Unbounded

If I were to direct the upcoming transformers movie, I’d change the one-dimensional characterization of those robots and keep up to date with the themes explored in today’s superhero and graphic novels in introspection.

I’d portray Galvatron and Optimus Prime as middle-aged generals of their respective factions having existential and metaphysical crises. That’ll be cool. If they are sentient, they should be conscious and at least try to rationalize some phenomena in their universe.

Imagine. Galvatron consults Starscream: “Have you ever wondered how a multi-ton robot could transform into a small German Luger handgun? Where does the extra mass go?”

Optimus Prime confides to Hot Rod: “You know, I’ve always wondered where my container attachment goes whenever I transform into a humanoid robot. It goes outside of the frame and vanishes, yet it reattaches on cue.”
