As we’ve learned in the past, a lack of badass technology made the 19th century especially difficult for Transformers. Thankfully, Optimus made it through with copper flare, a stovepipe hat and the ability to transform into a locomotive, earning him a badge of eternal cool instead of an awkward history as a Conestoga wagon.

Optimus Prime, T-Rex using a high-five aid, an explosion—this may be the greatest or most regrettable tattoo of all-time. Pip Foweraker isn’t concerned about the consequences of his first tattoo though. His philosophy:
…the best solution would be to get a tattoo so over-the-top awesome, and filled with personal meaning and satisfaction, that it would be literally impossible for me to ever regret getting it.
Check out his full argument in the link below. It’s actually pretty solid—makes me want to get a tattoo of Chuck Norris and Betty White bare-knuckle boxing.

A t-shirt tribute to Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime. He’s also voiced a number of other memorable characters including Ironhide in the original Transformer TV series and Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh. He’s also served as the narrator in the American Voltron series.
Seriously, I go to YouTube every now and then just to watch him talk.

You can get this humorous Transformers / Star Wars mashup as a print and skins for the iPhone, iPad and laptop—but no t-shirt? Hopefully this grievous error will be remedied soon.
If you say “a succulent turkey” you are way too pumped about Thanksgiving dinner. I see Optimus Prime for sure, but I also see another robotic alien with three vertical eyes/mouths and light-up nipples. I guess I’m a little woozy from hunger as well.
Voting for this shirt recently ended on Threadless. With any luck it did well enough to go to print.

When it comes to robots, reincarnation isn’t a belief, it’s a fact. Despite illustrious careers, some of our favorite robots have been reincarnated/recyled as cheap dryers, coffee pots and rug steamers.
