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.
Amazing...........January 4, 2008 Before I purchased this toy I read the reviews posted, and most expressed the difficulty in transforming from robot to car and vice-versa. I had second thoughts.....but decided to challenge my nine year old son anyway. To my surprise in less than twelve mintes he had transform the robot (as received in the original packaging) to the car. He did use the contained drawings, which is not detailed as I thought. Kids have a way of figuring out things on their own. My advice: Do not be afraid to carry kids ability to the next level. I was hoping this toy would have kept him busy during the entire Christmas Holiday, so I have to invest in a next toy to keep him occupied.
Ultimate Bumblebee Transformable FigureJanuary 2, 2008 Product was previously previewed and reviewed in stores and online before being purchased thru Amazon. We knew what we were getting and it appeared to be durable enough, however, after numerous purchases, we've found that all the new Transformer figures are not as durable as the Armada and Energon Collection. This particular item was returned for a faulty headlight, but we didn't keep it long enough to rate it further. FYI - Advertising says 'transform at the push of a button' - a statement that is both false and misleading to young children and naive parents.

I wonder what kind of research does the toy company do when determining what age appropriat for childern and their toys? The bumblebee transformer says five and up,ya right. My husband was asked by our 6year old to transforme bumblebee from robot to car. After some time passed my husband in sear fustration gave the toy to me to figerout. Yes the toy came with direction (pictures showing how to do it which, was difficult for even me to understand). After a good 30 minuts passed I finily putting the toy togather. With out looking at the picture direction because the direction confused me. I can't see any five year old doing this task on their own. But I do say, the toy is mad strong enough that my son has not yet broke it and he seem to enjoys it a lot.
Truely cool toy for any ageJanuary 1, 2008 This is truely a durable transforming car/robot! Making the transformation from robot to car and back can be trickey (keep the directions!)I got this for my 6yr old Transformer fan, who is not very gentle when playing. It so well made, I have no fear that it will break.
Wouldn't buy this again, everJanuary 1, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Purchased this for my grandson, he is a transformer FAN. Even with simply drawn outline instructions for the transformations, three adults couldn't figure it out. The last that I saw the toy, the grandson was just sitting there pushing the noise button, which I admit the sounds are cool.

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...
