Seems to be a thing with Gigerpunk & I posting things to wear, and this entry is no exception.

Sure, could probably be made yourself from an old cable or two - but it does have an allure of sorts. 

Transformers trainers are all well and good but…well, you can't actually wear them, can you?

And they're robots that transform into…1 trainer. Not even a pair(Unless you buy both, and then have a mismatched pair(or buy 2 the same and have either 2 left feet or 2 right feet))…

I'm reminded of Tom Hanks' character in Big asking "Where's the fun in that?" about the transformer that turned into a skyscraper…

Plus, Nike and Hasbro are huge soul-less corporations as it is, the whole thing smacks of 'How can we get the 2 groups of most obsessive groups of collectors in the world to fight against each other to buy the most worthless piece of tat imaginable?"

Short of branding it with star wars logos as well and having a computer game of it made by EA, I don't see how else they could've sold it more…

Naaah, this is more what I'm after…

And look at the soles -

Now that's teh funkeh..every step gets you an extra point, how's that for grinding?

Not even world of warcraft gives you points for just walking (does it? I'm horribly out of touch)

There's not really much more I need to say, is there? 

Oh, apart from it's a voice changer helmet, that's not obvious from the picture is it?

Still, it's lovely anyway isn't it? 

Imagine the fun you could have with one of those. Imagine if you had a barbeque in the summer and people were only allowed to come if they were wearing either one of those or one of the new Dr Who Cyberman voice changers…wouldn't that be the most surreal bbq ever?

"Barbeque sauce is the right of ALL sentient beings!"

Or, after dropping a burger into the flames, as usually happens at some point, "One shall stand…one shall fall" 

In fact, wonder if I could mod the barbeque currently sat outside to make it look a little more decepticon-y? It's very large, made of metal and has wheels, after all…

Hmmm…
