Must Have Ravage!!!!! I can store my pictures of my collection on it.

Also, I must know where they get those wonderful stands.

Wow, the articulation looks excellent!

Hah, I might have to change my mind on these despite the meager 2mb. The articulation does look great

I don't know if its just my internet being screwy, but in Real Devestator's post all the images come up as "image" without an actual picture showing up.

Looks nifty though

The stands are for gundam moidels but they come with a load of different attachments so will display some transformers superhero action figures and most things with a plug hole in them such as revoltech.

HLJ sell them as do many other online retailers such as bbts i belive or else you can order them through comic shops as thier regularly offered through previews magazine.

The bases connect in many different ways so you can have jets attcking flying figures or display things in many different ways.

Hopefu;;y mydevice abel stuff will arrive soon, even with the UK postal strike.

Just wish they would release it all at once to save me shipping and customs charges

Very cool but not 50 dollars cool IMO. Would like to have a Ravage though.

They look cool, 2GB isn't bad either

Sweet! Looking forward to getting my Ravage preorder in.

These things look better than any other Ravenge/Tigertron figure in transformers history. However, as a collector, I am looking for figures for display and I have no interest in the USB feature. If they really want to make any money, they should market this thing for kids and not through a small company as a collectors figure.

Then you should know that the market for toy robots is over-saturated in Japan, especially for kids. Blame Bandai. To my knowledge, Takara only has one line aimed at kids in that area called Tomika Hero Rescue Force, with Power Ranger-like vehicles that can combine.

Hey Guys.

Just to make you all aware, there are already Knock Offs of these USB drives. I have been offered them and they look fine but please be aware!

I'm so Getting Tigatron. Universe Ravage is good enough for me though.

Can't wait for Blaster!

Getting Tigatron, simply because I own a white cat, and Tigs will be her stand-in on my shelf.

HK-TF member Kaiser has shared with some of the gimmicks of Device Label Tigatron/Jaguar.

When the thumb drive is plug into the computer, a set up page will appear.

We can set up the characteristics of Tigatron/Jaguar (that eventually will appear on the Desktop) such as lazy or active, slower or faster speed etc.
We also can set the Tigatron/Jaguar to "eat up" the Desktop icons, "jumping" around, roar or transform.

hope you can change the language option

nice gimmick, although the first pic showing Ravage with his legs popping out is a bit disturbing to me.

That is a most excellent idea. :mrgreen:

Heh, cool gimmicks too. It'll be fun to play with, especially considering I never once used Music Label Soundwave as an mp3 player.

Sold on both of them. Wasn't sure if I was going to get them originally due to the price. However, due to amazing alt mode and the digital version it more than makes up for the price. I really hope Blaster, Grimlock and Trypticon also share the digital feature. If you have Ravage and Tigatron plugged in, do they interact?

I love him as a fugure, but am I the only one who thinks the whole "memory stick" concept is ridiculous ??? I love my collection but I dont feel the need to take a figure with me to work.
