    I still enjoy MythBusters, but apparently this basically just refers to the definition of "something that changes into another form or shape." So, while it's interesting to see the show being discussed on this site, this thread only exists because the episode title matches the franchise this fandom is based around. Not really necessary then. *shrug*

    Such a negative Nancy. Nobody is forcing you to watch it. If people enjoy it, let them enjoy it.

    Like it or not, Mythbusters has made Discovery relevant, hip, and cool. Without Mythbusters, this station was destined to go to shit. And they do make science pretty fun

    Same here.

    I really enjoy the show, but I'm not sold on the new direction yet. I guess I understand that it needed to be changed.. But, so far this season, I haven't liked the "hip" new feel.

    I think they lost a little scope when they got rid of the "build team". To think the show is missing them.

    What is this "hip" feel that everyone keeps referring to? Because the only thing that seems new and hip to me at all is the opening (which is admittedly more slick looking and better produced).

    Aside from that (and some touches like insta-notes appearing on screen as they talk but that's not such a huge change), it's the same ol' goofy Adam and Jamie dynamic we've always seen (minus the trio which is a huge change since I'm not entirely convinced Adam and Jamie, as much as I love them, are enough to carry the whole show for an entire hour by themselves). They even kept the same ol' announcer voice guy.

    Actually Transformers are Aliens from another Planet, and therefore Scientifically possible......

    There could be life out there, who are we to say they aren't Sentient Robots?
    That being said, Make a Truck Transform into a Robot Mythbusters!

    It is scientifically possible for sentient robots exist.
