Inspired by Darren Rawlins, Our Favourite Retro Cars Transformed!
Howdy TruffleShufflers! This week we found a cracking little Tumblr page from the very talented Darren Rawlins. Heâs done a series of cartoons that takes the cars from some iconic retro shows and imagines what theyâd 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, itâs a TruffleShuffle favourite, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesâ 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. Itâs 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 Burtonâs 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 Burtonâs incarnation famously included grappling hooks to scale walls, a bulletproof finish and one stonking great afterburner at the back. That makes for one pretty terrifying Transformer if you ask us, letâs hope heâs not a Decepticon...
00s Classic Mean Girls Turns 10 Years Old!
Can you believe it!
Just like your friends younger brother or sister, the moment you're told how old they are now you're just in total disbelief! In your mind they're still the fresh faced, innocent little ones who will believe anything you tell them like "if the wind changes your face will stay like that!". Now they're the big kids of the school, beating you at all their video games and studying for exams! Scary!
Well, as much of a shock as all this can be, the iconic 00's cult classic, super-quotable chick flick Mean Girls this week will be blowing out a whopping ten candles on it's birthday cake!
Yep this fab film that brought us 'So Fetch' and 'Boo, you whore!' first premiered on the 19th March 2004! God to we feel old now!
To celebrate, check out some of our top Mean Girls GIF images that help capture some top movie moments. Enjoy!
