Sure, you already have piles of flash drives scattered around your apocalyptic nightmare of an apartment, but this one's more special than those, right? Because it's a Transformer-- Ravage, AKA Tripredacus Agent. Ravage has outlived the age of cassette and is onto smaller, better things, and he can store up to 2GB of your most valuable data. He's going to run $42.99 when he's available in September, and can be pre-ordered now.
Update: It looks like the pre-order is already sold out! Wonder if the fact that we ordered 1,000 of them has anything to do with it?

I would kill for one, but it's way overpriced.
Oh yes. My first reaction was MUST HAVE.... but the I saw the pricing.
So you'd kill for this, but won't pay $42.99.. interesting.
i lol'd.
you bastards, you better be selling me one e)))
It'd be cooler if it's penis was the plug-y thingy
why-
..nevermind its not worth it
Epic Win
....but $42 for a 2Gb drive?
$10.00 + transformers awesomeness != $42.99
Me hugging my G1 cassette Ravage.
It may not store files but it is way more awesome.
Hey, you gotta pay those ridiculous licensing fees somehow!
"$10.00 + transformers awesomeness != $42.99"
More like $10.00 + transformers awesomeness! = $42.99
I'd pay that for an 8GB+ drive like that...either way it's pretty rad!!
I would do that
Want
My heart tells me to get around 50-100 of them but my wallet says otherwise.
omg i want!!
but ... too expensive =[
it's sold out anyway
here are the rest of them

The looks like Thundercats....... Hooooooo.
^ should read
The head looks like...
I should have listened to my teachers advice and proof-read my sh*t
Nah! Voltron FTW!
I hear the Germans make toilets for proof-reading your sh*t
you know the Germans make good stuff.
where does Engadget get their budget from, that they can just preorder 1,000 of these stupidly overpriced 2 gig usb drives...? $43,000 bucks gone!
erm, hyperbole?
erm, sarcasm?
erm, engadget?
erm, tarp?
erm, AOL?
erm, batman
erm, _?
erm, recession much?
erm, long recession...
erm, apple? engadget isnt the interwebs biggest apple fanboy for free, you know.
C-C-Combo breaker!!
SUPREME VICTORY
sniff. There's a tear in my cereal for each one of you.
WANT! WANT! Engadget gimme one. :)
Holy crap this needs to be the next Recession Antidote, if Engadget can get one anyway. I wonder if this uses an original Ravage toy or is a new manufacture of some type?
Take out the transformer logo and this will cost under 20 bucks.
Agree to disagree
btw, Voltron was also awesome..... totally forgot about that great show
Damn! Finally someone saw the light
Amen!
More than meets the eyes.
$42.99, what a rip off, they should make it a microSD card reader...
Would get but my son would steal it, break it, lose it, then put the blame on me and have the nerve to ask for Rumble and Laser Beak.
Can you make these a free giveaway
Must. get. one. I have a tattoo of Ravage on my arm for crying out loud!
Sad
Saw an unpainted prototype of this a while back at TFW2005 and was like, "Meh."
But painted? Oh good god. If it was cheaper or higher capacity for that price? It would be mine. But I can't be spending $42.99 on a 2GB flash drive, even if it does look like Ravage.
Never mind the thousands upon thousands of dollars I've spent on Transformers over the past two and a half decades...
