Registered. A bit pricey but I'm a bit of a sneaker head and I like em. I really need the Bumblebee pair to go with my 2010 TF editition Camaro.

Sign up now for *a chance* to buy, lol. It looks like most of the "price" comes from the design of the packaging, rather than the designing of the actual shoe, which is just a not much special sneaker. If I spend more than $30 on shoes they better be some kind of specialty shoe, like steel-toe boots.

Via fellow news hound D-Maximus_Prime, we have news of an officially licensed hoodie to be found at Walmart - at least the one in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania - for $17.44. In fact, there are two: one for the Transformers featuring the Autobot logo, one for GI Joe - check them out below!

For anyone wondering, this thing is comfy as a warm fluffy blanket on a frigid January night with the power out, gas froze, and a snowed in driveway. I love it.

I saw these at my Walmart in South Georgia as well. I was looking for a Decepticon one, but I guess they don't have them. It's all about the Autobots. :roll:

Via IDW artist Kei Zama on Twitter, we have news of a new officially licensed t-shirt design from Verse Comics, in their Verse Styles range, featuring Zama's art of Decepticon leader Megatron in his IDW G1 appearance! Also worth noting the now well seen version of Optimus Prime also available from the same location, and the Decepticon and Autobot versions of the Japanese Transformers logo, all of which are shown in images below.

Oh hey, that's Megs' pre-Dark Cybertron design! Only had it for a few issues but it's my favourite

Another cool thing my GF found at NYCC are these BAIT figures. She said that Soundwave got sold out. I think the tape to the left in the first pic said prime sold out too.) They seem to have all the camo ones though.

Thanks to a heads up from IDW artist Kei Zama, we have new pictures of some licensed T-shirts from the Tokyo Comic Con that feature art from Zama herself! The shirts include the previously seen Optimus Prime, Megatron, and the Autobot and Decepticon versions of the Japanese Transformers logo, along with a new shirt that features the purple and black master of disaster with a goatee himself, Shattered Glass Hot Rod! The Optimus Prime shirt is based on his appearance on the very first image of the IDW Optimus Prime comic, which has become a staple of Zama's, Megatron's art is based on his IDW Transformers appearance pre-Dark Cybertron, and Shattered Glass Hot Rod is new art altogether. The shirts come in multiple colors, featuring white, gray, and black, and can be seen below!

Also of note, you can find the information regarding the new Shattered Glass Hot Rod shirt over here.

That Shattered Glass Hot Rod T-shirt is so awesome, and knowing that it is drawn by one of the animators from Trigger makes it even cooler.
I wish that Trigger would make animated Transformers show (or movie), that would be so tight, cause well lately Transformers animated programs have been so.....to put is nicely....lackluster.

Coming to us from fellow Seibertronian Sunstar today, we have another addition to the ever-growing list of fashion accessories and clothing that feature a Transformers theme. This time, we're looking at Peter Alexander, an Australian night and housewear (and dog wear) designer, and the brand's online shop, which you can visit here.

The items in the catalogue include boxers, sleeping shorts, pajamas, lounge-wear, all featuring G1 style artwork and patterns, with Megatron, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee taking the main stage, and some Autobot and Decepticon symbols to boot. The clothing is mostly marketed for male customers, of various age brackets, but can easily be worn by anyone. Check a sample out below!

Where to buy?

Comment by BumbleDouche Feb 12, 2018

I'd love underwear with Bumblebee on it, but only if his head was on the rear side. That way, I could enjoy farting through his cursed face.

Youre kidding right?

Coming from a lifelong Transformers fan...a T-shirt is cool. Hell, even a tattoo is cool. But if you buy this type of stuff in your adulthood, you got issues. :shock:

Rock the Bumblebee helmet hat with that nightgown for the perfect outfit. Being "an adult" according to other people's "standards" is over-rated.

Too bad all the Transformers stuff on that site is MASSIVELY over-priced.
