You can turn your Avatar into a cyborg starting tomorrow photo

I know a passionate group of individuals were waiting on those Transmorphers-themed Avatar items to come out, but I think you'll have to settle for this Transformers merch instead. Sorry, boys. Today is not your day, unfortunately.

In celebration of Thanksgiving -- because honestly, when I think of large quantities of food going into my system, naturally shape-shifting robots come to mind -- Transformers Avatar accessories will be up for purchase.

The Megatron, Optimus Prime, and BumbleBee (why?) helmets are 240 Microsoft Points each, while the male Transformers logo shirt, three Decepticons shirts, and three Autobots shirts are 80 MS Points a pop.

I'm usually quick to mock these virtual items, but that Optimus Prime helmet is sort of sweet. Even so, I shall resist!

The Bay-Megatron (That is how the new shit is known to me) helmet looks like a cute monkey/gorilla mask.

I won't be buying anything until SE starts trotting out Final Fantasy -related stuff. It's sad that I wouldn't even be a bit ashamed to buy a tiny little chocobo to run around my avatar's feet.

No Starscream, no buy.

Side note, the Christmas decorations in Red Bay, Alabama (drove through on my way home) are this red geometric design that kind of looks like if Optimus Prime and Magneto had a baby.

Personally I'm more excited for the Fallout items, being a fan of the series I'll feel like a sellout or something for buying them, but at the same time I will feel prepared for the wasteland. Too bad it's only Vault 101, a Vault 13 suit would have been sweet.

@HEL105: You are aware that they are GIVING away a Chocobo prop for your Avatar as I type? All you have to do is register for the FF XIII Tweet and Register thing, just look at Dtoids front page stories.

Sorry for the double post, didn't notice HEL begging for a Chocobo until after I commented.

Bah, Michael Bay can eat a dick for ruining Transformers.

Give me a "The Touch" shirt, then we're good.

Thanks, I didn't know about that. I must have overlooked the article.

Shape-shifting robots come to my mind no matter what I'm doing, so it's not all that unreasonable.

I'd love the Prime one if it looked halfway decent.

For the first time ever, I might buy avatar items... if they were G1 related. But they're not, they're shitty Bayformer masks, so pass.

Fuck that, I want to turn my avatar into a Gundam. Also, it will shoot lasers and kill other avatars.
