Transformers Device Label 2009

[Gane]

I just found this out and had to share...

These are functional USB devices namely memory, hub and optical mouse under the Transformers Device Label.

After the success with Music Label it's no wonder Takara-Tomy is coming out with more "Robots in Disguise". but if those are the prices listed, they sure do put a hefty premium this time... (that's a mighty expensive USB Hub) It's a joint product design from Takara-Tomy and Toshiba.

And since Soundwave had an upgrade to an oversized MP3 player... look who's got a Laptop design USB Hub, but is it an upgrade?

While Soundwave didn't have Ravage with him, we now have Ravage as a USB Memory along with Tigatron (don't know his US name) (Y 3990):

Dinasaura “[dainazaura]” (?) the USB Optical Mouse is (6,300 Yen) and they'll be out on Novermber 09

Personally I would have liked it if they used a USB memory stick from Kingmax because it's slimmer and now has a 8-16G capacity while this Device Label suppose to have only 1G...


Scroll Down for additional pics from this page including a high resolution of LC Buster Optimus Prime:

According to those pix. LC Buster Optimus will come out Nov. at roughly 4200 (direct conversion)... that paint job is to die for... and a look at new Alternity Bumblebee (I suppose)

Maybe he's too cool for takara to handle? lol

ok, enough with the jokes, I heard rumors that Takara maybe changing Blaster to Soundwave or Sound Blaster (color change and head remold maybe?). Seems like decepticons get to have more fun. lol. got this source from seibertron.com

They probably had a tough time explaining why a USB hub would be so expensive even for a Transformer line.

I liked the idea but the prices are way too much and not to mention I already lost a few USB memories in the past... forgetting to remove them was really a memory issue... ;D

Anyone here owns a grimlock optical mouse??? How's the mouse, does it function well?

Here's a good news for those who wanted to see Blaster...

It seems that Takara was still weighing the sales of Device Label with the announcement of canceling Blaster. However it was only delayed for business reasons I suppose.

Here's thanks to Tformers for the news on:

Alternity Starscream and Skywarp, design with a tentative schedule for March release.

Device Label Blaster and USB Cheetor with a tentative schedule for May release.

Buzz Lightyear who turns into his spaceship with a tentative schedule for June release.
