Beeline Creative, via their Instagram account, have revealed our first teaser image of a new officially licensed Transformers Geeki Tikis (Tiki Mugs).
The image show an original Tiki Mug sculpted in G1 Optimus Prime style. A very original merchandise for sure. We still have no concrete information on price or release date, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates.
This is another Transformers Tiki Mug in the market following the G1 Grimlock Tiki Mug by Mondo revealed some time ago.

Now available for preorder on Mondo’s site $60 Grimlock tiki
“We all know there's one thing that every Autobot craves after a long day of kicking Decepticon tailpipe: A DRINK. Thank Unicron that the galaxy's most endearing Dinobot — Grimlock, duh — is now available as the first-ever Transformers tiki mug!
Standing roughly 6.5" high, weighing 1lb 7oz, and holding 18 oz of motor oil (or any other liquid of your choice), this techno-tyranno-tiki was brought to life by artists Ken Christiansen, Aaron White, Brian Oskins and our friends at Tiki Farm, and is a powerfully prehistronic addition to your/our tiki collection.”

Tiki drinks made well are not super sugary and are actually quite potent– there's an old Barbadian rhyme to get the balance right: "One of Sour, Two of Sweet, Three of Strong, Four of Weak." Stick to that, and you're in for a good time.
But yeah, tiki drinks from non-tiki bars are often full of grenadine and other sickly sweet syrups that kinda ruin the experience.

There's a couple near me in Detroit that are pretty fun, but I'm still pretty weak to liquor (and don't take sugar too well) so I can only have, like, one before I need a beer or a glass of water or something

Grimlock looks adorable! I will probably by two(one to use and one for display xD)

In all honesty Ive never been to a Tiki bar. I dont even think they exist in my city. Sounds more like something more likely to find in Disney World or on the west coast of the US.

TBF most tiki mugs are designed for those ridiculously sugary and potent mixed drinks you see at goofy tiki bars. I'm not usually a fan, but I don't know if I'd turn down the opportunity to hit a Singapore Sling or a Mai Tai out of my old friends Optimus and Grimlock.

Drinking beer out of a straw will get you wasted quick. Those tiki guys must know what they are doing, lol.

Actually this would be pretty interesting to have if its cheap it seems like I would just pick it up and use it as novelty but I don't know where they would possibly selling them.

Looks to be straw-only! Kind of annoying, but quite a few tiki mugs end up that way because of the design.

How are you supposed to drink out of the grimlock mug ?

I am curious about this mug.

Nice! I have an Optimus mug but it’s a pain to drink from, this looks more user friendly.
