V_Bot: the dancing Transformer that plugs into your MP3 player
Actually, just to be clear for the watching trademark lawyers, V_Bot isn’t a Transformer in the official sense. But RC2’s new toy is heavily inspired by Hasbro’s bot brand, being an “evolving action vehicle” (i.e. a car that turns into a robot).
Forget a rugby player, this Optimus Prime Transformers PC case mod will scare the stalkers off!
…and no doubt ensure you never get a boyfriend/girlfriend again.
As everyone and their Josh Duhamel-fancying girlfriend knows, a Transformer just isn’t a Transformer if it doesn’t, well, transform. Things have to do what they say on the tin now, otherwise People Get Angry.
So full points to the man stuck in his perpetual ’80s flashback who created the fully customised Optimus Prime PC case. Able to transform from a PC tower…
Be warned: bootlegging 20 seconds of the Transformers movie could land you a year in jail
Cripes. Cinema ushers in Britain love any chance to get officious with punters, especially if they suspect illegal recording of a film. But at least getting barked at by a spotty assistant manager won’t land you a year in the clink.
Transformers Optimus Prime birthday cake
At the risk of sounding like a character from the other big blockbuster of the Summer, I’ll say this – mmmm….cake…
And not just any old Victoria Sponge either, it’s an Optimus Prime cake, made up of brownie dirt, fondant grass and a body composed of cake and rice crispy treats. Apparently the size of a toddler…
Animated Transformers t-shirts, not quite as cool as *actually* transforming obviously!
Four more days until the Transformers film launches in the UK! Four more days until we can feast our (sadly) mortal eyes on what is definitely the movie of the year! Well, apart from The Simpsons movie, of course. Gaaahhh I can hardly wait!
Pledge your alliance to either the Autobots or Decepticons with these animated t-shirts ($34.99) from the nerd equivalent of Ralph Lauren, Think Geek. Each t-shirt lights up…
A laptop Decepticons pine over, Haier's G70 Transformers notebook
As everyone should know by now (and if you don’t grrr, you’re letting Team Geek down), Transformers – THE MOVIE! – is coming out very shortly here in the UK, but those lucky yanks have had it since the 2nd. Well, at least we got Hot Fuzz first, right? Right?
Die-hards who can’t wait until the 27th for it to debut in British cinemas can snag this Transformers themed notebook from Haier. Sure, it may look like a simple ol’ decalled laptop, but roaring under the hood of the robot-in-disguise are specs even the Autobots would kill for. The G70 features a 1920 x 1200 17-inch screen, 2GB of RAM, 120GB Hard drive, runs on Intel’s PM965 chipset and has a whole bunch of other features I’m not going to pretend I understand…
Joost gets its own Transformers channel
Everyone’s rediscovering their love of all things Autobot and Decepticon, what with the success of the thankfully-better-than-expected new Transformers film. And the online TV market isn’t immune from the charms of Optimus Prime either.
Optimash Prime: Transformers gets the Mr Potato Head treatment
The Autobots wouldn’t be anywhere near as hard if their robotic exteriors concealed soft potato centres. Although at least it’d give the Decepticons scope for sundry ‘You’ve had your chips, Optimus Prime..’ taunts. So far, however, there hasn’t been a Transformers / potato crossover of note.
