More than Meets the Eye

Great, non-baseball thread at USS Mariner. Make sure to read the comments as well, in particular for a discussion of how an eighty foot tall robot can transform himself into a handgun. Here is how the thread begins:

I always thought Megatron and Shockwave were ridiculously bad-ass compared to the Autobots, though clearly the size issue (huge robots compacting into guns) was unbelievable, even compared to the other robot/item size issues

Optimus Prime:
18-wheeler, low acceleration, poor handling, can haul cargo oorrr… prissy leader robot guy who seems content with no vision on how to win war

Megatron:
Gun or psychotic megalomaniac with new plan every week

Which of those should be the more effective in a quest for world domination?

And it ends with a dialogue between Grimlock, Optimus Prime, and Jazz. Have fun.
