Transformers Universe Generation Series 1 Deluxe Figure Autobot Ratchet Review

I bought this for my younger brother, who is very interested in Transformers, to show him a little bit of what it was like when I was younger. When I received the package I was pleased to see that hidden references riddled the packaging reminding me of my girl years when I played with toys religiously. I gave him the package and, although transforming it was pretty advanced for his level, it worked out well. Any piece that broke off from the struggle was easily put back into place and nearly impossible to break. I'm so glad I purchased this product as it was a great bonding time with the younger one and a good flashback for me.

Average Reviews:

Okay, this figure is really, really good. He strikes me as more of a Hound figure, but the repaint is more so. This figure also draws on a more classic transformation while still drawing on the new movie "mesh" of metal parts. He is fun, intricate, simple, and overall, a good figure. If you can't stand the bright blue paintjob then get his Armorhide Repaint. He is worth all of twenty dollars.

Transformers SILVERSTREAK G1 Commemorative Series III Review

Transformers SILVERSTREAK G1 Commemorative Series III
Average Reviews:

In case you don't remember, this is a reissue of the classic G-1 Bluestreak. I was told that they lost the rights to the name, and that's why they renamed him Sliverstreak... Well, since there was little blue on the original anyway, it doesn't matter. For the most part, it's a dead-pan perfect reissue. The joints are tight, the stickers look great, and it's quite the ride back to the 2nd grade! My only beefs are the weapons. The japanese reissues were originally silver, and could fire, but alas...
All in all, great reissue for the American fans. Looking forward to more to come!

Transformers Real Gear Robots Meantime Review

Transformers Real Gear Robots Meantime
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My son loves transformers, but this one always seems to get left in the dust. It doesn't do anything cool and it doesn't even stay fastened on his wrist (he has a tiny wrist). Don't buy this if you think it is a real watch! It is not. It will read 5:17 ALL the time. At least it was a cheap lesson to learn.

Meantime is one of the many devices granted robotic life by the intense power of the Allspark. An evil Decepticon timepiece, Meantimeâ?TMs mastery of time makes him one of the most powerful of the Real Gear robots. Meantime is well-articulated, and has a classic Decepticon look to him. Meantime chooses to use his ponderous powers not to speed along unpleasant events, but rather to generate accidents and general confusion. He enjoys finding a nice quiet vantage while he laughingly monitors the results of his twisted time manipulation.

Transformers Movie RoboVision Optimus Prime Review

Transformers Movie RoboVision Optimus Prime
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Currently, there are two versions of Optimus Prime available: The Voyager class, and Leader class. The "Robovision Optimus Prime" happens to be a metallic repaint of the voyager class figure, and was sold exclusively at Target for $19.99. In robot mode, Robivison Prime stands at 8 inches in height, as compared to the 12 inch Leader figure.
But, size is not the only thing separating these figures, as transformations are completely different. For Leader prime, the front grill in truck mode, converts to the bottom parts of the robot's feet. The robot feet in Robovison Prime, are tucked away behind the truck's cab. Also, the smoke stacks in Robovision can convert into laser rifles - a feature that isn't available in the Leader class.
As for design, I would say that the Robovision Prime seems more accurate of a representation to the movie character, in robot mode. Much of the bulk in the leader class version, has been trimmed down in Robovision Prime, producing a more streamlined figure. Also, Robovision prime has light piping in the eyes. Just place the figure below any strong light source (a bulb), and the eyes will light up. This also, isn't available in the Leader version.
However, because of Robovision Prime's smaller scale, much of the articulation that is found in the Leader version has been sacrificed. Individual fingers are unable to move, and the legs don't pose very well. Also, while the leader figure is bulkier, the transformation in that figure from truck-to-robot mode, seems to be more accurate to the movie character, as compared to Robovision Prime.
*Just a note that I didn't contradict myself: Robovision Prime has a more accurate look in robot mode, while Leader Prime has a more accurate transformation sequence.
All in all, despite some problems, Robovision Prime is definitely worth the buy, that is, if you can find it in Target. I won't recommend buying this toy at online vendors, since a lot of sellers seem to practice price gouging where this toy is concerned. An online price of $45 online is just ridiculous.
Robovision Prime was produced in limited quantity, which makes it great for collectors. Also, since this is a collector's toy, I certainly would not recommend it for children. Instead, get the "cyber stomping Optimus Prime" for the wee ones.

This is a good replica of Optimus Prime from the film if you dont mind the small size. The toy is approximately 5 1/2 inches tall and comes with the red flames on the chest and legs as portrayed in the movie. Very cool for being such a small figure, but overall good quality. Also comes with a detachable gun you can place on his right arm.

Transformers Japanese Tomy Takara Re-Issue Renewal Encore #12 Metroplex Review

Transformers Japanese Tomy Takara Re-Issue Renewal Encore #12 Metroplex
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I expected this to be much bigger. I guess when your nine this thing is huge...not so much now.
Even so, the figure is pretty impressive once you finish applying the decals (I LOVE decals! [no, seriously]) with details like skyscrapers, a helipad and ramps. Three modes (city, mobile fortress and robot) give very distinct aspects of the character and new ways of posing/displaying it (I hadn't even known about the mobile fortress mode until I read about it in a book a few years ago).
It also comes with a transformable scout car, two missile firing cannons, two non-firing cannons, a tank, and the parts to form a conning tower for the helipad. The four cannons and conning tower also combine to make another robot. That's four figures (counting the tank) for the price of one! I really wish I had had this when I was a kid, even if would be nothing but spare parts now ( as many can attest).
This is definitely worth adding to a collection.

This product is obviously made by the same company that was producing the Bachmann line of 0n30 trains for hobbyists and christmas villages. It is not designed young kids, but is a fine model for the adult model railroader. I have owned several items of the Bachmann line of 0n30, and this engine stands right along side them in detail and operation. An affordable option in 0n30.

From the new Transformers: Energon toyline comes the heroic Ironhide! Featuring electronic sounds and projectile launching accessories, Ironhide transforms from a blue SUV to mighty robot and back! In addition to these features, Ironhide can combine with the Autobot Jetfire (or other Transformers in the same size class) to form a larger, more powerful robot: Powerlinx Ironhide! Large, well-articulated, and bristling with accessories, Ironhide's playability is undeniable. A great toy, and a definite must-buy for children and collectors alike!

Transformers Robot Fighters Game Review

I don't believe I am writing this positive review but here it goes....
Let me start by saying I purchased this at full price, 24.99. My husband was making fun of me when he opened the box and saw how little there was to the game. This was marked down just before Christmas to 7.95! I was a little worried that it might be junk. BUT- my son LOVES this toy. He got tons of stuff for Christmas but this one seems to be his favorite. He wants to play it over and over and over again. I suppose I got my money out of it. Note: The blue guy knocks over the gray guy every time. The gray one is much easier knocked off.

Meet Transformer robot fighters Optimus Prime and Megatron. Ideal for ages 6 and older, these two robots compete in head-to-head battle. The first to knock their opponent off the base wins.Action Figures for a New Generation Modeled after the hit 1980's TV series and recent movie, this Transformers Robot Fighter game includes detailed figures of Optimus Prime and Megatron. Parents can have it ready in a matter of minutes; just slap on a few stickers, put the robots on their stand, and the battle begins. Playing this game is simple: The action figures perform ruthless kicks and punches as your galactic young mastermind twists and turns the knob. One minor design flaw is that the limbs move only at the shoulders and hips, thereby limiting the moves they can make. But they are built to last and loads of fun. These Transformers should integrate nicely into your child's regular action figure collection. Defeat on Battle Platform, or Play AnywhereTransformers have been around for decades and are now more popular than ever. This game allows children to decide the outcome of the endless battle between Megatron and Optimus Prime. Kicks and punches can be completed on command, and knocking your opponent off the platform is quite a challenge. Keep track of hits with the zero-to-five bar--the first one to land five hits wins the game. Or defeat your opponent by targeting the strike plate and knocking the robot off the platform. When taken off the base, the Transformers stand on flat surfaces and make a great everyday toy. Easy and Action-Packed After being a staple of virtually every home in the 1980's, Transformers are now a favorite for the new generation. With a simple design and easy game play, this toy amuses little boys for hours. Shaped like a joystick, the base features a slick futuristic design adorned with the Transformers logo. Lightweight and durable, the base is easy for small hands to control and maneuver. The action figures boast intricate details and moveable joints at the hips and shoulders. One minor design flaw is that their knees and elbows don't bend. When playing the game, the warriors are somewhat limited to sidekicks and uppercuts, but once the fighting frenzy begins, most children won't notice. Another slight drawback is that to knock your opponent off the platform, you have to hit the strike plate, which is so small it is nearly impossible to reach. Kids will enjoy trying to land five hits first and the numbered bar at the top allows them to easily keep track of their score. Overall, the Transformers Robot Fighters game is simple to play and packed with action. What's in the Box 2 robot Transformer action figures, 2 bases, and decorative decals

Transformers Armada Air Defence Minicon Team - Jetstorm / Runway / Sonar Review

Transformers Armada Air Defence Minicon Team - Jetstorm / Runway / Sonar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Its a sad day in Transformers history when it can be compared to Pokemon. Well lets try and push that thought behind and get to the toys. Of the 3 sets of minicons released this has got to be the coolest set of minicons out there. If you remember the days of the Headmasters than you will remember that those guys did not have alot of articulation and you wouldnt expect it from the size of those toys. But not only do these toys have better posability, they can all combine!! Thats right not only can they change from aircrafts to robots, they can change into a sword called StarSaber. And if you have Scourge you can have him hold the StarSaber. The only problem with these 3 guys is that its not very durable. Parts can fall off so I do not recommend giving these to small children...and in my case a kid that refuse to grow up...because you put some pressure on them and you can snap some parts off and because they are so small you can have trouble finding them again. But if you do snap them off you can easily put them it back together granted you didnt break it.
Overall I would give it a B but I would not recommend it for small children. Would have gotten an A if it the parts were a little bit more durable.

Wow! I'm in my late 30's and I used to play with these type of race tracks when I was younger....Now days, like most everything, the quality has greatly improved. The cars really hug the track. I can't believe how fast these cars go and stay on the track. Also, the colors and numbers are fun because you can relate to them with the real guys driving on TV.
I definately recommend this toy to most anyone. My daughter, who is 3 1/2 even enjoys playing. There is not many toys that a father and daughter can play together. It's tough for her to get the hang of the trigger throttle, but she eventually does. The game does get boring after a while for the older kids, but it's NASCAR racing....what do you expect

We purchased the Ghost Rider, Hulk and Captain America for my son for Chrismas. He likes them becasue they look cool. We are very disappointed in the quality and the ease changing them from a robot to a vehicle. They are suppose to compete with Transformers, but they fail on all levels.
First the instructions are too difficult to follow. I was only able to fiqure out the Hulk. That was becasue there were only about 4 moves to make it change. The extra pieces that attach to the robots constantly fall off. The little men that go in the robots won't stay in their compartments and their heads and legs/arms keep coming apart.
Do yourself a favor and stick with the Transformers.
