Apr 26 2007Nike shoe Transformers

In preparation for the new Transformers movie, Takara is releasing these Transformers toys which turn into 1/2 scale Nike shoes. No, seriously. Not a tank, or a jet, or even a sports car. Shoes. They turn into shoes.
A pretty sweet video of what an actual Shoe Transformer might look like after the jump.

Nevermind that it's half scale. No matter the size, I have found only one use for shoes, and thats putting them square up Jillybeans ass. She appreciates the attention!

This movie really has the toy makers working overtime.
I hear they are coming out with a line of pet Transformers. Dogs, cats, gerbils, etc.
The coolest one is the St. Bernard dog Transformer. Not only does the dog transform into a robot, but when it takes a shit, the steaming pile of dog poo transforms into a robot too!
It's like Soundwave and his little cassette tapes. There will be different steaming piles of dog shit Transformers. There will be CornPoo, Diarrheabot, and BigLog.

Hey, a little butt-action never hurt anyone. Could you wiggle it around more to the left though? Ahhh, that's the spot!

VanMan and jillybean should get their own board.
I think the shoes are only 1/2 size until you pump them up.

#11 is the reason why this movie, despite all logical reason, may still be a box office success.

What about making a specially designed elevated shoes for manny pacquiao for his use for training & an upcoming fight with oscar dela hoya? The said shoes will make manny taller by 2 inches than when wearing the usual shoes he used during his previous fights but its detailed design should not affect the movements, reflexes, speed, power, footwork etc. of pacman.
