Transformers -- they're more than meets they eye and they will be coming to a theater near you July 4, 2007. I am interested in how Dreamworks is going to pull this off.  This leads me to a few questions my fellow Mindsayers:

1) Which were cooler, the Autobots or the Decepticons?

2) Which Transformer was your favorite?

3) Which Transformer was your least favorite?

4) Were the Dinobots even necessary?

Here are my answers:

1) Definitely the Decepticons! Sometimes villains are just cooler.

2) My favorite Transformer was Soundwave. In the cartoon he had a really neat computerized voice, unlike the other Transformers. He turned into a boom box and his cassettes were actually little transformers.  When they were in battle he would eject them and they would fight. I'm sure if Spielberg and Bey decide to use this character, he'd get an upgrade to a portable CD player! (If he hadn't already. I'm referring to the 80's cartoon)

Soundwave

3) Megatron was my least favorite. He was supposed to be the leader of the Decepticons, but he transformed into a laser gun??? Not only that, he had to jump into Starscream's hands to be fired! Lame!

4) The Dinobots was the point where Transformers "jumped the shark".
