Transformers Alternators Ford GT Mirage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The alternators line sets a high standard for any new figure, with alt-mode realism on par with model kits and robot modes poseable down to the hands. Mirage meets and exceeds these expectations.
Mirage's vehicle mode looks sleek and shiny, and noteably does so without an entire coat of blue paint, making him less susceptible to paint scratches than some alternators (Grimlock, I'm looking at you). It upholds the Alternators standard with a working steering mechanism, adjustable seats, and opening doors, hood, and hatchback.
Mirage's transformation is easier than many Alternators, and none of the pieces feel as if they will break during transformation. The result is a lithe yet imposing robot mode with less kibble than any other Alternator: the roof and hatchback form a backpack (the picture is mistransformed), while the doors hang from his shoulderpads, looking quite regal. In addition, he doesn't have a car hood on his chest, but ends up with a hood for a chestplate, adding to his sleek appearance.
This robot mode is unusually solid, with no visible gaps in his chest like Optimus Prime, and has unusually good poseability. The only flaw is a loose chestplate, and in most poses this flaw isn't an issue. Overall, Mirage's good looks and durability in both modes make him a particularly strong alternator and well worth the hype as a collector's item. Of the alternators released this wave, Mirage and Meister are by far the strongest, and Mirage has poor in-store distribution, so snap this toy up.
PS: The alternators, while VERY durable for a collector's item, are very difficult to transform, so I wouldn't give this toy to a child who hasn't practiced with a few easier transformers.

Transformers Alternity Set Of 3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a great deal on three really cool figures. If you were to purchase each of them separately, you would paid upwards of $150. The actual figures are well made, sturdy, and truly amazing feats of engineering. The transformers of old these are not. The transformations take time and patience. Be prepared for this. However, once you have mastered the transformations (Cliffjumper and Bumblebee are the same), then you will be impressed with the figures. At first glance, Cliff and Bumble appear to have overly large chest areas especially when you look at the pictures. In real life, this is not so bad. In fact, it really is fine. I'd highly recommend these figures.

LEGO Designer Sets: Mini Robots Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's about time Lego made robots. Transformers Armada is a great show (and Takara's transforming toys known here as Transformers are excellently made) but other than that, all the robot shows are just about "robot wars" and robots smashing each other up. Except for the Iron Giant, most of the movies with robots are like that also. Think of the great heritage of cartoon robots from Rosie on the Jetsons to Astro Boy to R2D2. They're more human than humans, with the best of human traits. Think of the wonderful tin toy robots from Japan in the '50s and '60s. How fascinating and beautiful they were. ... What's the other great appeal of robots and space toys? Imagination. Great play value for inventing things. I'm against the recent attempt to make toys "realistic"--so that the rockets are all Space Shuttles and "heroes" all drive police cars and tanks of today. How much better to imagine the police cars and tanks of tomorrow! Thanks to Lego for their imaginative toys.

Transformers Allspark Power Voyager - Evac Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)YOU TUBE is your best source- just type in the name of the transformer in the search box, and there you have it! Probably the easiest instructions (and a good review too) you can get. Nice quality toy, can convert it in less than a minute now, kinda like a simplified rubics cube,(think of it as kind of a cool puzzle). My 4 year old son loves it(although he needs daddy's help to convert it).

NO2 Speed:Override - Transformers Cybertron Deluxe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Override is a very unique transformer. She comes with a gold outlined speed planet key, which designates her as the leader of Speed planet.
Vehicle Mode: Override's vehicle mode is one of the better and more interesting of the Cybertron transformers. It has a very fast and sleek look to it, and the robot mode is very well hidden.
Transformation: This is where my complaint with the toy comes in. Over half of the transformation is spring loaded. Pushing one thing does most of the transforming for you. This results in the vehicle mode accidentally transforming and not staying together the best at times.
Robot Mode: This mode is cool. The planet key folds out two blasters on the detachable gun. Poseability is great, only without turning at the head or waist.
A great toy, and even with the springs, it's not too much of a problem. One of Hasbro's better deluxe Transformers.

Transformers Beast Wars Transmetals Cheetor Action Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I grew up watching Beast Wars and Cheetor was one of my favorite character. I used to have this figure as a kid but it was lost or thrown away. It was my favorite figure as a kid so I had to get one to add to my collection.
If you are a Beast Wars or Cheetor fan I highly recommend it, but if you're a parent buying for a kid, then I would just get one of the "Transformers Animated" toys, they'll be cheaper (since they're currently in production) and the child will be much more likely to follow the show.
Quality is A+ (as with all Transmetal toys) and the transformation is pretty (since it's a Deluxe figure) but very show accurate.

Transformers Alternators - Honda S2000 (Windcharger) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm just a sucker for red figures. And when you compare the G1 original Windcharger (a very weak bad-looking robot) to this, it is light-years behind this wonderful figure. First off he comes with two hoods. A covertible mode (which looks better) and a full hood which can be used as a shield in robot mode.
While not being too impressed with the car mode (just isn't my type) his robot mode if very impressive and great to look at. His transformation is relatively easy with a catch. I had a bit if a struggle to transform the front end on my Windcharger. Sometimes it's just a matter of being patient. If you force things they can break.
Windcharger did not have any pieces come off in transformation (unlike Grimlock, Silverstreak, Smokescreen & Hound). That's a big plus even though the pieces that come off can be put back together easily (unless really broken).
I highly recommend Windcharger. A great figure.

JAY and SILENT BOB movie 8" Action Figures with a TON of accessories including Bong, Beer, ETC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are a fan of Kevin Smith and all his movies. Then you have to own Jay & Silent Bob action figures, especially these depictions of them coming from Kevin Smith's movie Mall Rats. Also, look up Bluntman & Chronic, the superhero version, from Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.

Transformers RID Robots in Disguise Deluxe Electronic light & Sound OPTIMUS PRIME Fire Truck (2001 Hasbro) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)WHY IS PRIME A FIRE TRUCK!!!???
OK, now that that's out of my system... I've never seen a single episode of R.I.D but as an Optimus collector I hesitantly added this one to my collection, and then only because I found him at a price I couldn't refuse. Prime as a red fire truck, with hardly a trace of blue to be found? With a voice chip commanding himself to "Maximize"?! What Bizarro World did this thing tumble out of, anyway?
But I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The robots' smaller mode does bear a passing resemblance to the Optimus we all know and love, and the super mode, while resembling Primes' third cousin twice removed, is still impressive in it's own right.The fire truck mode, while odd for a Prime, holds together rather well and is one of the more realistic vehicle modes Optimus has taken on. I had to take away a star for the fact that his "trailor" portion doesn't transform so much as disasemble and snap on to the robot, as well as the previously stated fact that they made Prime a FIRE TRUCK! Otherwise, a better figure than I was expecting. "Autobots, maximi- ah, I mean transform and roll out!"

Transformers Armada Overload with rollout mini-con Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Meet Rollout, he's a mini con who happens to also be a targetmaster, and a headmaster. He transforms into an armored truck that packs some fire power. That's not what makes him popular, not even the fact that he's a big mini con. It's really his huge trailer that happens to be both a missile carrier, and a jet carrier. Once the trailer transforms and combines with rollout, you get Overload. If you think Overload is not big and dangerous enough, he can transform in a huge assault weapon for optimus prime (armada). It has some articulation, but a great toy.

Transformers Alternators - Chevrolet Corvette (Battle Ravage) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This figure is just beautiful in both modes. Some people don't like Ravage being a robot (basically like any other Transformer) with a Beast head. It can look kinda weird if you focus on that. I just love this mold. Tracks and Battle Ravage (who is molded from Tracks). Both have beautiful forms in both robot mode and car mode. Great details, armed to the teeth and dynamic color scheme.
His Decepticon symbol is one of the bigger, bolder symbols in this line. As far as the Decepticon Alternators I own I consider him the best looking all-around. I might move him down a notch when I recieve my Alternator Shockblast (which Amazon now has so go buy it while you can!)
What would have been really cool is if they had a way for Battle Ravage to store his original cassette mode. In the Alternators storyline (well Binaltech which is basically the same thing) Battle Ravage is capable of storing his cassette mode.
Unlike Silverstreak, Smokescreen & Grimlock, Battle Ravage is among the new line of Alternators that look good even in plastic. If you want the best and metallic I'd recommend the Binal Tech line. They are in the $40-50 range. Personally, I never shelled this much out and don't have one of the figures because the Alternators are satisfying and cheap enough for me.
Overall, this is a great figure. I highly recommend buying him.

Transformers Cybertron Voyager Quickmix with Stripmine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a 12 year old boy who has just got into transformers. The only thing that's wrong is that his big mixing barrel becomes the arm which makes it kind of hard to stand him up. It tips him over. I like his minicon because it can attach to his contols when he's a truck and I've seen it on the show. When you put his key in, it shoots a little missle yay! Enjoy

Click Here to see more reviews about: Transformers Cybertron Voyager Quickmix with Stripmine

Quick-thinking, intuitive and totally loyal to the Giant Planet and its inhabitants, Quickmix serves as right-hand mech to Metroplex. It is he who first confronts Menasor over the evil robot's betrayal of the Giant Planet's traditions and who encourages Metroplex to avoid becoming involved in the affairs of the Autobots. He rarely fights, preferring his role as a builder and repairman, but when the safety of his home world is threatened, he never backs down.
He looks like you typical mixer, but don't let it fool you. He converts to a super-powered action figure. Features robot, work, battle and mixer modes, giant torpedo launcher with firing projectile, stripmine fits in cockpit, stipmine mini-con. Measures 8".

Transformers Pepsi Optimus Prime Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This toy is an instant classic. It takes me back to my childhood. Optimus Prime is still a hero to so many people. He has strength and courage and wisdom. I like the color scheme the product has, it has a patriotic look. It has the Generation 1 look. This toy is a must for people that remember the Generation 1 era of Transformers. It will remind them of the times of our lives when were care free.
