Perhaps the worst letdown we experienced today was finally figuring out that Optimus Prime was not, in fact, recruiting us to fight the Decepticons, and was only interested in using us as his dirty, DVD-buying whore.

Jackon and Alec Baldwin had their ways with us, but we are so very, very weak in the face of precorded, lightly personalized messges delivered by authoritative male voices. [Transformersmovie.com]
