Everyone I know believes that the upcoming Transformers movie will be awful. Some cite the director as the problem, while others say the fact that it isn’t a cartoon is the real problem.

I say that if you are a true fan of the Transformers, then neither of the above would matter. You would stand behind Optimus Prime in all of his forms. Needless to say, I am hopeful that this movie will be enjoyable.

I just spotted a desktop wallpaper-sized image on Autoblog. The photo includes the disguised forms of several of the Transformers, including Prime, Jazz and Bumblebee. Take a look; I’ve already made it my wallpaper. GM fans (like us) should be happy to see the General’s vehicles dominating the lineup.

How can you be a Transformers fan watching  Yahoo’s exclusive trailer of the upcoming movie and not be excited about it? I can’t wait to see it. Did you catch Bumblebee? I’m pretty sure I saw Barricade (a new Decepticon for the movie) in there too. I saw Prime, but only in his truck form. Where was Megs? I’m hoping that he doesn’t look like a reject from a sci-fi hentai movie anymore.

Nadia and I are a beyond the label “Transformers fans.” Maybe some kind of uber fan or something. Our cars, computer equipment and game consoles carry names of our favorite characters. We’ve got figures all over the house, some still in their boxes and others guarding key locations; for example, Unicron menacingly points at you if you are in the living room, and Prime has his gun held up high as you near my D&D book collection. I’m getting ready to buy Transformers The Movie for the *fourth* time, as I already have two VHS versions and one DVD. Finally, I have the entire movie sitting on my Zen Vision:M, just in case I need to listen to awesome 80’s hair band music and watch Galvatron get thrown into space while on the bus.

Needless to say, I can’t wait for this movie.

By the way, if anyone comments about lameass Voltron being better than Transformers, I will personally visit you to stab you.

Earn your place in geekdom by guessing what movie soundtrack these lyrics come from:

After all is said and done
You’ve never walked, you’ve never run,
You’re a winner

You got the moves, you know the streets
Break the rules, take the heat
You’re nobody’s fool

You’re at your best when when the goin’ gets rough
You’ve been put to the test, but it’s never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

Do not cheat by using Google! Either you know the song, or you don’t.
