This eBay seller has a red version of the Nike Transformer dubbed Starscream. It is a Not For Sale prototype. No bot mode pictures, but here is the listing.

Nike Starscream?

Transformer + shoe ≠ cool

by **Nujevad** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 1:00 am

Lazy Takara. They've already gotten three figures with the exact same body, I guess a fourth one wouldn't hurt.

Wow, for not seeing a bot mode, the bidding is pretty high already.

I guess it's because the shoe is red, and we all know red things go faster.

What if it is Sideswipe?

I have no interest in the Transformer shoes either, but I know some of us here are into collecting these more obscure figures.

I guess now you'd have to call him a "sneaker" jet! HA!

I'll be quiet now...

Starsneak... that shoe : waste of money waste of time :lol:

by **Freddery** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 5:06 am

Quite frankly the entire concept of transforming shoes is silly, especially if they only come in one size and for one foot...

Okay, these are not shoes for wearing, they are just modeled after the Nike Free 7.0. They are had plastic, and the robot bits are inside, no room for a foot, even if you had a foot tiny enough. You don't ride in your car Transformers do you? The real gears don't actually work for you do they?

These are just another cross promotional product, and with the way they sell out and prices have skyrocketed, I'd say these are a pretty good idea--somebody is liking them, and not a bad idea for a short term investment, if you count on toys for that sort of thing.

Well now all they need to do is release a Blue one and resculpt a new head for Soundwave!! Then they could release a Yellow one and call him bumblebee..

Sounds like a better premise than what we have for the new animated series

That would be the only time you catch me buying one of these.

The seller needs to show bot pics before they are sold

yeah but you can roll the cars around and make motor noises with your mouth. What are you gonna do with a shoe? put one in front of another? please Tfs are always cooler if they are vehicles or mp3 players or cameras or Guns not shoes. Unless you had a life-sized combiner! another Tf to for the shin, ext... that would be cool.

Just got word for the seller. New bot mode pics are on the page, thou his camera isn't that great. The head is all blurred so can't tell if its SS or not.
