Second Wave arrival, Melissandra “Sandy” Lutra, has begun a business offering Transformers 3: Dark Of The Moon clothes and accessories to Next Island pioneers. Her first product is a long-sleeved T-shirt, featuring the well-known Autobots symbol. The Autobot shirt is available for men and women, and colorable in-world for more detailed avatar customization. This is the first in a collection of Transformers clothes, weapons and accessories to be made available on Next Island.

“We can’t just fight papoo and look for missing Elysians all the time,” Lutra says,“Next Islanders need stylish clothing options as well!” By offering Transformers shirts, Lutra joins many Next Island entrepreneurs making a living, or even a sizable profit, as traders.

Lutra sells her wares at Crystal Center, in the gazebo near Carolines Comedy Club. Her first offering is a long-sleeved shirt with the iconic Autobots symbol, but she plans further additions to the collection when her next interdimensional shipment arrives. Her t-shirt has three fields for coloring, allowing Islanders to sport the beloved Autobots symbol and customize their style.

“Transformers is a good fit for the brave, scientific spirit of the Elysians on Next Island,” First-Waver Arthur Sorensen says.“I purchased a female Autobots shirt for my, um, uh, friend, Io. I think it’s a good gift to for an attractive woman I like and respect. As a friend.”

But not everyone is happy about the new fashion options. 0574-Samuel expressed concerns that Next Islanders would become distracted from their essential Elysian missions.“I require human assistance in activating sensors in and around Crystal,” he says,“I fail to see how attractive clothing benefits this activity.”
