Apparently not.

Your place or mine? ;;)


Make it Neko's place so you actually have to pay for the airplane ticket to get there. :P


If she anywhere near Wisconsin? I feel the sudden urge to kick someone from there. :P


Last I heard, she was down in Alabama. If you consider a couple hundred miles close, then yes. :P

Not to people who need to get laid.

...Uh...not that I can read it...Heh...I can't read it, what does it say? I wouldn't understand, how is the 1 pronounced? "Guh?"

Honestly, I have no idea what that says. I must be too old.

I loled at the comment that they learnt about Earth on the Internet. Just look at the stuff on here anyway. I want to read the movie novel but haven't found it anyway where I live. Just have to order on-line I guess.

Nico wrote:At first, this line sounded stupid but i think it make sense. The internet is very rich in information. If i was able to acces a huge chunk of culture from an alien race, i would do it.

So, i wondered. How did they accessed the web. The answer was simple. They invented it. It was reverse-engineered out of Megatron. Cybertron quite probably had its own "internet".

How can they learn so fast? Simple. If they can hack the Pentagon they can download Wikipedia and other website in a mere nanosecond!

So, does it make sense?


The didn't necessary have learned english so fast. The Internet concept started way back in the 60s or 70s. Forgot exactly when. Anyway, it eventually boomed starting the 90s.

TF were supposedly existing for millions of years.

Given the 90s as the reference time frame, they had more than a decade's time to learn the language. Much more time than an average earthling need to learn a new language.

Make me wonder. If they did learn english from the Internet. They may have learned other languages too. French? Spanish? Or even Chinese?

It will be interesting to see them use those learning in the sequel.

P.S. Chinese language will probably be the closest semblance to Cybertronian language. Given the type of writings they have.

That would be awesome! :D


No it wouldn't.

Anyways, in the book, Optimus Prime talks Chinese to Sam first and upon hearing them say "I think he is talking Chinese", he swiches to English. The reason for speaking Chinese is that he obviously had data stating that it is the most spoke language on Planet Earth.


Me thinks thou protests too much. ;;)

I thought the Chinese bit was funny in the novel, though I am glad they kept it out of the film, opting for Jazz's "What's crakin' lil' bitches" instead. That got more then a few chuckles from my various screenings.


I got a funny shirt for you about that hacker talk!



Do pray tell. :grin:


I can't find it on the site anymore, but it had this written on the shirt:

Oh c'mon! It's not that hard to read!...right? :-s


Ahh good ol T-shirt hell

Nah. Written Cybertronian tends to be viewed as looking like Chinese characters, but as for the spoken, laguage I think that's a little different.

They are all of the same race. They may have different dialects when they speak but as far as wi-fi type communicating its gotta be pretty standardized for them.
