So what's cooler for '80s geeks than a Lego (http://www.engadget.com/tag/lego/) set, a Game Boy (http://www.engadget.com/tag/gameboy/) or a Transformers (http://www.engadget.com/tag/transformers/) robot? Why, a Lego Game Boy Transformer, of course. At least, that's the idea behind the latest pièce de résistance from building-block lover Julius von Brunk, who not only got the touch but also got the power to create his very own Game Boy-inspired Lego Transformer. The "Domaster" -- no relation to the exercise machine for perky thighs -- borrows heavily from fan favorite Soundwave and even features a Tetris cartridge that transforms into a little birdie that looks like Laserbeak. Two fake AA batteries double as blaster cannons so folks can mutter "pew-pew" at pictures of Michael Bay and Shia LaBeouf. Yes, it isn't as big as China's Optimus Prime (http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/chinese-make-optimus-prime-out-of-junk-garbage-pail-megan-fox-s/) and it can't play Super Nintendo games like this Game Boy costume (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/31/your-geekiest-halloween-costumes/). On the plus side, at least this thing won't ruin your precious childhood memories.
