USB Powered Transformer Speakers Play Sound, Fail At Transforming
We had high hopes when we first saw the G1 Optimus Prime Head with Built-In USB-Powered Speakers from the Big Bad Toy Store. Its a shame that all of our hopes and dreams were crushed when we learned that this decapitated transformer doesn’t transform.
It does however play sound from computer or other 3.5mm jacked device. The closest thing that this autobot does are the fold out speakers. The helmet folds open like ears–unlike any transformer we have seen–in order to expose the speakers.
Still for those die hard Transformers fans this is a great desk decoration that is quazi-functional too!


I can’t wait to get me a pair of these bad boys! What are the chinese thinking? They manufacture some of the most useless crap. I swear. This weekend we purchased an electronic actuated scissor jack for our boat trailer. It was rated at 2.0 tonnes, yet the fuse kept blowing when we put a load a lot less than that on it. Go figure. There is junk like that all over the marketplace.
