Move over, “Pants On The Ground,” the internet’s newest hero is born! Meet Drew Beaumier, a 24-year-old bartender from California who came dressed to his American Idol audition as a working Transformer robot! Video here.

Dude was half-man, half-robot and all pitchy, so he’s clearly not rolling his adorable little Power Wheels arms to Hollywood. But lets take a second and just point out eight awesome things that make this clip pretty much the best thing we’re ever seen on Idol.

• Dude was clever enough to use his Idol contestant number as the car’s license plate. He must have Optimused right in his Prime when he came up with that.

• He drove right up to Jennifer Lopez all like, “Get out of my dreams, and into my me.”

• The steering wheel on his chest!

• We love that American Idol is so cynical now that it’s basically a parade of freaks followed by one person who can sing maybe. The producers should seriously just start a separate show for these weirdos—American Meme maybe? Anyway, Randy said it best: “What is this show going on about, man?”

• Steven Tyler all confused about not being the funniest person in the room for five minutes.

• Ever seen a car sadly slink off? Yeah, it’s awesome.

• Idol producers using The Cars for his walk-off music. (You didn’t think we’d notice?)

• Even when he’s a car, Drew’s got more personality than Kristy Lee Cook. Happy 15th minute, dawg!
