The Ultimate Transformers Store offers a huge range of collectibles and toys for the Transformers fan, from the classics up to the new movie products.
This is a cool Transformer!January 18, 2008 This is a very great Transformer because it is not too challenging but it is fun to transform, play with and pose. The reason I rated it 4 stars for fun is that the right arm on mine does not bend all the way, so when he is in "vehicle" mode, he is not as compact as he should be. Other than that, it is a "masterpiece."
Awesome!January 18, 2008 Awesome!! My husband loved this more than anything I have ever given him--even my virginity or my hand in marriage or for that matter our beautiful baby girl.
Poor productJanuary 14, 2008 On Christmas eve, the toy package was opened. The plastic cover was torn down to get the transformer out. My grandson was very happy to see the toy. But one foot came loose. It was never stayed intact. Whever transformation was performed, the part kept loose. My grandson totally was dismayed. I could not return it, because the package was not in original condition as Amazon's return policy requires.
My grandson loves itJanuary 1, 2008 I know this is supposed to be a collector's item but my grandson thinks it's the best Christmas gift ever. He couldn't wait to get it away from his father. He didn't care about the history, or the voice, or if the stacks were shorter than they should have been. He's 4 1/2 years old and can sing the whole Transformers song. Optimus Prime is his current hero and he absolutely loves this toy. His first comment...after he finally got it away from his father, was "This is heavy". I think it will stand the test of time and a child's abuse :)
Not the best versionDecember 17, 2007 Between Hasbro's 20th anniversary edition and Takara's version, the Takara version wins in terms of quality. First off, Hasbro shortened the smoke stacks to comply with toy safety laws. Second, paint. The colors on this 20th anniversary edition are bright red (almost orange) and matte blue, as opposed to Takara's metallic red and metallic blue. The Takara Optimus' smoke stacks, grill, and gas tanks are chrome, whereas Hasbro's Optimus are a matte painted gray. The Takara Optimus' eyes are reflective blue, whereas Hasbro's are painted blue. The Takara Optimus' feet have a clear plastic over the lights, Hasbro's version has the lights painted over. The gun for Takara's Optimus is gray, the gun for Hasbro's is bright blue. There are a couple other differences, but you get the point: Takara's version is of higher quality. But don't me wrong, since it is still the same mold, it still is a fun toy and an awesome piece for kids or the casual collector.
The absolute must-have for Transformers collectors is not this version, but Takara's Masterpiece Optimus Prime... with trailer! Transformers Optimus Prime + Trailer Masterpiece MP-04 Action Figure

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!!!"
