lewf2001Such an awesome figure from the alt mode to the robot mode. It has lots of articulation and it has an "energy absorption" mode that you can use. The best Fallen figure ever, even better than the robot replica or the legends. Definitely worth the money and definitely worth it.
Also i discovered a wierd volcano mode that appears when you stand up the jet on its boosters, fold the feet the wrong way and then fold up the nosecone, so now you have 3 modes. It only works with the Target Burning Falle....[

BobTheEggThis is an awesome Starscream. The articulation, as usual with Transformers, is fantastic, and the transforming mechanism works perfectly. The paint is really incredible, and there is so much detail put into everything. It really is an incredible action figure in general. The only problem I have is that the arm articulation is very strange. His elbows bend backwards but not frontwards, which is very strange. Still, overall this is a great figure, and if you get the chance I highly suggest you buy him....[

AdamLawsFirst thing you may notice, as I did, is that this item comes with a pretty hefty price tag. You're looking at a $30+ purchase. That being said, I do feel that the figure is worth it.
Car-Mode
In car-mode, Bumblebee looks fantastic. Thankfully, there are no large noticeable cracks, so the car-mode looks pretty much seamless. I would go as far to say that it could pass for a straight car model. The yellow is nice and solid and the decals are neatly painted and detailed. Bee's wheels all move independently, very smooth and they never catch. The only problem is that the doors (which can open and close) are a bit out of place on their hinges, so it takes a bit of maneuvering to get them to close all the way. The door hinges seems to be a bit delicate, and tend to grow loose rather...[

TheGreyGooseI'm not really into Transformers all that much, but that doesn't mean I don't like them. I was on a quick Transformers kick during which I picked up Sideswipe at my local Wal-mart, and he is pretty impressive. Like most Transformer figures, I had trouble transforming him at first, but after a few successes I was able to do it with relative ease. His feet are kind of weird because instead of having feet, he has wheels. I suppose you think this makes it pretty hard to stand him up, and you are correct sir and/or madam. However, once you get him to stand, it gets pretty easy to pull off some dynamic poses. Appearance wise Sideswipe looks pretty freaking cool. His vehicle mode is a Corvette with some good looking blue tinted windows, and a flat plastic silver which could have looked a...[

Collector1I don't like this figure. I don't like it at all. From the robot mode to the poorly made and planned out joints, this was a waste of eleven dollars. Blaze Master is an interesting concept, a civillain helicopter that apparently belongs to Channel 7 News. Honestly, I had high hopes about him. The top of the copter fold up into his arms while the blades are split in two, the main half staying on his left arm while the other half of the rotor is loosly attached to his right arm. Very poorly I might add. I'd advise, if you do buy him, just keep them together. The rotor can be spun around by depressing a button on his arm or the copters side. The chest is poorly cobbled together from the cockpit and the windsheild. It looks horrible. The rear-rotor splits in half and folds up to form his...[

Collector1I have to say...wow. Just wow. This is an incredible figure. From the complex transformation to the intracet design and detailing, this is almost perfect save for a few minor flaws. His truck mode is practicly a photocopy of the truck used in the film. The metal backing on the rear of the cab, a detail that seems to indicate that the movie Optimus would haul a flat bed trailer, or atleast the truck he copied would, is a very nice touch an also function as the battery housing. By the way, I would advise getting rid of those batteries as soon as humanly possible. Trust me on this, I'll get to it.
Anyway, at the core, this version of Prime is what Transformers are in purest form, a puzzle crafted from plastic plates and metal screws. I have never owned such a complex Transformer. Like the...[

Collector1I had been searching everywhere for Breakaway but did eventually find him when I went in to get my oil changed after they refreshed the toy aisle at Wal Mart. I snatched him up in an instant. Breakaway is one of the best deluxes I have. Very articulated, excellent detail and an adorable head that demands you hug him! Hug him darn you! He needs love! Okay, seriously, the Autobot flyer turns into a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II or some semblance of it at least. The paint scheme is pretty simple, dark brown, tan, some silver along the back ends of his wings and a series of odd green and dark green patterns over the wings and tailfins. No visible weapons in this mode, or at least ones that could be used. The minigun that is built into his right arm is very visible in this mode as part of...[

Collector1One of the original Thirteen Transformers born into existance, The Fallen fell from grace and lost his name and hops from dimension to dimension seeking to bring an end to all things under the leadership of Unicron. This is but another incarnation of the wicked Gaurdian of Entropy according to Hasbro fiction guru Forest Lee, the same character but a diffrent body in other words. So if this is true, we may actually see Unicron in the third film, a prospect I am both excited and trepidatious about. Either way, The Fallen is presented here in the Voyager Class price point to impressive results. This guy helps drive home the fact that these are alien robotic lifeforms with an unnerving frame, seven fingered hands and a head vaguly reminicent of a Xenomorph. He's also loaded down with...[

Collector1I was able to pick Sideswipe here as a lucky break, the very last one on the pegs out of a sea of Mudflap's and Sideways' along with the Scout Class figure Scalpel which is another one I'll have to review. Anyway, back to Sideswipe, what we have here is a concept model Corvette StingRay, a car that is made of awesome. And metal and plastic, but mostly of awesome. It's dead on to the actual car with sleek lines and a low frame built for speed. Of course that low frame is the first weakness of the figure. In vehicle mode, it rides so low that if you try to roll it, you risk scratching the shoulders and knees of Sideswipe's robot mode which are stuffed up under the car. Still, it is a pretty mode to look at. The sideview mirrors are made of soft rubber, presumably so they won't break as...[
