An Energon cube from Transformers has the power equivalent of 42,000 US gallons of crude oil, or 1,000 barrels.
In the episode "Thief in the Night", the ruler of Carbombya said that it takes 1,000 barrels of oil to produce one cube of energon. And Trypticon consumes 50 such cubes per hour. Now we're counting. 1000 barrels is 158,987.29 liters of oil. According to Octane, Carbombya oil produces the best energon in the galaxy, so let's assume that it is ultralight, that is, its density is around 780 kg/m3, and when the energy cube completely absorbs the energy of oil combustion, it gives 46.2 MJ of energy. We multiply and get that there are 5729266 MJ of energy in one energy cube. Multiply this by 50 and divide it by 3600, getting the power. We get 79,573,138,645 watts of power consumption. Rounding up, we get 80 GW. For comparison, the capacity of all US nuclear power plants is 95.5 GW. If we assume that Trypticon eats half a day, then multiply 5729266 MJ by 50, 12 and 365, and then divide by 3,600,000,000,000,000, as a result we get the power in TWh. The result is 348.530347265 TWh per year. This means that the Triptych consumes more than Mexico, Turkey, the UK, Indonesia, almost like 2 Sweden or 10 Ireland. And if he ate around the clock, and 50 energy cubes per hour is an average per day, it turns out he would consume more than Brazil, Canada, Germany and France.

You obviously didn't watch the video. How many 10 ft toy drones have you seen with wings like a plane that can hover?
That's exactly what I'd be asking my spies to do, if I were Mr.Ping - scan important networks in preparation for cyberwar, in case I fancied invading Taiwan, ahead of the end of lax trade controls for Chinese goods. Google does the same with their street mapping cars, in case they ever get taxed. War with China would be a disaster for the forum, and Ping knows it - in 10 years the West would be largely regressed to the steam age. Reminds me, must learn Russian. Also exactly the sort of shizz I'd pull if I were Musk, to assess the feasibility and usefulness of such network surveillance, in case they fancy deploying drones all over the USA and beyond, to quell mass dissent. Of course the next fleet will carry guns and mincing machines for remote autoexecution by AI. Reminds me, must buy full body bulletproof armour. It's both Musk and Ping using each other as cover, plus Ming The Merciless using Musk and Ping as cover. My next project will have to be Russian translating stealth body armour with a tin hat.

I have only seen large drones like that a few times when I was in cancun/tullum. They were flown by a bunch of Americans.
What is clear though is if you receive any benefits, the bank thats paid into is watching your account, and passing on all details of transactions directly to the DWP
So my advice to all and sundry, is to invest your savings 'offgrid' and put it intro gold or such(watches, cash in a safe etc) that the government has no way of snooping on.
I remember during some financial scandal, where one of the MP's who had been fiddling his expenses(a member of the conservative party, which is no surprise), claimed he didnt understand the legal rulings around financial transactions, despite being previously involved in the banking industry.
But you go a few quid over, and we're not talking thousands, or tens of thousands, but usually a few hundred, and they come down on you like a ton of bricks.

Drones these days are kind of scary, especially when controlled by AI
This is for entertainment, but can you imagine if it was on a war footing, and each was armed with an explosive.
ADDS - I wouldnt believe any sort of speculation the US is coming out with. Remember last time it was apparently 'alien aircraft' only for those later to be discovered as just regular aeroplanes but filmed in heat imaging. When the heat image was changed to regular image, surprise surprise it was a normal aircraft.
This is probably the US wanting to initiate a new law thus diluting peoples freedoms yet further - Its Iran, it's Russia, it's China - no its *******
