I'm assuming you are joking but in case you aren't, have you not heard of the dino-bots from the original transformers cartoon?

 

I've not seen very many episodes from the original cartoon. The ones I did see were all strictly automobiles.

Saw a screening tonight. Found it more enjoyable than the previous two, definitely improved with the new cast, but I still prefer the first. There are issues, even some inconsistencies (to my best recollection), but not nearly as egregious as the previous two films. The earlier commercials didn't do the CG justice, specifically the scene where Optimus looks up and gets shot. It's waaaay more polished and looked fantastic throughout. The movie is a solid 2 hours 45 minutes and could definitely have been shorter, but The Hobbit was far worse in that regard. There was a lot happening though, so it's not like it was padded with fluff. Tons and tons and tons of booms and destruction, and loaded with Bay-isms. 7 out of 10.

Dinobots, who are called Knights IIRC, along with Optimus (huh?), don't come into play until two hours into the movie. The end sets up for a fifth film, probably with Unicron as the creator of the Transformers, which seems to go against the All Spark creating them.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
