Autobot flash drive probably isn't licensed, doesn't care

We know how you Transformers aficionados roll -- you'll spend your very last dollar just to ensure your collection stays complete. That being said, we'd probably recommend skipping right over this Autobot 1GB USB flash drive, unless you dig (likely) non-licensed gear cluttering up your pristine heap, that is. If you're still letting your heart cloud your mind, riddle us this: what legitimate piece of Transformers kit requires you to purchase 12?

This would be a pretty good gift for most kids. But I woulda went a different route... small toy models of Starscream, Bumblebee, Optimus and Megatron on a keyring.

What does it change into?

[Chebwa @ Feb 4th 2008 2:54PM]

A non-licensed Autobot flash drive...? It probably changes indiscriminately into 1GB of free space.

[StrangeBum @ Feb 4th 2008 3:11PM]

I believe it changes into a portable porn collection. Because what else are flash drives good for?

;-)

Sometimes you make a portable Firefox browser, but yes sometimes the porn.

Sometimes both.

Not to mention Pocket K-meleon, Open Office portable, Clam AV portable, Notepad++ portable, Portable CCleaner, A few sysinternals programs, GIMP portable, Filezilla portable, Xammplite, PSPad, etc etc etc







Oh yes and some dubious pictures discreetly hidden a few folders deep in directories with names like tmp.

You've got the touch!

You've got the POW-ERRRRR!

I'm sure there is more than meets the eye with this flash drive..........

[Carbonize @ Feb 4th 2008 5:19PM]

Didn't you know that Hasbro stole the idea for the Transformers from Apple back in 198*. Soundwave was the original concept for todays iPod and Megatron came from Apple's military division. Jazz was based on Jobs' car at the time.

Autobots != RED

This drive is infected!

[Nathan @ Feb 4th 2008 5:06PM]

I would have guessed that you're even more ridiculous than this unlicensed flash drive for posting your ridiculous website at the bottom of all your comments.

[Carbonize @ Feb 4th 2008 6:58PM]

Damn we both look like idiots now that someone at Endgaget has deleted that muppets posts.

[Carbonize @ Feb 4th 2008 5:14PM]

That's why I've just reported every post he's ever made since they all contain the link.

Wow, click on the combo pack at the bottom of the page, and look how huge and dorky this thing is.

[yehaaa6 @ Feb 5th 2008 5:12PM]

they didn't even put the lights in the eyes where they belong!

[tonym @ Feb 6th 2008 5:42PM]

Did you see the picture of it on the lanyard. That thing is HUGE for a flash drive.

[Carbonize @ Feb 4th 2008 3:44PM]

Forget the size. According to the specs on the Read link this thing weighs 8.2kg :|

[mesatchornug @ Feb 4th 2008 4:51PM]

Item Weight(in kg): 0.017
Carton Weight(in kg): 8.20
Carton Quantity: 120

no worries. they're not 8.2 kg, but per 120.

Also note, they come in Decepticon as well...

[Carbonize @ Feb 4th 2008 5:14PM]

DOH! that's for the carton of 120 :|

Just shoot me now.

[z3r0D @ Feb 4th 2008 7:55PM]

Ya...

But if you get this thing, i think you'll want everyone to know you have one.

[Carbonize @ Feb 4th 2008 10:03PM]

Could wear it round your neck Flavor Flav style.

[Thumbs Up @ Mar 12th 2008 9:45AM]

Just to clear a few things up. This USB drive *is* licensed from Hasbro and people don't have to buy 12 at a time - that's just retailers, as the product page that's linked to is a wholesale site.

It's the place where all the new products debut though, so sometimes bloggers are a bit quick off the mark when looking for new stuff and pick up misleading info.
