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.

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!
ben
I would be HUMVEE the newest Hummer obviously. Autobots for affiliation. I would be an attatchment to Optimistic Prime which is to protect the matrix of leadership, not to mention be some type of armor. Once again, thanks hidef digest for giving me a chance to win you guys rock please pick me!
Aaron Booth
I would be Bolt Action, an Autobot who functions as the Autobot’s sniper/recon bot. He would turn into an F-14 Tomcat (a plane known for it’s ability to engage up to 4 targets at 100 plus miles) allowing him the speed and mobility to place himself anywhere in the combat environment quickly and dynamically as the situation dictates. He would have the ability to cloak himself for camouflage from visual, energy, and heat sensors while stationary. His advanced sensors would provide him the ability detect Decepticons in almost any environment and provide that intel to the rest of the Autobots.

What do you mean “IF” I was a transformer?
Mike Dunn
I am the Deceptonator! I am a Decepticon thta transforms into a Kegorator full of Bock beer designed espscially for Transformers. I am actually an Autobot working to intoxicate them so we can sneak up on them when they are passed out.
Leonardo Colloca
I would be called Hot Stuff and I’d transform into a hair dryer. I am a member of the Hotobots along with my teammates Nozzle (a can of hair spray), Brace-Face (an electric toothbrush), Sunscreen (a tanning bed) and Stubble (an electric razor)… when combined we form the giant transformer known as Vanitron
Fatmanosu
I would be BayBot and transform into a big pile of crap that does nothing, but look pretty, but you cannot really tell because of the camera angels. I am built of recycled pieces of footage from all of Bays movie to make a “new” movie.
Xavier Perez
I would be Decepti-Klutz, and I would transform into an awkward looking piece of equipment that no one ever really knows what it does. Unfortunately, I would probably be the Jar Jar Binks of Transformers.
daniel
My name would be Shyamalanicon. I’d transform into a film camera and every time M. Night Shyamalan would load film into me and shoot I’d destroy the footage. Of course I’m an Autobot because that would be doing the world a great favor.
Tim
Decepticon: Sub-Prime
My name has a hyphen in it; let’s make that clear. It’s not Subprime.
I transform into a submarine, so that’s why I’m called Sub-Prime. Makes perfect sense.
I got a great credit score, yeesss I do. I only have 8 credit cards with very low balances on them. I just don’t pay them off because I like their rewards programs and 18% interest rates are pretty reasonable.
That wasn’t me you saw at Best Buy trying to return those Bowers & Wilkins speakers right before the 30 day return deadline. What can I say, they just broke down. I mean, that’s what I heard that guy returning them say.
I don’t have way too many blu-rays sitting on my bookshelf, many still yet unopened. I don’t have a problem.
My neighbors really like to kid around putting up that short sale sign on my house. They’re so funny.
Megatron gets so mad when we all go out to eat and I forget my wallet. Hey, Michael Bay didn’t design any pockets on me, yeah, I cover you back next time. You know I’m good for it.
Only 2,3, or 6 times did I ask my boss to pay me early on Tuesday so I can be first to get the new releases.
Ring, ring… hey don’t answer that call. I always like the machine to get it. You know, telemarketers, I hate them. I gotta go.
Anthony Mikels
I would be bullettron, and would transform into a vibrator. I would know what women really want, and could go forever. This would allow me to control your women, and when you control the women, you control the world!
Anthony Mikels
My name would be iCon, and I would transform into the latest greatest thing to dominate and decimate the opposition!
Anthony Mikels
My name would be Xbot, I would transform into a videogame console that Decepticons love to play, then all of the sudden on day I would quit working. I would call it the Red Ring Of Death or RROD for short. They would get so mad that I was made so cheap, they would explode!
Anthony Mikels
I would be called FourLokoBot. I would transform into an energy drink that has alcohol in it. Decepticons would love it, and they would not know that they are really f***** up because of the energy drink, so they would shoot at each other!
Gareth Callenby
Robot Centipede: Several robots feeding off the tailpipe exhaust of the robot in front of them. When it transforms it is a convoy. Although horrifying, it is conceptually less repellent than the Twins from Revenge of the Fallen.
Joe Hermann
I would be a vintage 1970 Olds 442 and my Autobot name would naturally be “Cutlass”. I would have an energon sword or cutlass which I would use to decapitate Decepticons.
Josh Zyber
