I’m oddly psyched as I initially thought it was like Transformers. But after seeing more clips and a ripped Charlie Hunnam, I’m all in!

Nope. Not even for a DVD rental. Looks incredibly stupid, and I tend to like bad movies.

Are the robots going to combine into one super-huge-gigantic-mega-robot?

I hope not. Because while I love me some giant monster movies, and I love mecha movies. Mecha combining into one larger mecha is my arbitrary line where I can’t suspend disbelief anymore.  
Hey, I admit it’s an arbitrary line.

> Oh my god you are so right that is such a Charlie solution! I’m imagining his engineering plans and instructions how to build them and it’s all random doodles and nonsensical scrawling. And he would be singing the Rock Flag Eagle song while working on it. I’m going to have that in mind while watching the movie and will be giggling to myself.

Here’s what Charlie’s [plans](http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm256/muldoonthief/charlie/charlieplan_zpsc046f39f.jpg) would probably look like. (plot spoiler)

The important question is, does the person in charge of the Jaeger program have business cards that say “[Jaegermeister](http://www.jagermeister.com/en-int/home/)”?
