You know how when a guy courts a girl, sometimes the right move is a grand gesture? A bouquet of flowers to say you’re sorry. A surprise weekend getaway to mark an anniversary. How about a giant Transformers replica to pop the question?

I can never decide which side I’m on. Autobots or Decepticons. This amazing gingerbread Optimus Prime has swayed me. It was made by a friend of a friend of Redditor downvotedagain.
We don’t know much about this amazing holiday treat. Not even if this girl is the one who made it. None of that matters. All that matters is that this is a thing. A really awesome thing I would like to admire and then eat. The detail is really nice and he looks like he could hold his own in an all out gingerbread robot fight. Oh yeah. I break me off a piece of that robot and serve it up with a nice cold glass of milk. It would probably take a month to eat this thing.
No icing though. That might be a deal breaker. Gotta have icing on your gingerbread robots.

If you’re trying to eat healthier, it’s a good idea to know exactly what goes into the food you consume. And while that’s not exactly the goal Bandai had in mind when it created these sushi transformers that turn into what they’re made from, it’s justification enough to collect all five.

If you were thinking about baking and building a gingerbread house this holiday season to impress your friends, don’t waste your time. Because Caroline Eriksson has easily claimed the title of ‘most awesome gingerbread thing’ for 2013 with this unbelievably magnificent gingerbread Optimus Prime.

A couple of weeks ago we checked out 80s Tees’ kick ass Voltron hoodie. It turns out the apparel shop also has something for Transformers fans. This officially licensed Starscream hoodie is based on the treacherous Decepticon’s design in the original Transformers cartoon.
As you can see the hoodie has wings that make it look like a wingsuit. But that doesn’t bother me; what bothers me is the canopy detail on the front of the hoodie. It will make skinny people look even thinner; just look at the dude in the pictures. I guess only robust people are worthy of wearing Starscream.
Practice your screechy voice and order the Starscream hoodie from 80s Tees for just $60 (USD).

After delighting kids and toy collectors in the 1980s, it’s nice to see the Transformers still enjoying some modicum of popularity. And while the Hollywood blockbusters have been forgettable, this wonderful Starscream hoodie—complete with presumably non-working wings—is not.

It’s baffling to think that it’s taken until the year 2013 for Hasbro and Nike—two of the most powerful brands from the 1980s and 1990s—to finally team up and pay proper tribute to one of the best cartoon bad guys of all time. And while this isn’t the first Nike and Transformers mashup, this amazing Megatron-themed set of shoes are the first that self-respecting Decepticon fans might actually want to wear.

If you bumped into your eight-year-old self on the street and told him that actual Transformers would walk—fly, crawl, and swim—the planet within his lifetime, your eight-year-old self’s head would probably explode. But shape-shifting autonomous robots are exactly what’s in the works at the Sandia National Laboratory.

Lego builder Alex Jones, AKA Orion Pax, has constructed an amazing Lego replica of Optimus Prime. The detail and functionality are phenomenal. Jones has been working on his Lego G1 Transformers series for over 10 years. Cybertron would be proud.

As his chosen moniker gives away, LEGO enthusiast Alex Jones aka Orion Pax is a huge fan of Transformers. It’s no surprise that one of his ongoing builds is a replica of his namesake, specifically a Generation 1 Optimus Prime. Yep, it can transform into a vehicle and a robot.
As you’ll see in the gallery below Alex also made Prime’s sidekicks, Roller and the Combat Deck.
The Brothers Brick points out that Alex cheated a bit with Prime’s head because it’s actually a KRE-O piece, but that’s just a small compromise for a stunning build.
It turns out Alex is quite the perfectionist. He says he’s been working on transformable LEGO versions of the Generation 1 Transformers since 2000, and implies that he’ll never be fully satisfied with his builds. He says that he thinks about them even at night and at this point it’s like his toys are torturing him, compelling him to improve them over and over. Sounds like this Prime is quite a Decepticon after all. Check out Alex’s website for more of his awesome work.
