Makes me feel young again.
Those who remember the classic first generation of Transformers will know that Ravage the Decepticon transformed into a cassette tape.
These days we no longer store our audio recording on analog tape, but rather in digital data. The Ravage of today would transform into another small-portable media form such as a USB stick. And here we have it:
At only 2 GB and $43, it’s definitely not cheap (and not shipping until September). But die-hard Transformer fans and collectors have probably already decided that they must have it.
Hopefully we'll get to see a USB Laserbeak next.

Sure! I play MTG and some people just get crazy when they check the price of some cards! But as you say this is for enthusiasts!!
I want one!!!
Where is my Isolinear Chip USB device? My Communicator cell phone? Where is my Wi-Fi Tricorder?
I will add it to my friends 'Romulan Ale' stash...
Reminds me of this little device

where can i order
Wow! this is an awesome idea, too bad its so expensive for 2 gig. I would be willing to pay an extra $5 - $10 for a tranformers USB, but not an extra $35...
More than meets the eye, that's for sure
Could have made a bigger capacity 4GB min or even better 8GB for $35 would be fair for something like this.
quite simply - b@d @$$! =)
definitely should be bigger than 2GB though - they could sell these like hot cakes! btw - what's Soundwave gonna be now then? (a portable storage drive? or do they have boom boxes that can play audio from USB drives now?)
yes, I'm ignoring the movie version.
My inner nerd is jizzing in his pants
lol AWESOME
Righteous.
For that much money it should be a 16GB then it would be very cool!
You had me at hello!
i laughed...
Be the coolest guy at the office.
Sure! I play MTG and some people just get crazy when they check the price of some cards! But as you say this is for enthusiasts!! Special editions tend to be expensive!!
Haha MTG what a LOSER!
So about my Autobot emblem in place of the Ford one on my car.....

I think the dude that wrote this CLEARLY was sarcastic.
sweet, there are mice and usb hubs as well
Hah, awesome
I soiled my pants.
For $43, I AM EXPECTING it to transform by itself.
Considering that normal Transformer toys are about $4~20, depending on size / parts / complexity. This USB stick should be $25 at most.
I'm sure there's much more too it than meets the eye
my girlfriend would adore this shes a total transformers freak though faggetron is her favorite.
coooooooooooooooooool
How long until we see a dildo usb stick? Gotta take care of the fem. geeks.
