I wanted to write this review to drive down the star rating so that no other parent had to suffer with this toy. I am 36 with an advanced degree, have built my own computers, and I had a hard time transforming this toy. Worse, even the mildest amount of torque or inadvertent force will have pieces popping off left and right. Even if my son had a PhD in engineering from MIT, I can't see how he could've played with this. Ugh.

I will say that Hasbro's return policy is pretty nice.

Animated Bumblebee is a great transformer!Bumblebee comes in his classic colors in a futuristic sports car mode.Bumblebee is one of the best transformers in the animated line.I have transformed Bee back&forth a million times,had my cats knock him off the t.v. to the floor,and fall down the steps.I have had none of the problems stated in these other reviews.Bumblebee comes with good detail in robot or sports car mode to where he is exactly like he is seen on the show.This autobot hero comes with some sweet features as well like snap on rocket boosters and flip out stingers.The poseability is outstanding with great stability for creating battle scenes or unique display poses.The durability is excellent as well with secure joints and a secure build in either robot or sports car mode.The transformation level is advanced meaning if you have plenty of experience with transformers there is mid-level difficulty.If you are a parent buying for a child of 5-6 or younger you might have to assist them some in the process.Bumblebee actually has a very versatile transformation for most ages with practice.Bottom line Bumblebee is a well-made,high quality,10 out of 10 transformer all fans will enjoy.I highly recommend Bumblebee to all fans and collectors out there.Bumblebee Rocks and Transformers Rule!!!

Do not waste your money buying this. I got this in the bargain bin at K-Mart for something like $6 and after transforming it into Bumblebee, I then found that there were no instructions for turning him back into a car. It took me like two hours over two frustrating days to finally figure out that a piece was simply stuck, which was preventing me from completing the transformation. Parts fly off constantly and are difficult to snap back into place.

The box says 5+ but there's no way a 5 year-old is going to be able to keep all the pieces (body, head, two missiles, and two roof plates) together for longer than a few hours. My advice, (if you insist on getting it) keep this thing a car and tell your kid to play with it like that. As Bumblebee, he'll have everything falling off and then the toy can never be a car again.

I ended up breaking ours in order to get it back into a car and I will be super gluing it so that it can't turn back into a robot again. If I had to transform this again I'd have an anxiety attack.
