The 12th seal of the Roboplastic Apocalypse severs and snaps like several zombie necks under the steady rumble of 40 year old robot tank treads in this "catching up with the Tronians" edition of the Roboplastic Podcastalypse! Listen in horror as the Nostrodomatron talks for over an hour about Yo Gabba Gabba (a new children's show about robots and monsters), Transformers G1 (an old children's cartoon about robots and monsters) and Zeroids (a new old comic definitely not for children, but still about robots and monsters). Plus old newspaper articles take me back to early 1984 when there was no Transformers bandwagon, everyone was jumping on the GoBots bandwagon, some people were jumping on the Robo Force bandwagon, and nobody even knew there was a Starriors bandwagon. Do you remember the Roboplastic Apocalypse? YES I DO AND IT WAS REALLY FUN.

Yes, a new episode of the Roboplastic Podcastalypse! I randomly check in on your blog and am glad to see you're back in action. I'll download episode 12 right now and listen to it on the train ride to work tomorrow.
Great episode! You forgot about one huge non-video-game toy line after TMNT and before Pokemon... Power Rangers! I hated them, but they were super popular in the mid 1990s.
I hope continue to post more episodes soon!
Thanks Rob! I believe in the Rob-ological view that a 22 to 30 minute show is ideal but I seem to have descended into that next circle of podcasting hell and I went an hour.
There will be more podcastalypses-I have content for three shows already down but I have to edit them and the kid's been sick for the last two weeks so it's a miracle I have any time. But soon more will be coming.
Yeah, after our recent 96 minute episode (159), I think we'll go back to 40 minute-ish ones for a while.
