These Ghetto Transformers costumes are made using cardboard boxes, paint and probably some paper mache.
It’s all fun and games until it starts to rain. Soggy cardboard might be the least intimidating material ever. You can’t even give someone a paper cut with that shit. These costumes might work as a Halloween costume on a dry night, but for fighting Decepticons? I’ll stick with brute metal.
I’ve always wanted to own my own set of Transformers, but who has the room to fit an entire set of massive robots in their home, let alone a tiny apartment like mine.
But hey, I can have something even cooler. My Transformers transform into individual LEGO bricks. All you have to do is bash them around a little and POW, transforming magic. And all in a limited amount of space.
What the hell is this? A Transformers toy that doesn’t transform? Alright then, let’s give it a shot. This will definitely be a first.
Oh, wait, it’s supposed to be a mash-up with the All Spark Cube. It all makes sense now. Sorta. Come on, we need some transformation power, baby!
None of this photo-trickery or CGI bullshit. This awesome Bumblebee costume is 100% the real deal.
Watch for yourself, about halfway through the video, the costumed dude squats down and morphs into a fricken Chevy Camaro lookalike. I’m so finding a way to get a hold of this ensemble by Halloween.
Disney has already scooped up Marvel and their massive catalog 5,000 comic book characters. But what if Disney moved onto greener pastures and started scooping up toy companies as well? If Hasbro was picked up by Disney, we might start seeing plenty of more toys like this.
The Donald Duck Transformer is both nightmarish (as you contemplate the possible future) and actually, sort of, dare we say, neat? Your second favorite animated duck (because everyone loves Daffy) starts out as an average Bug mobile. But make this duck angry and you’ll feel the unmitigated wrath of pure animated robot rage.
Ice sculptures are the type of thing you imagine old men doing in small Alaskan towns. But apparently there are some aspiring ice sculptors who like to add a taste of geekery to their art.
This Optimus Prime ice sculpture would be great for chilling a small swimming pool full of beer. Other than that, I don’t see much use other than looking pretty. How many disguises do these damn things have?
Used as a promotional device for the film, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the Robotize Me website allows you to take your face and plaster it in the face hole of a Transformer of your choice. I chose Bumblebee, but their are a variety to choose from over at the site.
This might be on the older side, but frankly, I don’t care. I hadn’t heard of it so there’s a good chance some of you haven’t either. Feel free to post links to your creations in the comments. Check out the original photo of me after the jump. My image is no longer mysterious!!! AHHH!
Let me be straight up now, so I don’t drag you along for the ride. This iPod dock is a limited-edition gadget so it costs around $340. If you’ve got the dough, great, but I just thought you’d like to know before you read further and soil yourself in excitement.
With only 100 made, the Music Label – Exile “Perfect Year” Convoy iPod Docking Bay includes a set of built-in speakers and is compatible with every iPod size except for the Shuffle. The coolest part is that Optimus transforms from a iPod dock / trailer thingy into his robot form. Not too bad of a disguise if you ask me.
Some Transformers are better at disguising themselves than others. Some like to add a little sophistication to their disguise. And a few just don’t understand the concept of deception.
This Robots In Bad Disguises t-shirt shows what happens when a Transformer is under-educated in the art of deception. Master of disguise, he is not. Though I am digging the facial hair.
I don’t care how much of an Apple fanboy you are. Mac or not, this notebook is the shiz.
This Asus Transformers G60 gaming notebook was given away as a promotion between Asus and Paramount, in a contest awarding one lucky fan for pre-registering to view Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with Odeon cinemas.
