I'm one of those parents that groan with dread as soon as my kids bring me one of the transformer toys that takes about 2,345 moves to get it from a garbage can to a robot. These are awesome because it takes about three moves to transform them, and there's a button that you press and it springs into robot form.

I loved it and it kept my son entertained for a long time.

I bought this son for my 3 year old for Christmas. He's a Bumble Bee fan and I need to get something Bumble Bee. It was on sale and for the price I figured that I wasn't losing much money if it didn't turn out to be of good quality. I was very surprised. 1st thing - it is small, no more than 5 inches in length...you can't really tell from the pictures. But, it's easy for him to take around everywhere. All of the joints on the toy are ball joints. Like I said, my son is 3, he has broken off some joints but because they are ball joints, I can just pop them right back in place. He knows how to convert the transformer from car to Bumble Bee by just pushing a button - it just pops and converts (no batteries). Transforming it back to a car is not that difficult and easy to figure out - he can get it about half way there and then he asks me for help with alignment. I will say that the doors do not snap into place as well as they should, but it works just fine and it does not make the car unusable.

At a minimum I was just looking for something Bumble Bee (and inexpensive) to have under the tree for Christmas regardless of quality and we've ended up with a pretty durable little car that my son really likes to play pretend with. That's good enough for me. :-)

Let me start by saying that I did not buy this on Amazon and some of the prices I've seen ($22 and up) are WAY too high. I got it at a grocery store for about $8. It is a GREAT toy for that price, especially for my 4 year old that is just beginning to love the Transformers. I also bought the Star Scream toy at the same place and that is equally good.

These are good because they are VERY easy to transform into their vehicle forms. Then you press a button and POP they spring into a robot! There are a few things you can move to make the feet, etc but my boy just plays with them as is and he just LOVES these two guys! Right now he sleeps with them. Their arms are designed to pop off (just a plastic ball socket) and they pop back on easily. I don't think this is a fault since so far they don't pop off that often.

I would recommend this toy and the Star Scream one to anyone that has a young child that likes robots, vehicles or the Transformers. I am not sure about older kids but they are nice and small (practically fits in your pocket as a car) and transform so easily that they might be a good bit of cheaper fun for them too.

I have bought MANY things with Amazon (I am a Prime member!) and for the most part the prices are the best even when compared to a store. With the Prime membership I often get 2-day shipping for free so not going out to many stores to price all the toys is always helpful. BUT with that being said I would NOT buy this for more the $10. In my opinion it is worth that... but not more. :) Happy Transforming!!
