Seibertron.com has just received word from Core Gear rep, Susan Wile, that the Xip3 Transforming Jacket is now on sale. Seibertronians may remember way back when the Transformers Club held an exclusive contest for the triple changing outerwear.

Here's what Susan had to share about this unique garment:

Hello,

My company is currently running a massive sale on our award winning, convertible TRANSFORMERS jackets (the jacket turns into a backpack and also into a pillow). Each jacket is individually numbered in a limited edition. Steven Spielberg owns #1 and Michael Bay owns #2. These jackets originally retailed for $495 and are now $95.

Please go to our website http://www.xip3.com and click the link to the store. These jackets are collector's items of very high quality and would never be sold at a Target or a WalMart.










So there you have it Seibertronians. Even your clothing can transform now. View the listing for this jacket here.

Oberphones Presents "Hommage à Skywarp"

Design writer Christopher Wilson has just sent us information on a unique piece of art that's now available. This new work is a tribute to one of the original Transformers seekers, Skywarp.





Hommage à Skywarp is a new poster-broadsheet designed and published by Oberphones in tribute to Skywarp, one of the first Transformers issued by Hasbro in 1984. The homage takes the form of an A4-format broadsheet which folds out into an A2-format (420 x 594 mm) poster. The broadsheet (plane form) side includes a series of four specially-written texts by design writer Christopher Wilson, exploring the cultural background of his purchase of Skywarp in early 1985 and the state of department store culture at the time; Skywarp's standing among his rivals in the Transformers range; and finally an anecdote of Skywarp's 'tech spec' characteristics. The poster (robot form) side comprises a graphic portrait of the Decepticon, based on the silhouette of the 1984 box illustration, and incorporating new photographs of the original model.

Hommage à Skywarp is now available for purchase at a low cost of £10.00 with free postage and handling for shipping within the UK. Check out the original listing for this art piece here.
