I love that shirt actually out of this bunch. The others are nice too, but the Quintess-o's is probably the best one I feel.

I just like that Grimlock is drawn with toy-accuracy which I always preferred to his goofy animation model.

Is the last one a reference to something too?
If so, to what?

That is one dangerous cereal!

Holy shirt that UniCRON one. I just need to figure out if I'm buying the tee and the hoodie or just one or the other.

This one's pretty good too, as a celebration of the 30th of TF:TM!!


Or this!

Are these officially licensed?

I don't think try are. Look at hot rods autobot symbol.

that said I ordered the Quintess-o's in a heartbeat. You can't beat a graphic T for only $11

halfshell25 wrote:Are these officially licensed?

Not that I am aware of.

To be honest I don't care!
But they look amazing! Specially the cereal one

I want these way more than I should.

I showed a buddy of mine and he knows a lot about them and told me their name says it all. their model is they make a shirt, take it down in 48 hours so they avoid cease and desists orders.

I would say that the daily sale cycle is done in such a way as to get the utmost efficiency out of the screen print process and maximize the potential sales within a 24 hour period and then pay the artist who made it a large commission on their unique work, more so than to avoid any sort of infringement problems. These designs are all parodies of various source material and gives people an alternative way to share their love for their fandom. But that's just me /kermit

The Quintess-O shirt is pretty good, as is CRON. The Grimlock/Wheelie and the Turtles? Kinda lame.

Ordered the UniCRON tee, and a Arus Lions baseball tee. I missed out on the Cybertron Space Camp one though, which makes me sad.

I ordered the Quintess-O's shirt last night, and I was able to snag the "Visit Unicron" and "Believe in the Cosmos" shirts from their store a week or so ago. The Unicron one is fantastic, and I've gotten several remarks about it when I went comics shopping.

Terms like "parody", "satire", and "fair use" come to mind, actually. Ever heard of Big Dog? Quality aside (thinking of Big Dog again, for clarity), the guidelines for avoiding actual infringement on this stuff is fairly well defined, and any company worth their salt doing this kind of work has certainly looked into it.

Just thought everyone would like to know ript has 3 transformer inspired shirts today.

I saw it, ordered the capped-megatron shirt

While the products are not officially licensed, the team at RIPT Apparel have been nice enough to let some of us on staff contribute to one of the currently available Transformers t-shirt designs (for the next 24 hours only) - and several Seibertronians have sent us notifications about them, so here's a news post: check out the two musical riffs, and a movie spoof below!

Saw this in my email earlier as well. All three are great, not a bad one in the group.

I don't know what surprises me more about that "My Mechanical Romance" t-shirt: that there's an IDW fan submitting designs to Ript (most of the TF shirts tend to be cartoon based), or that someone at Ript got the reference enough to promote the design.

..want to know a secret? The owner/founder of Ript is a big IDW fan. And you've probably all heard from him before, if you follow the podcasts.

OMG IDW merchandise I am so there!


(And the orange cap one is hilarious )

The USE shirt is awesome. RIPT is killing my wallet. I still haven't worn one of the 3 shirts I bought for the movies 30th anniversary. Not to mention my wolverine evolution and Spider-Gwen shirts.

Definitely amused with this design:



It is literally the best thing ever and super comical.

... But, they misspelled "Conjunx."

That is a massive shame, I have to agree... though as a massive MTMTE fan myself I've gotta admit that for whatever reason, Conjunx always seems to be word I barely ever spell right. It's a weird one.

Still... doesn't detract from the fact that I'm pretty sure this is the first official MTMTE-inspired t-shirt there's ever been, and it's a friggin' amazing one.

They fixed the spelling on CONJUNX. The site detail page has been updated.

Yay!

Glarryg

heck yeah

For real though folks: if you want more MTMTE inspired product like this in the future, this is a great way to say so with dollars.

I would pick this up as soon as my money comes in Monday... but I don't know if they ship to the UK, and if they do what their shipping prices are

Since I just saw these were only up for 24 hours I decided to just bite the bullet right away.

Turns out they do ship to the UK for a modest fee of $4.50. That plus the actual cost of the t-shirt comes to £11.68, so I'm glad I had that emergency money in the bank

love the symphony of deception t shirt i hope more megadeth references will come

Just purchased the My Mechanical Romance T-Shirt. I don't personally listen to My Chemical Romance but the shirt is so cool looking and I love Chromedome and Rewind in the IDW comics so I had to buy it. And for 14 bucks shipped it's a pretty good deal.

While I don't think that I will buy any, these all look AWESOME! Especially the "My Mechanical Romance" one...I would love some more IDW shirts...anything with MTMTE Brainstorm, Nautica, Megatron, Ravage, Rung, Whirl, Swerve, Nightbeat, The Scavengers, or even Tarn I would buy immediately.

Official. Yeah, about that...

Some really cool news today from the T-shirt company RIPT Apparel: they've got another Transformers-inspired design! Called "The Beetle", it shows Bumblebee crossing a road in various states of transformation, evoking the classic Beatles Abbey Road cover. This of course falls at a perfect time, as the 53rd anniversary of the Beatles performing on The Ed Sullivan show here in the states for the first time was the day before yesterday!
This shirt is only available for just under 13 hours right now, so jump on over and grab one while you can. You can also get a framed version, coasters, hoodies, tank tops, and kids shirts all with the print. Check out some photos below!

I believe this is exclusive to their site as well!

Hah. This pleases me immensely.

Cool. Seems based of the MP.

Probably ideal for fans of G1 Bee and The Beatles. So not for me then (I always did like George Harrison thougb but can't tolerate McCartney and his often seemingly never ending renditions of Hey Jude)

Try being in a family where that is played EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, because your family members are big McCartney fans

No singalong of the Beatles' most overrated #1 hits is complete without "Yesterday". Glad to have given your family these bright new ideas.

That was played at my brother's wedding.

Download as in make them show on the page? The images seem to working fine all on devices I just checked - is this another region thing, I wonder.

I meant that although I can see it, I can't download the image. If a long click it, the download option happens but it just hangs there, never downloading. Other images work though.
