Autobot TV Shows

‘Weaponizers' on Discovery Blends Badass Explosions & Engineering

On Monday, the Discovery Channel will debut my dream TV show, and it’s called ‘Weaponizers.’ The show basically pits two crews against each other in a race to turn a regular junkyard car into a badass autobot of destruction.

You’ll have to watch the ‘Weaponizers’ teaser above to get the full impact, but it’s basically a recipe for all-around awesomeness. There are cars, explosions, lots of crashing, no one gets hurt, and it’s even educational to boot!
