanart recommendations this time around, so it should be enough to quench EVERYBODY'S thirst!

Energon Shots 03: Megatron Was Right Actually
The big bad evil guy of every continuity! Sometimes. This episode we focus our sights on Megatron, the ultimate ruler of the Decepticons, occasional crazy person, and guy who honestly just needs a break sometimes? Which is a weird thing to say. There's a lot to say about him actually! Let's take some shots at Megatron together!
Topics of note:
Megatron was right about the war actually
Unicron Trilogy Megatron was WEIRD
David Kaye and Frank Welker made him sexy
Megatron MUST be larger than both Optimus and Starscream it's the law.
Not very many fanfiction recommendations this time around as it's already a pretty long episode, but we hope it's enough to quench your thirst!

Energon Shots 02: The Many War Crimes Of Optimus Prime

Energon Shots 01: Starscream Is A Bitch And So Are You
Normally people who dissect the Transformers fandom would start with, y'know, Optimus or Megatron. But we have a precedent to set with what we're doing here, and we gotta start off with a bang. The first half is Calm, the second half is Thirsty. Time to take some shots at Starscream!
This episode topics include:
1. Starscreams changes and portrayals throughout the Transformers universe
2. His Canon portrayal his Fanon portrayal
3. Fanfiction and fanartists who write and draw a LOT of Starscream.
4. Notable Starscreams and why he's a bottom.
5. Which Starscream is the sexiest, and which ones we'd like to frag senseless into the ground.
