Something must have been lost in translation, because apparently a 14-year-old Chinese kid got it into his head that the Transformers are powered by gasoline. I guess he missed the part where the entire movie is based around blowing up the sun to get energy. Maybe we dodged a bullet here. Imagine if he’d tried to blow up the sun instead. This is China. Did you see the Olympics? They can do it.
Shanghai Daily reports that the boy bottoms upped at the pump to obtain “energy” the way the Transformers do. Again, Transformers don’t run on petrol kid. It seems he based his knowledge of Autobots primarily on the animated series, but even then… Transformers ran on cubes of energon, not gas. Come on, pay attention dude. If at age fourteen he’s not smart enough to know guzzling gas might not be good for him, it’s probably far too much to ask for him understand the plot intricacies of 1980s animated television.
The really bizarre thing here is that the boy has been doing this for five years. His parents have done everything they can to stop him, but the boy persists in getting his gas fix wherever he can, probably making transforming noises while he siphons off the neighbors’ tank. Shockingly, it hasn’t killed him yet, though the lead contained in the fuel has caused a severe drop in his IQ. That should make him the perfect audience for Revenge of the Fallen. Drink up at the pump folks, that’s the only way you’ll enjoy it.
