There was a time when "Transformers" was so much more than a crappy, unwatchable Michael Bay hackjob. In addition to being a comic book and cartoon, it was an unstoppable merchandising juggernaut. Now, despite Bay's efforts, "Transformers" continues to spread its brand in a variety of formats, including Nike sneaks.

The shoes, sadly, do not turn into menacing robots, but Walyou reports that at least three different models, ranging between $100 and $200, will have packaging designed like the original toys, including the fake spectral technical readout on each bot's strengths.

Like with all the toys we mangled back in the day, we wish we'd held onto our Transformers. Just two years ago a widow sold off her husband's complete original Transformer toys for a cool million. (Yes, there are some rich geeks out there.)
