The iPod… Autobot or Decepticon?
Posted by Lab Rat
We’ve suspected there’s “More Than Meets The Eye� to Apple’s iPod for some time now, however we may finally have confirmation. Macenstein reader Soundwave reports that according to a supposedly authentic “leaked� version of the upcoming live-action Transformers movie script, Apple’s ubiquitous music player may be making a cameo in the movie. No word yet on whether the device would be an Autobot (good guy) or Decepticon (bad guy), but we say, why not both? How about 2 black Decepticon iPod nanos versus a white video iPod (our money’s on the full-size iPod). Personally I am looking forward to seeing if iPods from Cybertron are any more scratch-resistant than those found on Earth. We’ll have to wait until July 4th, 2007 to find out for sure.

Why not have SoundWave be the iPod hifi and let LaserBeak, Rumble and Ravage be various iPods??? Rumble could be the full sized iPod, Ravage can be a black nano while LaserBeak can be a shuffle.
That way you keep with the Gen 1 concepts of SoundWave “playing” his “cassettes”.
Bix, that’s one way for Apple to actually sell some Hi-Fi’s!
While I wouldn’t rule out a small cameo, I doubt they’d make a major character an iPod. That rules out a lot of merchandising, and this movie is all about bringing in some money from toys and fast-food tie-ins, I suspect.
Still, I am looking forward to it very much.
Why do the bad guys have to be black? Damned Hollywood and their stereotypes.
Hey Macenstein, your logo is kind of Decepticon-esque.. or junkyardicon-esque more likely. what was the name of the junk yard planet robots?
I think the metaphor needs to be updated a little, we no longer have cassetts, etc. Blaster/ Soundwave could be iPod Video, iPod accessories could be other transformers. Like the speakers could be Rumble and he had a brother?, microphone could be Lazerbeak (he did the spying), Rampage could be something else.
I just think they need to adapt the metaphor to current technology. That was the whole story is that the robots disquise themsolves as everyday object on earth.
yeah, but how can Soundwave be a friggin’ iPod?
I heard he might only be a 4-foot robot for some reason in this one. That is bush league man. Make him 30 feet tall like the others!
Tell me what you're thinking...
