I haven't seen the movie but I'm guessing that it's some sort of particle test.

They're just promoting their new line of transforming Plushieguns.

The bigger question is that why a testing facility like that has a Rainbow Dash plush?

It's from a Transformers movie, so stuff being disguised as other stuff is kind of to be expected.

The context is basically Movie Elon Musk has reverse engineered transformer technology and made it even better, and can turn things into other things at will

Actually, the fact that the movie basically has Elon Musk as a major character is endlessly hilarious to me.

It's not entirely without precedent. Plus, TF, MLP, and GI Joe have a few shared names.

No, we all know there is only one Decepticon that could get along the most with Rartiy, and he's the best thing to come from Transformers Prime. :vogue:

It was nice for Michael Bay to give some work to a young Peter Ustinov as well. He hasn't done much since dying in 2004. :v:

Ahh you beat me to it!

But yes, Knockout is the most fabulous Transformer, hope he makes a return in RID.

We haven't decided on where we're going to meet yet, but it's likely at Nickelodeon Studio, where he's doing his new show.

Of all the animation studios, I go there a lot (I already went there twice on this trip). Even though they have security, it's pretty easy for me to get in there :v:

Ask him why he left after writing in S1. I'm actually curious as to what drew him away from FiM so quickly.

I'd be interested in hearing any stories from S1 but you don't have to be too prying or anything.

While I'm not Chris Savino :-P , I think he had his hands tied even back when he was writing for FiM. In 2010, the same year FiM premiered, Chris Savino began directing most of the Kick Buttowski (2010-2012) episodes. He also directed/wrote an episode for the Mickey Mouse Short in 2013 (speaking of which, Cindy Morrow actually wrote a recent episode for it though strangely she's not credited on IMDB...).

I think it's maybe safe to say that maybe had he known that FiM would be as popular as it became by Season 2 and onwards, he might've written more for it. But I also wonder if he wrote the episodes as a favour for Lauren Faust and/or Renzetti since the three worked together on PPG and Foster's Home For Imaginary but decided to discontinue writing since Renzetti and Faust would leave eventually.

Of course, he might have different reasons (though him being busy with directing other shows probably being the main reason seems valid) but I'm glad to see people move up/continue working in the industry and not fade away for years like some writers, animators, etc.

AFAIK He was just doing a favor for Lauren, so he wasn't in for a longterm commitment anyway.

Also, remember to "thank" him for Johnny Test, Mr. Big :-P

I'm sure he's too busy right now for it, but I still wonder if he'd write another episode of FiM if Meghan McCarthy asked.
