Alternity Starscream is expected to be a nice figure!

Yes, all the alt modes from the Alternity line are real vehicles.

If you buy this to display in a collection, when are you actually gonna use the electronic feature??? That just increases the price for a useless feature. And if you actually plan on buying it to use it's electronic feature, how many times will you actually transform it to robot mode ??? The same thing is to be said about the "Ravange" memory stick. These are Christmas stocking stuffers, not real figures in my opinion.

Not real figures? Stocking suffers? What does that even mean? The electronic features aren't useless. I have all my G1 instructions sheets saved on Ravage, and I plan on taking pics of all the figures in my collection and saving them on Tigatron. Realistically someone who just wants a USB hub or memory stick and nothing more isn't going to buy these, but a TF fan who needs one might. Pesonally I'll be getting Blaster purely for display purposes, same as my Music Label Soundwave. I've never even bothered putting a battery or mini SD card in him, but he makes the perfect Classics Soundwave. Would I prefer an option to buy this figure minus the electronics for a lower price? Sure, but at this point it looks like we are lucky to be getting this figure at all, and like many others I really want a Classics Blaster. (yeah I know he has already been released in Universe as the Cybertron Soundwave repaint, which I was not a fan of )

Truth in posting.

Also, Japan loves kawaii kitch. Device Label fits the bill pretty well.

Anyone with a slim model ps3 may get some use out of the USB hub, just a thought...

I was having a bad day until I realised that takara cannot only read minds, but also answer prayers!
Starscream shall be mine :APPLAUSE:

o.k, is it me or are the seekers' helmets snake heads?

It would fit with the car name

While I am not one of those collectors who thinks that Takara does everything better than Hasbro, it's hard to argue right now that Takara seems to have a better pulse on what collectors really want right now.

Hmm, I gotta say those seekers are looking better than expected. I love how they still have wings in bot mode and everything. Looking forward to seeing how the actual toys look. Only thing is...where will I display them in my collection? :-?

The Alternity sketch looks pretty neat. I wonder if we'll get Thundercracker eventually too. Not that I even needed Skywarp but they might as well go all the way with the repaints. We know they want to, they know we'll want it. Sounds like a no brainer. I like the Ravage and Tigatron USBs but that's too much for such a small amount of memory. I can go to Wal-mart and get 4 gigs for $10-$20. I mean, I'd love to have them. I can't justify them to myself though.

Toshiba is apparently releasing 4gig versions of Tigertron and ravage stateside sometime this year. They are still fairly expensive at $40 but at least they will have double the memory.

Personally I'm more exited about the new Alternity than any of the Device Label figures. But I might get Ravage if they are available at Best Buy and I can use some of my Reward zone points on him.

4 gigs? *facepalm* Oh well, I jumped the gun getting the first release of Ravage, but you just never know with these things. I'll rarely use it as a USB drive anyway.
