With a week away from its international release, the makers of "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen" have come out with a nifty computer program.
The program, titled “We Are Autobots,” is a standard webcam add-on that allows you to become the most famous Transformer of all, Optimus Prime. The program allows for one user at a time but upon appearing in the webcam, a face track technology will put a 3D-CGI Optimus Prime mask over your head.
So with a space of about 5 x 3 (inches), you can do whatever it takes to save the world from the Decepticons (bad guys for non-Transformer people)!
