A Tribute To The Film's Star

[Junkyard]

Mountain Dewatron, Hollywood's most promising young talent! He only had a small part in Transformers, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who was wowed by his enthusiasm and screen presence.

For more on his story, see this thread:

Here's a pic of him and Megan Fox outside the premier of Transformers:


Hope I'm not the only MDT fan on these boards!

I heard he auditioned as the fourth Soda Popper*, but was rejected on the grounds that while he was able to dispense caffeine, he was not himself affected by it, being a non-biological entity. Racial discrimination lawsuits were expected, but surprisingly never went forward. According to rumor, this is because they had blackmail photos of him with a Japanese used-panties vending machine.


*Soda Poppers: former child TV stars who of late have made guest appearances in the new Sam & Max games by Telltale Games.

I heard that he has been "passing" as a Transformer, and is actually a ......dun, dun, dun..... Go-Bot!

[Junkyard]

Dude, he fires cans of Mountain Dew from his guns. He's too extreme to be a G-Bot.

[bettertomorrowamy]

He's overcompensating for his Go-Bot inadequacies.

[Junkyard]

Oh, and I found a concept sketch.



Was the logo on his head in the film?

[Ortega]

the funny thing is...that was version 3!....

I can't beleive someone actually desgined two other version for just a product placement....

Watcha talkin' bout?  Mountain Dewatron NEEDED three versions cause he's just that cool.  I vote MDT for President in '08!

Hey Junkyard, wanna try and see if we can start a cult following for him?  Get Michael Bay to cameo in the next movies just for kicks and giggles?

[Junkyard]

Cult, yes. Bay cameo- only if it's to sacrifice him.

[Hamdingers]

As if the normal Decepticons aren't violent enough, now we have a Caffiene-crazed, sugar-rushed 'Bot, I don't want to know what happens when MDT's caffiene buzz starts to wear off

it'd be interesting if the cans of 'Dew he fires were also autonomos 'bots as well, he could alternate between his Caffienated Projectiles or Autonomos Caffienated Buzzdroids (ACB's)

[Junkyard]

Also, someone made a working action figure:


That is so damn sweet.

[Jinto]

Do you think after a strenuous day of acrobatic combat, he likes to unwind by tricking individuals into pulling his finger so he can fizz all over them?

[Junkyard]

You know, all he'd need is to have one seizure to blow all his limbs right the heck off. The problem with storing carbonated beverages in your arms and legs.

[RobtheBarbarian]

Imagine if he were ever heavily damaged in battle... he'd self-destruct in a green explosion kind of like the Predator. Although, from extensive personal experience I should point out that for whatever reason Mountain Dew isn't as violently fizzy as most other sodas.

HOWEVER, imagine if a bullet ever went through one of the soda racks. All his servoes and gears would eventually get too sticky to move.

You have a point there. I rarely drink sodas these days so I'd forgotten that.

So as vulnerable as this bot is to personal soda explosions, just what use is he? Oh wait, I know. He offers caffeine IV's in exchange for servitude. That must be it. He could rake in the cash at LAN parties too.
