I think he's trying to tell me something.
I've noticed an odd coincidence, every time Michael Bay comes out with a Transformers movie I break something. Last movie broke my head. This movie broke my leg. I'm starting to get worried. Is it just the vortex of suck caused by these movies that is doing it? The combination of amazing computer animated robot on robot action along with scripts so bad they warp space. Remember as per the general theory of relativity, space will recoil from bad movies at an exponential increasing rate with increasing suck from the plot. The rate of contraction modified by the amount of explosions and number of rendering cycles spent on the computer graphics in the movie causing any Michael Bay to be a perfect singularity of suck, a suckularity if you like.

The thing is I don't think the suckularity is breaking my bones indiscriminately. I think it's in intentionally planned on Michael Bay's part but I don't know why. Did I wrong him somewhere, is it mere malice on his part, or is he trying to warn me, I don't know. So, if any of you out there can find out what Michael Bay is trying to tell me by continually releasing movies that maim me, please for the sake of my lovely but crunchy bones, let me know!

Now back to your regular sensible Slouch.

The original Transformers was a veiled warning of the impending energy crisis. Cybertron had run out of resources and the Autobots found a foreign country planet that was filled with resources. While Autobots fought bravely for these tiny easily squishied creatures against the evil forces of the Decepticons, they also needed oil energon. But the Autobots always tried to use sustainable renewable resources (in the 80s? good luck with that) while Decepticons would happily fly in and plunder resources with incredible efficiency.

In the first movie, it was clear that all technology past 1950 was designed by reverse engineering Megatron (and the Japanese who would take these discoveries and make them more efficient). This changed the focus from energy crisis to making advanced technology the new addiction, the new Pandora box. In the end, the statement is fairly clear, if you embrace too much technology, it will overload you and you will die.

So, something in your bones represents a horrible dependency, maybe on energy, maybe on technology, maybe on calcium. And eventually, you will learn to live within your energy, technology and calcium requirements. Or you will embrace the Decepticon way of finding people with rich deposits of calcium and sucking the marrow right out from them. Or using more energy and technology to reinforce your ever fragile skeleton.

The metaphor kinda breaks down from there...

So, my future is as a calcium scavenging ghoul. Stealing from living and dead alike.


Awesome, I can so do that.

This all reads like a D-List version of Stranger Than Fiction, ya know, the one that wouldn't be able to pull Emma Thompson as the lead...
