eBay Gets "Transformed" - Check out the homepage and contest

As most of you probably noticed already, the eBay homepage has been taken over by Transformers. In fact if you didn't notice there is a good chance that Megatron ripped out your optics (I'm starting with the Transformers: The Movie references right away).

If you are unfamiliar with the Transformers, I would usually shun you, but I'm in an especially good mood today after eBay managed to get us into a special screening of the new movie last night, so I will be extra nice and give you a break if that is the case. 

There are a bunch of robots on a faraway planet.  The nice ones are Autobots, the bad ones are Decepticons, and they are fighting over energy.  They end up on Earth and are able to disguise themselves by transforming into Earth vehicles.  This is the latest version and it was a lot of fun...but I don't think anything can ever replace the animated classic from 1984. 

Well to coincide with the upcoming release of the special effects extravaganza, eBay's home page has been transformed to a special Transformers theme.  We also have a special Transformers page (transformers.ebay.com) with the soothing sounds of Optimus Prime (voiced by the original actor, Peter Cullen), vintage transformers noises (I couldn't come close to spelling them phonetically), games, contests, and more.  While you are there be sure to vote on the Transform Your World video contest.  There are great member videos describing how eBay has helped to change....I mean TRANSFORM...their lives.
