    I love the io9 Backgrounders. Thanks Graeme.
    Slightly OT:
    Who is going to be doing the movie review, and when can we expect it?

    "the one where giant robots turn into vehicles, dinosaurs, cassette tapes and all manner of other unassuming objects..."


    For the record, a giant mechanical dinosaur is VERY assuming.

    WTF? Why does it sound like Michael Bay is STILL lying?


    Megatron is shown pinning down Sam in the trailer, and that doesn't look like a flashback! Plus, there'd be no point in having the cube "shard" in the plot if he wasn't going to be somehow revived by it.

    I just noticed something...that picture has Ol' Megs with a CLAW. He will come back from a trench in the SEA.

    Incidentally, this also turns into a tank.

    How about calling it Energon (AWESOME) instead of Allspark (POOP)

    @se7a7n7: How about getting your comparisons correct? Energon and the Allspark serve different purposes. Energon is the fuel/food, Allspark gives machines life.

    @EmersonKodie:

    1. I don't remember any reference to energon in the movie.


    2. Energon was a constant topic in the cartoons.


    3. You say "Energon is the fuel/food, Allspark gives machines life"... so if Energon food/fuel doesn't give them life, what does it do?

    @se7a7n7: They just shifted their focus. Energon isn't that important in the movies. Since they transform into the most fuel inefficient vehicles on earth, one has to assume that they've figured it all out.

    He'll be back because they put him in the Milwaukee Trench... which isn't nearly as deep as the Mariana.
