how is this possible? the physics just don't work.

If Bumblebee was an alien robot folding his equivalent mass into the shape of a camaro, where did he find the room to furnish a full interior?

Just sayin. Oh, and Transformers 2, which I was just kinda forced to watch, was prolly the first movie to make me angry.

[Stumbo]

Okay. That's cool. Yeah, what about the interior? I mean, it's open space so where did Bumblebee put his bumble?

[tplyons]

Wow... that's all I have to say.

Exactly. I just pointed that out, upon looking "under the chassis" of my son's toy bumblebee. How 'bout it Michael Bay?

I mean I guess it wouldn't bother me in the minute way it does if I didn't read, in Wired, when the firs one came out, that Mikey Bay had to change Optimus from a flat-front semi because the physical mass wasn't there....same reason Megatron wasn't a gun but a lame jet.

And someone PLEASE tell me this: If megatron's crash to Earth predated the need to "blend" into existing technology, and all the other Autobots & Decepticons all arrived on Earth in flamin meteorite looking things, WHY did Megatron even fold into anything AT ALL, let alone that lame jet.

There I go thinking again.

You are attempting to make sense of The Transformers. Stop.

I watched the movie "Orphan" in the theater. I walked out screaming I was so mad. Movie sucks. Hard. They called security, but I told them I couldn't get the hell out of there fast enough. They understood, but asked me to quit yelling on the way out.

Also, Camaros are magic, bro...

Wait, wait, wait. You watched the whole movie and the only thing you could find to poke holes in was how the Transformers fold up? I was thinking about the G forces involved in some of the scenes in the movie (explosions, chases, etc) turning humans into pulp, those same explosions bursting eardrums and turning characters deaf, the US Military actually funding robots without trying to enslave them, the buildings the robots were hanging off of crumbling to bits under their weight and collapsing, the unlikelihood of a woman looking like Meagan Fox hooking up with a guy who looks like whats-his-butt (can't spell the dude's name), I could go on and on.

I enjoyed the movie anyway. I'm a firm believer of suspending my disbelief, especially where giant robots are concerned. I'll cut giant robots lots of slack when it comes to physics.

I can appreciate what Bumblebee goes through in size transformations. I too am a "grower."

Walter, of course.

But no one rides in any other autobot or decepticon in the movies...that just kinda made my brain go "boing" more than any of the other million absurd things going on.

of course the thread is absurd...but none moreso than, as I pointed out earlier, Mikey Bay's quest for "realism" in the 'bots.

First of all, Transformers 2 was a piece of unmitigated crap. It ruined the good will Michael Bay built up with the first movie.

Second, Megatron of the first movie strikes me as one of the iterations found in the British and Marvel comic series - a Cybertronian starfighter rather than a jet.

Third, I was mildly iritated vy the change in Optimus, but it worked out. What really pissed me off was what he said right before shooting that big decepticon point blank in the face in T2. That is completely NOT his personality. Maybe Grimlok would do that, or Ironhide, or Rodimus, but not him. He would have tried to convert him and only would have killed him as a last resort.

Wow. Next there will be a thread on why Harry Potter wears glasses if he has magic powers.

I don't know about this good will of which you speak. No one should respect michael bay. Ever. For anything.

Not only that, he's trying to make sense out of Michael Bay.

The interior comes from the helicopters flying in slow motion during a sunset.

[Bryan R. Tyler]

And worst of all- they're eating all of our sand.

[CityEscape]

What a terrible movie.

That's almost sig-worthy, right there.

Zero trunk space.
