Yes, Please: Futurama Meets the Transformers with “Transbender”

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

This brings me such great joy. Let’s hope this starts a trend of Futurama/Transformers mashups. Thanks to the artist, Nina M. on deviantART. Too bad about the name of the piece, though. “Transbender.” Sounds like a sex change that went awry. Megatrender? Bendatron? Yeah, there’s no clear win, here. Find custom Transformers toys on Ebay

Thanks, Fashion Trends!: Megatron Transformers Cap

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Hi. I’m the Megatron baseball cap from New Era. I’m a stain upon fashion that will poison your eyes with ludicrousness. Photo Credit: Gizmodo At $49.99, I’m about $45 too much to even count as a gag gift. Via Fashionably Geek, who doesn’t like your hat if it doesn’t blind him in the sun. Find [...]

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Remember that sweet-ass LEGO Megatron Transformer? Well, another prolific Brickshelf user, “Orion Pax,” has created Megatron’s counterpart, this custom-made, fully-transformable LEGO Optimus Prime.  There’s even a trailer for “vehicle mode.” Wow. For someone like me who has the creative LEGO-building prowess of a stillborn spider-monkey, a project like this could only create more marvel if [...]

LEGO Megatron Transformer

Friday, February 13th, 2009

I almost didn’t post an entry tonight.  Because I am weak like a Wayans Brothers movie. But then I saw LEGO artist Yogurt’s transforming LEGO Megatron over on Fanmode. And decided that two was the only acceptable number of custom Megatron toy projects to profile this week. I’m sure you agree. Check out the photo [...]

Shetland-icon?: Custom Megatron My Little Pony

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Way back in September, I profiled the artwork of artist Mari Kasurinen, who brought Star Wars to My Little Ponies.  This past week, her work jumped into the almost-mainstream when her custom My Little Pony collection shot to the front page of Digg. I’m not saying I’m a star-maker or anything, but… you can say [...]
