When was the last time you saw a USB drive do the above? Bonkers right, but not as crazy as the optical mouse that turns into a dinosaur.

Toshiba has teamed up with Hasbro to launch four official 1984 Transformers in the shape of a USB drive and optical mouse in time for the "Holidays", hoping to capitalise on the films and the general nostalgia for the cartoon.

The fully working robots in disguise are described by Toshiba as "Portable accessories with a classical twist".

Those wishing to sign up, will be able to get Tigatron and Ravage as a 4GB thumb drive while Grimlock and Trypticon are the mouse.

No word on pricing, but if you're a Transformers fan, get excited.
