A CALL TO (CRUSHER) ARMS!
TV Guide Youngstown-Erie, PA 12/13/84
The Robo ForceTastic Apocalypse comes to its crushy, grippy end with this Robo Force themed edition of the Podcastalypse! Alas, my Robo Force themed week long series of blog posts did not result in an announcement from Michael Bay about an upcoming Robo Force movie trilogy but maybe it's for the best. In the meantime we can all watch the Revenge of Nazgar on YouTube and listen to me talk about why an obscure cartoon starring a bunch of giant talking Mad Max vacuum cleaners may just be the greatest American robot show of all time. SHOW NOTES OF THE PODCASTALYPSE

Dear Evil King Macrocranios,
I'm glad to see someone else interested in the history of the suction cup robots that time forgot. I believe the two mini-comics you're missing are "The Adamantium Heist!" featuring Sentinel and Vulgar, and "Ambush in Celestia!" with Coptor and Enemy. After happening upon your podcast I scanned both of them and would be more than happy to help you out, if you'll just let me know how you'd like me to send them to you.

Thank you thank you thank you! Thanks a million for this. You have solved one of the greatest Robo Force mysteries for me.
Coming into contact with other Robo Force fans like yourself has really made all this Robo Force blogging worthwhile!
