Forget all those overhyped inventions like "language", "the printing press" and "insulin"--humankind's greatest achievement, both technically and spiritually, is a car-crushing, fire-breathing, 40-foot-tall robot named Robosaurus. And next week, Austinites will get a chance to see the great metallic beast do its thing firsthand as the Alamo Drafthouse and AT&T present The Ultimate Transformers Experience.

Basically, Robosaurus will roll menacingly into the parking lot at the Alamo South Lamar (possibly causing some mayhem along the way, we're not completely sure), where they'll be showing Michael Bay's brand new, thrill-packed live-action remake of the Transformers movie on every single screen in the house. Popcorn will be eaten, beer will be guzzled, and fists will be thrust triumphantly skyward as the Transformers once again save our sorry asses from the evil Decepticons. Is there any better way to see this movie?

There are two ways you can get into this event for free. First, the fine folks at AT&T have been kind enough to give us a whole bunch of tickets to give away, so you can enter your name below for a chance to win a pair. OR, if you are one of the hordes of people planning on switching to AT&T and buying a fancy new iPhone when they hit the Austin-area shelves this Friday, you'll already be eligible for two free tickets*! But please, even though it's pretty cool, do not talk on your new iPhone during the movie.

*Fine print! AT&T is a sponsor of The Ultimate Transformers Experience. You have the opportunity to receive up to two free tickets when you "transform" your communications and entertainment services (voice, data, or video), upgrade your existing services or switch from cable to AT&T. To qualify, orders must be placed in person this Friday, June 29th at an Austin area AT&T store (formerly Cingular). You may want to call your nearest store first to be sure it's an AT&T store and not a reseller.
