Transformers, the Bighearted Machine Myth That Refuses to Rust
Autobots roll out, and take the long way, with style, grit, and the kind of stubborn hope that survives bad odds and worse parking.
Transformers is a loud idea with a steady spine. Change shape, keep your values. Get knocked down, get back up, keep moving. That is the Optimus Prime Experiment in a nutshell, a running field report from Jimmy Jangles on what happens when a leader is not just strong, but decent, and insists that decency still matters when everything is on fire.
And yes, we love the Petro Rabbits here.
Not as a cute side note, but as a reminder that even the toughest legends have room for weird joy, for rituals, for the small stories you tell again because they keep the bigger story from turning cold. Transformers works because it never fully abandons the kid-brain wonder, even when it is doing war and sacrifice and the hard stuff.
So this page is a launchpad. A set of links that map the experiment, the laughs, the quotes, the trivia, and the lore trail that keeps looping back to one clean signal: be the kind of force that protects people, not the kind that uses them. Autobots roll out, but do it with purpose.
