I would like to defer to someone who has a question ready.

I have one if no one minds.

This old game boasted "a first person shooter with six degrees of freedom" (Answers must be in the form of a question).
Never, but never question the engineers judgement.

What is Descent?

From the wikipedia entry for six degrees of freedom. I'm on my iPod touch and can't copy paste.

What is the distance between Jupiter and Uranus?
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Optimus died and was reconstructed as Convoy(?) he merged with Rodimus Prime to create Double Convoy.

Close..but in that clip, they don't physically merge. And as a hint, it doesn't include Rodimus.

Interesting find but that is from a comic. This question involves a TV show and is why you can find the merge sequence on YouTube.

 You were incorrect, but I will defer for being out of turn. I just wanted to get involved in this and there was no current question when I posted. Now I'll see if I can find an answer to your current question.
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Anywhere from 1299.3 Million Miles to 2266.1 million miles depending on orbits.

Had to subtract distances from the sun to get min and add distances for the maximum.

There is a way to get the distance right now at this very moment, not averages, or minimums, or maximums......regardless, I deferred, the topic is now Czar's Transformers question....which is turning out to be a bitch of a scavenger hunt to find the answer ;)

I`ll give a few hints.

1) Even though there are 3 blanks in the question, once you find one answer they should all be there or very easy to find now that you know what to Google for.

2) There's a couple steps to finding the answer as I didn't want it to be easy as just Google`ing the names involved..or even the TF series in question. Would be too easy that way.

3) I did give decepticon a hint when he PMed asking for clarification on something so I`ll share it with you all. After the Generation 1 TF series ended in the US, it continued in Japan for over 100 episodes. This comes from some of those episodes.

I'm going to have to give up on this one....wasting too much time reading the (overly) detailed articles on Wikipedia is just confusing me. I've probably come across the answer and just didn't realize it.

My recollection of the Transformers is that they were really cool because they were robots.....that TRANSFORMED! I can't say I ever paid attention to the story. I just liked playing with the toys and destroying things with them (hey, I was a little kid).
