If Bumblebee was a carbon copy of a real car, then his engine and lugage compartment would not be able to hide all the parts needed for a robot mode. How identical can you get before a robot mode not possible. I think it would be much more sendible for all the cars to have blacked out windows, and that the car doors not be able to open for pasengers as the whole inside was dedicated for robot mechanics. Even if transformers were real, I think that they would only be able to disguise there selves to an extent, they would not be able to be functioning cars in the sense humans could rive them. And I would expect to see some slits and grooves where panels would split apart. To transform into a car then have a displayable engine and a whole interiorfor humans to sit, just doesn't seem like there would be much lerft for robot workings.
Some of the Alternators did a damn good job of hiding robot bits, actually.

And I don't accept it's alien technology anythings possible, as there are many aspects about transformers where everyday limits are valid. Of course there technology is more advanced, but there is no way an Alternator could actualy be a fully working transformer, it would just be a shell, with no inner workings. Alternators are great designs, and do a great job of showing a detailed alt mode and a highly detailed and poseable robot. But if transformers were real, they would have a lot of workings not just to be a robot, but to actualy get from one form to another.

Well, this is really a pretty pointless debate, but I thought the Alternators response was a quite reasonable one actually. If you don't accept that the technology would be far more advanced and wouldn't require the same parts and inner workings that make "our" cars work, well, there's half the reason there are no "real" transformers now...and not really much left to ponder then. If the car, more or less, requires our technology to function, then what technology has an advanced, independently operating, fully functional robot working?

This.

Dollars to doughnuts, I bet you this is one of if not the most impressive MP figure yet.

Intah-wib-buls?

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

If all those inner workings are meant to exist as part of their transformation, even one non-life threatening strike to a portion of their body would completely inhibit transformation.
Discarding the shield of suspension of disbelief allows the sword of truthiness to cut both ways.
