Saturday Morning Fever

A little something for the men. On Wired, they are talking about the most ridiculous Transformers ever. I hold no particular love for the Transformers. I remember Saturday morning commericals, the theme song, and trying to transform the things, and breaking off little necessary pieces. But the men in our age group hold a special place in their hearts for these things, so for them, here's a little information about the worst. transformers. ever.

Cosmos (Transformers: Gen 1)
In a rush to head off some sort of high-tech gas crisis, the Autobots crash landed on prehistoric Earth. After being reawakened some 4 million years later by a volcanic eruption, the indestructible TRS-80 that served as their heap's intergalactic GPS chose alternate forms for these space robots to assume so as to blend in with contemporary Earth machines. And yet somehow Cosmos ended up transforming into a flying saucer. 'Cause, y'know, that's totally inconspicuous.

More than meets the eye...I guess.
