Because like taming a small child, it's really hard, and much easier to stomp them out,

Isn't beating up babies illegal...

yes, though then again, they aren't exactly babies...and we don't have laws against beating newly sapient robotic life forms.

I didn't say it was good to do, just easier.

Makes me wonder if maybe my first idea isn't true, that their like primitive Transformers...and their being killed because the Autobots want to be a secrete, kind of hard to do with another race of sapient robots evolving on the planet.

I guess you guys are right.

A good friend of mine saw it today, and he said it rocked. If you like seeing sh*t explode, and giant sapient robots beat each other to death, anyways.

Which I do.

He did say the military action was unrealistic, like standing on top of an Abrams during a battle (if you want to take out giant alien robots, you'll want to fire that 120mm smoothbore, and not with someone standing up there.)

Still, I'm seeing it on Monday.

I'll have to see it myself.

He might've been thinking about his tour in the Gulf.

TF reprodction is... complicated, and varies from franchise to franchise. They sort of have genders. In G1, Optimus had a girlfriend-Elita One. Arcee had... feelings for Hot Rod, and then Springer. And don't even get me started on Blackarachnia and Silverbolt from Beast Wars/Machines.

As for the movies, well the bikes had female voices.

Anyway, just got back from seeing it. Loved it, too. Incredible action. Interesting backstory, too. Some lame comedy, but meh.

Am I the only person who actually enjoyed the awkward, lame comedy in the first one?

Probably.

See? That was awkward and lame, yet I enjoyed it. I guess you're right.

I thought it was funny...
