Aieeeeee! I don;t want to jinx it, but guess what major project is almost done? Hint: Hot Rod's giving us a pantomime clue. And it starts with an H! (Or simply click here [link] I guess) warning: it's not Transformers- related, so I'm just pimping it with fanart.

Actually, if I were to cast the guys into Hamlet, these are the roles I've worked out for them:

HAMLET= HOT ROD (the angsty hero who tries to succeed his totally awesome dead father/leader)

HAMLET SR. (or THE GHOST) = OPTIMUS PRIME (the dead king, a beloved military leader)

CLAUDIUS= MEGATRON ( the evil, throne-stealing uncle who marries Hamlet's mom)

GERTRUDE= ELITA-1 (the dead king's widow, and Hamlet's mother)

HORATIO= KUP (Hamlet's loyal companion, a scholar not a fighter)

POLONIUS= SHOCKWAVE (Claudius's chamberlain, an old man loyal to Claudius)

LAERTES= SOUNDWAVE (Polonius's son, a man of action but few thoughts)

OPHELIA= ARCEE (Polonius's daughter and Hamlet's much-abused love interest)

FORTINBRAS= GRIMLOCK (the agressive and militant prince of Norway, who becomes king of Denmark after Hamlet's death)

ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN= THUNDERCRACKER + SKYWARP (interchangeable and treacherous schoolbuddies of Hamlet)

OSRIC= STARSCREAM (Claudius's foppish henchman. -Sorry it's minor, Screamer. I'll give you Richard III later!!!)

VOLTIMAND + CORNELIUS= BLITZWING + ASTROTRAIN (Claudius's ambassadors to Norway)

MARCELLUS + BERNARDO= JAZZ + PROWL (castle guards who first spot The Ghost)

FRANCISCO= IRONHIDE (another castle guard)

REYNALDO= REFLECTOR (Claudius's spy)

YORICK= BUMBLEBEE (the dead king's jester, also dead, who helped raise Hamlet)

THE PLAYERS= AERIALBOTS: (the actors who pantomime Hamlet's story, 'The Murder of Gonzago' which parallels the alleged murder of Hamlet Sr.)
THE PLAYER-KING (ie. HAMLET SR) = SILVERBOLT
THE PLAYER-QUEEN (ie GERTRUDE)= SKYDIVE
THE USURPER (ie, CLAUDIUS) = SLINGSHOT
