TF references on "Talkin' 'bout My Generation"

[Paulbot]

I've caught up on the few episodes of this new Channel 10 quiz show and it seems that nearly every week there's Transformer questions.

• The first show I saw had one team asked for the name of the Transformers home planet. No one knew!
  
• On another a question was "Who led the Autobots in the the 2007 movie Transformers". Comedian Charlie Pickering from the "Gen X" team answered along the lines of it was "the greatest hero ever Optimus Prime"
  
• In another episode the Autobot symbol was shown on a Tshirt as part of their identify the reference game, and correctly recognised.
  
• And in the previews for this week it appears that one of the guests (I think it's Cram from Spiderbait) is wearing a t shirt with the Maximal logo!

I thought it was cool that Transformers is recognised as a suitable cross-generational topic to be a recurring theme for questions on the show.

i saw the one about who lead the autobots...i hope its a reoccuring theme to the show.

I was thinking about making a thread about Transformers "media" sightings. Hope noone minds if I use this one...

About a week ago I saw Nitro from The Shak wearing an Optimus Prime T-shirt (from Jayjays). Earlier this week my wife was watching "So You Think You Can Dance?" and someone was wearing a movie Optimus Prime T-shirt.

Very funny show, I highly recommend you watch it if you're not one of the millions of viewers that tune in every week. I remember that first ep where they asked the Transformers home planet and no one knew, I was SCREAMING at the tv. Even the Gen-X'ers didn't know?!?

I thought the Movie question aimed at Gen Y was misdirected, as TFs are well and truly founded in Gen X.

it's probably got more to do with release dates then anything else.
On a side note though, is it just me or are the questions just way too easy..I know it's a comedy above all else but still...some of them are just..bah

Kram's shirt threw me for a bit, a red maximal symbol is not what Iw as expecting, but I think that is what it was.

If it weren't for Micallef this show would be dismal (I like Keller, but she gets so little time), but get rid of the "Y" creature and it could be a whole lot better.

That Gen Y guy is a complete idiot, though.

Just saw the ad for this week's episode. Tony Martin tries to balance his weight on a G1 Optimus Prime trailer.
