Optimus Prime Speakers Feature Pretty Half-Assed Transforming
Come on, this isn't much of a transformation. This powered USB gadget is in the shape of Optimus Prime's severed head, and the ears (or whatever) swing out to reveal the speakers within. More » -

OCZ Sabre Does OLED Custom Keys On the Cheap
With the Sabre, OCZ has made good on a CES promise: to take Art Lebedev's OLED-in-each-key concept and adapt it for the mass market. Along with a lower price, though, this means a less impressive feature set. More » -

Optima Prime T-Shirt, Font Transformed
Fact: Optimus Prime would be a badass no matter what he transformed from or to. It's the soul of a Transformer that makes him great. Optimus Prime could save the world if he assembled from macaroni, puff paints, stringed popcorn or used baby diapers into a giant dinner, tacky sweater, festive Christmas tree thing or gross pile of refuse. The dude's a hero. That's just how it works. Oh, and this t-shirt will run you $14 should you be considering the purchase. [Zazzle via Geekologie] -

Your Very Own Optimus Prime Can Dance to JT Too
I’ve seen quite a few R/C cars in my day, but I’ve never seen one that actually transforms the way Optimus Prime can. The RCRC (or Remote Controlled Robotic Car) offers four modes for your entertainment: robot, truck, sports car, and“hip-hop dance”robot-tank. And I definitely hope I don't meet whoever was controlling that RCRC out on the road someday. The RCRC also comes with a rechargeable battery, but unfortunately (or is that fortunately?) not Megan Fox. [Technabob] -

Optimus Prime T-Shirt Transforms into Arrest Threat at Airport
We love Transformers here at Giz, but it looks like the UK's already slightly-crazed authorities don't. A guy called Brad Jayakody was recently barred from boarding a flight at Heathrow Airport's new Terminal 5 because his T-shirt had a picture of Optimus Prime brandishing a gun. More » -

7-Foot Optimus Prime Constructed From Old Car Parts
When cars die, they don't go to some magical car heaven (except for hybrids, maybe). But the best, luckiest ones just might become Transformer replicas. Standing at 87 inches tall and weighing a respectable 485 pounds, this Optimus Prime statue is a probably the most compelling argument for recycling we've ever seen. And its leg detail is as incredible as the torso: More » -

Optimus Prime USB Hub Speaks but Won't Stomp Across Your Desk
"I laugh in the face of your so-called transforming USB hub!" says the four-way Optimus Prime USB Hub, "because I, Optimus Prime, am a Transformers USB hub that... um... doesn't transform. Oh." What the 9-inch Autobot bust actually does do is flash its eye lights and shout out when you connect something to it. And in case that gets boring, you can turn the sound function off. Available August for $34.99. [BigBadToystore via Everything USB] -

Homemade Optimus Prime Costume Doesn't Quite Capture the Autobot's Masterful Walk
It's long and a bit ponderous, but it's worth it when you get to the end of sister site Jalopnik's video of a guy struggling into a ten-foot tall Optimus Prime costume. Firstly, you get to see the bossman of the Autobots getting his gear on. A couple of minutes later, he's ready to move—and move he does, wreaking terror to the suburban streets. Er, heavy night, Optimus? [Jalopnik] -

Transformers Hand Fans Make You Cooler, But Not With The Ladies
Our colleague over at Prime Diary has hipped us to a pair of Transformers hand fans that serve a purpose while upping your geek-cred. Painted as either Optimus Prime or Megatron, each fan has a removable top revealing a soft fan blade that offers instant cool when you and your Autobots roll out. Judging from the box art, it not only looks like a Japan exclusive, but comes in Ultraman, Spiderman, Batman and Superman flavors as well. More pics can be found at Prime Diary.

Optimus Prime Case Mod Almost Seven Feet Tall, Eats Mac Minis
Modder John entered this Optimus Prime case mod into the Extreme Tech case mod contest, and well, it's probably the best Transformers-based case mod we've seen yet. It's six feet ten inches tall, transforms into a smaller desktop mode, has a seven-inch LCD on its body, two windows on its chest (like the actual Optimus prime), Autobot symbols, and even has storage compartments on the legs to hold your mouse and keyboard and other junk. Autobots, transform and level grind. [Extreme Tech] -

Real Life Optimus Prime Challenges Megatron To Epic Battle
You may remember these two gentlemen, as we recently covered them in the run-up to the Transformers movie debut. Optimus Prime changed his name to honor his childhood hero, while Jason Burrows took the less drastic step of altering his middle name to Megatron. Now it seems that Optimus has had enough tomfoolery and wants to settle things once and for all:Jason "Megatron" Burrows:

Transformers Plushies That Actually Transform
This is something we didn't expect. Unlike Optimus Prime, these Transformer gadgets and a crazy Hong Kong man, these transformers plushies don't cut you up when you rub your face on them. If the cartoons in the '80s taught us anything, it's that robot aliens from another galaxy enjoy being used to prop up a woman's ass during intercourse. More » -
