Seriously watch this movie if you want to watch what a real SHTF scenario would be like and see how you would do. It is also fun, but, watch and learn.

Attacked by giant evil robots? Fleeing for your life with a incredibly hot skimpy-dressed babe on one arm and good robot bodyguards helping you out; one that turns into a awesome Mercedes supercar that never needs gas or insurance and other that is responsible for the juvenile trucker fantasies of a whole generation of 80's brats?


Yea, I could handle that "SHTF scenario"....

In the event Earth is attacked by alien life forms, whether it be ET or robots, chances are we will have slim chance at surviving.

Or zombies, or vampires...

Better to warn and terrify about enemies from without, than to let people realize that the enemies are within...

Naw. I learned some very important lessons as a boy that I carry with me today:

I can always count on Optimus Prime and/or He-Man to save the day, that I am special, unique, talented, amazing, awesome, cool, ect, ect... and that only Leprochauns and rabbits are the unfortunate disenfranchised underclass who are downtrodden and unable to get ahead...



... and that the USA rules, aways... be it Russian/Mexican invasions of Montana, boxing matches or wars with snake-themed international terrorist organizations.

Relax, all us 80's kids are adults now...we'll take care of everything just in time for dinner!

I like to think that also, but we'll be hit with a challenge with an economic collapse. Our big brother police the world and eventually we'll be the ones being policed. With no oil and no wheels rolling America will become very vulnerable and we'll need more than armed hippie militias to fight a China army moving over the Pacific. We'll need oil and soldiers to work for free and re-open the bases. Oil our rusty war machines and fight. 2018.
