I dont know whether this deserved its own topic, especially since they refer to a "Beagle 2 Mars Rover" but start showing footage of a very nice mock-up of a working and frantic MER rover (and landing pod with parachute still attached)... but errors aside, its always nice to see [at least the concept of] Mars getting some coverage in the popular media, albeit for the sake of evil robots, but hey its fun to view anyway...

In fact, an exact quote from the screen is "the Beagle 2 Mars rover"... rolleyes.gif...and it looks like it'll be a major early plot point. Unbelievable. Speaking as a robot myself, this completely destroys the film's credibility. The producers may feel free to execute my well-known catchphrase... mad.gif biggrin.gif

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I'll close this topic and direct you all to the original posting on the upcoming live-action Transformers: The Movie...I also posted about this a while back...

P.S. They're more than meets the eye.
