Real Transformer.

It may not be a battle mech, but it's step 1.

Johnny 5 is ALIVE!

That's what it reminds me of. I don't know why.

Short Circuit, for the uninformed.

How is this a first step to a Battlemech? Most Battlemechs dont scream "gogo super transformer powers!" or the like

I like how it runs off the table at the end.

It's lacking a certain progression of sounds... nifty though.

No

, Eric Idle's garbled gobbledygook.

And if that was too obscure, I was in fact referring to this:

How do you write out the transforming sound?

When this question came up many years ago, our then-resident technobabble god, Kendrick, had his own special take on it:

"The Transform sound begins as an 8 hz pulse repeated five times for 0.7 seconds each repeat whose pitch can be represented by the absolute value of a declining sine wave, with each zero-to-zero arc of the wave representing one of five cycles of the repetition. The actual value of the sine wave can be modified by factor N which is multiplied into the X value but divided into the Y value, which means that although the actual pitch is largely indefinite, in analog terms when the transform pitch is higher the length of each pulse is shorter, and conversely when the pitch is lower the length of each pulse is longer." Other fans have noted that the sound generally increases in pitch when changing to robot mode and gets lower when changing to their alt-mode.

More traditional attempts at that time, and also in a 1998 thread, are as follows:

Rob Jung: "chee-chee-cha-cha-choh"

Kirt Israel: "CHHH-CHH-Chh-chhu-chu"

Iggy Drougge: "chreechroochroochroo"

Nick Morency: "Oh oh ah ah ee!"

Thylacine 2000: "chakka-cha-ka-CHA"

Rob Powers: "OOOMP-URRRT-OOOOHT-AHHHT-EEET!!"

Walky: "CHEE-CHAA-CHOO-CHUH-worship Satan-CHAH-CHEU!!"

EmarZero: "CKOOO-ckoo-ckoo-ckoo-ckoo-CKEEET!"

ArkNorth: "ERR-ERR-ERR-ERRR-ERT!"

I heard about this from a friend but had never seen it. Where was all this cool stuff when I was a child?

It's not a real transformer, cause like, it's car form doesn't look much like a car.
Awesome use of mechanics nevertheless...

it only doesn't look like a car because they took the body kit off of it......

Am I the only one who clicked this thread thinking about electrical transformers?
