Some geeky mashups are just unexpected. I’d suggest that an Optimus Prime amigurumi is one such treat. Crochet robots in disguise? It’s Voxmortuum’s who now a worldwide geek hero and I can only imagine their Flickr account is enjoying a healthy dose of visitors.

Embarrassed Hasbro pulls the plug on “Spastic” Transformer
Hasbro has decided to withdraw sale of a Power Core Combiners Transformer called Spastic.

It’s really quite […]
