Abandoned Cars Turn Out to be Hibernating Transformers

Sixteen cars which initially appeared to have been abandoned outside an Isle of Wight scrapyard last Sunday have revealed themselves to be hibernating Transformers.

The discovery was made during an attempt to move the vehicles. A removal team accompanied by police officers investigating the incident had arrived at 12pm on Thursday to tow the cars. Those present were shocked when after tows were attached to one of the cars it proceeded to transform into a self-aware, bipedal robot.

“I was jus’ attaching this tow rope from the back o me pickup to one of em and this gert big noise comes out of it like”, said sheltered handyman Timothy Duffbridge. “It started transforming into this giant robot, like summit from a Kinder egg.”

The Transformers were allegedly on their way to the scrapyard to meet their fellow bipedal robots and hibernate for the winter.

“Yes human, we were proceeding to rendez-vous with our companions here at the scrapyard. We were planning on switching ourselves to standby for the nearing cold-season,” informed the Chief Transformer, Switchvisatron. “We must engage standby together in order to maintain warmth, however this scrapyards inconvenient opening hours and unusually large queues necessitated attempting hibernation outside of the grounds. This Island of yours is baffling. Never before have we experienced such poor levels of road maintenance. Deltatron is on his seventh set of tyres already.”

The Transformers were made to move along and all have incurred 4 points on their driving licenses and issued £500 parking fines.
