Seibertron.com has just received word from Core Gear rep, Susan Wile, that the Xip3 Transforming Jacket is now on sale. Seibertronians may remember way back when the Transformers Club held an exclusive contest for the triple changing outerwear.

Here's what Susan had to share about this unique garment:

Hello,

My company is currently running a massive sale on our award winning, convertible TRANSFORMERS jackets (the jacket turns into a backpack and also into a pillow). Each jacket is individually numbered in a limited edition. Steven Spielberg owns #1 and Michael Bay owns #2. These jackets originally retailed for $495 and are now $95.

Please go to our website http://www.xip3.com and click the link to the store. These jackets are collector's items of very high quality and would never be sold at a Target or a WalMart.










So there you have it Seibertronians. Even your clothing can transform now. View the listing for this jacket here.

Pretty nifty. But I already have to deal with my cat's fur on my pillow and clothes!

In the ineffable words of Peter Griffin:
"This [transforming jacket/backpack/pillow] is freakin' sweet!"

I wish I had the money to be buying one, but Christmas season is hard on a wallet.
Especially given Hasbro's sales this year.

That said, it seems to me that all of my jackets are technically transformable.
They can all be turned into pillows.
It's called balling them up and shoving them under your head.

Ah... the vacation memories that brings back...
Getting in the car at 5 in the morning...
Being in a generally bad mood until I pillow-fied a jacket and slept on the back seat until dawn...
Good times, good times.

That's actually freaking cool. I'd get it but I don't know how i'd be paying for it XD.

I won the one from the Transformers Club giveaway last year. They are very nice indeed and full of other features besides the transforming parts, very warm too. I plan on getting another for the youngster, especially this cheap, they are well worth it.

AWESOME!

Hah! I got the same email!

Michael Bay has one? I'd been planning to purchase one beofre I read that. Now, I think I'll pass.
