What has this film taught us?

Personally, I learned that Michael Bay can take something that should be awesome and make it very, very mediocre.  This could have been outstanding but to me was just meh.

I haven't seen it yet, but I hope to learn if Sideswipe is a Go-Bot.

You know, a lot of people who experiment with illegal drugs thought the movie was mediocre...(not that i'm saying you actually do that) ;)

What is a go-bot anyways? It is a Bot, in other words a Robot, that goes. So I guess any robot that goes is a go-bot, so perhaps the term isn't as offensive as I used to think...

I've learned that any machine brought to sentience by a mysterious cube that transforms into... wait for it... a smaller cube, is immediately violent, eschewing all forms of rational thoughts such as "Who am I? Why am I here? Who are these beings who I see around me? Are they friend or foe? Perhaps my creators? How might I communicate with them?". By logical deduction, and the lack of any evidence to the contrary, the cube creates only Decepticons, which would explain why Megatron wanted it so badly. I also submit the theory that there must be a second cube out there somewhere that creates only Autobots.

I have learned that Transformers are radioactive enough to cause a human being to give off a considerable amount of radioactivity after a few minutes exposure.  (The film says 14 rads but that's a measure of exposure not how radioactive decay is measured which is what the geiger counter detects.)  From this I gather that Transformers are likely neutron emitters (other forms of radiation exposure wouldn't make Sam emit radiation that quickly without also reducing much of LA to a smoking crater) and that means that in a day or two it is very likely that anyone who has been around them will be dead from radiation poisoning.  Presumably this happened a few minutes after the end of the movie.

A "Go-Bot" was a cheap 80s knock-off toyline of the original Transformers.  It has since been bought up and integrated into the Transformers toy line.  I had some of both when I was young.

As for the thread...
I learned that every old African American woman is a complete b*tch, who will either flip you off or scream at you from the other side of the house for no reason.

I learned that Michael Bay can't even get a 2 hour toy commercial right.


Gamera

I learned there's only one way to distinguish a Ding-Dong from a Fecal Puck.

Okay, hands up, who else IMMEDIATELY thought of Sideswipe being angry the second Mike mentioned Go-Bots?


Personally I learned that kinkiness isn't limited to biology as even a robot can enjoy giving a golden shower.

RVR II

I learned that buying a used $4000.00 Camaro, then hurting it's feelings will 'magically' turn into a Brand New 2008 Camaro ???

I Tried this on my 1999 Dodge Ram, Hoping it would transform into a 'Viper' powered Dodge Ram racing truck..
Maybe I said something wrong cause nothing happened.. :'( :'(

Sideswipe

Maybe if your Ram was really an Alien robot that just looked like a Ram it might turn into a brand new one.

Tony Farms AKA Puma Man

I realized that Shia LeBeouf made a whole career out of looking scared, like he's going to shit his pants any minute.

I learned that hot girls who are the daughters of grease monkeys are extremely shallow and go out with guys with six-pack abs just because they like their bodies and don't care that these guys are always complete jerks.

I learned that the writers of Transformers were trying to give George Lucas a run for his money, by coming up with this absurd notion of a "cube" that transforms into objects 1/1,000 of its size and causes small electronics to come to life and immediately start shooting things and...

What the hell is going on? Where am I? Are you Monty?
