iPod transformer?
Imagine an iPod-shaped transformer that kicked butt and took no prisoners. That treat might await us in the upcoming Transformers movie according to iLounge. A 12-inch iPod supposedly turns into a "little killing machine", presumably scaring an entire generation away from MP3 players. Ethical considerations aside, that's a nice boost power-wise from merely damaging hearing when using unwise volume control. As for the picture here? It's the other kind of iPod transformer.

12 inch iPod? That must be the hi-def version.

i saw the headline in the rss feed, and was like "sweet". then i saw the picture in the article and got all disappointed, "oh, that kind of transformer". then i started reading the article anyway, and it really is what i thought.
i wonder if they'll make a movie tie-in toy version? if it looks like an actual ipod in the movie though, they'll probably have to change the look of it to avoid upsetting apple's lawyers.

Perhaps the transforming iPod will only target Zune users for death and destruction?

Who's to say it's not product placement arranged BY Apple's lawyers?
