And while you are peeling all this apart bit by bit, try these on for size:
HOW did Soundwave and Megatron SHRINK while transforming?
WHY did some Autobots actually fall into love with human girls?
WHY did Megatron's insides look like some Disneyland
Star Tours ride?
HOW could Prowl perform such stunning gymnastic stunts for his size and bulk?
WHY some Transformers (like Starscream playing hide-and-seek in a shopping mall, for instance) manage to fit into human-sized buildings and vehicles?
WHY Bumblebee's belly and feet shrink to trim, graceful size in robot mode?
HOW Decepticons COULD fit into Astrotrain's body in rocket mode?
How Transformers COULD blink sometimes.
WHY is Ravage a kitty and Laserbeak a BIRD?
Where did Hound and Bumblebee get their names?
How COULD Transformers look like such tall, stunning hunks with such good-looking faces and those big, manly thighs that could easily fold underneath them if necessary?
How Starscream could go sprawling into natural positions in spite of his bulk and his wings after Megatron belted him?
I could go on and on, along with all the silly fairy tales that Transformers keep winding up in, like traveling back in time to the medieval days or ending up in some alien kid's bedroom, so chill, dudes. This is just an animated space fantasy for the little children at the time. Meant to be enjoyed and not studied or prodded like it's some sudden new discovery.
If you want some SERIOUS stuff, try going after Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, or UFO sightings.
