I dunno...I kinda like 'em. Guess it's all about personal tastes and styles.

I guess the old transformers of our time that had high moral standings and

Way to drag down the franchise Hasbro.
It's almost offensive, and downright sad.

I couldn't disagree with you more. When I was a 9 year old kid in 1985 Transformers were my life (along with G.I. Joe ). And in the neighborhood I grew up in the soundtrack didn't include Stan Bush's the Touch or Weird Al's Dare to be Stupid. We would have loved Hip Hop music to be a part of the 1986 feature film soundtrack. Now our demographic is getting it's recognition and being more included in the marketing. Over the years G1 has been kept in the mainstream by Hip Hop culture via DJ's such as DJ Megatron, included in many rappers lyrics (Lil Wayne in Chris Brown's Transform Ya) and in alot of our fashion (G Shock watches, baseball caps etc). Even in the original series the episode Auto-Bop features a break dancing crew aided by Blaster, who coincidentally transforms into a Hip Hop inspired boom box. We all have different fond memories of G1 but it is a brand that can be shared by all cultures. And plus those Roc-A-Wear designs are pretty sick.

Agreed. Some of them are totally sweet, heck even the BB one isnt too bad

Actually I find your comment offensive and downright sad...

Exactly what is your problem with "ghetto urban culture" ???

Must all transformers fans be geeks and so called "fan boys" ??? I grew up in the streets of Miami. Ive hung out with gang members, driven a lowrider, recorded rap music in home studios, drink Colt 45 and used smoke out, and my favorite music groups are Three Six Mafia and Trick Daddy.

Did I mention I have over close to $10,000 invested in my Transformers collection ???

I welcome Transformer Shirts that I dont have to order size XXXL just to avoid getting "geek size" tight shirts. (like the Botcon shirt sizes) I bet even all these Linkin Park boy band fans will buy these cool shirts. I might grab a few...

first off the shirts are gorgeous and I am so buying one or two.... and three I just got my self a new rigntone

Interesting comments so far, I didn't expect anything like them! Anywho I would pick up 1 or 2 but the rest can belong to the world...'nuff said!

love the art work. I wish they would put that pic of optimus coming out of the smoke on the "kingdom come" shirt, i would be all over that. put megatron on the "i came, i saw, i conquered"

I'm sure Old Navy will work something out with Gobots and Justin Bieber for you some day....or do you prefer Jem and Lady Gaga?

I'll be sure to pick up that Megatron/"I love my haters" shirt Along with Starscreems "Renegade"

Man...they've gotta do one with Soundwave and the cassettes! So exited!
