How would Humans accept the Transformers?

[Crossroads Inc.]

One of the things I have not likd at the end of the movie...

Is the face that they seems to hit a "Reset" button on all the exposure of the Giant Robots and make it seemse as if the whole thing has been quietly covered up and the Populace as a whole is none the wiser.

But what if the Transformers said "Screw you guys! We dont want to hide!"

The movie "glosses" over just what happend after the final fight in downtown to people talk about "oh, theres no aliens"

Well, lets paint a picture... Downtown is in ruins, and perhaps hundreds of people are looking at 3 and half Giant robots who go:

"Greetings, We're the Autobots, we just saved your planet and would like to chill out here.

Keep in mind, for all intenseive purposes the "TRANSFORMERS" timeline and world is exactly the same as ours. Bush is president, we're in Iraq, etc.

How do humans respond?

We create RAAT (Rapid Anti robot Attack Team) and hunt them down like dogs.

For all intents and purposes the Transformers movie time line was pretty much the same as ours.

Who knows how the report went down, but the Secretary of Defense and all those military folk working directly with the Autobots means that no, actually, the US military isn't going to hunt them down and destroy them.

Who said the presence of the Autobots and the Decepticons was kept a secret? Yeah, the Defense Secretary said that dropping the remains of the Decepticons in the ocean would eliminate all "evidence" that they ever existed, but there's lots of ways to interpret that. The Autobots said they would hide in secret, but its pretty likely they simply meant that they were going to avoid contact with the humans by staying in vehicle form.

It seems like there is an "official" cover-up, but since the robots blew their cover so totally and completely, the average person knows that something fucked-up went down. How else do you explain a mainstream TV reporter asking Sam Witwicky's parents about aliens? Someone's putting pieces together.

But what if the Transformers said "Screw you guys! We dont want to hide!"

They would be violating the very essence of what it means to be a Transformer.

But I can bet you that all the cool cats would be inviting the Autobots down to the disco to get there groove on.
