For those looking to add a little Transformers flavor to their Christmas tree this year we have two new movie themed ornaments from Carlton. The first is a ROTF Megatron head complete with battle damage and light-up eyes. The second is an action pose Bumblebee. Both are currently are currently available on Amazon at the following links:

Pretty sure they just took 2007 Robot Replicas Bumblebee and just stuck a wire in his head. Looks so lazily designed.
On the other hand, Megatron looks fantastic, though i doubt the paint job in the image will be reflected in the actual product

Yeah, the paint is mostly silver, very little brass/rust coloration. Still pretty neat though... and kinda creepy in the dead of night when the lights are off xD

Got the Megatron ornament as a b-day gift a few months ago.

Let's all get into the spirit by hanging insane dead alien robo-dictators in our tree.

$37 for a piece of crap to hang from your tree? You might as well light your wallet on fire.

Insanely overpriced.

How big is that Megatron head, anyways?

There's a video and size info here. Looks to be about the size of a large plum.

Kinda small for a 37 USD ornament, and you'd probably need at least a half dozen to make the tree look decent.

Either way, isn't it kind of morbid to be hanging the heads of dead megalomaniacal alien dictators on your Christmas tree?

No more morbid than having a tree slowly dying in your living room.

When you're living in a tropical country like I am, the only Christmas tree you'll be having in your living room is the dead kind. Well, not so much "dead"--more like lifeless, as in plastic and metal.
