Autobots and Decepticons Agree: Palm Pre Rulz, iPhone Sux

Dan Nosowitz — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 16:00:00 EDT

You may have thought, after eons of punching each other in movies with nonexistent plots, that Autobots and Decepticons wouldn't agree on anything. But as proven on Attack of the Show, they both agree that the Pre bests the iPhone.

Thanks to Fractal the Meek for dropping a ~~Communist~~ international-friendly video in the comments.

We may have to change out opinion on this most contentious of debates. No, not the iPhone vs. Pre; we're talking about the new film version of Brideshead Revisited vs. the classic 1981 miniseries. [Thanks, Stephen!]

Chinese Kids To Get Hyperwiz, Fakey Version of Transformers

Elaine Chow — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 09:00:00 EST

We've covered how companies in China borrow inspiration from gadget makers and architects, as well as how they can be prissy about obeying copyright laws, so I guess making copycat cartoons is kind of par for the course. Here's the newest trailer of a Chinese TV series called Hyperwiz, a 3D vaguely anime-styled cartoon with cars, trucks and helicopters that transform into cars. Wait, don't you mean?... Yes, it's a ripoff of Transformers, complete with Autobots and Decepticons, and characters called Ironhide and Bonecrusher. Optimus Prime would not be pleased. [Youku]

Autobot and Decepticon Pillows

Following up on the soft Transformers plushies from the other day, these Autobot and Decepticon pillows bring the movie straight to your couch. They're shaped like the actual Autobot/Decepticon badge symbols, which means they don't actually change shapes like the actual Transformers.

They're $22 each, so you'll have to watch that drool unless you want Megatron to end up smelling like one of the Dinobots after they came up out of a landfill. Or, we suppose, Landfill himself. – Jason Chen
