Transformers: Coders in Disguise?

Fat, beardy and lacking in every area other than computer skills? Have your geekery effectively neutralised through an upcoming Internet make-over show in which participants undergo a process of "sexy refactoring".

*At first glance and from a distance of 5 or more miles.

On the whole it's probably ill advised. Although there is free food. Crisps anyway.
