Reality, Shattered: The Sequel


Theme song "Transformers, robots in the skiiiiiiiies" is actually "Transformers, robots in disguiiiiiiiise".
There are no words.
Ok, yes there are. They are FLYING robots. They are in THE SKIES, aren't they? Any stupid robot can don a costume, but how many robots do you know that can take to flight? My 20-years-strong version is clearly better. I will not accept reality today.

A seriously disturbing picture.
Sarah - take it from a 37-year-old who grew up on the _original_ TV cartoon (not the lame knock-offs that you might have seen when you were a pre-teen and later). At the time, it was a novelty that a robot could "disguise" itself by transforming into a vehicle. Contrary to your thoughts, robots that could fly "in the skies" wasn't as novel a concept as the transformation ability.
my question was always whether it was "more THAT meets the eye" or "more THAN meets the eye"...and neither really make sense.

Also, Johnny Socko was fantabulous.
Transformers > Go-Bots.
NERD ALERT!
He's my hero.
I never did get an Optimus Prime for Christmas either...and I'm still pretty bitter about that.
