You may have heard of Final Fantasy XIII's version of Shiva by now. The classic FF summon now turns into a motorbike by being two flamboyant women who kind of scissor each other to become a motorcycle. I really want to call it a "Motordyke," but I fear that would be offensive to lesbian gamers, for whom I have nothing but sincere respect. Still, that's the best pun you'll read this morning.
As you can see from the above image, Shiva's "Gestalt" mode takes the idea of the Transformer and does something ... confusing ... with it. Quite how either of those two women are enjoying this situation is beyond me, but as you can see, at least one of them has a smile on her face. I don't know about the other poor girl, since the's the unlucky lady who has to stare at that guy's arse all day.
Square Enix is known for its outrageous character designs, but this scissor sister motorbike has to be among their most ludicrous. Now I want to ride it.

However, I fucking want that bike. Or that bike wants a fucking. Either way, I approve.
my mind is blown.
Shiva's always been that summon you look at and wonder if summons ever get lonely, but I guess this answers that.
Still, my ideal three-way is totally with a motorcycle, so I'm jealous.
You couldn't be more right. I think I'm done with Final Fantasy now.
Still she looks hawt.
*crosses fingers for not image fail*
i have a serious case of FF fanboyism? and even I think this is a little strange...
the shiva bike was cool before, now it's like, awkward, did any say that during the design process?
has anyone at squeee watched porn? i mean really this one's so easy
face in crotch, face in butt
it's like a weird kama sutra...shiva sutra....O_o
although good call on the golden boy reference! haha thats exactly what i thought
And, I still do. This bike rocks.
Hey pussy! You got a bit of chocobo on your motordyke!
Behold, for you, too, can has Shivaz in 'toy' form.
Thank you Mr. Sterling I was having a shitty day and this made me really laugh
(Don't tell me for a second you wouldn't!)
Motordyke wins the meme of the day, btw. Well done, sir.
@Niero: I believe it and would NOT doubt it.
I want my virgin bikes again...
I think they're doing this to see how far cosplayers will go
I sure hope so.
The motordyke kind of reminds me of that bike they had on South Park, but the opposite. Instead of the bike violating you, you violate the bike. And it likes it.
(To be fair, though, this is pretty ridiculous design even for Squeenix. Probably won't stop me from buying it, but jeez.)
