Movie Tech question, The inevitable fuel drain

Postby Flashwave » Fri Jul 06, 2007 9:40 pm

Motto: "Our society's downfall will not be this war. The war IS our society. That which will get us will be the little things. Some humanoid race, some tossed cannon, the little things that no one looks out for. THAT is for what we must be vigilant."
Weapon: Twin Shoulder-Mounted Rocket Launchers
Theoretics:

I was designing a movie verse bio for Flashwave, and dad asked s decent question. If the bots could scan and save several blueprints of several vehicles at once, COUGHmultichangersCOUGH Would there be a substancial, or at least noticible fuel drain from jumping mode to mode to mode?

I'm guessing no because fuel, despite the fact that it was basis for G1 and would have made a much better plot device than some magic mass-shifting cube, was not even mentioned once in the entire movie.

They obviously don't have fuel in the sense that we think of it. Whatever makes them go must be microscopic or at least incredibly tiny.
Buy my RiD toys! They're awesome, I promise!!!!

I prefer to think fuel is something unnecessary/secondary, in a TF, similar to their engines that just do the job of appear a real one...

I <3 U.

Yeah, their power source could be broken up into many thousands (billions?) of individual units, all throughout their body.

Hell, even WE are on the verge of electric, self generating polymers... soon, small electronic devices won't need batteries, the batteries will be their casing.

Its very possible that altering form is something that is exhausting to do.

Its also possible that there are constraints. Such as flying transformers having fundamentally lighter components or Larger powerplants more suitable to flight in alt mode.

Actually, I think that there already are small RC planes that work just like that. Or at least similar, as the whole plane is the battery.
