May 19 2009More Than Meets The Eye: Transformer USB Drive Is Awesomest I've Seen In A While
What do you buy for the man who has nothing? While you ponder that nugget of vast intellectuality, I'll tell you about this 2GB Transformer memory stick (which is way better than these ones). Probably the awesomest USB drive I've seen in forever, the unit transforms from a normal looking USB ding-dongle into Ravage, a fierce jungle cat Decepticon (which some believe to be a dog, WHICH HE IS NOT YOU WILL NOT RUIN MY CHILDHOOD). Available fro pre-order from the BigBadToyStore, this piece of badassery will set you back $43 and ships in September. But the question remains: shouldn't you avoid trusting a Decepticon with your porno?*
*Does Optimus Prime piss transmission fluid and wipe his ass with corrugated steel?**
**Bumblebee says so!

Thanks to Tank and Julian, who once convinced a Decepticon it was human and then broke its heart with a backhoe.

Thats an F-ing VOLTRON lion

Assuming this would fight the Autobots, it's either a cat the size of a middle finger, or a memory stick the size of a real panther. Whatever option it is, it will not win a fight!!! Ok, maybe.

Well dang it this is real awesomness, I would get a couple for sure
9. Rod - May 19, 2009 1:04 PM
You're 100% correct. It's a Voltron lion with a Decepticon sticker slapped on it.
10. catch22 - May 19, 2009 1:14 PM
i would totally rock one of these
...why does it only come in 2 gig though?
11. dubba - May 19, 2009 1:16 PM
so if thats a voltron cat... could they make a usb hub that looks like the body and connect the cats to it to make a big voltron flash drive?
the idea has been put out...make it happen already!
im waiting with card in hand
12. Heather - May 19, 2009 1:18 PM
This. Is. Awesome.
Even better than the glue stick USB!
13. naas - May 19, 2009 1:30 PM
my thoughts exactly @1 - neato!
14. Moose Knuckle - May 19, 2009 1:34 PM
Hope Michael Bay didn't design it as that would mean it would cause explosions upon insertion.
Yes, I said insertion...

DO WANT DO WANT DO WANT.
Have I mentioned that I want this?
16. donna - May 19, 2009 1:44 PM
My son would love that...
17. gadiv - May 19, 2009 1:47 PM
Only 2gb?
This is really cool, but that's pretty low storage these days. It's really well sculpted and articulated, and I wish they'd put that sort of attention into the Transformers Universe Hound w/ Ravage figures.
I just hope it comes in higher storage capacities when it hits the shelves.
18. cool-slayer - May 19, 2009 1:53 PM
That's expensive. But I totally want it.
On other, totally unrelated news, my birthday is coming up soon... anyone?
19. GLADIATOR - May 19, 2009 2:15 PM
OMG!!!! This is totally cool. I used to have one of these. ... minus the USB drive!
ME WANTS!!!

it reminds me of my transformer watch.
21. Daisy - May 19, 2009 4:23 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was throwing a party for his accounting clients, and chased by a dog like beast. He asks who brought their pet to the party, and then ran away to save everyone else. He was eventually captured by the law, and subsequently set free when Peck has his way with the containment.

26. Hal - May 19, 2009 9:35 PM

that is one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen
29. Jaded Icon - May 20, 2009 8:49 AM
This is pretty sweet. I need another item at the office to validate my geek status. This should do nicely.
30. Rhialto - May 20, 2009 10:09 AM
USB-sticks are always ment to be lost,as small and boring they look.This could be a good alternative!
31. His Huge Greatness Himself - May 20, 2009 10:18 AM
My Master Spies are having a lot of secret information on USB-sticks. . . Unfortunally they always lose 2-3 sticks in average a year.Instead of hanging them for the lost i should give them these sticks to prevent losing.
32. soundwave superior - May 20, 2009 10:26 AM
Yeah, that's pretty sweet and I will buy it. After all, I do have the Soundwave mp3 player and the Ravage and Rumble headphones that go with it. I tried to get GW to post about those, but he's slacking off as usual. Probably humping a dinosaur as usual.
33. Amitay capone - November 9, 2009 11:36 AM
My lil bro bought me this sweet ass toy for my 24th birthday and i never been happier, probably the best USB memory stick i have ever seen.
Can a 80's geek get an amen?
34. Stephen - November 14, 2009 8:45 AM
This is something nice.
