In case you’re wondering what you’re looking at, that’s an actual character in Michael Bay’s Transformers sequel, a robot who walks with a cane.  Because he’s old, you see.  Topless Robot found some pictures of the toys from Transformers 2, and this one is Jetfire, who, as Micheal Bay told a French magazine, is…

“an old Transformer who loses screws and bolts at every move” and is voiced by John Turturro.

Wow. I think it’s pretty clear what’s going on here: Michael Bay is making an 80s sitcom.  The Smiths were just your average suburban family.  Until one day, they adopted a wise old robot, and their lives changed forever!  He became part of the family – and their biggest secret!  What if the government found out?  What would the neighbors think?  Remember the time he snuck out to give Junior advice on his first date?  But through all the love and the laughter, he taught them that sometimes, it takes a giant transforming machine to show you what it means to be human.
