What is the Matrix?

The Matrix is the accumulated wisdom of all the autobots.

No one can be told what RiffTrax is... you have to hear it for yourself (this is actually true).

Aw, c'mon... if the Autobots were that wise, they'd have started firing when they saw Michael Bay's ship approaching.

I think I remember there being somewhere (not in the movies) a description of the processing power of a high-end desktop being barely capable of rendering one hair on an Agent's head.

The cooling fans alone must take up half of North America.

What actually took place is under debate, but here is the rumored conversation between Optimus
Prime and Michael Bay:
"Alright Bay... we won't kill you, but if you totally $*%& this up, we will tear you apart
like a snotty kleenex."

I must admit that I'm anticipating the Transformers movie quite a bit (see avatar). I'll heartily second the dismemberment of Bay if he screws it up.

I'll also admit that the source material isn't exactly Shakespeare, so all he'll need is some cool robots kicking some serious butt and a semi-coherent story and it'll be a success in my eyes.
