The Energon Pub

I've been watching a lot of te cartoons recently (Rebirth) and playing with some headmaster/targetmaster/etc toys recently, and have been looking at some pics recently. I have a question that has been on my mind a long time:

How in Cybertron do the humans/Nebulans manage not to crush themselves transforming into the heads/guns/engines?

Am I missing something? :-?

there really in a command center that controls the robot heads/gun/etc in the bot itself. and when it transformer the bot becomes a exosute, but in masterforce the human does become the robot key and is in no command center.

So they're really in a little pod? You can clearly see them folding up, especially the Targetmasters...

The "binary bonding" technique replaces their skeletal system with a robotic one.

Or something to that extent.

Alien technology.

Helping you to suspend disbelief since before L Ron Hubbard dreamed of being reincarnated as Suri Cruise.

In the US Marvel comics, the human "masters" became cyborgs. Caused all sorts of hell for Spike's personal life.

Also just remember its transformers a lot of stuff still does not make much since to us for our logic.

This is one of the images I was talking about.

I just can't see how Ginrai/Hi Q can do this without crushing the hell out of themselves (especially the legs).

Spotlight Magnus to the rescue!!

Although it is the IDW continuity the principles should be the same. The “masters” don’t have bodies like you or I, instead they have mechanical parts instead of a skeleton and muscle tissues. So technically they wouldn’t feel pain because their bodies could easily move in ways that even a contortionist could only dream of.

This picture and caption from the Ultra Magnus spotlight should give you a better idea of what is actually going on inside one of the Headmasters bodies.

Like I said. Binary bonding process...

So in other words the internl system is somehow replaced with robotics?

A wizard did it...

Sometimes you really just have to close your eyes, suspend your disbelief and hope the next series will be less confusing...

2) with the binary binding.. Can the humaniod die? Naturally or by being killed? When they do do the robots get their lives back? Could the robot just say F off and live the humaniod?
