With the confirmation of a Transformers 2 sequel, ExstreamMac has inked a deal to create a special edition iPhone hard case that will be released in tandem with a short run, special edition, numbered series of bendable Transformers action figures. Both items will be sold only as a set, released sometime this summer close to the launch of iPhone 2 scheduled for the end of June. This makes sense since June 29th marks the one year anniversary of the original iPhone launch.
"We are so excited to pair our Extsream iPhone hard case with Transformers 2," said Neil Harden Director of Marketing for ExtsreamMac, "Even though Transformers 2 will not reach theaters until June of 2009, it's never to early to start the hype. We expect to sell out in a matter of hours."
Harden was unable to confirm the production quantity of action figures or what price point would be set at retail. Though he did disclose that each iPhone hard case would be fully waterproof, stomp resistant and could potentially deflect a small caliber bullet fired at long range. A feature that many rap artists have requested of case makers since the launch of iPhone. The case will contain a removable money clip and be offered in blood red, jetta black and nearly clear.
According to Harden, this unique offer will be impossible for hard core Transformer nerds to resist. Though he did admit some might be able to resist, buts it's highly unlikely. "These fans are totally predicable," said Harden, "That's why Paramount is doing a sequel."
I'm a fan who saw the sequel as Paramount expected. It was really cool. But I do admit I'm a mindless follower.

Was this just a hoax... An insulting one, to TF fans?
