Howdy TruffleShufflers! This week we found a cracking little Tumblr page from the very talented Darren Rawlins. He’s done a series of cartoons that takes the cars from some iconic retro shows and imagines what they’d look like as TRANSFORMERS!

Have a look at his work here.... darrenrawlings.tumblr.com whilst we run down our Top 5 Transformers from Retro Shows Inspired by Darren Rawlins!

1) First up, it’s a TruffleShuffle favourite, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Party Wagon! Built by Donatello, this awesome van came with all kinds of handy accessories, including missiles, breakaway doors, a radio broadcaster and parts of it could even be used as a ramp to get the Turtles out of trouble! We think the Transformer version would be pretty badass, especially if it had a few karate lessons from Splinter!

2) In a close second, we just had to pick the Batmobile. It’s been through dozens of crazy incarnations and hosted a vast array of mental weaponry but Darren has opted for the red-detailed one from the 60s TV show and Tim Burton’s sleek 1989 entry. Now, the TV show Batmobile displayed more gadgets than you can shake a batarang at in its 2 year run on our screens, but Burton’s incarnation famously included grappling hooks to scale walls, a bulletproof finish and one stonking great afterburner at the back.

We've recently been getting obsessed with Tumblr, which is a social networking site that lets you share cool photos, videos and links.  It's a little bit like Twitter but with more of an emphasis on pictures, and we love it!  If you've never heard of it now's the perfect time to have a look, and what better place to start than with our freshly updated TruffleShuffle Tumblr page!

We particularly love blogging with Tumblr because it's so simple and easy to keep it updated with new posts.  From fab new clothing and gifts we've just added to the site, as well as tons of cool stuff that's caught our eye, made us laugh or kept us inspired.  Also because we've got everyone in the office adding posts it's a real melting pot of great imagery so there's bound to be something you'll have fun looking at!

One of our favourite recent posts was about the artist Jason Freeny who gave some of our Truffle favourites an anatomical makeover, kinda creepy but very cool!

So if we've convinced you to give Tumblr a try, give us a 'follow', we'd 'like' it very much!  TruffleShuffleTumblr
