Army wants to unleash Optimus Prime on the battlefield

The Pentagon is starting a program to develop a flying car, called "The Transformer". It sounds like the next generation, or next-next generation perhaps, of transport vehicles.
Leading candidates to win the contract are start-up companies Spacely's Sprockets and Cogswell's Cogs.

It's more than meets the eye.

 

Flying cars? We already have them. They're called helicopters.

 

I assumed that this guy was getting called up again.
