Don't forget to scout this., September 21, 2005
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars
With every new transformers line comes the flood of reviews for all the Primes, Megatrons, and Starscreams. With all the established names and bigger bots being most fans' priorities in terms of purchasing and reviewing, it's easy to understand how the little basic t.f.'s, or "scout" class as this line is refering to them, would be over looked. This is also why most people don't know what there missing.
What Energon started, Cyberton continues as these are some of the best basic (yes, I know it's scout but for the sake uniformity let's stay basic) Transformers you could ever own and Clocker is quite a cut above the rest. First, let's focus on vehicle mode. Being from the speed planet Clocker's vehicle mode definetly conveys a sense of speed but if you look closely some of you older TF fans might notice something interesting. At first I didn't notice it until somebody else brought it to my attention but this little guy's vehicle mode bears a very nice resemblance to the vehicle mode of G1's Hot Rod. For me, being a long time fan of Transformers, this alone would convince me to buy Clocker and so...I did. Luckily for us this toy also offers a lot more than a G1 homage. While the color scheme doesn't match that of Hot Rod, Clocker's color scheme is quite appealing. The translucent blue of the windshield and wheels mixed with silver, light blue and orange really lend themselves well to the youthful autobot in both modes.
Speaking of other modes, after a simple yet clever transformation you're left with a very articulate little robot. His arms, while a little long, can move in and out shoulder 90 degrees or so, 360 around and at the elbow. Legs bend at the knee and have ball joints at the hips and his head turns 360 at the neck. All this articulation really makes for some nice posing. His Cyber Planet key feature (a hidden double barrel gun) works well in vehicle mode but seems a little clunky in robot mode but it's not too distracting. Even his side exhaust pipes can act as weapons by fitting them into his hands. With G1 homage and visually appealing vehicle mode and an articulate and equally visually appealing robot mode all for about $7, I really hope that Transformer fans young and old don't forget to pick up a little back up for their Optimus Prime.

Small but mighty..., October 19, 2005
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
Clocker is a really cool toy. To put it simply, he's detailed, cool, and transforms really nicely. Some of Cybertron's scout size toys are less than great, but this guy really comes together.
His vehicle mode is sleek, and fast looking, just what you'd want for a transformer from Speed planet. It is simple, but very cool. The Cyber Key can be used in this mode to activate his guns.
Transforming is very fun. The way Clocker is put together, the effort isn't much, but a lot still happens.
His robot mode is great. His poseability is nice for his size. Here, he has quite a few weapons. He can use the gun that detaches from him while transforming with the key or without. His exhaust pipes can held as guns, or used as blades under his hands.
Clocker is a fun and creative toy, and a great addition considering his price.

Clocker is Great, November 7, 2005
A Kid's Review

Clocker is an awesome little toy. I like how his cyber key pops out two cannons, but it is rather annoying in robot form because it is so big. The side pipes are a nice touch, but I use them as decoration. Overall, Clocker is just great.
