Okay, here I am at Starbucks at The Weld waiting for the traffic snarl to clear before I chug my way home. For some reason I seem to have made some critical miscalculation cos the traffic now seems even heavier than it was an hour ago. So I figured I might as well work and blog a quickie at the same time...if people could actually do both, that is.
 
Transformers. Right. I watched it on Tuesday with Hot Babe. Now this is gonna be lame but I figured out why Hot Babe and Transformers are so alike - they're both "more than meets the eye". HAHA...  Corny line. Couldn't help it. Now if only she could transform...
 
Well, anyway, the movie was awesome. I'm gonna watch it again, if I can. It really brings back memories when I was a kid. Optimus Prime in the cartoon was as much an icon for kids back then as red underwear was to Superman. The tranformation sequences were quite eye-popping as well. I think I would've preferred if they'd made the Transformers stay more true to the original. I mean Megatron as an alien jet? Come on! Okay, so maybe it wouldn't be realistic for a gargantuan Megatron to transform into a puny gun but something along those lines would've been good. Say, a cannon perhaps. And more familiar names for the Decepticons would've been welcome. Who the heck is Barricade? They should have introduced Decepticons like Thundercracker or Rumble or Soundwave. Hang on, was that radio Decepticon supposed to be Soundwave? Seriously, I thought the best looking Transformer in the movie was Starscream. I managed to pick out some lines which they "borrowed" from the cartoon movie. "It's just you and me, Megatron." - said by Optimus Prime in both movie versions. Still, the movie is coolness personified. I've to watch it again.
 
Which reminds me, I should go home and look for my set of Constructicons toys. That'll be part 2, when I can find and unite them into Devastator. I should snap a photo when I'm done! Okay, part 2 will be oh, next month? Haha...
