I am 100% sure we found slusho too fast. They are definitely not done with it. I think we should just play with what we can, but for now I dont think theres going to be much going on until the next slusho update.

Tina here....


Actually I kinda dig that one. Least it's sticking to the point! I don't personally think it's transformers either way, I did make that association because of the initial whois info, but there are 2 spots in the history of slusho that did suggest to me that it's entirely plausible that something originally landed in the sea from outer space - and the organic robots is the hint here. I mean that is what transformers are - so while it's probably not actually transformers themselves, the concept of their biology isn't trademarked....it can be swiped and utilized as a base to build a new creature for this purpose.


It's been pointed out a number of times (and sadly ignored or sailed over) that the bots are breathing...and we can add to this that they have eyes that blink, and again that they grow when their quantity is increased.

I've done webdesign for nearly a decade and there's just a rule to it that you stay in theme. Or, at best, if you change theme inside the site that the content itself justifies the shift in the theme. We have a slusho site that's all kiddie-fied with the animals....creatures. But suddenly there's the needle across the record effect with robot flavors...and no justification for it on the surface. Why not continue to use the characters we've become familiar with...make the whale grow, in particular - why NOT that one? There could've, if not should've logically been 6 colored whales that grow....or each animal on there that grows.

The kids on the history page are at least with mask and snorkel...so the "reality" factor is present, and the other sea life is consistent....but then we have a donkey. Donkey doesn't go there. In fact, donkey doesn't even work with the history page or its content in any manner. We could infer the boy and girl being representing Noriko and Ganu, or Ganu and "cousin" or just children who are connected to them. We can infer the other sea life as indiginous to the environment.

Donkey - nope. I mean this is Sesame Street material people. One of these things aint like the other...

If we take this as metaphor for the history content, what about maybe some genetic makeup of the donkey (or ass!) that, in those conditions causes some freak thing to happen. Or maybe it's resistant to some such parasite, strain, ingredient....


There's just too much suggestion at mutation going on with slusho throughout the whole theme.

[worngmike]

mutation is a theme yes, like the idea of nano bots but i don't think thats it but may lead on, but the bots themselves mutate or transform once mixed as the wings on the final mixture bot are the slusho cup, they have become part of the cup or part of slusho. just cant work out why they would be breathing, cos i would imagine even organic robot wouldn't actualy breath. odd. but then so far what isn't

As for the flavorbots, I got nothing.

I did find this and woah! Awesome. Transformers for real!

People,

Rob is going to Japan to work on marketing this stuff. Thus, we know it's at least headed up in Japan.

Japanese media ABSOLUTELY ADORES giant robots and cute animals. (Exhibit A- Pokemon; Exhibit B- Big O, Voltron, Power Rangers, Evangelion, etc.)

I think we're looking a little too deeply into the website, and I think that with roughly 5 months left before release, JJ's going to feed us in small doses until then.

Jumping at shadows is exactly that, jumping at something that's completely immaterial.

Here's my theory on why the whois info on 1-18-08.com and sectorseven.org are the same:

I think that Paramount hired the same marketing agency to do online viral marketing campaigns for both movies (Transformers and 1-08-08/Cloverfield/whatever we're calling this movie today). I think maybe it's their "signature" or something.
