Customer Reviews:
DisappointingOctober 10, 2008 While he looks good as a robot (love the single eye), he is a loose limbed Transformer that does not pose very well as all. I also do not like the claw, which I did not notice when purchasing, that has the control sticking way out in the back.
This guy ended up in the "kids can play with this one" box.
Transformer toyJuly 31, 2008 My nephew is autistic and he love to put together Transformers together. He is very particular about the ones he wants and he wanted this one. He loved putting it together and playing it with the Transformer. I recommend this toy.
Could have been better... much better.April 27, 2008 Payload is my least favorite Transformer that I have. I still like him and enjoy playing with him, but he just does not live up to some of the more awesome ones (like Swindle). Multiple parts of his body come off extremely easily, including his head, chest piece, and front gate on vehicle mode(which also has to be removed to Transform into robot, and I lost on the first day I got it). I do not think this transformer is really worth the money if you are going to give it to a young child, and it will break the moment they open the box. But a collector will surely enjoy it.
A good buyJanuary 5, 2008 It's a little difficult transforming (at least for me!), but my son still enjoys playing with it.
Underrated baddieOctober 23, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I saw this transformer at the store and i liked it as an armored truck. It didn't appear in the transformers movie, but nevertheless i wanted it. It's a very nice surprise to transform it into robot ! He reminds me a lot of G1 Shockwave, with a single, menacing eye. It has several flaws: a lot of parts (the head, the bumpers, the hands) will snap-off too easily and you'll have to reassemble it once and again. It's top-heavy, so it's hard to pose it. And the feet are too slippery, so he falls down constantly.
...However.... it has so many little details that surprise you, that you can forgive his other flaws. The Claw Attack feature is very nice and fast, and adds a lot for playability. Sadly, it looks like if a steel beam found his way through poor Payload's chest forever. But its blue color, the appearing kneecaps, the hideout for the hands and all the details in the panels make up for all the defects. It makes a mean truck too.
If you are a collector like me, you can't leave this one out.

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...
"Move bots or you'll have to do more transform ups!!!"
