Fiction

Transformers film

[edit]
I've got a big, big thirst for human blood!

When Sam Witwicky accidentally activated the AllSpark during his flight from the Decepticons in Mission City, the artifact's radiation animated an SUV steering wheel, an Xbox 360, and a Mountain Dew soda machine into robots. This Mountain Dew robot, named Dispensor, has an arm-mounted can-cannon. You might think this is pretty ridiculous, but unopened soda cans are much less delicious and refreshing when used as high-speed projectiles. Transformers
