Product Description Beware of the truck! Roll into battle and blow away evil with this amazing 12-inch Optimus Prime vehicle that quickly converts into a dart-launching blaster.

Pick one up for loads of fun at home or on the job! Ages 5 and up. Optimus Prime ('Optimus' or 'Prime' for short) is the fictional commander of the main protagonist group (known as the 'Autobots') in the Transformers universes. His original toy in Japan's 'Diaclone' line is called 'Battle Convoy' because he leads a convoy of vehicles. Optimus Prime is one of the most recognizable Transformers of the series.

Instant Transformation The Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster starts off as an awesome, red and blue semi-truck. The truck can be played with just like any other toy vehicle, rolling smoothly over hard floors and carpet alike. It is a very detailed model, featuring windows, studded wheels and -- of course -- the famous Autobots logo. However, the fun doesn't stop there: The truck instantly changes into an arm-blaster with the pull of a lever. With this blaster, kids will be blowing away Decepticons in no time. Kids can harness the incredible power of the Transformers by shooting darts with deadly accuracy and range. It also fits comfortably over your child's hand, virtually transforming your young hero into Optimus Prime himself.
About Transformers The Transformers began as a Hasbro toy line back in 1983, featuring toy vehicles that could transform into robots. The toys soon inspired an entire universe of fictional story lines, pitting the two factions of Transformers -- the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons -- against one another. A live-action movie based on the Transformers was released in 2007 and has continued the toy line's extreme popularity. With toys such as the Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster, kids can bring home the struggle between the Autobots and Decepticons.
What's in the Box Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster and three foam darts.

Great fun for the young Transformer Fan!May 29, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
My 5 year-old saw this and went crazy for it. It immediately made it on the "Wish List" and Santa brought it for Christmas. It's easy to transform and shoot once you get the hang of snapping it in. The only problem is finding replacement darts. I think we've lost all the original ones. Does anyone have any clues?
My son is thrilled !!February 1, 2008 This was right at the top of my son's Christmas List this year. His grandparents got it for him and he was thrilled. He has enjoyed it. I wish I could find some replacement darts for it though as his little sister has made of with 2 of them. lol Overall he loves it so that makes me happy. I am not a big fan of things that shoot being in the house for toys, but this has worked out okay.
Battle Rig Blaster ReviewJanuary 20, 2008 We bought this for our 4 year old and it took him about a week to learn how to transform it himself. If you are a 4 year old you have to pull it really hard to make it transform from the truck to the gun. Otherwise he has had hours of fun playing with it. I would also recommend to buy extra nerf darts because they do get lost easily. I think that it only comes with 3 or 4 darts.Hasbro Transformers Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster
Great dart shooterJanuary 8, 2008 My son enjoyed this toy over anything else he received this Christmas. The toy transforms in just a matter of seconds, and can shoot the foam darts far and fast.
My boys love it!October 17, 2007 16 out of 17 found this review helpful
My son saw a friend play with the blaster and had to have it. We got the Optimus Prime and Starscream blasters for his birthday. My boys absolutely love these. They are very easy to transform from vehicle to blaster and back again.
The images show both robot and vehicle mode (Earth Helicopter). The image of the robot mode shows that Megatron has decent articulation, but unlike the Leader Class version, his cannon cannot be attached to his forearm.

Seibertron.com Reviews Soon To Be Released Glu Mobile 'Tranformers: G1 Awakening' Game Thanks to staff member Stormrider, I was given the chance to make contact with a member of Glu mobile;#x2019;s PR staff, and was able to play a demo of the soon to be released ;#x2018;Transformers: G1 Awakening;#x2019; game for cellular phones. Glu Mobile was very kind and even sent me a compatible phone loaded with the game to play, as they do not currently have a version available for the iPhone.
I was able to spend about a week with the game, wasting many precious hours, staying up until the wee early hours of the morning as I played the addicting game, and tried to experience as much of it as I could before I had to send the demo back....
First off we have Stealth, err, Goldbug... I mean ELITE GUARD BUMBLEBEE by Tamo536. Straight up repaint of the Original Animated Bumblebee, but according to the reviewer the 'stingers' are now able to better fit into the arms...
And also a huge picture montage courtesy of the Japanese Transformers Image Board showing Sentinel in package, with other Elite Guard members, and with the Headmaster unit firmly placed on his shoulders.
Everybody should want to get Sentinel as soon as they can...
