Unless someone forced you to watch the movie, you consented. A lousy you-know-what =/= rape (though I enjoyed it. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but I liked it... we're still talking about movies yeah )

Yeah anyway - we're looking for both references and inferences. Outferences too.

We're looking for references (or inferences) to Transformers.

True. I went for God Ginrai as the earliest example of a Transformer merging with another to achieve a powered-up super robot mode - but you're right, Armada Prime/Jetfire was the first example of those two characters/namesakes merging to a super robot mode.

True - although I don't think RotF Jetfire's stasis was accidental. Also similar is that Jetfire in the G1 comics, G1 cartoon _and_ RotF were all initially Decepticons who later became Autobots.
