Optimus Prime Speakers Feature Pretty Half-Assed Transforming
Come on, this isn’t much of a transformation. This powered USB gadget is in the shape of Optimus Prime’s severed head, and the ears (or whatever) swing out to reveal the speakers within.
There should also be a version in the shape of something called “Ultra Magnus,” which we’re going to assume is another Transformer, and is available for pre-order now. It’ll sell for $US50 when it arrives sometime later this month. [BigBadToyStore via Chip Chick]

Elephantimus Prime. They really didn’t try, did they? And I thought Krusty’s products where a cheap money maker.
What are they doing to their packaging where you need to pay an extra $2.00 to have packaging that may be 90% mint or better?
I can't think of to many things that bought online where the packaging was mangled.

@Toastie: your such an idiot!

This is not even half as cool as my Optimus Prime mr. potatohead.

you call yourselves geeks and you don't even know who Ultra Magnus is? Giz just lost 50 points.

Could you please transform yourself that flies, drives or swims away from spoiling plots for those of us who have not watched the movie? Thankfully it is a Michael Bay movie and I guess it's pretty much impossible to spoil a plot that doesn't exist, but c'mon!

@Toastie: 1) The remaining splinter of the all spark fell down a plot hole sometime after the other splinter was stolen.
2) Skyfire clearly didn't teleport. He transformed into an inter-dimensional wormhole. Much more explosive than flying around the world.

@lostarchitect: But why didn't Shia Lebouf just resurrect Optimus Prime with his splinter of all spark instead of traveling to Egypt and unlocking a disintegrating key that could destroy his sun. Then jamming said key into Optimus' chest, and then having said key ripped from Optimus' chest with no damage to him. And why can Skyfire fucking teleport!? Transformers don't do that! They transform into shit and then fly, drive, or swim wherever they want to go! Damn you Michael Bay! Ddddammmnnn yyyyooouuuuuuuu!!!!!
@92BuickLeSabre: Why don't you wear glasses when you eat?
AngryGazebo
Do his optics light up?
@inspiredEpic: i have a sneeze on mine.
@92BuickLeSabre: OK, fine. the toy which represented ultra magnus was based around the same toy which represented optimus prime, except white instead of red. additionally, magnus' trailer was an open "car carrier" (as opposed to prime's) box trailer. The car carrier transformed into a larger body for the magnus toy.
ok? sheesh. ;)
@annatavarro, everyone knows the transformers comics sucked. it was all about the cartoons!
@inspiredEpic: Those pictures of me "chatting" myself were taken out of context!
@92BuickLeSabre: I got a slug.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Magnus Read the comics, plz. :)

@Segador: I have to admit, that's my favorite kind of Transformer.
Especially when there is string cheese inside.
@lostarchitect: Well then he wasn't exactly the same, except white, was he?
@600Followers_GitEmSteveDave: stop asking questions.
@inspiredEpic: You do.
But it's over there ---------->
@600Followers_GitEmSteveDave: You can be Optimus Quarte.
@¡OMG!PWNIES: BLAST!
Made me think I had dirt on my screen >:(
@¡OMG!PWNIES: SteveDave already has live chats with himself.
It's like the Transformers lunchbox I got for Christmas in '86. It transformed into.... an open lunchbox.
Segador
ultra magnus was exactly the same transformer as prime, except white. his trailer was different as well.
@600Followers_GitEmSteveDave: you can have a live chat with megan fox, be a transformer, and another live chat with yourself
.
@leozuck: What if you have 4 webcams?
Speaking of Optimus Prime's severed head, check out weareautobots.com
If you have a webcam it'll track your face and put his head over yours. You wanted to be Optimus, now you can be!
leozuck
I have a similar power. Sometimes I put on a hat and sometimes I take it off! Sometimes I wear glasses, but not when I eat!
It's like magic!

But what happens to his trailer when he transforms?
