Apparently, it is unclear to the executives behind Transformers why we, and many other nerds, watched the show to begin with. We suppose the burden of responsibility falls on us to clarify: It's the giant robots fighting each other . In case you guys weren't sure–if, perhaps, it was neck and neck between robot-fighting and data analysis–we pray ours can be the deciding vote. When you have five loose-cannon robots, all of whom are just itching to fight other robots with or without a reasonable excuse, for Christ's sake, don't ruin every single one of them by sticking them together to make Nerdmotron 6000.


The most enlightening thing about this article was how all grown up Cracked is on the Internet.

That, and how could they not make fun of Cosmos? The dude transformed from a tiny green spaceship into a GoBot.

Speaking of Transformers...

The movie was HELLA-AWESOME!!!1! I really wanted to see the movie, but I semi-expected it to suck, and while it still could have been so much better if Steven Spielberg had more input, I think I had more sheer fun and enjoyment watching that movie than any other... ever. I mean, sure, there are scores of better movies, better stories, characters, etc.... but there's just something about GIANT F-ING ROBOTS that holds a dear place in my heart.

Come on Transformers 2!!!!!!

Ha, that site's commentary is pretty hilarious.

And yes. That movie was like one really big... cool... um... well, there's freaking robots. I'm speechless. Oh yeah and a brilliant love story, but especially robots.

My favorite line was by the chick: "Nice headers! You have a double-pump high-rise carburetor. That's impressive!"

Oye... I know most people could care less... but there are so many problems there. First off, yeah... wow... nice headers... great... they're steel tubes. Woooh... fancy steel tubes. Who the hell compliments headers? Second... the engine in the car didn't have a carburetor... it was some wacked out fuel injection which looks fancy. The car actually had an old carbed engine in it, but in the movie they cut to a pretty model engine which you saw in the movie (because looking at an air-cleaner that covers most of the engine just doesn't give that "wow" effect) without fixing the script. Third... even if they showed the original engine and not the model... it had a high-rise intake... not a "high-rise carb..."

As I said, most people could care less, but is it that hard to do a tiny bit of research and keep everything consistent? If they put the effort into making the girl a hot grease monkey, they could have gone the extra mile (or at least a few feet) to make her story slightly more believable. Thankfully I saw that clip before I saw the movie so I expected it... otherwise I would have burst out laughing in the middle of the movie.
