"WHO...FIXES THE FUTURE?"
When I was a boy, Saturday mornings were sacred.
Bumblebee…

The yellow-slicked guardian from Cybertron and the genius encased in red-gold armor. One a voice-muffled protector who transformed in a blink; the other, a broken man turned walking miracle of engineering.
I would sit cross-legged on the carpet, eyes wide, heart louder than the surround sound, and wonder:
”Could we really build that?”
”Could machines care like Bumblebee? Could a man fly with his own mind and a handful of wires like Stark?”
That wonder, the electric pulse of childhood imagination…never fully left.
