Instant Transformation
The Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster starts off as an awesome, red and blue semi-truck. The truck can be played with just like any other toy vehicle, rolling smoothly over hard floors and carpet alike. It is a very detailed model, featuring windows, studded wheels and -- of course -- the famous Autobots logo. However, the fun doesn't stop there: The truck instantly changes into an arm-blaster with the pull of a lever. With this blaster, kids will be blowing away Decepticons in no time. Kids can harness the incredible power of the Transformers by shooting darts with deadly accuracy and range. It also fits comfortably over your child's hand, virtually transforming your young hero into Optimus Prime himself.

About Transformers
The Transformers began as a Hasbro toy line back in 1983, featuring toy vehicles that could transform into robots. The toys soon inspired an entire universe of fictional story lines, pitting the two factions of Transformers -- the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons -- against one another. A live-action movie based on the Transformers was released in 2007 and has continued the toy line's extreme popularity. With toys such as the Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster, kids can bring home the struggle between the Autobots and Decepticons.

What's in the Box
Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster and three foam darts.

Product Description

Beware of the truck! Roll into battle and blow away evil with this amazing 12-inch Optimus Prime vehicle that quickly converts into a dart-launching blaster. With just one tug, the pull-back handle gets you ready for dart-firing action, and there's even convenient storage inside the truck for the 3 included foam darts. Pick one up for loads of fun at home or on the job! Ages 5 and up. Optimus Prime ('Optimus' or 'Prime' for short) is the fictional commander of the main protagonist group (known as the 'Autobots') in the Transformers universes. His original toy in Japan's 'Diaclone' line is called 'Battle Convoy' because he leads a convoy of vehicles. Optimus Prime is one of the most recognizable Transformers of the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Battle Rig Blaster Review, January 20, 2008

We bought this for our 4 year old and it took him about a week to learn how to transform it himself. If you are a 4 year old you have to pull it really hard to make it transform from the truck to the gun. Otherwise he has had hours of fun playing with it. I would also recommend to buy extra nerf darts because they do get lost easily. I think that it only comes with 3 or 4 darts.Hasbro Transformers Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster

First of all....the price on this toy is crazy! This toy is worth about $25. So if it's over that....keep price checking! It's a very durable toy. Very easy to transform from truck to gun. Heavy for small children. I am not sure of the age range, but my 3 year old had a hard time using his brother's (who is 5). Fun toy overall.

3.0 out of 5 stars You can find replacement parts!, December 31, 2008

My son got this toy and within a few weeks all the darts had fell apart! I could not find any darts that would fit it and had to write the company. They sent me soome replacement darts, but we had a hard time getting the darts to work as they were not the same size. I would not buy this toy again.
