Clearly, NASA are attempting to build a real-life Optimus Prime. However, I think starting with an ass-based weapon is a mistake.

To echo #2.
This reminds me of a quote from the Spanish-American philosopher, Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás.
"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

The voice over states the car runs "solely on Hydrogen Dioxide"
Well, that's Hydrogen Peroxide, which in industrial strength can sometimes be pale blue in colour. Oops, hang on, they were pouring a pale blue liquid in, weren't they??? Or maybe they have a load of sodium perborate in that white metal box, which turns to Hydrogen Peroxide when you add water...
And anyway, last I heard Hydrogen Peroxide fuel cells were a bit dodgy, as they chemically "burn" up aluminium as fuel to release electrons. We only recently stopped cars chucking out lead in the exhaust, I'd rather not have it replaced with aluminium!
