The Transformers Haiku thread!
For Sky Byte
Post yer Transformers haikus and senryus here!
Okay, so the "rule" is pretty simple.
1. It has to follow the 5-7-5 syllable structure (or as close as you can get within reason)
2. It has to be about Transformers.
GO!

As long as everyone's making an attempt to keep it within 5-7-5 (or therebouts) and relating it to Transformers, then it's all good. (^_^)
