Music Label superior. Device Label inferior.

Finally after 25+ years of waiting! Rematch at Dancitron! Now all we is a Raul and a Generations Tracks!

Wait forget the Dancitron part.

And the Raul.

Strippers and Blackjack for all instead.

WTF is a USB hub? And why hasn't HasTak sent me a check for using my name and likeness?

A USB hub is a way of turning one USB port into more. Think of it like on of those multi plug bar sockets you might use to plug more than one thing into a single mains socket. If you dont know what USB is then I applaud you for being able to use a PC/MAC with zero knowledge.

Front looks great; back looks horrible. Too much kibble. Don't suppose anything could have been done about that, though. Still picking it up.

I need a USB hub at my desk at work...It's pretty clear what I have to to!

I do, however, wish he was a little bit smaller. Small price to pay though.

Ugh. I want this, but I cancelled the Pre-Order in favor of the FP Bruticus Upgrades.

maybe later...just can't swing it right now. :BOOM:

Don't worry about it, I'll guilt you into buying one. Then it'll be my fault.

He actually looks bigger than I thought. I'm pretty excited.

It won't take much, I really like it, but I have to wait a bit, job's a little iffy.

Nice going on dodging the sarcasm

And once I get a laptop or notebook he'll be mine...

Computers and I.... don't get along. Let's just put it like it. Though I do know what USB ports are, I had no idea what a 'hub' was. Makes sense.

by **Bouncy X** » Fri Jul 16, 2010 9:39 am

possible stupid question....

does he have to stay in "laptop" mode to work? wondering if transforming him might disconnect something inside. i do hope the answer is no cuz i can imagine sitting at my desk and someone needs to plug stuff in (all my usb ports are taken) and then i go..

"let me just grab my hub"

"but that's just a toy"

"oh but its more than meets the eye"

thats right, i went there.

but seriously yeah, anyone know if you can still use him as a hub in robot form?

The USB ports are in a pretty good position to use in robot mode. here's hoping it's still usable.

I'm really on the hunt for a G1 blaster standin. I have G1 blaster but he is just so big and boxy. DL Soundwave is fantastic, and I WANT to like this just so i can give each their rival... but it's not going to happen. Its just too boxy bulky. I still don't know what I'll do for a figure, but spending a bunch of money for a DL import just doesn't make sense in this case

I guess your best bet is to kitbash the hell out of WFC Soundwave then.

I still think that it should've been a set of speakers that combined into a ghetto-blaster and a robot mode.

All the same, if I suddenly needed more than the 4 or so USB ports I already have, I may pick one up.

Wonder if I can convince my wife to pay for it with the reasoning that she can have her iPod, Blackberry, and Sony E-Reader all plugged in at the same time...
