At one point, comics writer/artist Phil Jimenez created these mock-up designs to pitch a Transformers/JLA crossover series to DC Comics, but alas, it never came to fruition.

All we have is some amazing artwork, and dreams of what could've been. And Wonder Woman's invisible jet? Yeah. Transformer.

See what they did there?

Way back in 1993, before the movie version of Tony Stark ever improvised his first Iron Man suit, a frenchman named Emile Leray escaped being stranded in the desert in northwest Africa by converting his broken-down car into a working motorcycle.

Unlike Stark, Leray managed to hack together his escape plan without essential tools like welding torches and arc reactors. All he had was a hacksaw. Apparently, Leray drilled the necessary holes by bending, sawing, and then unbending various metal parts.

It all sounds a bit farfetched -- after all, repairing a car has to be easier than building an entire motorcycle, right? -- but it's apparently a true story.

If you're able to read French, you can find the original story at Chameau D'acier.

The Screen Junkies strike again with another Honest Movie Trailer, and this time the victim is Michael Bay's Battleship. I mean, Transformers.

Come for the gratuitous, pr0ntastic shots of Megan Fox, and stay for the weird racism and the bad guy who doesn't appear until almost two hours into the movie!

Kenji Ishida and JS Robotics' homemade Transformer switches between RC car mode and robot mode using 22 servo motors and a PlayStation controller.

This is version 8, so we can only imagine what version 9 might be capable of. Watch your back, Michael Bay.

The works of the late John Chamberlain, a sculptor who specialized in destroying cars, galvanized steel, aluminum foil and other metals, are currently on display at New York's Guggenheim Museum.

Thanks to some clever hackers, though, you can download a replacement version of the audio tour that, er, transforms the Chamberlain exhibit into a chronicle of the Decepticon defeat of the Autobots in the robot wars of 2028.

It's even narrated by a fake art expert, "Patricia Redgrave," a leading scholar in the field of Transformers-related art.

You can download "Artobots" for yourself at Art Tour Hack.

Here's what he rolled out to show off the new Autobots toys.
