They have come to Earth to search for a cube-like artifact known as the AllSpark, which can help revitalize their home planet of Cybertron. He later discovers that his new car is actually Bumblebee, an alien robot sent to protect him long enough for him to summon more allies, including Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. After going to a used car lot, he gets a yellow Camaro. The story follows a teenager named Sam Witwicky, who’s wanting to get his first car to impress his crush, Mikaela. Given the timing of the screening, I also felt like this would be the right time for another reason that I will go into towards the end.įor now, though, let’s roll out for my review of one of Michael Bay’s best movies as we celebrate the 15th Anniversary of Transformers. Upon going to it, I knew this would be the subject of my next review. I had the opportunity to see this at my local Regal for a 15th Anniversary screening last week. It is also one I’ve wanted to do for so long. This one is another Anniversary Review, ironically enough. Burden always finds an imaginative use for these as the Carrot stops alien invasions, Communist incursions, flying dead dogs, the Man in the Moon, and Death.As I hinted at in my previous review, we would be going from Reapers to Robots for the next one. His version of a utility belt comes complete with oddities including Silly Putty, rubber bands, random playing cards, and sneezing powder. This poor wretch crafted his own outfit complete with the giant carrot head piece with the button-down white shirt, red pants and flippers. There are dangers everywhere you turn, such as a toxic waste pit (where the Carrot once died – yes, he got better) so you have to be careful. The whimsical, satiric stories are set in the Palookaville section of Iron City where oddities happen with tremendous regularity. The word stuck with him for over a decade before he could find a proper home for it. His verbal calling card is “Ut!” which Burden explained was something George Harrison shouted during a Beatles performance at Shea Stadium. In 1985, the character’s origin was explained this way: “having read 5,000 comics in a single sitting to win a bet, this poor man suffered brain damage and appeared directly thereafter as-the Flaming Carrot!” Much as Don Quixote/Alonso Quijano read too many romantic adventure stories Burden used this poke at fanboys to create a surrealistic hero that works as a meta commentary at fandom though the years.
