“Hate” Doesn’t Cover It: Yoda Transformers Toy

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

This Yoda Transformers “Attack Ship”–unveiled at Toy Fair 2010 and scheduled for release in August–makes me so profoundly unhappy.

If your eyes have done something to really piss you off lately*, you can make them pay the price with more images of ridiculous forthcoming Star Wars Transformers over at Transformer World 2005.
* No, seriously, though. If [...]

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.

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.

Not Much More Than Meets The Eye: Autobot Transformers Watches

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

You know the one: it’s frosted with laziness and tastes of powedered silicon from a factory floor in Shenzhen, China.

Sure, but where were you in the 90s, buddy? I would have paid good money (well, Canadian money, anyway) to have [...]

There’s Bad, Then There’s the Nike Megatron Transformer for $190

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Operating 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.

Hallelujah! Optimus Prime Stained Glass Window

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Don’t ask me if this is real, because I couldn’t make a determination one way or another. Even after an exhaustive forensic analysis which involved three-and-a-half minutes of Googling on “Optimus Prime stained glass” and about seventeen seconds of squinting at the photo really, really hard.

Regardless… Transformers as a religion? Sure, why not. I can [...]
