A few years ago, we saw Limited Edition Transformers Zippo lighters. Well, now they’re back and this time the lighters are featuring embossed images of Movie Optimus Prime, Movie Bumble Bee, and the Autobot faction symbol. They’ll be released in Japan in June. Check out the images below that are at TFormers.com.

It's such a shame when this happens...and I mean that a no0b like me has made the first post of this new subject...I guess I should stay off the computer...but then it's only half past 6.

Anyways, if I were able to buy these (I doubt a 16-year-old can buy fire lighters...we can buy blades though) I would, cuz they're jst so damn cool!

I don't think there is an age limit to purchase lighters. Only cigarettes. But be prepared to shell out $85 for them each.

Well, it kinda transforms. Still, I'd buy it.

I like Zippos, I've been carring one since I was about 10, but I'm gonna pass on these. Maybe if SMKW puts the plain faction ones on clearance, I'll get that one, but otherwise, I don't like them

If it were the G1 designs (or even beast wars!) insignias then I'd snap one'o these up.

That's not a transforming lighter, THIS is a transforming lighter:

That's kinda on topic.

As for the actual working lighters, I really have no need for one, but I respect the novelty of it.

*edit* They made MORE! :shock:

I didn't know that.

*edit 2*

Sheesh, there was a whole series dedicated to the guys!
