I went on Transformers on Saturday. It was sort of like being in a chase sequence from one of the Bourne movies, lots of crap flying around with very little sense of who's doing what to whom. Universal crams you full of background on the characters in the queue, but, as I never watched the cartoon, and maybe saw ONE of the movies, I was going in as ignorant as a guest could be.
So, this All-Spark thingie is apparently very important. Check. Spelling errors in the subtitles of the pre-show videos? Must be some sort of code. 3D glasses! Ok! Get in the claustrophobic vehicle! (I was up against one of the side walls) Shake-a, shake-a, shake-a! Blur, blur, blur! Gratuitous Universal Bukkake moment! Oh! The vehicle I'm IN is a Transformer? Mmmkay. Exit into the incredibly unattractive Universal lower lot. Take the hideous five mile long escalator ride back up the hill. Dream of Buena Vista Street and Cars Land. Done for the summer!
Backstory question: Why is the NEST insignia sometimes a Transformers head and sometimes a skull?
Also, I don't think it's insignificant that I spent the earlier half of the day watching Tranvestites play charity softball. Spooooky.
