Real Transformers

The Japanese has actually invented real Transformers... Well... a much smaller and dumber version of Transformers...
Anyway, Sam Witwicky is right in the Transformers movie! "Super advanced robots must be from Japan."

Transformers Movie

I've watched the Transformers Movie yesterday. It's excellent!! I think this is the best movie of the year... I am not a Transformers fans. Actually, I prefer Japanese robots anime, but this movie is a must see... incredible special effects... humorous... excellent computer graphics... I would give this movie 5 stars!!

The plot is simple:
The battle between the Autobots (good guys) and the Decepticons (bad guys) has destroyed their planet. Their origin "Allspark Cube" has fallen into earth many years ago. So, the Autobots and the Decepticons come to earth to look for it. Earth is now the new battle ground. Humans need to help Autobots to fight against Decepticons in order to ensure their survivals.

The plot is almost flawless. However, I do have one question:
The "Allspark Cube" created good robots (Autobots) and bad robots (Decepticons) in the original planet. Why does it only create bad robots on earth? After the video cam turns into robots, it tries to shoot people with machine guns and rockets. After the car turns into robots, it tries to kill the driver and passengers. How come there is no good robot created on earth?

Something intesting about Transformers fans

A man in Ohio has legally changed his name to Optimus Prime.
(Click here to see what he looks like.)

A man in Seattle has legally changed his middle name to Megatron. He used to be known as Jason Michael Burrows, but on July 2, Jason went to the courthouse and stood before the judge, who "ordered and decreed" he change his name to honor his childhood hero, Megatron. So, His name is now Jason Megatron Burrows.

Would you change your name to be the same as a comic action hero?
I wouldn't.
May be I just don't have a hero that I like THAT much...

Humanoid robot Wakamaru

Isn't this robot cute and adorable? I love its smile...
Can you imagine this robot being the office's receptionist?

Well... This 1-meter-tall yellow humanoid robot is called Wakamaru, developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. Wakamaru can identify visitors, conduct a simple conversation and move by itself to take visitors along preset routes to rooms or other destinations while singing a song. Do you want one in your office?

A Japanese company, People Staff, is recruiting 10 of these Wakamaru receptionist robots to work at businesses and institutions in central Japan. The rental fee starts at Cdn $1,027 per day and costs about Cdn $25,667 for a year's service, which is about the same level of expenses necessary for a human worker.

It's kind of ironic. The company is called PEOPLE Staff, but it is employing ROBOT staffs.
