“More than meets the eye” always brought to mind a gravelly robotic voice and various forms of vehicles racing across the screen at around six on a Saturday morning, right? Not anymore. In the newest addition to the designer toy craze, promoters from the Transformers movie have teamed up with none other than Nike to create a limited edition series of Autobots and Decepticons.

Each robot in the series transforms from a specifically designed color scheme of the Nike Free 7.0. So far two of these gems have been released, complete with their own Nike styled shoe box: Megatron, in shades of black and Optimus Prime, in red, white, and blue. The latest is Marine Convoy, in blue and grey. He is slated for a September release as a limited edition, so grab one early if and when you see it. I know Transformers never looked this good when I was a kid!

The robot is cool, but how much fun is it to play with a toy shoe? I thought the point of Transformers were that they were fun to play with in both transformation modes. Everyone likes playing with a robot and a gun or car or truck or plane or dinosaur or insect, but a shoe? That’s not fun. It is like that scene in the Tom Hanks movie ‘Big’ where he is trying to figure out the skyscraper transformer. The robot is fun, but who wants to play with a building?
