As found here.

This is my favorite:

11. A robot, specifically a big, wide robot, may not pretend to be a refrigerator and then make a scary noise when a human being opens it.

Nothing on the page i linked to is "adult" - in fact, i'd call it juvenile humor at best.

I can't vouch for the rest of the site. it IS a humour site, so i can't vouch for the rest of it.

Sorry.

31. Robots may not shrink/grow in size drastically when transforming.

Example: Megatron transforming from giant robot to human-size handheld gun (and also giant-robot-sized handheld gun). Also: Astrotrain transforming from the size of a normal giant robot, to a train capable of carrying dozens of other giant robots. And don't even get me started on size issues with Unicron...

Well worry a lot then... Michael Bay has stated that size shifting is a possibility for the next Transformers movie.

Then...

32. Michael Bay may not make movies about robots.

33. If rule #32 is breached, under penalty of death will a scene in the movie include a mother asking her teenage boy if he masturbates, at least not in front of his girlfriend.
