Customer Reviews:
Petty good toyApril 1, 2008 This is a pretty good toy, it is fairly poseable and made of quality plastics unlike most of the Movie Transformers toys. The transformation is fairly simple involving only about 6 steps and all parts of the toy can store on the toy, both in robot and vehicle mode.
I collect transformer toys and I love Optimus Prime, so this toy was a no-brainer for me to buy. Having said that, this version of Optimus Prime only appears in the movie for about 2 minutes, and during those two minutes he is very hard to see (dark, hidden behind objects) so there is no real way to tell how movie accurate this toy is.
All in all it is an interesting and well made version of Optimus Prime, but aside from the packaging it is hard to tell which character this is supposed to be.
Frustrating that my six-year-old needs an engineering degree to play with this...July 28, 2007 14 out of 16 found this review helpful
The toy itself is incredibly durable, which is the best hing about it. I know it is durable, because as the family worked to transform it, parts were snaping off right and left...very frustrating. The durability rating comes at a 5, because these parts were designed to snap off and then snap back on so it doesn't permanently break the piece. Overall, I think that is nice (considering that the old transformers didn't have this feature and many of them broke when a child was trying to get them back into a different form).
The biggest frustration with the toy, however, comes from the instructions. They are not clearly written, and we found that most of the time we tried to do what the instructions said, found it unclear or impossible to do, and ended up fiddling around with the toy until enough shoving and twisting made a piece move into something closer to the picture (We eventually stopped trying to follow the instructions because it was easier to just fidget with the parts until they looked more like the picture on the package).
The other frustrating thing with the instructions is that it only gives you instructions for transforming the toy into robot mode. The instructions to transform back are simply to go in reverse. With other transformers, this is not as frustrating because it starts out NOT in robot mode. This toy starts in robot mode, so the instructions are even more difficult to follow because you are going in reverse.
Overall, the toy is just frustrating for many reasons. It doesn't transform easily, the instructions are not clear, and the toy makes me want for the old transformers that I could transform as a six-year old with no engineering degree.

Video Review of City Commander Upgrade Resident Transformer reviewer Peaugh has posted a nice, detailed review of the recently released City Commander upgrade set created for the Classics Universe Ultra Magnus figure.
The video goes in the great step by step detail on how to convert and attach the new addition along with nice video angles showing off the impressive attachments.
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...
