I’ll attempt to dill this hole. In regards to Megatron freezing up, what caused him to shut down in the arctic wasn’t the cold itself, but the sudden drop in temperature after the superheated friction in the atmosphere. Its a property easily observed in the field of ceramics. Second, when BB was frozen by S7, he was fully in robot mode, with some of his inner workings exposed. The other autobots in the atmosphere didn’t have a problem with that because they were in their alt-modes upon their descent, so their inner workings weren’t vulnerable.
lmao i was watching the movie today and i was thinking how could they move megatron from the arctic to the hoover dam without him melting in the first place.
i blame Michael Bay, actually i always blame Michael Bay.
First off Lil-Megs is cute nice comics, Second Megatron is not dead how can he be killed by the source of life it’s energy mixing with more energy besides he dosen’t die that easily. And if you read the movie comic Megatron became un-frozen and a group of people died trying to freeze him again, so basically he killed them all but they managed to refreeze him.
I believe its not the COLD that imobilizes the transformers, but the ICE. in space, there is no moisture to be frozen. the comic is still funny though, keep making them.
You do realize that in space, it isn’t really cold, right? I mean, the interstellar medium is cold, but there is very, very little of it. There’s no convection, and no conduction to speak of. One of the biggest problems in space is dissipating heat!
Please tell me you realize this, and that it’s just the characters being foolish.
Kudos for being a Discoworld fan, Mr. Door, but it is hard to tell without Moylan commenting.
In Salmon of Doubt there is a bit where Douglas Adams writes about when he began to lose faith in comedy. It was a comedy show where one of the jokes was about why don’t they make airplanes out of black box material.
He realized it was because of weight reasons that such a plane would never work. Adams looked around at all the people laughing that didn’t realize this. From here he began to realize many jokes only work if you are ignorant or you play off the audience’s ignorance of the subject.
So either Matt is/was ignorant of the fact, or he knew/knows and made this comic as a joke at all of those who don’t know.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………………………………………..Jazz, you’re HOT. Sorry, I had to get that off my chest plate.
For the record: Bumblebee and Megatron were frozen IN ICE. It’s rather difficult for a machine to operate with ice in its mechanisms, you know? Since there’s no moisture in space, ice wouldn’t have formed on the TFs as they flew through space.
Yeah, it’s not actually cold in space. Temperature is a property of matter and space, unlike planets, don’t have matter everywhere. Heat is only ever lost by transfer to other objects (Conduction and Convection) or radiated off (incredibly slow).
Nasa has huge problems with spacesuits overheating, not the other way around. Lrn2science
Megatron’s problem wasn’t the cold. It was he had just flown all the way from Cybertron to Earth under his own power, and landed on ice, after being superheated from entry, and fell through the ice, then ran out of energon. They explain it in the movie comics.

Why is Jazz of all characters defending this movie when they turned him into an annoying idiot who gets killed?

What’s with everyone bashing Micheal Bay all the time…?? BESIDES killing Jazz off… that is probably the only thing that pissed me off.

As for Bumblebee…I got nothing. Iced joints?
