- Okay. One more time. I'm not gonna repeat my entire previous post, but...
-
- Don't bother rubbing your eyes. *YES* --- Megatron and Soundwave and various
- other Tranformers *DO* change size! This is not meant to be some kind of
- subtle trick that the show is trying to pull on you.
-
- The reason it seems so damn silly that a two-ton robot can change into a
- two-pound hand-held device is that you think to yourself that these are
- "robots." They're *not* "robots" in the sense of those two-arms-and-two-legs
- metal things that people build on earth. They are Transformers --- and com-
- paring them to a robot built by earthlings is like comparing a carbon-based
- life form to a lump of coal. Same ingredients, but a decidedly different
- degree of complexity.
- Megatron has an anti-matter weapon, which he rarely used. It links up to
- a black hole, INTERDIMENSIONALLY. That's right, interdimensionally. This
- ability, if present in some other Transformers (and why shouldn't it be?)
- would easily explain changes in mass, as well as where Prime's trailer
- goes when he leaves vehicle mode (unless he keeps it around for fighting).
- It would even explain where all the weapons go, and how they seem to just
- appear when needed. Ever watch the commercial "bumper" with Autobot Blurr?
- It shows his gun materializing in his hand.
-
- The reason Transformers are able to change size is because their internal
- workings are way, *way* beyond anything Earth has achieved. Period.
