YouTubeNot Much More Than Meets The Eye: Autobot Transformers Watches
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009I have seen some poor excuses for Transformers toys before, but the digital Transformers Bumblebee Watch and Optimus Watch take the three-layer cake of shiftless design.
You know the one: it’s frosted with laziness and tastes of powedered silicon from a factory floor in Shenzhen, China.
For $9.99, I guess you get what you pay for: a [...]
You Had Me at Stormtrooper: Star Wars Adidas Sneakers
Monday, November 23rd, 2009Yeah, so a pair of Stormtrooper Star Wars adidas Originals sneakers makes all kinds of sense, as you can see in the photos, below.
Via Hypebeast:
For its Spring/Summer season adidas Originals teamed up with Star Wars for a memorable collection of footwear and apparel. [...] this new collection seamlessly fuses inspiration from legendary Star Wars characters [...]
Robots in Disguise-ish: Transformers Ravage USB Flash Drive
Friday, November 13th, 2009It seems the Transformers are keen on keeping up with the times. The Decepticon Ravage–formerly one of Soundwave’s microcassettes–now takes the alternate form of an honest-to-goodness 2GB USB flash drive, a more contemporary storage medium.

This high-quality sleeping bag looks [...]
Bad Idea, Trekkers: Vulcan Foam Hand
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009Trekkers, I don’t know if you got my last memo, but Star Trek’s cool cache ran out around late August. (Just check the archives.)
Which means that waving around a Vulcan foam hand in public will leave a stink of nerd on you that no amount of Febreze will ever deodorize.

There’s Bad, Then There’s the Nike Megatron Transformer for $190
Friday, October 16th, 2009Operating under the thesis that “transforming makes everything better”–recent Michael Bay movies showing all signs to the contrary–the Transformers “Crossovers” line of toys has sullied* everything from Star Wars to Marvel Comics characters.
But this Limited Edition Nike Megatron Transformer puts the icing of insult on the triple-layer cake of shame.
I see four problems here:
