Well that sucks. This was the only one from the series that transformed into something that actually looked like a real world object and probably the only one that could have served any useful purpose and seen any real use (you know he would have looked sick sitting next to your computer!). Let's be honest here, Ravage in his USB mode looked like nothing more than... well, a folded up Ravage, with Grimlock not much better, but Blaster was awesome. (yeah, it seems alittle odd that you can put tapes into something that turns into a laptop, but way back in the day they made cassette tape drives for computers, so it's not so strange if you look at it that way :P) I totally agree with the person that said Takara was asking ridiculous prices for out of date technology, they hit the point exactly and that is why this line failed. No company cancels a product if it's making profit, the problem was people wern't stupid enough to pay that much for things were junk. I wasted money on Music Label Soundwave once and was really disappointed. Sure he looked cool, but it sounded like utter crap (both through my car stereo and hi-end headphones) with distortion, static and a constant annoying popping sound. It just dosn't make any sense to build overpriced "functioning" items if the technology is outdated (or shoddy) and people arn't going to get any use from them. Just build them as regular toys and forget about the expensive gimmicks if ya can't do it right. Blaster might have been the exception and it's a shame we'll never know.

^ I never even bothered to try using my Music Label Soundwave as an mp3 player, so I agree it would've been nice if they'd just made it non-functioning and much cheaper.

Or better yet, use technology that's actually good.
