Master Chief Transformer, maximize!

by Dustin Burg { Jan 12th 2008 at 6:00PM }

We can think of nothing more enjoyable than the sheer awesomeness of Halo 3 and everyone's favorite Spartan, Master Chief. Then again, we can also think of nothing better than our childhood memories of transforming and playing with our old-school Transformers toys. And now we can have both.

Friendly eBay seller digitalworld40 skillfully crafted a custom transforming toy that blends our obsessive love of everything Master Chief with our nostalgic addiction of Transformers into one toy. Meet the Master Chief Transformer! This custom toy is an APC 117 Transformer who is artfully decorated to look like Master Chief when "maximized". Do we love it? Yes. Do we want it? Yes. Can we have it? Eh, probably not. The $200 price tag would force us to eat nothing but Macaroni & Cheese for the entire month of February. Then again, Mac & Cheese isn't all that bad ...

Wow. That looks retarded.

Yeah...as one of the resident toy guys that haunt the site, I gotta say that toy sucks. Not only is the Spartan armor totally wrong, but it's a Star Wars prequel Transformer. (and as a Star Wars fan, let me say it's a crappy vehicle too..)
It's a nice start? Maybe? But the seller should really try his hand at actually creating a Spartan that transforms into a Warthog.

I wonder who's going to be first to sue this guy for IP infringement - Bungie, Microsoft or Hasbro.

er...Optimus Prime and the gang!?

So sick of Halo bullshit on this site.

Teabag @ Jan 12th 2008 10:45PM

Agreed. But then again...it's blog not a full fledged gaming website like GS or IGN.

JakubK666 @ Jan 13th 2008 8:21AM

Yeah , and I'm so sick of all this Microsoft/Xbox related bullshit.

LOLOLOLOL

That might be cool if it transformed into something that had anything at all to do with Halo.

Kamal @ Jan 12th 2008 10:19PM

BLASPHEMY!!!

Teabag @ Jan 12th 2008 10:46PM

Did the comment about this site having loads of Halo 3 bullshit got deleted? I made a reply to it!

Don't worry, your arrogance was preserved.

Master Chief Transform and ROLL OU....... never mind.

In all honesty, if the wheels were detachable, it wouldn't look so terrible. But at 200 dollars, it better include a reach-around from Elita One.

Jedijoe9 @ Jan 13th 2008 2:01PM

I'm going to go against the current here and say I really like it. It's not perfect, but it's definitely got appeal to me. Now $200.00? Maybe 15 or 20, but no way for 200 bucks.

Odie @ Jan 14th 2008 1:30AM

I'd definitely be interested, even for $200, if he became a Warthog or Mongoose. The wheels are tacky but there would be less if it were a Warthog or Mongoose. Good beginning and attempt but could use some tweaking before trying to sell. If it were an actual auction and the above physical characteristics were met, I know the seller could get a lot more than $200 for such an item.
