If you missed out on your chance to add a little Decepticon flare to your PC with the
Ravage USB flash drive earlier this week, you'd better hurry and put in your pre-order for this Trypticon Transforming Laser Mouse. In disguise he looks like a particularly non-ergonomic way to control your computer, but in just a few seconds he transforms into... well, a pretty sad, skinny looking rendition of the Decepticon command base. He may have lost weight, but he certainly hasn't dropped any perceived value, available now on pre-order for a somewhat pricey $59.99. He also ships in September, and despite his cost we wouldn't be surprised if that "Add To Cart" button transforms into a "Sold Out" button right quick. When oh when will the Autobots show up to save us from these evil USB gadgets exploiting our childhood memories?
Update: We got a comment from awa64 that there are a few other devices in disguise
available for pre-order, including a few Autobots. Go get clicking if you want one, but we're holding out for an Optimus Prime uninterruptible power supply.

*poor impersonation of transformation noise*
I love it.
light my darkest hour.
When you do a story about the Autobot Blaster that turns into a USB hub that looks like a Toshiba laptop. Or about the other USB mouse that's colored like Grimlock.
Or for the Beast Wars fans, the other USB key that's colored like Tigatron.

So much win.
comment stealer. where's my credit?
Looks like a toy you'd get in a Happy Meal.
These are all from the Transformers Device Label line launching in Sept.
You may be able to save a few bucks shopping around on total cost (product + shipping).
This is where I grabbed my stuff:

Not half as cool as the Ravage Thumb drive that we say yesterday....now that was awesome.
do you read posts or do you just skim thru them?
So I'm not allowed to give my opinion because the writer of the article gave his? The Article is pretty small, there clearly would be little need to skim through it instead of reading it.....why do u feel the need to be a jerk for no reason?
I wonder if I can still use it as a mouse when its "transformed"
