When a transformer goes on sale to the public does Megan Fox come with it?

Good call... More than 3 could cause a heart attack...

Megan Fox is NOT that hot. Personally, i'd go for a Karolina Kurkova. Or for a little diversity, Seletia Ebanks.

This news story forgot to mention the rest of the future:

Long ago on a planet called Earth, there were two sides: the Claytronics and the Deceptronics. The Claytronics were led by Optimus Linux and the Deceptronics were led by Microsofton. These two sides would war against each other, bringing upon destruction to the Earth.

That could backfire fast, I'll take 2 and a roll of duct tape.

 

[vertigo_2000]

That's all fine and everything, but all I wanna know is... will they make that cool sound when they transform?

Sounds more like the Replicators from Stargate than Transformers

Interesting sounding.
But what happens when the power fails? ... or the battery runs out? suddenly all those electromagnets no longer stick together.

There are millions of hot women. But only one me. Of course, I have look-alikes, some even have the same name. But lets focus on me, ok?

 

[enzo matrix]

Now they just need to give them the capability of building more of themselves

SHHHH don't say that...We need to keep the fact they are weak to EMP and power malfunctions a secret so we have a defence when they enslave us all!

It Begins, the end of the human race is nigh. Why you ask? Robot sex slaves that's why. Lucy Liu robot sex slaves to be precise.

 

[Guest]

but will they run crysis?

Robots will be subject to the rule of law. Generally speaking in the US, the recording of human conversations is more legally risky than the recording of public images. When automated systems like robots approach people on the street, legal issues will arise as to whether they can record conversations they overhear. Robot owners will seek to get consent to audio recording of nearby people. What do you think? --Ben

And the Macbots did not fight, for they were too slow and did not want to get dirty.
