The epic battle between the Autobots and Decepticons has spanned galaxies and more than 10 million years. The Transformers continue to fight a galactic war for Supremacy; the evil Decepticons, led by Megatron, seek to conquer and rule, and the heroic Autobots, led by the noble Optimus Prime, fight to protect and preserve.
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.
The 6 yr old and the 29 year old love it!January 5, 2008 I bought this toy for my sister's boyfriend's six year old ( yeah, I know)- both males loved it- a big hit! The little one cannot manipulate the limbs, etc. without help from an adult, but no one seems to mind because the cool factor of this toy is so high!
my son's favoriteJanuary 3, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My husband and I bought this as a Christmas present for our 5-year-old, even after reading all of the reviews imploring us to reconsider. It was very difficult to transform the first time, and the directions are truly next to useless.
My husband ended up searching on YouTube and found a 15+ minute video in which some wonderful person took the time to show how to transform the robot step by step. After seeing the demonstation and helping to transform it once, my son somehow managed to teach himself how to transform it from truck to robot and back. So, I know it can be done, even by little kids, but your child would have to be as motivated as my son was to figure it out.
Oh, but do not pay the price Amazon currently has listed for this toy. I found it at a very common, bullseye-covered store for less than half of this price.
If you need better instructions transforming this one, do look at video sites. Help is out there!
I bought it for my husband.December 30, 2007 My husband was a huge Transformers fan as a kid and still is today. It was a challenge to transform but it's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. Plus it looks really cool. This was the perfect Christmas gift!
It does exactly what you expectDecember 30, 2007 I purchased this Transformer toy for my 6 year old son for Christmas. He loves it, it's the pretty much his favaorite thing he got for Christmas. Probably the only complaint I have about it is the instructions are a little difficult for him to understand (it even took me a while to figure the thing out). But other than that it's an awesome toy. I would definetly recommend this toy to anyone who's child is into Transformers as much as mine is.
Optimus Prime ReviewDecember 29, 2007 My son loves playing with this toy. He enjoys it alot, he was very excited when he got it for Christmas. He could not put it down. So far the toy is durable. It is challenging to transform it from a transformer to a truck.

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...
