With Christmas a mere 140 days away, it’s never too early to start decorating that tree that a percentage of individuals still haven’t taken down! After all, why put the tree back up when you can never take it down! And now you can celebrate the holidays early by having the movie version of Optimus Prime and Megatron duking it out in your tree!
Brought to you by Long Island Treasures, this Christmas ornament features the movie versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron looking like it’s time to have a throw-down. To make it even cooler, there’s a button you can push to hear a clip from the movie.
For those of you who prefer a more bland news post:
Long Island Treasures lists a pre-order for 2010 Transformers Christmas ornament, complete with sound clip from the movie, for $24.00.
What better way to show your Christmas cheer by having this ornament hanging from your tree as you discover all you got for Christmas was all those Powercore Combiners you didn’t want in the first place.

Way to take a piece of crap ornament, jam a hook in the top, and call it 'festive'
Would probably topple my tree instantly.
Humour in the news is fine, even welcomed. Though it would help if it was actually funny.

I prefer the fuzzy news posts to the plain and drab ones
As for the ornaments, I would pick up the Prime one in a heart-beat.. I have a Xmas tree that is for TF's ornaments only..could always use a couple more

Kickback, don't you stop doing what you do.
And erm, christmas tree decoration…
Thanks. But no thanks.

Yeah, but Ramadan isn't a December holiday; it can occur in any Gregorian month(s). In fact, it starts next week. It moves 11 days earlier each year since it's based in a lunar cycle calendar.

I like the humor in the news. Keeps things light hearted, as they should be. We all have personal stresses and shit to deal with, and we have TFs in whatever capacity you are involved as an escape, a way to download and get away from reality. Why people get so pissy about it escapes me.

No you wont. I have never seen people bitch so much. How bout just don't buy it.

And ya know what they say about people with big hands…
They have big feet! (Granted, we don't see his feet.)

I have to admit … I have never read Destructoid. But thanks for saying I'm trying hard to be like something I've never read. Then again, this is coming from the guy that said I was being a horrible friend for poking fun of Tim Formas when I announced he got married years ago – even though I attended the wedding and Tim thought the post was actually funny.
I have my style of posting news. I don't always post news (in fact, this is the most I've posted news in probably the last 5 years) so when I do, I like to have fun with it. But it just speaks so loudly of this "fandom" when rather than discussing the news, they'd rather discuss how the news was written.
Oi vey.
Recall
Yes because Destrcoid is the only place on the entire internet that adds humour to their news.
Hey, if it offends you guess what, don't read it. If a grown man takes a joke so personal than clearly something is wrong

I wonder what the sound clip says. Probably something along the lines of "Give me your…" followed by inserted holiday. Examples are:
"Give me your Kwanzaa!!!!"
"Give me your Ramadan!!!!"
"Give me your Hanukkah!!!!"
"Give me your Winter Solstice!!!!"
Oh, I come for the information, and I stay for the funny. Because it's the internet.

Other members of staff should do the same. It obviously increases forum participation.
Plus, it is quite funny. There's nothing funnier than self-parody.

UGLY! Almost as ridiculous as the ornament I saw 2 or 3 years ago of Venom wrapping tendrils around a struggling Spider-Man. My first thought was… "WTFrikkinF is that an ornament?"
Seriously, I see this on ANYONE'S xmas tree, I am ripping it off and throwing it away!

Megatron's hand is HUGE.

Capitalismas at it's finest.

There is a difference between being funny and just trying to be like Destructoid. I'm calling out that it doesn't tip far enough in the "funny" direction to make it worth while, and its out of place when no one else on staff does the same.
That is my perspective.

wow,that megatron looks better than the leader class XD

FUGLY
and before post 30 we have TFTM sucks and TFW isn't serious business. Epic.
Sage o’ G-fruit
Because christmas ornaments based on a crappy movie starring transforming space robots based on a toyline for kids made up entirely of aforementioned transforming space robots is serious business.
Seriously guys, get some perspective.
Shatterpoint
I'll be dissapointed if the sound clip isn't " Give me you face !"

kickback you're not taking transformers serious enough – and i like it
