Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My 4-year-old grandson is very mechanically-inclined and since the recommended age for this autobot was 5 and up, I figured he'd have no problem with it. Well, I was wrong. He did pretty well considering the difficulty level, but the recommended age should probably be more like 7-8 years and up.
There's a lot of small parts that have to be turned just so and in just the right order. It took a few minutes to open it up into Bumblebee; it took me nearly ten minutes to get it back to a car. Completing the car transformation requires the whole thing to be cradled in both hands and squeezed together so that certain pieces will snap into place properly. No way are small hands going to be able to do that, especially with multiple pieces constantly shifting around. (My grandson could only stand back and watch, pretty much defeating the purpose of buying him a transformer toy.) The instructions are worthless; it's all trial and error. It doesn't seems very durable, either. I had to take care not to twist a piece too much in the wrong direction for fear of breaking it off. Bumblee's head tucks up into the car's undercarriage, but it only snaps onto a ball joint and keeps falling out.
This is a small toy with small parts and a complicated process - definitely better suited for older kids. It probably won't hold up well, which may be okay for $15. If not, I'd suggest buying something else.

Colored in black and yellow with NEST insignias emblazoned along his car doors and side fender panels, Alliance Bumblebee is equipped with a projectile-firing blaster. Having chosen to remain on Earth, Bumblebee elects to stay in the company of his human friends, Sam and Mikaela; his inability to talk, having apparently cropped up again, is fortunately sublimated to his default means of communication with Sam and Mikaela. Bumblebeeâ?TMs affiliation with NEST marks a human/Autobot alliance used as a means of scouring Earthâ?TMs remaining Decepticons and providing a unified front against the forces of Megatron and the Fallen.
