If you were a kid growing up in the 80's there would be a few things that you hold close to your heart. One of them would be The Transformers. Especially the old school Transformers ... you know the original ones that had at least some metal in them. Not like the new candy coloured ones made completely from plastic.

But ... although the new ones are all plastic unfantastic, Takara are innovating in other ways. They into the crossover thing in a big way. I mean they've done a WRX Transformer, Viper, and even a Pepsi holding Optimus one.

But now they have topped themselves ... they've teamed up with Nike to do ones that change into Nike Free runners. Nuts!! Gotta love the japanese ... I mean wtf would you be thinking to do a robot that turns into a sneaker?? They must be drinking some weird brew of Sapporo back in the motherland.

And the best thing is ... the robots are even wearing Nike shoes themselves!
