The Energon Pub

As most of you know and have seen, Michael Bay has a T-shirt with the text "Giant F'n Robots Are Coming". As this T-shirt got really popular over the course of months, they have decided to sell more of these T-shirts.

nelson of Shootfortheedit.com has posted an interesting update concerning these T-shirts, here.

The website has announced that they will take orders for these T-shirts. The costs will be $30,- plus $3,50 for shipping and handling the item. Payment can only be done via PayPal and only for US citizens.

Interested? Keep checking this thread for more information.

I'm getting one!

Oh, wait... I don't live in the US, dammit.

(yeah, that was a hint)

$30 bucks for a shirt that says "Giant f'n are Coming" seems a bit steep. I will wait for some cooler swag.

Well Michael Bay told in an interview that the money will go to charity. For me, that and the t-shirt itself, are enough reasons to buy it. (and I sometimes pay more than 30-40 dollar for a t-shirt, once even 55...)

Well, there's $33.50 that I won't be spending!

US only? Well...

1) WTF? It's 2007, guys.
2) I'll just have to look for them at Botcon

As I said in the first post, more information will come soon. I trust they will also and a picture.

Almost $35 for a t-shirt? I dont think so. The most ill spend on a T-Shirt is $20-$25. And i only buy t-shirts online when im getting more than one. That way the shipping is worth it. There isnt even a pic to show what it looks like. Unless it has some kick ass pic of one of the bots im gonna pass.

Would anyone be willing to help a non US resident out because I would love one of those shirts?

well if its the same shirt bay wore...its just simple writing...no fancy graphics or pictures

I had to do laundry rhis weekend which left me with only 1 clean shirt left. Said shirt had a gigantic middle finger on it.

Why do I mention this, simple, obsene shirts that seem fun now, more often than not lead to you covering up with your arms while having a little kid staring at you while on line at the market.

Just a friendly heads up is all that is.

U.S. Orders Only = ****ing Pisser

Thankfully it is only for the US, I dont think its a great thing to walk around with shirts with offensive words on them, especially if its not even clever or funny.

Besides if its only the text, you could make it cheaper and quicker yourself.

If it's got some giant f'n robots on it I might be interested, but if it's only text, I'll pass.

Yep, that's all they are, giant effing robots. Nothing more.

Every week, I read countles news posts for specials in Japan(share the wealth), Canada(you're right there, can't share those constant sales, and reruns), The UK(double charging muthaf___ers), The Neitherlands, Aulstralia, New Zealand, and all the rest of the world, and what do we here in The States say, "Good For You"

Now we finaly get something exclusive, not even a good something, and all you guys get pissed!

Go to F___'n Ebay, and shut up!

Times like this make me remember why our families packed up and left your parts of the world.

I will get these shirts!

cute. I'd rather make my own on cafepress.com for 15 bucks.
In fact, I think I'll do that right now.

Anyone who pays over thirty bucks for a shirt they shouldn't go out in public wearing is an idiot.

He does have a point. How many exclusives has Japan and other countries got? How many does the US get? Think of how much money we Americans have had to spend on ebay to get exclusives. Its a T-shirt not some kick ass figure. Hell it aint even a good T-Shirt. If you want something bad enough there are ways to get it. Its called eBay. And be warry of your lingo. Telling people to shut up will get you a message from the moderators. Many of us have found this out the hard way.

I'll jus buy the knockoff at comic con that says "Big F'n robots are here"

Do you know what kind of markup TF toys have up here?
A bloody Voyager at TRU costs about 30$
A deluxe runs me a good 16 to 17 dollars, depending on which store I'm at.
We need sales just to pay sane prices on these toys.
It also takes damn forever for the waves of toys to even get on to store shelves. I'm amazed the movie toys didnt get delayed too.

Furthermore, up here in the Great White North, we don't have all those nice KB exclusives, because we don't have KB at all. So we gotta look out for not only the Japanese exclusives but the AMERICAN ones as well. Shipping charges to Canada from the US are also rather hefty.

With our high dollar you'd think they'd adjust our inflated prices, but no, it still costs $70 plus tax for a Leader-sized figure. WTF? And sales? Reruns? What do OUR stores and OUR TV stations have to do with you?

Back to the topic of toys, if I may. Being a Quebecer sucks because we have to wait for stuff to get translated before we ever see it on our shelves. We often get stuff late, or sometimes not at all. Exclusives? Yeah, like they'd bother to translate those. KB and Target exclusives? Those stores don't even exist in my province. And this is just Quebec, one province of one country getting shafted, not to mention the rest of international (ie: "non-American") fans who get screwed too just because they aren't in the US.

Fans being angry because they can't get their hands on a sought-after, uninteresting, overpriced t-shirt doesn't mean that they are hating you, America, Americans, President Bush, Freedom, or Jesus. People are just annoyed because the States tend to have it easier than most other places.

Now we finaly get something exclusive, not even a good something, and all you guys get pissed!

"Finally"? Read my above comments about not being able to get well, just about ANY exclusive at Quebec retail.

Go to F___'n Ebay, and shut up!

Right, great idea. Pay an arm, a leg, 2 left nuts and a first born child for something already rediculously overpriced. Great thinking, there.

Geez, where the hell did that comment come from? I feel tempted to write "Y'all dun't comes back nao, y'hear?" since perhaps you'd understand me better if I sank to your level, but it wouldn't be right.

You want to get a shirt? You're willing to spend $30+ USD on a t-shirt? You live in the US? Then by all means, get one. But please keep in mind than many international fans can't and aren't too pleased about it.

Oh, and while you're at it, don't forget to hate the American fans who aren't willing to buy an overpriced t-shirt that isn't even that interesting! They must be "muthaf___ers" too, eh?

Yep, a $30 T-Shirt, the profits of which go to charity.

You'd get a shirt that subtly advertises your fandom, AND you help stop CANCER, but NOOOOO, $30 for a T-Shirt is too much. Cancer? Ah, take a salt tablet.

I'd get one of these if I had the money. Hell, I'd get two.
