Moustaches!

I just finished watching Transformers the Movie (G1, 1986). I saw it YEARS ago, but pretty much forgot everything. (And I never knew until recently that Unicrom was Orson Wells, in his final Role.) In any case, I did enjoy it...

But, and I can't help this, but there is ONE THING that I'm took away from the movie. After seeing Unicron, Cyclonius, Scourge, Wreck-gar and maybe a few others, I realized: ROBOTS DON'T NEED MOUSTACHES!!! They look SO CHEESEY on robots!

I mean seriously... If you were making a robot with potential military appication, would you finish the first test run and say, "Wel,l that was impressive, but something's missing... I know: To REALLY intimidate the enemy we'll tack an evil looking gotee and fu-manchu on his face! THERE! NOW it's complete!"

ROBOTS SHOULDN'T HAVE MOUSTACHES!!!!

I use a Dremel hobby drill. It gently grinds off my moustache and buffs out those rusty problem dents on my rear quarter panels.

Oh, I don't know too much about Transformers but even I could make a few jokes about this one.

I'm just curious though..........sure there are Transformers......they are robots but I wonder.......someone must have designed them.......who was it? And who would design a mustache? Ugh, I know I probably sound stupid for this question and there is probably another thread about who made them etc, but really, Transformers are metal, they can't create themselves, something living must have created them.

Or we could pm you in this forum.

Instead of that, I enjoy high-jacking.

The lore is different for each series.

Some (specifically the original cartoon storyline) have the Quintessons being the creators. Some have Primus (Cybertron's robot mode) being the creator of Autobots, while Unicron created the Decepticreeps.

Some don't have a good creator storyline.

Some just cheat.

Some just say they come from under the leaves used to extend workshop tables, after they are dropped off by the Storkbot.

I say Arcee is just easy.

As for the toy designers, they are just lonely little men, that sit in dark little rooms, no larger than your average broom closet, seemingly allergic to sunlight, that like to imagine how cool they would be if they were made of metal. That is how the "movie" genreation of figures grew facial hair.

LOL, so that explains it. So Transformers were never created by humans, perhaps by another robot that was created by human...........uh oh, I went cross-eyed. Ugh, don't you just hate newbie virgins like me? All I know is what I saw.....a few eps from the 1980's and that blasted video PS2 game that my six year old won't stop playing....(I'm getting tired of hearing that music and the sirens blaring because he can't play it and keeps getting caught)

I did see some of the new movie but when I queen_lynxana tries to look innocent.... watched some of it off of a bit torrent....last scene I saw was the guys capturing Bumble bee, so I have no idea how the movie even ended. Ugh, I got off topic again........thank you Capt. Morgan!

Either way, I'll probably never know who created the first Transformer....btw, who was the first transformer? I doubt if Optimus Prime would be it if according to the movie, this stuff happened over many years.

Just bash my head in if I get too annoying....remember.....Roar introduced me to this site so I'm going to ask alot of questions........blame her.

Actually, face hair on all the movie characters can be attributed to two words: Floro Dery.

I already mentioned the very lonely little man... didn't want to call a brother out!

You just cold, TT!!!!

BTW, I am showing great restraint for my Phillipino brother but not mentioning all the rude names I call make his name into.

i think moustaches signify creepiness and perhaps even a little sly quality to draw attention to their personality rather than their tactics or lack there of.

i don't know thats just me, when Cliffjumper (my BF) got a moustache it made me forget about all the silly things he does because all i had to do was look at his face, and laugh. hehehe

@ Queen lynxana, Unicron was the first Transformer. Then Primus created the original 13 Transformers after that, it was a population explosion.

Hot Shot · Post by **Hot Shot** » Sat Jun 21, 2008 8:56 am

Ok..if Unicron was the first. Who or what or how was he created?

Rattrap · Post by **Rattrap** » Sat Jun 21, 2008 10:40 am

A little monkey named Primacon, if you want to believe the cartoon.

Commander Megatron · Post by **Commander Megatron** » Sat Jun 21, 2008 4:31 pm

Ignore the cartoon, there is a post about it somewhere hold on....

Ignore the cartoon, there is a post about it somewhere hold on.... damn, can't find it.

Unicron was the Chaos bringer, he lived purely to detroy life, all life everywhere and had become very good at it. Him and Primus were energy beings and Primus had to stop him. They fought and SUns and stars exploded as the Universe shook as these two battled. Unicron was battering Primus and he realised what was happening to the Universe. He took Unicron to the psychic plain and didn't fair any better there. With his power sliping away he took one last gasp effort and tricked Unicron. The two came back throug into the physically world but materialised in lumps of barren rock. In time Primus learned to live with his sacrifice and shaped his Prison into Cybertron. Unicron shaped his Prison into the planet devourer we know but also gave himself a robot mode as well. Making him the first Transformer. Primus, realising what had happened then created robots to be his last line of defence against Unicron. Beings he dubbed THE TRANSFORMERS
