Me Grimlock... mouse.
Yesterday we brought you images of awesome Ravage Transformer USB drive. Today we bring you another melding of Transformers and computer technology with the Trypticon Decepticon command base and Grimlock Dinobot, which both transform from Tyrannosaurs into mice.
While both look far less like their classic Transformer counterparts than Ravage, it’s still more than enough to tickle the nostalgic parts of us.
With three buttons and an 800 dpi sensor, it’s not a lot of mouse for the money at $60 – but if you’ve gotta have it, it’ll be shipping in September.

zak_mckraken The Ravage drive is cool and "useful, at a certain point. However, this mouse seems awfully akward to use. I can,t imagine holding that thing for hours.Reply -
megamanx00 That doesn't even look like Grimlock. BOOOOOO........Reply
I know that in order to transform into a mouse the dinobot form can't look like the original, but that doesn't even look like they tried. If you're gonna make a transformer mouse, put a little more effort into it.
