Well the US Basketball Team might have beaten us to the Dream Team name, but Theme Team is all ours. As decided at dinner last night, our theme for this trip is Transformers - More Than Meets The Eye, and boy there are a lot of Transformers out there to choose from.
Which Transformer will you be? What pathetic joke will be attached, read on to find out.
Tonah - Devastator (Decepticon)
Wikipedia says: Devastator is a combination of the six Constructicons, Hook, Scrapper, Mixmaster, Long Haul, Scavenger, and Bonecrusher. Devastator was the strongest Transformer when he was first introduced on the series.
Mossy - Inferno (Autobot)
Wikipedia says: Inferno is a fearless Autobot who has a firetruck as his vehicle form. [1] He relishes the attention he gets for saving lives and extinguishing fires any chance he gets, but Inferno's intentions are always noble, though he rarely gets involved in the battles. Inferno would be a lot better at his job if he weren't so easily distracted. He genuinely wants to be responsible and perform his job well, but he simply cannot resist getting involved in combat. The rugged and powerful, Inferno likes things to be as intense as possible, although he prefers the heat of battle to the heart of a burning building. He's not unaware of the seriousness of his function, and he does enjoy the chances it offers him to save innocent lives. It's just that Inferno can't turn down an opportunity to get into the thick of the action.
Bavro says: Go you Big Red Fire Engine
Alex - Starscream (Decepticon)
Wikipedia says: Starscream is Megatron's air commander and second-in-command, but is eager to usurp him as leader of the Decepticons. His scheming has at times cost the Decepticons decisive advantages. Among his arsenal are cluster bombs and a paralyzing null ray.
Bavro says: Easy to spot thanks to his distinctive blue shoes. Let's hope the hotel has thick walls, Al is apparently a screamer.
Amy - Bombshell (Decepticon)
Wikipedia says: Possibly the most intelligent of the Insecticons; serves as Decepticon mechanic on one occasion. Can control other Transformers by implanting cerebro-shells in their heads. Transforms into a Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle.
Bavro says: The google search for Transformers Bombshell was the most fun of all, let's take a look...
The actual transformer:
The most common result:
And one for the Australian fans:
Boy this post is going to be long, don't be reading it on your iphone...
Bav - Lightspeed (Autobot)
Wikipedia says: Mellow observer with a dry sense of humor. Loves being in space.
Bavro says: Why is there no Transformer called Chromedome?
Bec - Runamuck (Decepticon)
Wikipedia says: An energetic cowboy-type who regards himself and Runabout as two of the Decepticons' "hardest-chargin' dudes."
Bavro says: Runamuck, the perfect name for someone when half their stories start with, I woke up somewhere...
Dave - Optimus Prime (Autobot)
Wikipedia says: Once a young robot known as Orion Pax, he was attacked by Megatron in the episode War Dawn and later rebuilt, making him into the formidable Optimus Prime. As leader of the Autobots, he has dedicated himself to a life of stopping the Decepticons wherever they attack.
Bavro says: Once a young basketball player known as Hey Isn't That Dave Smith?
Elisa - Reflector (Decepticon)
Wikipedia says: Reflector is the only Transformer whose robot mode consists of three robots, Viewfinder, Spectro & Spyglass, which merge together to form one camera. The three robots almost always act and speak in unison with each other. Can create blinding flares that last for 15 seconds.
Bavro says: More than capable of holding three conversations at once.
Es - The All Spark (No Affiliation) - The Transformer equivalent of an hermaphrodite
Wikipedia says: The creator of us all.
Bavro says: Originally known in the comic books as The Matrix, it was renamed the All Spark for the movie to stop people making reference to Keanu Reeves, but bad luck, here he is...
Gary - Ratchet (Autobot)
Wikipedia says: The Autobots' resident doctor and mechanic. While he is a medic, he doesn't have a particularly good bedside manner as he frequently throws things like wrenches at his patients if they got hurt for doing something stupid/something they could've avoided. He only threw things once he had repaired them properly of course.
Bavro says: Nice mono-brow
Kylie - Astrotrain (Decepticon)
Wikipedia says: Arrogant and self-obsessed, Astrotrain once tried to build his own army of trains to take over the Decepticons and later set himself up as a god on a primitive, energy-rich planet.
Bavro says: The obvious choice for someone who relies on public transport.
Lemons - Thundercracker (Decepticon)
Wikipedia says: Has doubts about the Decepticon cause, that was rarely shown in the series. Can create deafening sonic booms that have only been represented in the series by Megatron in Heavy Metal War, and the emission of irritatingly loud noise which Starscream complained about at the conclusion of Fire on the Mountain. His other notable weapons are his incendiary guns and cruise missiles.
Bavro says: Can create deafening sonic booms. Nailed it!
Loz - Cybertron (The Homeworld of the Transformers)
Wikipedia says: Long ago, Cybertron was peaceful, until the evil Decepticons waged war against the Autobots. Both sides fought for control of the planet, each ruling one half.
Bavro says: Can not travel with the other Transformers as she is the size of a small planet or a large moon
Renee - Prowl (Autobot)
Wikipedia says: A logical and competent tactician who operated as Optimus Prime's right-hand man in many early episodes.
Bavro says: It's a police car, that's a gift when you are this far down the list.
Ryzah - Bumblebee (Autobot)
Wikipedia says: Often referred to as the "smallest Autobot", Bumblebee often volunteers for missions where his small size is an asset. He also possessed the best eyesight of all the Autobots which made him an ideal scout.
Bavro says: His voice-box has been damaged and he hardly talks. Once again Bumblebee ends up with a woman way hotter than him.
The final count:
7 Decepticons, 6 Autobots, 1 All Spark, 1 Small Planet
Transform and Roll Out to Brisbane.
