Say what you will about his skills (or lack thereof) as a storyteller, Michael Bay’s movies always make for nice home theater eye- and ear-candy. Now you have the chance to win the director’s latest robot slugfest, ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’, on Blu-ray. Don’t miss your chance. Follow after the break for the rules on how to win.
‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon‘ comes to Blu-ray with sterling 1080p video in all the glorious teal and orange shades that Michael Bay can conjure, and a slam-bang Dolby TrueHD 7.1 soundtrack. Watch the following video for details on how the 7.1 track was mixed.
Dolby TrueHD 7.1 Interview with Transformers: Dark of the Moon re-recording mixer, Greg Russell from Michael Coleman on Vimeo.
We have two copies of the disc to give away to lucky readers. How do you win? That’s easy. Just answer the following question:
If you were a Transformer, what would your robot name be and what would you transform into? Extra details such as what allegiance you’d be (Autobot or Decepticon) are also welcome, along with any other story details you can come up with. However, please note that the names and descriptions cannot be based on any already-existing Transformer character or toy. These have to be original ideas.
For example, my name would be Spin Doctor. I would transform into a helicopter (hence the “spin”), and I would be the Decepticons’ Director of Propaganda and Public Relations. Because frankly, if the Decepticons really want to take over the planet, they need someone to help them win the hearts and minds of the native populace, to make the pathetic humans believe that being conquered by evil robots from outer space would actually be a good thing. The lack of such a specialist has been a major failing of their strategy thus far, in my opinion.
The two cleverest, funniest, or just plain most interesting entries, as selected at our own subjective discretion, will each win one copy of ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ on Blu-ray.
Entries are limited to 10 per person. That should give you plenty of opportunity to craft a good submission, but will also help us to avoid any potential appearance of awarding prizes based on volume rather than quality.
This contest is only open to entrants from the domestic United States. We will not ship internationally (whether you’re a U.S. citizen or not). Employees of High-Def Digest or Internet Brands and their families are not eligible. Standard contest rules and conditions apply. People who have won any of our previous contests within the past one year are also not eligible to win, but may get Honorable Mentions.
The deadline for entry is this Friday, October 7th. The winners will be announced next week.
Autobots, transform and roll out!

I would be either an autobot named Sidewinder or a decepticon named Mirage. Sidewinder would transform into a hovercraft and Mirage would transform into a hologram.

Actually, I would rather transform into a Ton Ton with light saber horns and be called Donkey. Light sabers and powerful gasses eeking out my but would make me a bad ass!

Aquarius: I am an Autobot that landed on Earth in ancient Greece. Finding very few complex machines I could transform myself into, I settled on an Archimedean Screw. Given that I had conversed with the great philosophers, scientists, poets and playwrights of antiquity, my contribution of class to the Pyramids of Giza sequence during Revenge of the Fallen was cruelly left on the cutting room floor by Plebeian Michael Bay.

Pussy Bot 5000 a robot who key power is the ability to suck people into it’s little clitty.
J. Morgan
My name is Incorrupticator. My main transformation is a monster truck, where I’ve been known to literally crush any opponent. I’m a purecircuited Decepticon who’s infiltrated the Autobots. I’ve earned trust with the Autobots with my nifty name Incorrupticator. I’m serious. They’re that gullible. Sounds promising, right? Wrong. I’m going to destroy them from the inside out, and ultimately enslave the human race.

I would be called Seatron, and transform into a seat so ladies can sit on my face.

Henry David the Robot: I am an Autobot that has nothing to do with the rest of the Cybertronian race, preferring instead to reflect quietly upon the mysteries of life alone at a scrapyard next to an oily factory drainage pool. As I see it, Optimus, Bumblebee, the twins, Starscream, and Megatron lead lives of clamorous desperation. When Optimus and gang ask for industrial-strength staples to help battle the Decepticons, I refuse because I find their war to be unjust. They throw me in robot prison but release me the next day because the scrapyard manager agrees to give them all the rivets and staples they need. I write an e-book on my Transformdentalist musings adopted by hippie robots for generations to come. I can transform into a steam locomotive but prefer not to because the railroad represents everything about modernity and progress that I disdain.

My Autobot name would be Kamikaze! I’d turn into a 1974 Ford Pinto and my weapon would be to back up into my enemy.
Ryan Chung
Name: Dimwit
Autobot that transforms into a chastity belt
Jen H.
My name would be Tig ‘ol Bitties and I would transform from a food truck into a gigantic pair of bionic breasts. I would shoot lasers from my mammary cannons. My allegiance would be Autoboobs, um…I mean Autobots!
Kenneth Harwell
If I were a Transformer, my robot name would be Hidden Lightning, and I would transform into a top of the line stealth fighter jet.
I would be an Autobot. My main job would be as their go-to guy for backup, since I could assist others without being seen, and my secondary role would be infiltration and surveillance since you can’t get better information about the enemy’s battle plans than what they tell their troops in a mission briefing and I could get that information by utilizing my stealth ability.

Net Flix: originally an Autobot but now a decepticon. Transforms from a much loved revolutionary media company into a customer hating laughing stock and nobody sees it coming……..
VIOZ
My name is Movie-Maker, I’m an Autobot and I transform into any data storage device. When someone stores a Michael Bay’s “Transformers” film series trailer in me I do a little shring-flap-tisss-wawawa-cli-cla-clong and I come out as exactly the same device but with a complete movie in me based on that trailer, so you can see the Transformers films as you expected them to be.
I’m from Chile :'( .

Face Book: deception that waits until you are used to it’s current form then immediately transforms into a much less useable and recognizable form which once you are used to transforms into a much less useable…………….

Blu Ray: transforms beautifully but very slowly, in fact so slowly that it is defeated by Film Stream and is buried on the dark side of eBay with deception HD DVD

I’m LUCATRON.
A once Autobot now turned Decepticon.
In the 70’s, I was a beloved machine fighting for peace and resistance against the Decepticons. Throughtout the years, children played with my actions figures, slept on pillowcases with my face and even carried my image on her lunchboxes to school. However, out of boredom, I decided (FOR NO REASON) to add changes to my armor that made people no longer care for what was originally there. Feeling the hatred, I turned to the “darkside” so-to-speak. Now, I feature blinking robot eyes, uncalled for CGI parts and a button on my crotch that emits a loud “NOOOO!”
The crotch button is useless.
As am I.
I AM LUCATRON.
Steven Lohmann
I would be called Knock Around, I would be a boxing transformer who was originally created by Megatron to fight for the Decepticons but eventually saw the error of my ways and switched over to the Autobots. I would transform into a Hummer. I would have large boxing glove looking hands that normally stay in fists.
Shayne Blakeley
Car T. Ridge: Brain-washing Decepticon. Only villain in known history to be brought down by excessive blowing. Our hats are off.

I would transform into Vibratron and yeah I would be a vibrator. I would have a seismic attack and talk in a stuttering (orgasmic) drawl.
Brian Langenwalter
I’d be called a Proprietarytron and I’d transform into any Apple product.
Kenneth Harwell
If I were a Transformer my name would be Beeratron. I would transform into a keg of beer that constantly refills itself.
I would be a Decepticon, and would hang out near bars, making dumb &/ or ugly people seem smart and beautiful to unsuspecting people so that they could have a night of “fun”. After they wake up however, their perceptions are no longer distorted, and they shriek, wondering what happened to the smart beautiful person that they brought home/ went home with.

Anthony Salzano
My decepticon name would be “Diablo”. As the name might suggests, I would transform into a Lamborghini Countach. I would be a soldier for Megatron always wanting to fearlessly engage autobots in hand-to-hand combat. I would be most known for my particular distaste for Bumblebee and a desire to replace Starscream as Megatron’s closest lieutenant.
Raidel Lopez
My transformer name would be doloran and I would transform into a Delorean and together with my driver Marty and his uncle Doc we would go into the future and the past…….. wait… where did I heard that plot before?
Kevin
I would be called 8-bit and I would transform into the most powerful piece of human technology the Commodore 64. I would so be a decepitcon and would even have a sweet one liner, (This does not compute!!). My only weakness is the inevitable release of Windows.
Raidel Lopez

Black Ice! I would be a decepticon that has the power to freeze any transformer or anything on the planet and crush them after being frozen. That would be the ultimate destruction.
