Fuck The Transformers

Okay, I know, I promised once I wouldn't bitch about pop culture stuff on this blog, like all the other morons.

But just this once:

The Transformers are stupid. I didn't like them when I was a kid, I don't like them now. The question is just: WHY, if you were designing a real robot, would you NEED a robot that could change into a truck? Isn't it cooler / more effective just as a big, well-armed robot? And if you want a dangerous truck, then design a dangerous truck with a lot of armor and weapons. What possible reason is there to combine the two?

Okay, you're saying: maybe the robot needs to disguise itself as a truck to sneak into some place, or just mix in with the civilians vehicles and hide.

First of all, I can't EVER remember them doing that, on the few episodes I watched, but more importantly, they DIDN'T HAVE DRIVERS, which of course would give them away immediately.

Okay, assuming that you had some kind of secret facility and were worried about robots sneaking into it disguised as trucks, and assuming the Transformers were bright enough to get some humans to sit inside them to try to fool everybody, are you telling me that it wouldn't be easy to come up with some kind of device to detect a robot disguised as a truck? That it wouldn't have a completely different heat signature, for example? And of course a flouroscope would queer the whole deal immediately.

Anyway. Okay. Sorry. Just had to get that off my chest. And now back to pictures of titties, me bitching about my job, and descriptions of drinking binges.
