So, out of morbid curiosity, what IS the technical handwaving that justifies Transformers (either in the latest movie or the old series)? Nanomachines? Living metal? Absurdium/Unobtainium construction?

I do like the possession angle in SR though, very nice. *golfclap*

Well the old cartoons was the idea of expanding plasma theory or so I have been told.

As to the new movie Bay is said to have used a math formula so that robot size is equal to the mass of the vehicle.

Which is why he went with a long nose peterbuilt for Optimus as the cartoon cab over semi that was used didn't allow for Optimus to stand at the 25 feet Bay wanted.

Their bodies are made out of an extremely durable metal.
