Even knowing what the content of that link was, I still half expected a .MPG of a jiggling isolation transformer ;D  i think It's time I took a break from arcade machines for a bit....

Everyone knows that white men can't dance, I bet it's the same with transformers.

Ever noticed that the autobots all look red and yellow and stuff but the decepticons are like blue and black?

Yeah - so the decepticons CAN dance! Suck it whitey

Has anyone figured how to save this locally?  I would love to see this fullscreen.

Edit: found the .flv file, don't know how to play it.

FLV (flash video) is played with the Sorenson Spark codec.  I asked the resident Flash expert about converting FLV to AVI or other video format, and he said it could only be done with a severe loss of quality due to the way flash compresses things.  He's looking deeper into it though, and I'll keep everyone updated if he finds anything.

After I posted I found the viewer.  Not much bigger, and you can't do fullscreen.

Still, it's damn cool.  I keep playing it.

"...as you command..."

Damn cool.  But I wish that there more more of them, and it was arranged in more of a dance-off/you-got-served stype between the decepticons and autobots.  Now THAT would be cool!

Found download links:

The .flv file:
http://www.wilenkin.com/transformers/TRANSFORMERS_master_320x240.flv

Player for .flv file:  
(note- you have to right click this and -save target as- otherwise it'll just open in your browser.  Once you've got it, put it and the .flv file in the same folder/directory and it should work.. if not, get the latest shockwave player.)
http://www.wilenkin.com/transformers/Video_player_06.swf

as a .avi file:
http://sa.nextwish.org/Video/transformers-breakdance.avi

Still can't find a .mp3, tho I guess I can strip it out of the .avi file...

Breakdancing Transformers

So you want this file.
If you are using a Netscape browser just do this.
Fist let the whole stream come into your computer then pause the file that is playing.
Go into your c:\windows\application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\"your default file"\Cache folder.

Look for the cache file with the file size 22,393,370.

Copy that file to another folder.

Rename that file "whaterveryouwant.flv"

Go to http://www.snapfiles.com/get/flvplayer.html
To get a standalone .flv player.

Install the .flv player.

Double click the BreakdancingTransformer.flv file and sit back and enjoy!.

The Jan1tor :D :D

Those Bots can dance!  That'd make an awesome screensaver (if it did real 3D and wasn't a movie)!
