Editorial Review
The world of Transformers is no longer limited to machines that turn into vehicles. With characters like Reptilion here, the animal kingdom is now part of the long fought battle between the benevolent Autobots and the evil Decepticons. But unlike most Transformers, Reptilion never really has a completely robotic form. Instead, he stands upright as a sort of creepy crocodile man whom, despite the assurances on the packaging that he was fighting for the good guys, does not look like the sort of fellow we would hope to see in a dark alley (or a dark swamp, for that matter). Things get considerably more exciting after the inevitable transformation occurs. He becomes a creepy brown and yellow (yet still seemingly android) iguana with a spring-loaded missile that fires out of his mouth. The transformation was not intuitive but we had a relatively easy time of it.

Product Description
Watch out for Reptilion with his firing tongue missile! Reptilion's tongue becomes a firing missile, and the missile becomes an attack sword. In the distant future, the evil Unicron wages a final war for ultimate control of the Universe, summoning a vast army of Deception forces from across time and space. Responding quickly, Optimus Primal gathers his own army of heroic Autobot forces and marches into battle against the aggressors. As the enemy sides clash in the biggest war the Universe has ever seen, their bodies emit a powerful radiation known as Energon. Little do they know that Unicron is secretly harvesting this mysterious force to increase his own strength.
