Halo Transformer on eBay: From Warthog to Master Chief

Andi Wang — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 22:30:13 EST

Never have I ever seen a Transformer this cool: a custom Master Chief Transformer on eBay that goes from being a Spartan soldier to—not just any old car—an actual Warthog LRV. ZOMG.

Up for auction is a custom built Transformer of Master Chief from the Halo series of games. A quick transformation turns him from the iconic Spartan soldier into a battle ready Warthog LRV . Stands 5 1/4" tall when transformed and comes with a variety of weapons including a Sniper Rifle, Spike Grenade, and Warthog turret. Built from a McFarlane Master Chief figure, an Actionclix Wartog and an Autobot Hound transformer, many hours of work have been put into this to make it a faithfull representation of both the vehicle and the character.

The auction ends on March 12, and is currently at $51 with 15 bids. Hmm, I think I found what I'm going to blow my cash on this month. [eBay via geekologie]

It's a chocolate helmet. Shaped like Master Chief. For your penis. Yes, that Master Chief. Or as the site calls him, "The One Eyed Spartan." As if dressing up junior as a viking or Indiana Jones wasn't silly enough. Reserve yours today for $7.95! [Chocolate Party Hats via The Raw Feed]

Custom Master Chief Transformer: (Gasp) Having...Trouble... Breathing!

When I came across this custom Master Chief transformer, I have to admit that my heat skipped a beat. If yours did too, you are a huge geek and we love you for it. And the best part is you can actually own this bad boy if you are up to the task of outbidding the competition. Here is the skinny straight from the creator:

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 vary 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.

If you want to get in on the action, you have about three days left. The bid is currently at $75 on eBay, but my guess is that it will sell for a hefty sum when all is said and done. [eBay via Gearfuse]

MIT Hackers Prank Harvard Statue With Master Chief Helmet, Assault Rifle

Jason Chen — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 15:50:04 EDT

MIT's known for pranks, or hacks, against rival school Harvard (and sometimes even on their own campus). Their latest hack today enhances the John P. Harvard statue with a battle-ready Master Chief Spartan helmet and assault rifle (with a bullet count of 2E) in honor of Halo day. Other notable, and perhaps more difficult, hacks include assembling a painted MIT Campus Police car on top of their great dome, assembling a MIT Fire Department truck on their great dome, and a gigantic Triforce on top of the great dome. If they somehow got the Harvard Master Chief statue on top of their great dome, we'd declare this the best hack ever. [MIT]

Halo Master Chief Mimobot Thumb Drives (Finish the File Transfer)

Mimoco's got these Limited Edition Master Chief USB Drives in 1, 2 and 4GB sizes. They're preloaded with artwork from the upcoming Halo novel and an episode of "This Spartan Life", they're pricey at $109 for the larger model, but given the Halo feeding frenzy, they would still sell out of the limited run if they charged 50% more.

LEGO Master Builds Halo 3 Master Chief

Charlie White — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 10:43:17 EDT

Just in time for the big Halo 3 rollout tomorrow, master LEGO builder Nathan Sawaya creates a likeness of that mofo Master Chief, which he says is his most-requested object these days. The video shows a lot of the other amazing creations done by this attorney turned LEGO artist. As you can see by his work, there's a few good reasons why he earns more money as a LEGO dude than he did as an attorney. [MTV]

Halo 3's Master Chief is an Ass

Jason Chen — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 17:50:27 EDT

So, okay, we've gotten into the Halo fever a little bit too with our gallery of the Halo 3 Limited Edition Xbox. Well, here's a bit of Halo 3 tomfoolery for a late Friday afternoon. Apparently some guy dressed up in a Master Chief suit, went down to his local game store, and started humping PS3s and "stealing" copies of Halo 3. [Gamebrink]

Papercraft Master Chief Lacks Corpse Humping Ability

Jason Chen — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 18:20:21 EDT

Are you dripping at the teats for Halo 3? Well, here's something you can create yourself after your SAT prep course to tide you over until next Tuesday. It's a Master Chief papercraft model that measures 13 inches tall and was painstakingly created out of 42 individual pieces. The guy who made it even made directions, which allow you to embark on your own EXXXXTREEEEME paper folding adventure. Feel free to shout racial and sexual epithets at it when done.
