Guy Makes a Giant-sized Soundwave Boombox

Everyone has their favorite Transformers from the original animated series. For some it’s Optimus Prime, for others it’s Bumblebee or Grimlock, but for many Soundwave is the best Transformer ever. For those fans, this custom Soundwave-shaped boombox is everything.

So what genius made this geek masterpiece? That would be Bob from the YouTube channel I Like To Make Stuff. He makes all kinds of cool stuff so that the rest of us can be inspired. To create this awesome boombox, he used a combination of MDF for the speaker’s housing, foam for the buttons and other non-functional details, and there is also a pair of Bluetooth speakers hidden inside.

Okay, technically Soundwave wasn’t a boombox, but maybe he should have been. It was the ’80s after all. Sadly this thing doesn’t transform, but that’s okay. It is completely awesome just the way it is. It is a non-transformer that will blast tunes wirelessly streamed from your smartphone. Especially if those tunes are from any of the Transformers soundtracks.

Bob really did some great work on this, and all of the details are just perfect. Now if he can just make it transform, it would be absolutely perfect. Get on that Bob.

After Math: Hello Darkness, my old friend

Well, this week lasted years. While we weren't being bludgeoned by the cantankerous Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, we were learning about how 50 million Facebook users had their accounts hacked, that Elon Musk is being sued by the SEC for his Twitt...

Bob Ross Waffle Maker Could Double as Ronald McDonald Waffle Maker

We’ve got Bob Ross POP! Figures, a toaster that will burn the painter’s image onto your bread and now, I present to you the Bob Ross face waffle maker. That’s right, now you can make waffles in the shape of Bob Ross’ head. I think we might be at peak Bob Ross right now. At least I hope so because this is getting ridiculous.

This electric waffle maker will cost you $40. It makes waffles that look a bit like the famous painter if he was made of flour and sugar. I gotta say, the waffles it produces look more like an angry clown to me. Like Ronald McDonald being tortured. So I’m calling any meal you make with this thing an unhappy meal.

How could you eat this? I would be terrified with every bite. It just looks like it is in complete agony. Like you have just cooked his very soul and trapped it in a waffle after he saw a bunch of happy little trees get cut down. I don’t want to look at that face as I eat. As it is, I’m off waffles for a while after seeing this thing. I just can’t.

I’m sorry Bob. You deserve so much better.
