Reasons to make up your mind in advance that Transformers 2 will be terrible


Geektyrant has a rundown of some of the gossip surrounding Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, including a list of the robots in the film. Among the highlights:

• Some of the Autobots are deliberately stupid and childlike, but that’s what the kids like, according to Michael Bay. I’m having a tough time imagining Autobots acting even stupider than hiding behind trees and peeking around corners to evade detection from humans, rather than TRANSFORMING INTO INCONSPICUOUS AUTOMOBILES LIKE THEY ARE BUILT TO DO.

• If one comment is interpreted correctly, the robots will fart. The comment that comes from is fairly ambiguous though, and relies on how one defines “outgas.”

• The news has been out for a while that Jetfire will use a cane. But we now learn that, since he’s old, he forgets things and causes problems for the Autobots who are stuck babysitting Grandpa Transformer.
