Of note with the Blaster/USB Hub is that Generation 1 cassettes can fit into Blaster’s tape deck! Click the thumbnail to the left to view all of the new images.

Preordered Blaster. I want to get Tigertron or Ravage, but I just can't do it right now because of the pricepoint. But Blaster as a USB hub next to the Music Label MP3 player Soundwave just seems right, doesn't it?

Going after Ravage for certain!

I could see some great custom Classic Blasters coming out of this. The head, body, and arms are all fine. Maybe the pin connecting the screen could be removed to take off the back kibble, and new legs could be made that could possibly support a tape deck mode. I mean.. he'd be more of a classic Blaster than the Cybertron Soundwave repaint.

I'm sure I'll drop the money for Blaster and Ravage. Tigatron looks nice too, and I'd buy Grimlock and Trypticon even though they look really weird (would have been better as Dinobot and Overkill like in the first reporting IMO) but they're way too expensive to buy them all.

Blaster is far too intelligent to install Windows Vista on himself.

If the alt mode really is a licensed brand (a Toshiba Qosmio) then whatever is on the screen will have to be something that Toshiba would want…
…and a Windows screen would be less of a giveaway than a bunch of Cybertronic code, regarding the in-universe disguise for Blaster.
(I wonder if they will do a special edition stlyed more like the X305?)
Lumpy
they so did…

yeah, i want a mac background, cuz i just don't want XP or Vista there…or maybe some sort of cybertronian screen, like teletran 1…

Cool! Blaster is a triple changer.
Changes from Robot to USB hub to lap top and back.
I could be wrong, but it looks like, even though he can hold a G1 cassette, his chest door won't be able to close while holding the cassette.

ravage…. so…. awesome…. must …… resist!!
are there any size comparison shots? I'd like to see how big that ravage usb is compared to a standard one. hopefully not too bulky

Please Primus, give him his rifle so he may live to fight Music Label Soundwave another day

Right. My sister had a Commodore-64 that used a cassette tape deck to store data.

Oh man, Im not sure if I am going to pick these up due to them being kidna expensive, but wow are these awesome. 1 minor complaint: why does Blaster have the have Windows XP on the screen? I think they should have gone with the Vista look or at least a nice looking Linux background.
Anyway, awesome toys there.

I was just thinking when we first saw these they had Dinobot and Overkill instead of Trypticon and Grimlock.
Now personally since these are quite skinny lookin' dino'sI'd prefer they were based on small Dinosaur characters (even a couple of the Fire-cons might have been a better choice) or the Dinosaur Microns from Micron Booster 4.
However I was wondering assuming they decide to repaint Blaster into Soundcast(er), then perhaps they might also decide to repaint the Dinosaurs.
I don't know about other people but i'd have prefered 101 Grimlocks (Beast Wars Grimlock) or Beast Wars Dinobot as the character base or Overkill since they just seem far to wimpy to be powerhouses like Grimlock and Trypticon – this is a Trypticon that I don't think can single handledly tear a borg cube to pieces with his teeth claws.
Overkill would have made a great complement to MP3 Soundwave I don't think that's so true of Trypticon.
They could even have made the dinosaur character in a dark purple color and sold it as Beast Megatron or as Beast Megaplex.
They look more like Compy's than Raptors to me too.
Tigertron sort of would have worked better with Dinobot too.
Blaster, Tigertron, & Ravage look like must haves to me.

Wow I'm loving the USB drives…those would be perfect to plug into the Allspark USB hub I've got ordered…since the Allspark makes things transform and stuff. Can Ravage be plugged in while in Robot mode, or does he have to be in USB mode?
>__> I didnt read all the posts so sorry if I'm asking something that's been answered already, but does anyone know an official price? I may want to get Ravage..
The mice would appeal to me had they been made Wireless. They do look nice though

Blaster being able to hold G1 cassettes has boosted this from "Eh… maybe, someday" to "WANT." You can keep your ML Soundwave; I'll stick with one that can hold his cassettes ('sides, I've got an iPod). But this Blaster might make a good counterpart to my reissue Soundwave. Not interested in Ravage, but I have to admit, his sculpt looks awesome. A great fusion of his Universe and G1 bodies.
If only this weren't so expensive. The cassette adventure 2 set will practically clean me out as it is, if I decide it's worth it.

HLJ says July release. Guess we'll see.
Also my sister and my niece are in July too. My niece and I are cancers and my sister is a Leo.

I would get Ravage- it's nice.
But way to expensive for what is essentially a novelty toy.
