There are Transformer hoodies, and then there is the Starscream Hoodie. This officially licensed sweatshirt lets you cosplay as the evil jet plane that is always plotting to overthrow Megatron. The hoodie is inspired by the 80s version of Starscream and not the version recently depicted in the films.
The result is a hoodie that is both retro and geeky. The Starscream Hoodie allows you to fly your geeky flag a bit higher than other nerdy hoodies, as all it takes to show your "wings" is the lifting of your arms. This makes it perfect for cosplayers who can't be troubled to construct an entire costume. The Starscream Hoodie is being sold for $80 and is available now.
