Jan 11 2008OMG!: Custom Master Chief Transformer
First there was the Spartan Master Chief costume on eBay, then there was the female Master Chief figurine, and now somebody went and made a Master Chief Transformer and has put it up on the auction block.
You are looking at a very special auction for a 6" tall Transformers Custom Master Chief (AKA Spartan Prime) APC 117 Armored Personnel Carrier. This figure has been repainted to match Master Chief himself. He has multiple points of articulation and has also been sealed, meaning you can pose him in all sorts of awesome poses. Instructions are included because these figures can be hard to figure out. This guy also comes with an assortment of weapons just like the ones in the game. He also comes with a miniature version of Master Chief and an alien. Master Chief has two hidden missile bays along with some hidden grenades and pistol. But keep in mind this is a custom and no custom is perfect so be careful when posing him. The details really bring the character to life and must be seen in person, Plus I am not a very good photographer so the pictures do not do this custom any justice! Master Chief will look great on your shelf next to the rest of your collection as an accurate portrayal of the character.
Well hot damn -- I want, I want! The auction started at $9.99 but is now up to $107.50 with 3 days and 6 hours left. I imagine it's going to go pretty high, but I must have him regardless of cost. OMG, OMG, I am getting so excited! Bo-bo-BO-BONER ALERT!!! Code f'ing red, someone call the doctor -- I am going ca-razy! Aye, aye, aye, Aiyeeeeeeeee!!!
UPDATE: After this post the Geekologie writer was found dead on the couch with a laptop. He smelled and looked like shit but died with a smile on his face. He won't be missed, but will be held accountable for his $6 billion bid.
A whole bunch more pictures after the jump, along with a link to the auction.
Have a good weekend everybody!

The wheels look ridiculous.

Holy moly. I am really impressed that it can transform that well. Though the gun turret does look a bit out of place, it's still a sexy piece.
Good luck to all bidders. :]

This makes no sense. Why wouldn't he transform into a vehicle associated with Halo like a Warthog of Scorpion? Having him turn into some random... whatever that is, just makes it worthless.

Very cool. For those who don't know, this is a modified Star Wars Transformer of the Turbo Tank from Episode III (http://www.etoys.com/genProduct.html/PID/4817975/ctid/17?ci_sku=591456R&ci_src=14110944).
This certainly looks a lot better than the original source.

Carrying 10 sets of tires is just dumb.

"...an accurate portrayal of the character." Now granted I'm not a Halo fan, though I do appreciate artwork and I love Transformers. So...I am not exactly sure what the last part of the description means (the part I quoted), but I don't think that it's all that accurate.
It is amazing, but the "accurate" part gets me. Oh well...now up to $150 with 2 days, 21 hours remaining. It's neat, but I wouldn't pay that much for it...I still want to get Ultimate Bumblebee...Transformers 2: '09!

BECAUSE all the guy did was paint a transformer to look like the Chief. He did not make this, he found a toy that LOOKED like him and painted it, nothing more. This is not a "true" transformer though, it was a cheap knock off.

16. mike - January 14, 2008 7:40 AM
Dick, I hope you are Chinese because otherwise your command of English is astounding. You cant even get "American English" right, and that really is English for dummy's.
"cuase (sic) your all pussies." - are you going to finish this sentence? what are "all pussies"? I'm reckoning some kind of Chinese clothing range that you wear, but I've never heard of them.

Master Chief looks very tired.
18. Seymour Butz - January 14, 2008 10:15 PM
Funny thing is this won't turn out to be a one-off, it'll turn out to be a preproduction unit from an assembly line in China that'll soon be putting out millions of these through the grey market for $2.95.
A fool and his money are soon parted... and there's no fool like a fool who thinks Halo is a good game.
19. Mark - January 15, 2008 1:29 PM
Well "DIck Valentine" if that is your real name, and I don't think that it is.
One of 2 things is going on here. First, your are thinking about sueing ur mom and dad for giving you a porn star name, or two. Someone has never even seen a woman outside of a video game.
Not that I have a lot of expereance with woman or anything. Last time I saw a woman she was giving birth to me.
But really, you are on a web site for gamers and sci fi fans. Nobody comes here by mistake, and I know that my time is to importend to waist dissing people who like things I hate, and I know that you MUST be better then me. So your time must be even more importend then mine.
"oh cheif masterbator is not so hot..u know anyone that plays halo...gotta be lacking something ;) cuase your all pussies."
Here you are CLEARLY trying to say that if I'm into Halo then I must be missing part of my body, and it doesn't take a lot of brain cells to guess what part that is. I find it intresting that you need to put down Halo fans to make your self feel good. Wow! You MUST feel low if you have to put down GAMERS to feel good about yourself.
"real men play starcraft." - So you like Starcraft huh? Big deal! I like lots of games, I but a lot of people on here play both Halo and Starcraft. It's not like you have to pick only one. If I played the same game all the time then it would get real old real fast, I don't care what game it is. If you don't believe me then pick the best game in the world and then only play that one for a year, you can't even play "rock, paper, sisors" or "Tic-tac-toe" when ever you want to play a game, you have to play that game.
"im typing this from shanghai, from my bed that is soft..and damn been laid so many times upon." - Now your braging about where you are and how many times you have had sex? "A real man does not kiss and tell, and that is even more true for sex. Also, he who brags the loudest has done it the least."
i here and im dick valentine..lets rock Nerdz!"
Dude, what are you smoking? You play Starcraft, you said so yourself.
How much of a nerd are you if you play Starcraft???
20. Dick Valentine - January 15, 2008 9:23 PM

All you guys especially Dick Valenfucktine over here need to calm the fuck down what does starcraft vs halo even have to do with some retarded painted green starwars transformer anyway!
