^ Funny you should mention that. I thought the same thing when I first heard the rumors about Sam scribbling Cyberglyphs all over the walls and stuff. Of course, I was caught up in the whole "WTF is Sari Sumdac?" hysteria at the time, so I was probably just over-analyzing the whole thing. But yeah, that is a very good point you bring up.

 

this

 

The writers really like the topic of fate because it's something that has been in story telling since someone invented story telling. So we get a lot of connections to say that even though Sam doesn't want to be involved in all of this it's his fate to be a part of all of it.

So Sam wouldn't have to be techno-organic for all this to happen it could be nothing more than fate at work. Fate is a great story device so why not use it?

 

So, you're a man, AND a smart shopper? (I hope they play that commercial in the UK so that joke makes sense)

And Sam IS in college now. Maybe techno-organic just means he's a hippie/raver.... he could throw glowsticks and granola bars at the Decepticons, and maybe teach the twins to pop-lock.

 

Buster Witwicky in the Marvel comics run downloaded the Autobot Matrix (similar to how Sam downloads part of the Allspark) and he was purely organic. I think they're just revisiting stuff from the old fiction, and Sam is still 100% human.

 

this is easy to solve.

Sam sees the cybertron symbols because the visions transferred via some kinda of electromagnetic pulse/transference. The human anatomy works via electic signals. Not too farfetched?

As the great morpheus said;
"What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."

 

mechafire there was that weird spark when he touched Megs, also sams grand father carried the DNA of Megs so i'm just stating thatsam's dad, mom, and him could be techno organic not saying they are.

 

How did Archibald carry Megatron's DNA? How does Megatron have DNA? Archibald wrote the Cybertronian language because it was all over Megatron and burned into his retinas in glass-etching blast from Megatron's navigational systems. The spark when Archibald touched Megatron was a brief reactivation of his guidance equipment caused by the heat of human touch. Additionally, we can assume from Archibald's age and the fact that he was driven insane by his contact with Megatron that his children were born prior to the arctic expedition. I can't quite see his wife being willing to sleep with her now-crazy husband.

Additionally, if Sam were somewhat more than human, it kinda defeats the object of having him be the audiences' "link" into the movie. He simply has a destiny to be involved with the Transformers. See what Optimus Prime says in the trailer: "Destiny rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing". Sam's time is now, even though he is an adolescent.

 

Sam is not techno-organic... it's just somehow the All-Spark transmitted info into Sam, that's why he starts seeing symbols.

Likewise, Sam's great-grandfather encountering Megatron was just that Megatron etched coordinates to the All-Spark onto his glasses and he eventually starts seeing and drawing symbols.

 

Not like you to give up, Mechafire. Though I understand completely.

 

My point was that your arguments seem to be having no impact on the original poster. I agree with you personally, as I think my post on page three shows. Perhaps "give up" was the wrong choice of words. Though if your post was intended to be read elsewhere my point is moot and should be considered withdrawn.

 

This is   kind of funny.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

OOOOOOHH please no!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Finally some sense on this thread. If Sam was "techno-organic"

the producers wouldn't be stupid not to put it in as a cliffjumper.

Then we would have hundreds of threads about "Oh Sam's a techno-organic"!

 

If he likes techno, then yes, he's techno organic.
