Xiaomi together with Hasbro, the toy manufacturer based in
the United States, have just launched a device - Mi Pad Transfomers toy named
Soundwave: Mi Pad 2, a Transformers robot that can transform into Mi Pad 9.7
inch tablet or vice versa.
However, this tablet won't function just like tablet devices
in general. It doesn't contain any sophisticated components, there's no
chipset, battery, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth. But still, this is an exciting
breakthrough. At least, for Xiaomi fans, this could be an iconic toy souvenir. The
tablet's ability to be converted into Decepticon will certainly add the value
of Soundwave: Mi Pad 2.
In China, Soundwave: Mi Pad 2 is offered for 169 Yuan. Since
Hasbro and Xiaomi are the two big names in different stages, this toy will have
historical value in the future. For toy collectors, Soundwave: Mi Pad 2 seems a
must-have toy for them.
Unfortunately, there is no official information whether
Xiaomi plans to market this toy out of China or not.
