We've received news of a new series of skateboarding decks rolling in from Primitive Skate featuring some nice Transformers G1-esque art of the main Autobot and Decepticon cast members! They will apparently be released on July 11th, and you check out the designs below!

Did they just make up a Transformer for the rightmost board He looks like a real gear robot

It's too bad, that's some of the best art I've seen in the G1 cartoon style and it seems this company puts a lot of their art online as wallpapers, but they had to ruin it with some random camera guy for some reason. I thought it might be a company mascot or something since the company name is below him, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

IKR? They should call him Genericon. It's like some sort of Autobot drone, almost like the ones from the movie toyline. I just can't get over the fact that they just decided to make up their own. Like they were just thinking "how hard can it be" and this happened

Being a skater and Transformers fan for 30 years I think these look really nice, but I got enough decks laying around in my garage and don't need any more. Skate companies are starting to do this more and more now with popular fan bases like Star Wars, etc...

Those look sweeeet, if I had wall space I'd get them all and hang them together like that.

Those would be too nice to actually skate. They would be more of an art piece for me.

As we were promised last month, Primitive Skate have now fully released their G1 inspired (and licensed) Transformer skating decks - plus a number of accessories and gear - over on their online shop. You can check out some mirrored images below, and browse for purchase here!

Based on their product page he's VX Prime. I guess they wanted to create their own OC?

this thing I guess.

Transformers >>> star wars , and I think the art of the star wars decks of santa cruz suck, unlike these decks where they stuck to the original designs.
