Great Toy, maybe too complex for 5 to 6 year oldsJanuary 12, 2008 My kid loves this toy, changing from a car to a robot may be too complex at first, but it is a great puzzle to help learn together for parents and kids!
What a cool toy!!!January 9, 2008 I bought this for my son at Christmas after reading several reviews talking about the durability and stoutness of the toy. The price was steep for us at the time, but I figured for my 10 yr old, he would be able to get some good play time from it. When it was finally opened and put together at Christmas, OMG!! What a cool toy! The arms move, it's a solid toy once assembled in either form. Wow! The only things to take note: Pay attention to the assembly instructions.. it is detailed, but once you've done it successfully, this is not a problem to repeat. The arms have to fit into the joint attachment a certain way. Reason being is that they do move when in Bumblebee mode. Pay attention to assembly instructions on this. The price is high, but you are really getting a great toy that is designed to be played with by kids, I would say, 7 and above. Any younger is just a neat thing to throw and with the cost, that spells disaster. All in all, Wow! well worth the cost and durable and with the bells and whistle's, in the words of Woody from Toy Story talking to Buzz Lightyear, "you're a COOL toy!"
looks greatJanuary 8, 2008 This toy was complicated to convert but after about 20 minutes I finally got it well I bought it for my 5 year old and Im 39, It looks good but its not so durable some parts are very cheaply made and it takes time to get the conversion down with no trouble but my 5 year old loves it.
Ultimate Pain to "transformer"January 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was NOT the easiest toy to transform. Took Dad 45 minutes to transform from Robot to vehicle and it does not stay too securely. Fun noises and music. Has not been back to a robot since Dec. 26th. Directions need to be framed!
Cool but complicatedJanuary 7, 2008 We got this for my son who just turned 5. Although it's very cool, lots of movement/lights/sounds, it takes quite a lot to transform it from the car to robot and back. Several precise moves, clicks, pushes, and pulls. Also, we can't get it to make many sounds while in the car mode. Although it says ages 5+, there's no way a young child could do this without a lot of adult teaching. But if there is an adult willing to put in the time, my son really loves it.

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!!!"
