If you had to create 1 or 2 new Transformer (live action) robot film
characters,
what would you call each one and what witty or cool abilities,
physical, or artificial intelligence superpower/s, or sentient
reasoning skills, would you give your Transformer robot, that other
Transformer robots don't have (or even if they do have any ability or
superpower mentioned, yours would have abilities or powers that are
even vastly better. For example, it wouldn't necessarily just be
able to transform into a car.

.... and no mouth.

Is this not a bit off-topic? Do you honestly expect a serious answer here?

My son is 30, and he has never heard of a closed iron-laminate former with
coils of wire on it. He STILL thinks a transformer is a toy, a computer is a
ganes machine, and the correct name for "sunglasses" is "shadez".

Professor Searle says that computers son't have mental contents,
people do, and I agree with him. No robot could ever have mental
powers.

Gary,

To be honest sweetheart I want to see Jazz back in the next movie
alive and happy. I wanna see more charector development. I wanna see
Prowler, Wheeljack and thouse adorable dinobots. May I suggest Richard
Kind to voice Wheeljack? To me he is Wheeljack. I want to see more of
the movie about the bots less of the fleshies. Possably then we are
done with the movies we spin off the movie into a live action series
geared to the more grown up crowd. I am sure you won't be disapointed
if you don't mess with the forumula that made them work in the first
place.

Thanks

I want one that transforms into a --transformer. It's powers would be
sitting, being green, and
humming to itself.

Seriously, if I could find a Transformer that transformed into a
transformer, I'd pay $15 for it!

Which would be more "toyetic" - a pad-mount or a big substation-style
power transformer?

But as blindsight (in humans) and recent autonomous vehicles
demonstrate, the generation of phenomenal-content isn't necessary for
analysis of environmental information and behavioral responses to it
(which approach judgement-making status when a computer system's
reactional programming is complex enough).

Searle is correct that we don't know what kind of specific operations
cause qualitative sensations even in neural structures (much less any
possibility of them in electronic circuits). But advanced zombie
robots could still detect objects and perform what appeared to be
intellectual tasks regarding them, without having subjective
experiences of "a world" and "what it's like to be a robot".

Which is not to exclude organic non-zombies having advantages over
artificial zombies; phenomenal-content has a reciprocal effect upon
brain processes because otherwise philosophers and scientists wouldn't
be discussing phenomena, qualia, etc to begin with. Epiphenomenalism
or asymmetrical property-dualism is muddled nonsense. Eliminativism
would actually be a better alternative.

against the Soviet Union
and other 'communists', but other elements of the worldwide system, such
as the interception of Intelsat communications, microwave networks and
many regional satellites, were not aimed primarily at the Russians, the
Iraqis or the North Koreans.

Then, and now, they are targeting groups which do not pose any physical
threat to the UKUSA allies at all.

But they are ideal to use against political opponents, economic competitors,
countries where the allies may want to gain some advantage (especially
access to cheap resources) and administrations (like Nicaragua's Sandinista
government) which do not fit an American-dominated world order.

The third observation is that telecommunications organizations - including
the telephone companies - are not blameless in all of this.

These companies, to which people pay their monthly bills believing that
the phone calls they make and the faxes they send are secure, should well
be aware of the wholesale interception of 'private' communications that
has been occurring for decades.

Yet they neither invest in encryption technology nor insist that organizations
such as the Washington-based Intelsat Corporation provide encryption.

They do not let their customers know that their international communications
are open to continuous interception. Wittingly or unwittingly, this lack of
action assists large-scale spying against the individuals, businesses and

Nanoman the New Flesh
It appears to grow like a plant in time lapse photography. Somtimes
getting as large as a dinosaur.

It becomes aware just like that and looks around and sees you. It
growls like a ferosious beast.

It is not fully a part of the old system -nature-... It has a few new
rules nature didnt get a chance to blunder upon

It is part of the new way and the new flesh.... It stares at nature
with a very strange look in its eyes.

It has a few powers that might seem strange at first... ....powers not
seen before in the history of the earth.

Click on the radio buttons from left to right as if reading line words
on a page. Text will appear in the box. Click on the plant to enter
the realm of.....

N A N O L O G Y

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

ARTIFICIAL CELL STRUCTURE

NANOMAN AND LIFE IN THE NEW FLESH. Nano man consists of units like
cells which divide and grow into organism like structures. These cell
like units will be artificial but act in many ways like organic cells.
They will grow and divide much faster than biological cells. These
nano cells will be able to cling together in ways that biological
cells cannot.

MAGNETIZING THE EMBRYO

DSRA Domain Specific Regional Accumulaters. There is an old experiment
that about anyone can perform, sprinkle carbon fibers out on a peice
of paper. Hold a magnet beneath this paper and all of the shavings
will assume different positions, they will form a pattern that
coresponds to the feild emenating from the magnet. DSRA uses a fast
method of alignment by feilds in combination will unit division and
regional population increases to achieve what cells do in the embryo.

CELL TYPES AND GENE SITES

Biological organisms are made up of trillions of cells. Each of these
cells, in an individual, has identical DNA but at the same time,
within this same individual, there are many different types of cells.
One cell has all of the information needed to construct all of the
types of cells in the body. Different portions of the DNA -genes- are
turned off or on when repressor molecules are either placed on
specific regions or removed from those regions. Like a book of songs,
each cell turns to its page, its song, its type.

EMBRYOLOGY TIME LAPSED

We need to develope units like these cells, with the blueprint for all
types contained in each. They should grow, divide, cleave, and cling.
The process should not take nine months, it would be a better goal to
accomplish the construction of an organism like structure within an
hour. Within cells certain genes control how fast they divide. This
rate, during the embryological phase, is suited to the dynamics of all
of the other millions and then trillions of cells trying to do
likewise.

BUILDING BLOCKS AND BUILDERS

Think of the construction of an entire mall complex, from the first
shovel full of dirt to the grand opening when there will be a large
number of fully functional stores ready to service customers. Many
different typew of crews assemble a part and each part is used by
another crew as a base for their additions. Sort of like an assembly
line. The coordination of all these crews is a complex task.

A MALL THAT BUILDS ITSELF

Now think of the developement of the human body in a similar way. Each
of the organs and other unique regions of the body are like all of the
stores in the fully constructed and opened mall. The main difference
is that the dividing cells, all originating from one cell, the zygote,
constructs not only the stores and mall structure, but also the
construction crews themselves. The tools, the workers, the site, all
made from the activities of one cell. A SEED.

TINKER TOYS AND THE TINKER -mind pool-

Nanoman is an organism like structure that can become any, size,
shape, and imitate the functions of any device we know of or can
imagine. Nanoman will use atoms and molecules as a child uses tinker
toys to construct structures that look like and act like what they
simulate.

IF THERE IS MATTER THERE IS ENERGY

This creature will be able to stack and arrange atoms in any way
possible. It will even get all - all of its energy from these atoms.
Be they chemical reactions or nuclear reactions, wherever there is a
bit of matter, there will be a bit more of pontential energy and life.
In whatever form matter is in, alive with heat in stars or cold and
inert in space rocks and junk, energy will be wherever it can rest it
balancing mechanisms -feet-.

VACUMING AND SORTING ENERGY

Technics for gathering these atoms wherever they may lay. DUSTERS,
similar to powerful vacume cleaners will extend or grow out of its
body when needed and matter they suck up will have at least some of
the 100 or so useful elements for creating life. BINS, are like change
counters, devices that allow a person to throw in a handful of
pennies, nickles, dime, or quarters, and then seperates them into
slots. Nanoman will deal with the atoms around it like this, it will
consider anything it comes across as a sort of loose change.

KEEPING THE TANK FULL

Nanoman will grow or expand BINS inside of itself when material for
larger projects is required. When it detects that a certain atom is in
short supply it will be time to clean the floor. If there is a short
supply of a needed atom it can use other atoms to create a similar
structure but there will be times when even this will not do. Nanoman
must learn to become an ALCHEMIST and turn the available atoms into
the needed atoms.

WHEN ATOMS COMBINE TOGETHER

NUCLEAR REACTIONS and reactors. It will be a germ itself and use many
of the technics of microorganisms to accomplish its goals. When one
needed type of atom is not present and other, uneeded types are then -
it will do as the sun does-, build them. It will form a germ that will
grow into a fussion reactor. This will be either outside when it needs
to be larger than an elephant and inside when smaller jobs are
executed.

ANY MATTER WILL DUE

In theory all that Nanoman will need is hydrogen to make all of the
known elements. It will be able to turn any matter into any matter.
The only place where it will be hindered is deep space where there is
no matter to speak of. It has been found that on average there is a
few atoms every cubic yard or yards in even deepest space. Nanaoman
may only be slowed down and there will be no way to stop it from
getting the energy it needs to survive and make anything.

MEG - NAN - ORGANISM....Megnanoranism

While there will be an upper and lower limitation on nanomans size and
an extreme to which materials can be stressed, there will be much room
inbetween these extremes in which we can construct our future. Our
cultural artifacts illustrate this small range of inovative capacity
that we are confined within. We have discovered to what extremes our
creations can be put.

UPPER AND LOWER LIMITIONS

Inscects have discovered how small biological bodies can be while
performing the nesessary actions for living. Dinosaurs have discovered
the upper limits to how much stress bones and flesh can be subjected
to. These extremes are probably similar wherever matter is and gravity
differences may influence flesh-matter dynamics. Nanoman will tweak
these variables a bit and try some combinations nature has not been
able to here on Earth.

COMBINING LIMITED THINGS TOGETHER

Nanoman will find, like nature did, that at about the size of the
largest Dinasaurs, materials that make up the body begin to loose
their functionality. Nanoman will cast out some seed, become a number
Dinasaur size entities and then combine together and perform in ways
that the matter in one of these creatures could not. We have already
done this with our tecelating structures but they are not quite as
flexible as biological bodies.

WHAT ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERS KNOW

When archtechs and construction crews build structures as large as
skyscrapers they do so from components which, when combined together,
give more strenth than when alone. A single I Beam would wilt under
the wieght of an entire skyscraper but when combined with other beams
hold it up easily. These structures can even resist earthquakes and
other natural threats.

LIVING CITIES IN FLIGHT

Imagine that this Nanoman divided itself into about 3000 full sized
Dinasuars. If all of these combined together in similar ways as the I
Beams in the buildings this creature could make itself into something
very big. Suppose that it turned itself into a full sized replica of
New York City. Suppose this happened in deep space and all of the
materials came from comets, meteorites, and other debrees. Now you
have imagined what you will be like then, if you so desire.

LIVING PLANETS IN FLIGHT

As these cities continue through space they will continue to
accumulate atoms and become bigger and bigger. Once the size of a moon
or small planet this living creature will begin to gain weight -its
own gravity-. New stresses and strains will come into play when we get
bigger than the Earth. It will discover the upper limit on the size of
a planet, it can become, and settle into this size. There will be
problems when trying to combine together with other planets, think of
the alignment of our planets.

THE SEED - DEATH STAR

It begins as a microscopic group of molecules invisible to the naked
eye. This germ can then consume the maer around it and grow into
planet sized living objects. Suppose that as this planet grew it
slowely became populated with everyone who has ever lived on Earth.
Once fully grown it sends out seeds that grow into other planets with
all of us on each with all of our lifelong memories intact. What would
do with such power.

WHAT SEEDS AND CELLS DO

One bacterium can turn into an entire culture of bacteria. One virus
can take control over millions of cells and reproduce itself
continuosly. One cell can spread itself over an entire ecosystem.
Ideas can spread and reproduce through our culture as colds and flues
do through our bodies. When we begin populating the entire universe we
will do so with THE ULTIMATE SEED.

THE SEEDS JOURNEY THROUGH SPACE

One seed is sent out from Earth and it contains about as much
information as a single cell in our bodies. As it finds any matter
whatsoever it begins to sprout and grow. But grow into what. The
entire human race on a planet like Earth. After constructing itself
into a suitable place for its future form a single brain like
structure grows and becomes conscious, sort of an Adam. Then a
database of all human soul numbers forms as the ship becomes large
enough.

UNIVERSAL POPULATION EXPLOSION

We will spread out in all directions and populate the entire universe.
By having duplicate human races everywhere we may be in a more secure
situation than we can imagine. Once our soul numbers are stored all
over the place, in living planets and in inert forms, we will be very
safe from destruction. If we get orselves developed to a certain point
it may become impossible to destroy us once and for all.

MAKING MORE TIME FROM TIME

Once in this safe situation we will have much time to think about a
few of e problems a few billion years up along the way. We could speed
up our rates of consciousness as fast as possible, maybe a minute
would be the equivalent to centuries, and make the remaining time,
seem to us, alot longer. If there isnt time we will make more time.

GETTING CLOSE TO THE BORG

This is all starting to sound like the Borg on Star Trek. A species
that travels through space consuming anything that they comes across.
The difference between nanoman and the Borg is first, these creatures
dont seem to have an individual identity whereas we will have our
identities in many places at once. Secondly,these creatures appear to
be trapped in bological bodies and have not perfected the soul
technolgies nor Resurrection Machines. Nanoman beams from soulshifter
to soulshifter.

ALL POSSIBLE EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENTS

The Embrome. We may or may not meet, assimilate, or war with other
alien species, but wemay antipate them, all of them. If we construct a
map that has all possible creature, resulting from replicating
technologies, we may create the alien before it gets here. By then
some species may have learned to escape from the embryological
process, like we will have, and these may be a threat. Should we give
them our resurrection technes if they have not leaned ho to construct
them by then.

BACTERIAL REPRODUCTION METHODS

Bacteria can swap genes with one cell gaining the traits of nearby
cells it interacts with. In a similar way whenever certain structures
are needed specific genes could pass through a circulatory system,
arrive and enter cells located where the structure will be built.
Through psuedo-embryological methods these genes, like viruses, could
cause the host cell to grow into the desired shape.

MOLDS SKELOTONS & DOMAINS

In an area where a specific structure is needed, limb or sense, either
genes could be sent to nearby cells or complete zygote cells could
arrive there and begin dividing. These could quickly divide into
simple molds or skelotons. Malable substances could turn hard or soft
inside these basic quick forming frames depending upon the chemicle or
electrical control signals relayed to their area.
