Robots in Disguise-ish: Transformers Ravage USB Flash Drive
Friday, November 13th, 2009It seems the Transformers are keen on keeping up with the times. The Decepticon Ravage–formerly one of Soundwave’s microcassettes–now takes the alternate form of an honest-to-goodness 2GB USB flash drive, a more contemporary storage medium.
