Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

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.

Optimus Prime and Megatron are modeled after the characters from the recent Transformers movie. View larger.

Turning the knob causes Optimus Prime to unleash a fury of punches and kicks. View larger.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Fun, exciting, designed for small hands The Bad: Strike plate is small, hard to hit In a Nutshell: Provides hours of entertainment At a Glance Ages: 6 and older Requires: No batteries or power source required

Defeat on Battle Platform, or Play Anywhere
Transformers 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.

I bought this for both my young boys (almost 7 and almost 3). They loved the Transformers movie and went nuts for this toy. What makes this toys even better is the simplicity of it--4 pieces that snap together. What could be better for a parent? Well how about the price! Plus, they play with them as separate action figures. This is a great toy all the way around. The boys even ask my husband and I to play with them, be prepared for sore forearms. But it certainly is fun!

This review is from: Transformers Robot Fighters Game (Toy)

My kids got this for christmas, and it was something they had really been excited about. They played it a few times christmas morning, once a couple of days later, and have not even touched it since. It is a little bit on the simple side- all it is is optimus prime and megatron on their own little stands, then you twist this little handle trying to knock the other off their stand. I think its boring to play, the kids like it okay, but they lose interest after a couple of times of knocking them off. I'm glad it was a good price at christmas, otherwise I think it would have been a waste of money.

We gave these Transformers to our great-nephew for his sixth birthday--among other gifts. When he opened the box, he hugged the box, and tried to tell everyone what he had just gotten. He was so excited that it took several tries to get the words out. They are now his favorite toys. As an aunt (and 9 time grandmother), I too love these toys--especially the fact that they do not need batteries.
