In honor of the 30th anniversary of the 1986 Transformers Movie, Primitive Skateboarding has teamed up with Hasbro to homage the beloved film with a series of skate decks! Each skate deck has a part of an impressive mural that is formed when all skate decks are set next to each other, and the piece features Shockwave, Soundwave, Starscream, Megatron, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, and a new fictional Autobot named VX, each of which are featured on their own skate deck. In addition to skateboards, they’ve also produced some grip tape, buttons, etc. featuring parts of the art depicted on the skateboards themselves.
You can check out the catalog here and be sure to check out the pics we’ve mirrored after the jump!

This is a perfect confluence of things I loved in eighth grade, and I won't say I don't want the Hot Rod one a little bit. Also VX looks sick, who do I have to talk to to get a VX toy?

Not bad.

I'd get one and test my muscle-memory, but I'd probably end up in the emergency room. Fraffs and velvet-platinum wouldn't like that.
They're fresh though. I definitely would've bought one when I used to skate.

so cool i want them all for a wall display but $500 fook that ! even if the exchange rate was good at the moment that would be harsh

I think that the skateboards look unappealing when viewed individually. Lots of awkwardly positioned body parts of other characters. But when pieced together, yeah it becomes cohesive.

Primitive Skateboards—featuring some of the best Skateboarders on the scene—teamed up with Hasbro for their new Team line-up to hommage the 30th Anniversary of the Transformers Movie.
All 8 Skateboards together form a stunning G1 scene feat. Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream, Soundwave, Shockwave as well as a new fictional character named VX Prime, as stated on their fb site:
»The VX1000 is undoubtedly the most celebrated piece of machinery in skateboarding, so when we teamed up with Hasbro to create a line of skateboards in honor of the 30th Anniversary of "TheTransformers – The Movie", it only seemed right to pay the VX homage when we were given the chance to introduce our own Transformer to the line up.
