Transformers 2 Toys Hit on May 29th
Um…that’s it, really. Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen toys will be put out on toy store shelves on May 29th, 2009, before the film’s June 26th release. This will include the new Optimus Prime toy shown above, which looks more like a robot that transforms into a truck than he did in the first movie, which I say is A Good Thing. And…uh, that’s it. Really. Mark your calendars accordingly and then go about your business. (Via Seibertron)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
