How many of these Transformers can you name?

There are 18 robots in this panorama from the seminal Transformers episode, “Cosmic Rust.” I found this photo when wandering aimlessly doing blog research online, and couldn’t resist seeing if I could name them all.

To paraphrase Captain Pike in the Star Trek reboot, “Your blog host was captain of a post for 4 minutes, and named 16 out of 18 Transformers. I dare you to do better.”

I would ask if I’m now banned, but if I haven’t been yet, I figure I’m good to go. I’ve done far worse than miserably fail the Transformers test.

Not everyone is a renaissance geek. You have specialties. Like “Gray’s Anatomy…”

I could also bench press you, I imagine—or break you, if I so chose…. But since I can only be amused that someone who can name 16 of 18 transformers at breakneck speed thinks me worthy of mocking, I will let it go.

I *might* be able to name 16 of 18 smurfs. But I doubt it. How about 18 out of 18 “Grey’s” characters?

I mixed up Air Raid and Skydive, but otherwise I am on target with all of ‘em – what a memory I have, kick ass! :)

Careful, Amber. I’m deceptively brawny.

That’s OK: I fight dirty.

I could prolly only name half. Who the heck remembers Air Raid anyway? Now Jetstream. There’s a robot you can set your watch to.
Since Prime is shaking his fist, I imagine he’s telling those pesky robots to get off his lawn.

Really? I see it more like a scene from “Intervention.”

A douchebag intervention.
Prime’s been a real ass lately.

After josh is done wiping the floor with you, he cleans up the mess with Brawny paper towels.

It all starts with that inability to measure things properly….

From the head of Liz Lemon:
If your man can’t measure right, that’s a deal breaker ladies!
