On the way:
The bridge rises, its massive arms lift to allow a tall-masted sailing boat passage.
A greying Oriental man turns to the little girl in his arms - all ponytail, pink hairclips and floral pattern plastic raincoat - and says with a sage nod, by way of explanation, 'Transformers.'
Brilliant.
But then you get to wondering what possible value a robot that turns into a bridge, even one that opens up to let through sailing ships, is going to be to Optimus Prime and his autobotic alliance in their battle against Megatron and those dastardly decepticons.
And then you start scanning the newspapers for jobs in Los Angeles or New York City 'cos you have to be realistic about these things, when the fighting starts, you're going to want to be in a place under the protection of Bumblebee or Wheeljack or any Transformer that can do more than wave its arms around under the influence of oncoming river traffic.
