Transformers Nanotechnology to be used in the film?

[Seekaedigital]

Thinking about it,
is it possible that the use of nanotechnolgy may be used in this film to explain the way a 35ft robot turns into a cassette deck?....



1. i mean it would keep it in line with cartoons look, but how would it transpose onto film?

2. it would explain how they were reformed to look like earth vehicles

3. explain bumblee bee's change from old to new car

I'm confused how nanotech would help with any of these things. Could you explain your theory a little more?

I think I remember hearing that one of the script treatments described the robots as composed of little bots like those bugs used in The Island.

So in essense, Transformers can "morph" into things... not simply "transform." Sorta like the morphin Terminator in T2.

 

[Seekaedigital]

no no......

My theory on NANOTECNOLOGY. is it could allow soundwave to transform into a tiny cassette by recombining his atoms or something.......

 

[ComicKoryn]

oh........God I hope not.

 

[Trooper]

hell no!! that redifines the whole meaning of transforming. think about it your not going to have toys that re align their atoms and plus thats like removing the ' ' from superman and you cant do that, it redfines the character. Transformers transform very literally, dont 'morph' but 're-configure' their parts by shifting in order to do so.

"I've read your work on Nanotechnolgy".....
"And you understood it"..
..."Your parents must be proud.."
"I live with my aunt & uncle...and they are proud"....

There it is..

I seriously hope Nanotechnology isn't a big part of what makes the TF's transform. I could see it working on some certain levels of the TF Tech, but not as a whole as to how and why they transform.

The movie should be renamed "Morphers" if this rumor is indeed true (which I highly doubt... but who knows).

I don't think it was ever an actual rumor...
Just a random thought by some people.

 

[Seekaedigital]

hey i hope thats not true either........i would hate it....i was just saying the way the mess with flicks now days who knows

 

[muscaremy]

ey walking dead wherd u get ur icon.... i seriously need to get one..haha

ey walking dead wherd u get ur icon.... i seriously need to get one..haha

I have a whole bunch of TF Icons...like a lot, lol.
PM me and I'll email you some.

nanotechnology is a lowly human technology, the transformers are supposed to be light years beyond us-they can travel across the galaxy for gods sake.

 

[MoviesKickAss]

they can travel across the galaxy for gods sake.

Not with Michael Bay Directing this Movie

Unfortunately a lot of folks try to use nanotech as an explanation for the size changing of the Transformers (what hard core Transformers fans refer to as "mass shifting"). The common cartoon/comic book theory is that each Transformer contains a tiny "warp tube" that allows for additional mass to be syphoned in from another location (presumably Cybertron). The problem with this theory is the sheer amount of energy required to open a rift and send and receive that kind of mass would be mind boggling, considering the low amount of Energon they seem to have on hand, this would be a gross waste of resources, but that is another thread.

The nanotech issue arises from the fact that it would also take a huge amount of energy for a ninite to break the atomic bonds of whatever material it was rearranging. Even worse is the amount of energy that would be given off (we're talking nuclear fission here.) Each Transformer would change into something alright, a huge cloud of high energy particles i.e. a radioactive cloud after an incredible explosion.

Mass shifting requires a lot of suspension of disbelief, and i don't think it would work well in a live action movie (the real world).

The reformat of the shapes of the Transformers could be explained by a memory metal sort of outer shell, it could, in effect, be programed to take the shape of whatever they wanted, when when proper energy was applied to the metal it would change. There would still be large moving parts that make up the permanent shape (Remember that on cybertron the bots looked the same as they do on earth in robot mode, in the cartoon at least)

I dunno about the "warp tube"... I don't read TF the comics anymore... but I do know that it wasn't "every" Transformer that had it (classically). Also, the matter wasn't displaced to Cybertron is was displaced into a dimensional pocket.

And who is to say this dimensional pocket isn't a naturally occuring phenomenum that they've harnessed? People used to think the ability to fly was way beyond any power we could harness. It wasn't until someone harnessed a fairly simple 'natural phenomenum' (aerodynamic lift).

Besides, as if fully sentient mechanical brains are anywhere near on our radar of achievability. Much as we'd like to lie to ourselves that we're "close" (nueral nets and such) we're nowhere close to creating a self-aware machine.

I would have totally bought size-changing.... done well, Michael Bay had a chance to introduce some very intresting "sci fi" problems and solutions rather than rehashing old ones.

The "warp tube" mass shifting is just based on the present tech that the Transformers have with the warp bridges and what not.

As far as A.I. goes I would beleive that much more than I would beleive that a 30 foot robot could still function when shrunk down to the size of a tape deck, the area taken up by the "brain" of the bot would have to be rediculously small.

Well, theoritically speaking, the most powerful computer would be a microscopic quantum computer. So that's not much of a stretch either. TF's brain's don't have to look like Commander Data's big brain complete with blinking chrsitmas lights.
