Ever wanted a couch that transforms into bunk beds ? Me neither. I do want one that turns into a fighter jet though. Okay you got me, I do want a transformer bunk bed . BUT IT BETTER NOT BE SENTIENT OR I WILL DRAG THAT SHIT OUT INTO THE YARD AND BURN IT. A SOFABED THAT DOES DOUBLE DUTY, Mobelform’s Doc folds out into not one, but two twin sized beds stacked one atop the other: in short, a bunk bed. Included are the necessary mattresses as well as a ladder and short rail to prevent mid-night tumbles. This reminds me of the time my cousin was spending the night and my parents let him sleep in my bunk bed and made me sleep on the floor. Well, he rolled out of the bed in the middle of the night and fell five feet to the ground and didn’t even wake up . I thought he was dead. He might have been dead. Hit the jump for another bed making the transformation.
That has got to be the fastest looking truck I’ve ever seen. And I saw a truck shot out of a cannon before, so I know . Still, needs truck nuts . TRUCK-VETTE [peopleofwalmart] Thanks to Alan, who once drove a truck to the moon and did donuts in a crater. Bitchin’!
I like trains , and not just because they go CHOO CHOO. I also like the hobos that jump on them! THAT’S ENOUGH FOR ME, OKAY? Anyway, this is a Thomas the Tank Engine/ Voltron mashup toy available from Singapore for around $8. It is in no way shape or form licensed or legal. But it is cool. Everybody’s calling it a Transformer but it is clearly a throwback to Voltron. Who, despite being a robot, I still liked as a child because he was rainbow colored and, damnit, I’m a sucker for a rainbow . One time I even got a girlfriend to dress up as Rainbow Bright on Halloween. And not to brag, but she did go home with the handsomest pirate at the party. I was one sad ninja turtle.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots.
In a tale of spontaneous human combustion , a man who had been huffing gasoline ( real Transformers drink it ) was tasered by police and went up in a ball of flames . Sweeeeeet. Police said they were responding to a complaint at a house when (36-year old Ronald) Mitchell ran outside carrying a cigarette lighter and a plastic bottle containing what they believed was fuel. When he refused to stop running towards them, one officer Tasered him, police said. The man was immediately engulfed in flames, but the officer threw him to the ground and smothered the blaze with his hands, the statement said. Mitchell was charged with assault to prevent arrest and possession of a sniffing substance. An 18-year-old woman threw rocks at the officer as he tried to help and he was later treated for a cut on his head and burns to his hands, police said. Ha, that chick brought rocks to a taser fight, what an idiot. And also, am I gonna get arrested for possession of of a sniffing substance for this can of gasoline? Because, sorry coppers, that ain’t happening! *glug glug glug glug glug* Transform and 7×7 is 35! Tasered ‘Petrol-Sniffer’ Bursts Into Flames [yahoonews] Thanks to Thumperchica, Justin, Jon, Stephen and Ptentacle, who wanted to roast marshmallows on him.
This is a stop motion video of a F/A-18 Super Hornet jet being built. And let me just say, wow, that thing must have over 100 different pieces. Making it nearly twice as complicated as the hardest LEGO set I’ve built. Constructing A Super Hornet: “A time lapse of the construction of a Super Hornet” [liveleak] Thanks to Spy, who may or may not have secretly recorded this footage with a bowtie cam.
We’ve already seen a Master Chief Transformer here on Geekologie, but quite frankly — can I call you Frank? No? Well surely — ooooh, I like that, can I call you Shirley? And, I dunno, maybe you could do your hair up in pigtails and wear one of those 50’s poodle skirts? YOW YOW! Well, you think about it. 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. I’ve had fun building this, and hope you enjoy it as well. Hey, not bad. One time I tried to make my own Transformer out of different toys but I got frustrated and just ended up gluing one of my sister’s Barbie heads on a G.I. Joe. “Hawk, your new hair is so soft, I want to comb it.” “Hawk don’t play that sissy shit, boy.” “Oh Hawk, you remember your buddy Snake Eyes? Remember what happened with the hair spray and matches?” “Make me pretty, boy!” Hit the jump for some more pictures and a link to the auction.
