My son is too young for the toy but is a good toy, it's a helicopter and a robot, 2toys for the price of 1 . My husband liked it too.

I think that pretty much sums it up. Sure, it's not the easiest Transformer to transform, and some of the parts (the rotor blades, for instance) aren't terribly good at staying *on*, but it's still an MH-65 that turns into an Autobot, so I'm not sure why you're not reading this review *after* you instinctively purchased this plastic rendering of pure awesome. Unless you are reading it after having purchased it, in which case, well done, sir! Or ma'am. I don't discriminate, and neither does this ridiculously cool toy.

After seeing this one in stores I was pretty impressed at the look and feel of it. While it does have some slight design flaws Blades it by far one of the coolest of the Transformers Universe toys.

Awsomeness..
1: Easy transformation.
I have to say he is one of the easier transformers to transform. That and both modes are seamless!

2: Durability.. Simply we all know that it stinks to have a transformer that breaks on the first day! This guy will last even some of the most intense battles!


Problems...
1: When in robot mode his spinning blade hits his ruder. No biggie, but if I wanted to rip apart a decepticon this could get in the way!

2: No knee joint.. Unfortunately Blades is one of the hardest to keep standing. Which is unfortunate for such an powerful transformer. Because it does not have a knee joint that bends to any great extent he can be rather difficult to keep standing up by himself.


Overall I would have to give him a 4-5 starts because there are still some issues that slightly defeat his ability to be totally awesome!

This should have been the design for Autobot "Evac", as he transforms into a rescue helicopter, instead of "Blades", as his bio is that of a warrior (where are the wire guided missles and laser?) For "Blades", he should have been a military attack chopper instead.

Just as a generic transformer, however, he is great. His transformertion is not too complicated, parts do not fall off (well, sometimes the blades do), and he looks good in both modes. Very durable design.

My son loved it even before he got it out of the box. He plays with it all the time. Good toy, worth the money.

I'm very impressed with Blades really, it's just a shame it's the Cybertron Evac in different colours.

Pros
- Complicated transformation
- G1 colour scheme
- Tight joints

Cons
- Just another repaint
- Some clips seem a little flimsy
- It's an old toy

Overall very good[...]

I bought several transformers from the movie scenes for my 5 year old grandson. He can't change them & either could his father! The box states for 5 & up! Very difficult & small pieces fall off.
