My kids have many Transformers and they love them. We buy them for all the imaginative play that they provide. I would say that most of them fall apart occasionally (some more then others). My kids are not hard on their toys and this gets to be quite frustrating at times. Jetfire and Jetstorm are by far the worst offenders. They got them today, and I would say I have reattached legs, body plates, etc. more then 30 times in one evening. :O

My 5 year old nephew loves these transformers. They are a little more complicated to transform, but after about 2 hours he was doing so on his own. The hip shields do not want to stay on very well which is really the only problem we found with the design. The parts are very small so for a very young child they may not be a good choice. Overall they are worth the price. My nephew has many transformers and he says these are his "best favorites". He really liked the idea of getting six tramsformer options in one package. Can't beat that!

My son's grandpa got him Jetstorm and Jetfire today, and in less then 24 hours we have had a hip guard fall off of both figures. One we found but can't get to reattach and one has been lost permanently. Try consoling your 4-5 year old about that on the first day they get the toy! Otherwise my son loves these figures and is learning how to read instructions, so they have some educational value. If you could pay $.[..] to replace the parts you will inevitably lose off these toys, it might be worth it!

I couldn't transform Jetfire nor Jetstorm into Safeguard. The instruction illustrations showed movements and steps not possible the way the action figures were assembled. It was very very frustrating. Maybe it's just me (and my wife) and we're too old to understand, but we cannot transform these guys!

Sorry, kid. We're returning it. :-(

If you like TFA Jettwins then I say you should get this. The comic that comes with it is interesting. The figures are fun and easy to transform a bit tricky to combine them into Safegaurd mode though.

My grandson saved up his allowance for this toy. He likes playing with it. He did find it difficult to assemble but once together it stays together. He says he would recommend it to others.

As an adult collector of Transformers, I was really excited about the Transformers: Animated figures. They managed to be very close to how the characters looked on the show, and were very impressively engineered with their transformations as well.

I originally passed on Jetfire/Jetstorm because they look extremely silly. When I realized this was the last one I needed to have the complete collection, I broke down and bought it just because. I'm glad my collection is complete now, but... I could have easily lived without this.

By themselves, the twins are ok. They've got a wide range of articulation. In Jet mode, they work all right by themselves. Combining them is a bit... odd. Two jets belly-to-belly. Mmm....Yeah, ok. Whatever.

They also combine to form Safeguard. The thing looks... stupid. I give them major props for making a toy of this at all, but it just doesn't really work for me. With a majority of the toys being awesome, this falls into the category of lame.

And, as others have mentioned, parts will come off this quite easily. The hip-protector pieces will fall off for no reason whatsoever. I've even had the legs themselves pop off the joint while doing the Safeguard combination.

So, yeah, it's kind of a lackluster toy. Not very solid at all. And not very impressive, either.

Do yourself a favor and pick up Shockwave--the best toy in this whole line--if you don't have it already.

My 6-yr old loved the way they looked, but we were both frustrated with having to reattach parts that just won't stay. They were a bit hard to assemble but once we figured out what to do, transformation was easy ---- if only the parts won't keep falling off. He says he won't buy them again.

i found him at a walmart and i loved it the best animated toy ever buy this no mater how much it costs the only cons i found in it was 1 on jetstorm and 3 on jetfire jetfire his waist guard it keep falling off and win trying to get him in safeguard one part of the waist with the leg on it falls off
for jetstorm the con is not big but the chest part falls off but all ok i love the guys cool safeguard mode i love it buy it now
