They look awesome, but why are we paying $60 for this?

Because Japan?

I anticipate with Ravage's fragility that I'll transform him once and leave him displayed as Jaguar, with Laserbeak on Soundwave's arm, the other three stored in the chest.

I also anticipate there'll be a lot of Rumbles Frenzies Decepticon Rumbles!Decepticon Frenzies!FIBRIR! red robots being sold on the secondary market.

I was a tad bit disappointed in MP Ravage when I saw the first "in-hand" non-promotional pics. I still am, considering that the USB Ravage makes a damned fine Masterpiece Ravage in jaguar mode, has a movable jaw and probably more poseability than the MP version. But the USB (Device Label) Ravage is missing the hip rockets, and has a long tail that needs to be hinged. But all things considered, he's pretty awesome, still.

MP Ravage won some points when I saw that video though. His drawbacks are his size (I feel he ends up looking too small, as the hip rockets take up a good portion of his mass) and his jaw isn't articulated like the Device Label one, and I feel like they could've made his jaw hinged considering that Laserbeak has a tiny **** camera that pops out of his head. But that transformation is pretty damned clever. Maybe more creative than Laserbeak.

I think however he made a mistake, aren't the barrels used not as batteries but as cable that connects soundwave in cassette mode to the monitor in Transformers the movie 6 min and 28 seconds into the movie?

Interesting catch. I wonder if they can be connected end to end?

Another thing I thought of, why does Laserbeak get his own card but Ravage & Rumble share one? Throwback to G1?

$60.00 is likely the import/retailer fee. They're probably closer to $20-30.00 in Japan.
