I know but I just get so mad when someone brings up MWAM. Oh yeah about thost agents and that kid in the snow, don't know maybe it was just actual machines with human skin on. Also notice that the agent looking guys are human in the UN building. When the ambassador machine says his little line he self destructs, why would he destroy a machine, and why would machines like that be in the UN building? I believe that the machines just used the skin of the UN people to cover other machines and use them as COPS of somesort. The kid when he walks up to his house, I never really considered his "parents" shape changing to mean that his parents were transformed into agents, I always just thought that as he got closer the shape of his "parents" became apparent they were actually agents waiting for him. Did this even occur to you all? Maybe the machines like agents killed his parents and were waiting at his house so they could just nab him? It is a contreversal (SP?) subject though, I guess it all depends on how one intermprets that scene.
